connie + justin :: winter park wedding

Go West, find adventure and love. That’s the shorthand story of Connie and Justin, two backcountry downhill skiers that left their roots and found a new high altitude life. Mutual adventure friends brought them together, and might’ve helped things along a bit as Justin’s stated response when he first met Connie was, “out of my league.”

untitled-1Those of us who migrated from back East all get the same looks from family + friends. They can’t believe the outdoors people we’ve become. Who ever dreamed of a guest registry at REI or Sierra Trading Post? LOL. It’s the scenery … or the air.

Congratulations to you both, and thanks to Devil’s Thumb Ranch for awesome day in the sun.

Melissa & David married on one of those storybook perfect Colorado mountain days complete with fast moving clouds, a quiet Dinner shower and colorful sunset.

0907mdg-566Congratulations to Melissa & David!

Now, pay attention to the couple at the end of the congo line – any similarity to the couple in the next blog entry is purely intentional.

penny + damon :: winter park wedding

Penny & Damon fell in love in New Orleans, but the call of the mountains pulled them to Colorado. The Woodspur Lodge was the perfect hosting site for the 100+ family and friends who came from bayou country.

In typical mountain fashion, the clouds were moving quickly through the sky creating some dramatic lighting.
