If I’m not mistaken, we took about two hours to finish our portraits which meant we were around 30 minutes late to meet our bridal party and family for pictures. The funny thing was, we didn’t care. We’d padded the photo-taking with enough time that we were still able to get all of the pictures we wanted. Plus, it was so frigid outside (probably 30 degrees with the wind chill) that we couldn’t stand a drawn out photo shoot anyway. With t-minus one hour until our ceremony time, we gathered our friends and went back out into the field for some group shots.
The storm clouds and wind really started to pick up.
Beyond these professional pictures, our friends got some funny pictures of this whole photo shoot taking place.

How did we get here?
Mr. CB and I road-tripped it to Colorado.
I spent a peaceful morning with my girls.
Followed by a rowdy bachelorette party.
Two days before the wedding, we fought.
Then, we made up.
On Saturday, Mr. CB recuperated while I hiked with friends.
We celebrated our rehearsal dinner.
Sunday Morning: The girls got ready.
And the guys got ready.
Mr. CB and I had our First Look.

Love at The Ranch: A Frigid Bridal Party
I LOVE the shots of all the boys “walking”. I think those are always my fave shots of the boys at weddings. =)
So pretty! I actually just sent the link to my friend who’s doing our photos going “I want this!”
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing! I love it all. The out-takes are a nice touch to the absolute perfection of these portraits!!! This looks like an editorial for InStyle weddings or something. Gah!
May I just say, Mrs CB, that I’m thrilled to see you tromping around in a big field BEFORE the wedding? We did the same thing, just down the road a bit from you guys, prior to our ceremony—and by all accounts it seems to have counted as ‘trashing the dress’ since I dared step on long grass!
You look gorgeous, and they were such good sports to run around in the cold. 
wow your weddings is already shaping up to be beautiful! i can’t wait for the next group!
These are all so fabulous! I love the color of the dresses and flowers are so very sweet. The picture with you in front of all of the men is my fave, the smiles on everyone are practically flawless!
I love how the BM dresses have different shades! Great visual effect. :]
Such gorgeous pictures. The non-pro ones are hilarious, too!
i must say.. i saw your blog on southern weddings (or was it style me pretty) a few days ago and then stumbled across your blog here.
your wedding was simply AMAZING!! and you my dear, made an goregous bride.
congrats and keep the pictures coming - they melt my heart <3
The photos with the storm clouds are so cool! And your bridal party looks fabulous!!
Beautiful photos!!! The bridal party did a good job at looking warm!
So brave for running around in such cold weather in your dresses…but you can’t tell in the photos..you look great!
Your pictures look like they could be straight out of a JCrew ad!
gorgeous! I love the way your girls’ dress colors look together. it’s amazing!
Beautiful pictures, I really like the difference in colors for your bridesmaids dresses.
CB, I have SUCH a crush on your wedding. How you all managed to stay so flawless looking in such cold temperatures, I will never understand! Can’t wait to see more!
I love these pictures! And it’s fun to see the behind-the-scenes shots. : )
beauuuutiful! I know it wasn’t intentional, but I love the windblown carefree look so many of your photos have! And the storm clouds made the sky look awesome!
I am in love with the photos of your wedding. Seriously!
Love that close up picture of you and your BMs, I’m bummed that I don’t have one like that. We were just too busy being goofy!
Love the walking picture with the storm clouds in the background - gorgeous!

Mrs. Cowboy Boot, Santa Fe Age and Occupation: 25, Magazine Editor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Artist and Whitewater Rafting Guide Engagement Date: April 28th, 2008 Wedding Date: October 2009 Venue: Devil's Thumb Ranch, Colorado About Me: I grew up in Los Angeles and have since lived in San Diego, Boston, Italy, Hawaii, New York City, and Santa Fe. I speak Italian and love pasta. My real passion is the outdoors, though. When I'm not at work, I'm snowboarding, hiking with my two dogs, mountain biking, surfing, cross-country-skiing, or boating New Mexico's rivers. Despite my boyish love for adventure, I'm a girly-girl at heart and am overly-excited to pull off the romantic, vintage-inspired, country wedding of my dreams.
