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 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.
