Late last month I ventured off to my uncle’s Bed & Breakfast Pine River Ranch in Leavenworth near Lake Wenatchee for a make believe wedding / photo shoot of Elizabeth and Ross. Tim spent all summer refurbishing the ranch and transforming the old milk barn into an awesome rustic country wedding location. It’s still in progress but we wanted to showcase what a wedding would be like at the ranch so we had Elizabeth and Ross get married for us all over again to capture the magic of the ranch in photos. It was a beautiful sunny day in late October and while the air was crisp the sun was warm and cast a glorious glow on the whole place.

Elizabeth and Ross were fantastic! My mother-in-law Christi showed them my portfolio prior to arranging to have them get married for us again and Elizabeth was totally into my Trash The Dress sessions. So, right after the ceremony we headed down to the river behind the ranch and proceeded to trash her dress in the COLD COLD water. Boy! Elizabeth was a trooper. She went all the way under! Sara and I both captured some great shots of her dunking. What fun! I love how crystal clear the water was. The refraction of light on her dress underwater totally makes those shots for me.

The ranch is currently booking weddings for 2008. If you’re interested in having your wedding at Pine River Ranch, give Tim a call at 1-800-669-3877 or email info@prranch.com
