Emely & Jeremiah | Point Defiance Park Engagement

This Emely & Jeremiah gallery was photographed by Lessie Blue Photography, a Seattle and Pacific Northwest studio specializing in intimate weddings and elopements.

Spring Engagement Session at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, Washington

These two beautiful souls met almost three years ago when Jeremiah started a new job and was doing training in Los Angeles. The place he was working at needed more help from other teams and Emely was available to help with an marketing event. From there, these two randomly got assigned to work together on the project and they worked together for about half of a day. They ended up taking the rest of the day off to go grab a bite to eat and spent the rest of the day chatting and getting to know each other well into the night.

Once that ended, these two kept in contact and Jeremiah was constantly looking for any reason and/or excuse to travel to LA for work to see Emely. They ended up dating long distance for two years and got engaged in Central Park after 1 year. Alas, these two are tying the knot in a few weeks!

A Beautiful Park Engagement

Emely and Jeremiah first met almost three years ago, when Jeremiah started a new job and was doing training in Los Angeles.

The place he was working needed more help from other teams, and Emely was available to help with a marketing event.

These two were randomly assigned to work together on the project for about half of a day, and that half day changed everything.

A park engagement session is the perfect way to celebrate a story like theirs, and this one began with a bite to eat and a long evening of conversation.

Once that day ended, these two kept in contact, and Jeremiah was constantly looking for any reason or excuse to travel to LA for work to see Emely.

They dated long distance for two years, and they got engaged in Central Park after one year, which makes a spring park engagement at Point Defiance feel like a homecoming.

Their spring session took place at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, Washington, a setting full of tall trees, garden paths, and wide views over the water.

A park engagement here works beautifully in spring, when the light is soft, the blossoms are out, and the paths are quiet enough for real conversation.

Emely and Jeremiah laughed their way through the session, and the candid frames show exactly why these two are so easy to photograph together.

They are tying the knot in a few weeks, so this park engagement session also works as a joyful pause before the wedding rush begins.

For couples planning their own session, a few simple tips help: choose outfits you can move in, arrive early for golden light, and leave room in the timeline for unposed moments.

The gallery below captures their spring day at Point Defiance, from quiet walks among the trees to joyful portraits in the open light.

A park engagement is about more than pretty pictures: it is a record of who you are together, right before everything changes.

Thank you, Emely and Jeremiah, for trusting Lessie Blue Photography with this beautiful chapter, and congratulations on the wedding ahead!

Spring at Point Defiance brings fresh green, soft morning light, and space to breathe, which is why so many couples choose this park engagement setting for their portraits.

Whether you are newly engaged or counting down the final weeks, a relaxed session in a place you love will always be worth the time.
