Back in the fall Dustin and I had the opportunity to travel to Buena Vista, Colorado for one of our friend’s wedding!  We decided to make a mini vacation out of it!  Colorado is by far one of the most beautiful locations we’ve ever traveled to!  We were surrounded by breathtaking mountains and landscapes.  There is so much to see in the state and we were only able to explore one city but definitely plan to travel back in the future to explore more!  Has anyone traveled to Colorado before?  What are some must see locations?  This trip was so fun for Dustin and I and a great retreat in the middle of our busy wedding season!  It was so fun to be wedding guests for a change!  Wait until you see the ceremony location of the wedding, it was unbelievably beautiful!  Below are some iphone and camera shots we captured during our trip, most of them taken by Dustin!  Enjoy a little peak into our mini CO vacation!

On our way to Buena Vista we had to pull over a couple times to capture the beauty!

Our cute cabin for the trip!  The mountains were literally in our backyard!

As soon as we arrived we started hiking!

We took advantage of the self-timer for some scenic portraits!

My favorite travel buddy 🙂

One day we drove up a mountain with our friends, Bobby and Carly, trying to get to the top!  The dirt road was insanely narrow and windy and Carly and I pretty much thought we were going to die.  Somehow we made it to the top alive!

We took advantage of the scenic views for some photos!

This is one of my favorite photos of Bobby and Carly!  This picture completely captures who they are!

Can you spy Dustin in the photo below?  He spontaneously sprinted down the mountain and up the adjacent mountain.  Yeah…he’s crazy.

After making it back up the mountain Dustin said it felt like his heart was going to explode out of his chest.  This is what he chooses to do for fun, I will never understand so many of the choices he makes! Ha!

The wedding weekend was so fun as there were activities planned for the entire weekend for all of the guests!  One of my favorite activities was hiking to an outdoor breakfast!

We would travel back here in a heartbeat!  It would be an absolute dream to shoot a destination wedding in Colorado someday!

One afternoon we traveled to a ghost town and the highlight was playing with chipmunks!

Yes…that’s a chipmunk on my back!

Here is the incredibly beautiful ceremony location!  You can’t beat getting married in a meadow in front of majestic mountains!

Dustin snapped these next few ceremony shots from his seat!

Such an amazing vacation and we already can’t wait to travel back!
