Mrs. Cowboy Boot's Picture
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.
About Mrs. Cowboy Boot

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.

Outside, the bridesmaids borrowed the groomsmen’s coats to keep warm.

Running back to base camp, they tried to prove they could handle the cold; they were strong.

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.

I LOVE the shots of all the boys “walking”. I think those are always my fave shots of the boys at weddings. =)

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!
