Outdoor Summer Wedding at Pine River Ranch | Mason Jars + Yellow Rose Bouquets

Stacey and Brian had a beautiful Wedding here at Pine River Ranch last August and their talented photographer Saskia M captured the details of their big day perfectly (like always!) The sun was shining and it matched Stacey’s yellow rose bouquet perfectly! The yellow, blue and khaki color scheme of their wedding was a perfect compliment to their August date.

Photographer Saskia Mizushima did a great job of capturing Stacey and Brian’s “first look”

Brian and Stacey got some great photos around the grounds here! I love this one of them at the end of the dock! 

Mason Jars are a DIY favorite at Pine River Ranch for decorations. Stacy chose to use the mason jars for her aisle decorations filled with yellow flowers and tied with a blue ribbon.Stacey had quite the grand entrance with a horse drawn carriage! We always love seeing the faces of guests when the bride arrives by horse and carriage! 

They also had a grand exit as husband and wife! A nice stroll around the property in the horse and carriage to share their joy while guests enjoyed a cocktail hour outdoors in the beautiful summer weather. 
The decor in the barn was so fun and I loved the personalized table centerpieces. Each table was filled with pictures and cities of places that had significance to them as well as beautiful flower arrangements in mason jars! 
They had quite the crowd lined up to catch the bouquet and garter belt!

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

Countryside Charm and a Beautiful Lace Ball-Gown Wedding Dress

We have migrated over onto Wordpress, sorry blogger :( But I will continue to post here for awhile so people have time to readdress their bookmarks! Plus, there is a subscription link on Wordpress so you know when the site has been updated! Our New Blog

Molly and Josh had a beautiful wedding here in Leavenworth, Washington in July that made us feel right at home at Pine River Ranch.  Molly did most of the wedding decorations herself and the touches of the countryside in their place settings, table centerpieces and decorations filled the venue.

Many of you may remember photographer Maija Karin who shot Katie and Dereck’s Wedding that was featured last July (remember Dereck’s adorable daughter Kyah who made the cutest flower girl!) Well we have her to thank again for another stunning set of wedding pictures at Molly and Josh’s big day.

Molly’s grand entrance into the ceremony in her beautiful ball-gown style lace wedding dress was a show stopper, I won’t spoil the surprise but I’ll let you see for yourself in the pictures below!

How about this kiss for their first reveal! I think Josh liked the dress 

Maija said Molly and Josh made her job easy with the beautiful dramatic poses! Molly and Josh were all smiles the entire day!

Molly needed a little bit of help from her bridesmaids to travel through the fields and hold up her ball gown!

The fields of daisies surrounding Pine River Ranch are beautiful in the summertime and are always a brides favorite!

The bridesmaids looked great in their light green dresses and beautiful bouquets

What a fun shot!

Meet Vivy, Molly’s other best friend!

Remember last weeks grand exit from Jenny and Tom on the tandem bicycle? Well I think they have a run for their money from Molly! The guest received quite a surprise when Molly was brought to the ceremony riding Vivy the horse bareback

Molly and Josh wrote their own heartwarming vows which were so touching and unique, you could feel their deep love for each other and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house!

I love the way Molly hung the flowers on the arbor and what a great first kiss!

Their love for animals made great table centerpieces at the receptionMaija caught a great shot of Molly and Josh during their toasts at the wedding ceremony.

The celebrations continued into the late hours of the night and guests waved sparklers as Molly and Josh made their exit for the night to our Bed and Breakfast at Pine River Ranch.

Is this not a great photo!?

Molly and Josh began their honeymoon in style in one of our 6 private Cabin Suites! After a long night of dancing, celebrating and enjoying every possible moment of fun a relaxing Jacuzzi Spa for 2 is just what a bride and groom need! Molly and Josh were able to flip on their romantic gas fireplace, draw a hot jacuzzi spa and begin the perfect honeymoon.
