Kim and Will

Kim and Will had the quintessential Crested Butte Wedding, and I had the opportunity to shoot in some new places that were really cool! The entire day had a very western, Rocky Mountain feel that suited them so well. Rachael Gardner from Crested Butte Events was instrumental in creating the mood of the day.

The ceremony was held at the Gunsight Pass Bridge, a very quiet and idyllic spot on the Slate River with sweeping views of Mount Crested Butte and Paradise Divide surrounding them. The ceremony was intimate and led by Tim Clark. Sunny, warm and beautiful.

After the ceremony we took some photos in and around the river and then headed to town to take some 'urban landscapes' aka fun barnwood/old shack shots. Little did they know, a surprise horse and carriage was waiting for them. When I suggested they get in, Kim looked at me like she was stealing the ride! Once she figured it out, she was psyched, and they rode around town for a while and then were delivered to the Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum.

The tables were set with floral centerpieces mounted on antlers thanks to Keli at Misty Mountain Too and the food was delicious and served by Arrangements- Keely and her staff. Kim and Will danced to the sounds of DJ Triple L and cut and ate one of the best cakes I've tasted made by Robin Cox.

A perfect wedding day, all in cowboy boots. Now that's Crested Butte.
