Dahlias, Hydrangea, Spray Roses and Seeded Eucalyptus were used in the bridal bouquet for this one-of-a-kind Rocky Mountain celebration. First of all, it was at the Black Mountain Lodge, which is located mid-mountain at 11,550 feet at the Arapahoe Basin Ski and Snowboard Area, which is simply called, "A Basin" or just the "basin."
These photos are from just the drop off. The family was going to set everything up, and Joe Kusumoto was the professional photographer was assigned to capture the day through his lens. Now, Joe's an accomplished photographer, and has been exploring the world of iphoneography, just like I have.

Winter weddings at the basin cannot exclusively rent out the Black Mountain Lodge at this time, but could always reserve a nice section at the beach. The "beach" as it's known is the front row parking area that gets filled up with some serious tailgate action.

Now, here's a photo of all the flowers in their transportation containers, grouped closely together. I like taking these images lately, as it shows a nice concentration of the colors and types of flowers in close proximity.
I was surprised to see this boulder choked creek was under our feet as we skied this line. It's pretty amazing how much gets covered up by the snow. This drive is short, but pretty rocky in a few spots, and not as forgiving as the road up to Ten Mile Station on Peak 9 at the Breckenridge Ski Resort.

This ceremony arrangement was to be surrounded by a few flowers tied to the posts on this deck. The view of the East Wall tops out at over 13,000 feet. Check back to see photos from Joe at the wedding!
