Mountain Transportation

Mountain Transportation

November 5th, 2008 @ 5:42 pm by Mrs. Champagne

I thought I would share with you some unique ways us “mountain folk” consider transporting guests, family, and the bride and groom to and from the ceremony. Even if you don’t ski, most of us are at least familiar with a typical chairlift. Although Champ and I won’t be venturing on the mountain (too cold in February!) I would LOVE for this to be a part of our wedding day. Who knows- maybe I’ll whip out the wedding dress this summer for a TTD photo on the mountain!

I suppose I could snowboard in my dress! Perhaps at our day after shoot with my cousin.(Julie Robles Photography)

And of course, the “Just married” photo. You could also write “Thank you!” and send it out as a thank you card to guests!(Amy Carroll Photography)

How will you get from ceremony to reception? Have you seen any other unique wedding transportation ideas?!

My husband and I were in Steamboat Springs, CO back in June for a wedding and we got to take a gondola up the side of the mountain to get to the ceremony and reception site! So fun!!

You and Champ HAVE TO get a shot on the chair lift during the winter!!!!!! I know it will be cold as all heck, but it’s the quintessential we got married in Vail/Colorado/Rocky Mountains photo.

@Mrs. Cookie: it’s true… I think we’ll do it the day after.

We’ll be having a different method of transportation, in a way - our feet! The church and reception are only three blocks apart, and our honeymoon B&B for the first night is right in between the two. When we exit the church we’ll have sneakers on our feet, and we’re creating “Just” and “Married” signs to hang from our backs. We’ll depart with our ring bearer (dog) and take a few photos in these lovely spot right by our B&B before heading back to the church to finish up the family/bridal party photos.

Ooh the chair shots are gorgeous!! We seriously considered doing our wedding at a ski hill here in Vancouver called Grouse Mountain.. maybe it’s a good thing I hadn’t thought of chair and gondola shots as that may have swayed the vote. Your photos are gonna be so unique, Champs!

These pics look like fun! Although the bm in the first pic on the far right looks like she is afraid of heights! We live right next to the mansion we are having our wedding at…so we could probably walk…but i think we will just rent a nice convertable for the day!

LOVE the thank you idea! We don’t have enough time between the ceremony & reception to get a shot like that, but I really wish we did. Maybe we could do a reenactment!
