We were looking forward to this wedding for a while for so many reasons! Jeeps, the striking Crested Butte backdrop, and of course, the dancing queen and king of 2019: Robin and John! We love, love, loved how they played (or rather blasted) EDM from their Jeep’s speakers and danced all throughout their first look. That just doesn’t happen every day and it was hella EPIC, to say the least.
Robin and John’s ceremony featured an intensely changing (and distinctively Coloradan) weather pattern complete with sunshine, rainfall, intermittent gales, and a return to clear skies. Adventurers they are, this couple rolled with the punches and seemed to savor the fact that mother nature was declaring her presence as a wedding guest. (Indeed, their wedding included a camping theme, which is why we snuck outside to get a shot of Robin’s dress with the tent pitched in the backyard!)
High fives to the rest of their rad team:
