Your wedding photos are beautiful.
I especially like the one where the entire bridal party is jumping in the air and pulling a silly face – how do you come up with this stuff?
Another entirely novel approach to getting married is doing it atop a mountain. Not just any mountain, mind you, because we’re talking about Mount Everest.
James Sissom and Ashley Schmieder are the couple in question, undertaking a three-week trek to Base Camp in order to exchange vows at 17 000 feet above sea level (5 180 metres).
Here’s the Tribune:
“After much deliberation, we decided a traditional wedding was not the right fit for us. As much as we would have loved to share our special day with our family and friends, we were both drawn to the idea of eloping during an incredible vacation.”, said Schmieder…
While the wedding was unconventional, the couple donned traditional wedding clothes — Sissom donned a black tux and Schmieder wore a strapless white wedding dress…
The wedding was documented by Charleton Churchill who is a specialist adventure wedding photographer. “I wanted to portray the contrast that exists between the intimidatingly majestic mountains and the small, fragile love between two humans”, said Churchill.
There’s getting there:
Getting ready:
And then getting hitched:
Apparently the ring bearer was a yak.
Jolling.
Churchill said that the conditions for the wedding shoot weren’t perfect, but I’d say they came out pretty OK.
Again, your wedding photos are beautiful.
