Chambers Bay Golf Course in Tacoma, Washington is one of my favorite venues to shoot at in Washington. It has so much going for it as a venue that gives couples ease, convienence, beauty, and elegance. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting a bunch of weddings there and can’t wait to do more! Let’s dive into what makes a Chamber Bay Golf Course wedding the perfect event.
As a photographer, one of the greatest parts of shooting a wedding at Chambers Bay Golf Course is its convenience to both the couple and their guests. The day flows effortlessly, with the ceremony and reception just steps from each other. There’s no need for guests to travel between locations. That means more time to focus on capturing those candid moments and intimate details that make a wedding special. This setup allows me to seamlessly transition from ceremony to reception, ensuring that every moment is documented without interruption.
Chambers Bay is known for its breathtaking views of Puget Sound. I couldn’t ask for a more stunning natural backdrop as a photographer. The expansive water views, combined with the rolling greens of the golf course, create a timeless and elegant setting. As the sun sets, the sky often transforms into a canvas of warm hues, casting a golden glow over the entire scene. These sunset moments are great for getting those classic gold hour shots. We can either stay up top, or take the golf cart down and get the sunset closer to the water.
One of Chambers Bay’s most distinctive features is the cool remnants of old architecture scattered throughout the property. From the arches of old buildings to the remnants of industrial structures, these spots offer unique and creative photo opportunities that tell a story of time and place. I love guiding couples to these locations, where we can capture images that are not only beautiful but also rich in character and uniqueness.
If I still need to convince you that Chambers Bay Golf Course is a great wedding venue, take a look at the images or visit yourself. The combination of convenience, natural beauty, cool architecture, and elegance makes it a dream location. Whether it’s the sweeping views of the Sound or the intimate moments shared under the golden light of a sunset, a wedding at Chambers Bay will surely be an unforgettable experience—for the couple and your guests.
