Styled and planned by Lauren New Photography
As a Puyallup photographer who adores the charm of spring weddings, I was thrilled to photograph and plan this romantic styled shoot at Orting Manor—just as the gardens were beginning to bloom. There’s something truly magical about that first burst of color and warmth after a long winter, and this editorial was designed to capture exactly that.
With a vision centered around modern garden romance, the design featured lush greenery, hydrangeas in full bloom, and playful pops of pink throughout. The setting at Orting Manor in April couldn’t have been more perfect—fresh, green, and glowing with spring light. Every corner of the property offered something beautiful, from ivy-covered walls to flower-lined pathways.
Our bride’s look reflected the softness of the season: glowing makeup, a delicate mantilla veil, and a corset-style gown that brought together classic bridal elegance with a contemporary twist. For a few moments, she styled a sheer neck scarf that gave the look a dreamy, editorial edge. Paired with glowy, dewy skin and soft waves, her whole look felt like the season come to life.
One of my favorite moments? Watching our model couple play a quick game of croquet on the lawn—a fun, laid-back nod to yard games making their way into more weddings. These little details are such a sweet way for couples to make their wedding day feel personal and relaxed.
Whether you’re planning your own spring wedding in the Puyallup or Tacoma area, or simply love romantic, garden-inspired vibes, this shoot is filled with inspiration. From the timeless florals to the intentional details, it’s a reminder that weddings can feel both elevated and full of heart. I wouldn’t have been able to put this together without the help from these rockstar vendors listed below. I would fully recommend any of them to help you create your dream wedding day.
