Celebrating 10 years together | Robby & Alyssa

I have some fantastic photos that I am so excited to share. If you have been following the Pine River Ranch blog since the beginning you will remember Robby and Alyssa who were engaged and then married here in 2010, {Check out their hot pink and black wedding.} They have been back to visit us every year since their wedding for a romantic getaway and just celebrated their 10th anniversary as a couple with some beautiful photos at the Ranch! We are so honored to play such a big role in their story and were more than happy to have them back for another trip out for this mini-photo shoot. Alyssa was so kind to share the photos with us after their shoot.

I asked Alyssa to share their story with everyone and this is what she had to say: "We started our journey 10 years ago as a young couple in high school. The first real trip we took together was to Pine River Ranch and the Ranch continued to play a part in our love story for years after. We celebrated our anniversary each year at the ranch and also got engaged and married there! We found it only appropriate to return to Pine River for a few photos to celebrate ten years together."

A little wedding flashback: :)

I saved my favorite for last, don't you just love- love! 

Thanks again for sharing Alyssa and Robby, we look forward to celebrating with you for many, many years to come. 

Fall Wedding at Pine River Ranch, Leavenworth Washington

With the romance of the holidays filling the air, 'tis the season for engagements! December marks the most popular time to pop the question and with Christmas, New Years and Valentine's Day coming right up we are  ready to fill our 2013 calendar at Pine River Ranch and "save the date" in 2014. With the summer of 2013 quickly filling I wanted to share this beautiful October Wedding for those couples that have their hearts set on 2013, but aren't sure about a fall wedding. October is quickly becoming one of the more popular wedding months in Leavenworth. The weather is a bit more cooperative and predictable than our Seattle counterparts (meaning less chances of rain!) and the fall leaves make for simply stunning photographs. Another factor that draws in many of our out of town guests is the famous Oktoberfestcelebration that the town of Leavenworth comes alive for. Two day destination weddings where family members can get together for Oktoberfest, golfing, rafting or many of the other Leavenworth activities before the rehearsal dinner are on a rise!

This October at Pine River Ranch, Leavenworth refused to accept that fall was here. The wildflowers were still in full bloom and we were blessed with beautiful sunny days. Talk of pumpkin spice lattes, scarves and crisp mornings were buzzing about and mid-October the leaves had begun to change.  This gorgeous October 22nd wedding at Pine River Ranch was sent to us by Shane Wilder over at Skipow Photography and I thought it was the perfect way to show our future brides and grooms what a fall wedding looks like here in Leavenworth. Shane did a great job of capturing the vibrant colors of the fall leaves.

I loved the fall colors of the bridesmaids dresses.

With a wedding at Pine River Ranch there is always a back-up plan if Mother Nature decides not to cooperate on your big day. The ceremony can take place inside our fully restored 1944 dairy barn and our staff can quickly transition the seating to your reception setting after the ceremony.
