Natalie and Jamil decided to celebrate their marriage with a trip to the beautiful Crested Butte. The mountain is known for having some of the county’s most advanced terrain. Both Natalie and Jamil share a deep love of snowboarding, so they wanted photos of the two of them tearing up the mountain!
We started the day with some photos at sunrise on a bridge over Slate River. It was pretty cold out, but seeing the first rays of golden sunlight hit the fog rising from the river made it all worth it.
Afterwards, they donned their snowboarding gear and we took one of Crested Butte’s iconic painted buses to the mountain. (We took the Gunnison Valley Recreational Bus painted by Megan Craver).
They spent the day snowboarding and exploring the mountain and taking in the incredible views. We were treated with a sunny, blue-sky day, and snowcapped mountain views. I don’t have the actual statistics, but Crested Butte has to hold the record for having views of the most peaks from their runs. Everywhere we went, the view was unbelievable! We stopped a few places along the way for portraits, including some gigantic trees with the fluffiest snow covering each branch.
