I love the fall and I love fall weddings! I don’t know if there could have been a better place to have a fall wedding than the Ritter Farm in Cle Elum, WA. It was such a beautiful backdrop to a beautiful day! We decided to head to Chelan a day early, stay the night with family and then while they watched our pup we headed to Cle Elum for a Sunday wedding. It all worked out perfectly. We had a great day documenting a beautiful wedding and then afterwards headed back to Chelan to shoot a beautiful engagement session the next day for my neice. It was a nice working vacation for us.
After spending time with Aleah and Brett during their engagement session, I knew this wedding would be awesome!
The guys even had a cute little out building to get ready in. They weren’t forgotten!
The girls had their own little cottage to get ready full of girls singing, music playing, curlers in hair, makeup galore and lots of laughter.
I really wanted chickens in this shot! I love all their plaid shirts!
Aleah’s Mom helped with her shoes and garter. Cutest mom in curlers award goes to…
The first look is always so fun and magical!
The guys.
And the girls.
I loved how the guys entered the ceremony. How cool is this!
Aleah was ready, surrounded by her closest friends.
Walking with dad, what a special moment!
Weddings are so beautiful and Brett’s dad officiated and made it even more beautiful!
Notice the baskets at the back of the rows… those had blankets in them for people to cuddle with :). Cutest idea!
My favorite ceremony image!
Aleah and Brett were so very happy and incredibly adorable together. You could feel the love.
The barn was beautifully decorated!
Check out the cake cutting knife!
Introducing the bride and groom.
Aleah’s mom was a girl scout leader to this group of woman for 12 years and they all made it to the wedding, some traveling from out of state to be there!
Don’t throw the bouquet too high they said… well…
What a great wedding! Thank you for trusting Joe and I with your precious memories! We were honored to be there with you! If you want to see Aleah and Brett’s engagement session, you can find that here :).
