Outdoor Barn Wedding at Pine River Ranch Unique Bouquet, Colorful Shades and FUN!

First off, I'd like to apologize for having to bore everyone with our featured wedding this week, especially on a Friday :( Our beautiful wedding couple Matt and Paula were rather dull....NOT!!!! Matt and Paula, you guys are epic (not a word I normally use, but it is such an accurate description).  Memory MP did an amazing job (as usual) of capturing this insanely fun, high-energy, filled with belly-aching laughs, gorgeous wedding here at Pine River Ranch! I had SO much fun looking through these pictures and laughing (as well as oohing and aahing!) Matt and Paula, you guys are a perfect couple whose lives are going to be filled with great friends, plenty of laughter and most of all unmeasurable amounts of love!

Is that not the coolest bouquet you have ever seen? I have to post another picture of it, I am so in love!

Meet Matt and Paula. Paula, you have that rockstar look down very well! 

Meet their wedding party!

Looks like a rather dull group huh :) Memory MP captured some beautiful shots of the bride and groom on the property here at Pine River Ranch as well. I love the shot of them blowing on the dandelions! {If you've been following us for awhile you may remember Amy and Tavis of Memory MP shooting Kelsey Jo and Jeff's Royal Blue Summer Wedding too!}
After a little bit of couple time they reconvened as a group and had some more fun!This picture just had to be included in the post!

The weather remained beautiful for the ceremony as Matt and Paula said "I Do"

Mr. & Mrs.

They are already in perfect harmony as husband and wife! After a long, fun day Paula and Matt were able to retreat to our Bed and Breakfast, where they started their honeymoon in our romantic cabin suites with breakfast delivered the next morning! 

Matt and Paula, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful wedding day with us here. You guys are such a fun and down to earth couple.

Fall Wedding | Orange Calla Lilies, Woodsy Touches and a Proposal at 11,000 Feet!

Hello all, just wanted to remind you once again that I have migrated the blog over to www.prranch.com/wordpress! There is a subscription link on the side of our new blog that you can enter your email address and you will be notified when a new blog is posted! 

Well, it looks like we have another stunning bride, a handsome groom and another beautiful rustic outdoor wedding to share with you. I love my job! :) I am skipping over a few [equally wonderful] summer weddings to share with you Kellie and Josh's amazing October Wedding at Pine River Ranch because the last of the crunchy red, orange and yellow leaves have fallen out of the trees and the snow is threatening to come down again! I wanted to sneak this fall wedding in before Leavenworth turns white with snow for the next few months.

Kellie and Josh's wedding showcases fall colors, rustic details and it was all captured by fabulous photographer Jadyn Welch. (We'll skip backwards into summer again next week when I am chilled to the bone sitting watching the snow fall and need a pick-me-up!)

(Also, just got a really neat subscription sign up over there <-- Just enter your email address and it will send you an email when we have a new post! And your address won't be used for anything else, I promise!)

The groomsman wore dark brown tuxes which looked great with the fall colors in the bridesmaids bouquets and decorations around the venue.

Orange Calla Lillies made the perfect flower choice for a fall wedding bouquet

Kellie and Josh took a stroll down to Nason Creek for some beautiful fall wedding shots! They weren't quite as brave as Emily and Ross, who took a dive in the creek during their October Wedding 3 years ago!

We also have a pond with a great little bridge and dock for photos!

Josh proposed to Kellie on TOP of a mountain at over 11,000 feet! How cool is that!?

The trail out to the river in the fall is beautiful!

The sun gods were looking down on Josh and Kellie for their big day. Despite the forecast calling for 100% chance of rain, we only saw a few drops during the day and the sun even broke through at times for some beautiful lighting during the ceremony.

I loved the floral arrangements in mason jars as aisle decorations on the chairs. I thought the pine cones were a great touch that was perfect for the fall!

Kellie and Josh had a unique idea at their ceremony. Instead of pouring sand into a vase or lighting a candle, they each poured dirt into a pot where they had planted a tree!

Being pronounced as husband and wife is something to dance about!

The decorations were very creative and reminded me of the Pacific Northwest, guests got to take home these unique candles.

Their yummy wedding cake was actually a cheesecake (my personal favorite ;) It was beautifully decorated sitting on log rounds

It looks like Josh is transitioning into married life very well ;) I think they will get along just fine!

After their big day, Kellie and Josh retreated to our Bed and Breakfast to start their honeymoon with a relaxing soak in their 2 person jacuzzi spaAs always any Photographers, Brides, Grooms and Family

Outdoor Green and White Barn Wedding | Leavenworth, Washington

Pine River Ranch | Leavenworth, Washington Wedding Venue

I was contacted by Lance Xavier of Xavier Photography a few weeks ago THE DAY AFTER this beautiful September 25th wedding with the photos. You have got to love that turnaround time brides! He showcased a wonderful blend of the indoor barn with the rustic refinished hardwood floors and walls and the luscious green grounds here at Pine River Ranch.

Love this shot of all the Bridesmaids! They know how to work the camera! Their green dresses look beautiful with the green manicured lawns at Pine River Ranch.

This is also a great shot for brides who are thinking about using different styles of dresses for their bridesmaids but are not quite sure how it will look! These beautiful bridesmaids look great in their different styles of dresses but Stefanie still outshines them all!

 With 22 acres at your disposal you are guaranteed to get beautiful shots with any scenery. Here is a beautifully lit shot of the bridal couple at our pond. I love the long shadow across the dock.

 CREATIVE IDEA ALERT! A great idea for "Thank You" cards or parent albums

As always, if you have photos to share with me please email them to ngourlie{at}yahoo.com, I would love to feature them on the blog
