Thank You Snohomish Pie Co!

February 23, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Wow! Wow! Wow! Snohomish Pie Co. You’re the best! I recently met up with a bunch of vendors through an amazing guild I’m a part of. At the guild meeting I met the Snohomish Pie Co. They served delicious desserts for any kind of occasion and event. Specifically it was a wedding inspired desert table. Later they handed out boxes and we were freely able to take home these yummy goodies. The next day my son woke up and well, what’s better than breakfast?! DESSERT FOR BREAKFAST!! Yep you heard that right. Haha. I whipped out my camera and started capturing the feeling when you first bite into one of their desserts. Just Yum! So good. I can’t wait to visit them again. I hope this inspires you to consider them for your wedding or event. You won’t be disappointed.

PNW Micro Wedding Inspiration

February 22, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to my blog. Today I’m going to talk to you about Micro Weddings here in the PNW and how fun it can be to create your own wedding with 20 people or less. Some people may argue it’s 50 or less. At the end of the day, you get to decide how small and intimate your wedding can be. The smaller you go the less you have to budget for and manage. You get to focus on all the details you have dreamt of without the fuss of a big venue. Or you can purely go simple with no need to think about any sort of details for the day. It’s just you and your partner surrounded by the closest of family members and friends.

If you want, you can hone in on exactly the wedding you dreamt of that highlights you and your partner’s personalities and the heart of your lifestyle in your celebrations. You get to the splurge the budget in ways you thought you never could when you don’t have to pay for a large venue, catering for hundreds of people, etc. This particular inspirational photoshoot was done in a photography studio loft in downtown Seattle that was an inexpensive Airbnb rental. If you plan on becoming man and wife down at the courthouse of Seattle, look no further to Lauren Ryan Photography arranging a rental for a few hours to capture indoor photographs in a stylish setting.

Many options for small venues exist including unique Airbnbs, VRBO rentals, waterfront properties owned by friends or family (if you can borrow the space), get a permit for a Seattle or Washington State Park, and so many other options outside of traditional venues.

If you are planning your Micro Wedding for 2020 or 2021 reach out to me. I would love to photograph the heart of your wedding day. Email me at info@laurenryanphotography.com

The Best Seattle Wedding Exit

December 20, 2019 · Leave a Comment

A couple years ago, I photographed Summer and Dan’s Golden Gardens Bathhouse wedding. After many years of a full plate wedding schedule, I’m finally able to share with you one of my favorite Seattle wedding exits of all time! It was truly breathtaking. Summer surprised her new husband with a Seattle Seaplane exit. The plane landed in the puget sound, right outside the venue. The beach is open to the public so many Seattleites, tourist, and the wedding guest got to be apart of the wedding exit celebrations. I can’t wait to do more fun exits in 2020! Hopefully adventurous one’s too!
