โ Kaity & James LOVE going off-roading in their decked out vehicle: itโ€™s more than just a hobby for them, itโ€™s a total way of life. Every chance they get, theyโ€™re disappearing into the backcountry to camp, slow life down and connect in nature.โ 
โ 
So, it was an absolute no brainer that this was how they would spend their wedding day!โ 
โ 
They packed up their vehicle with everything theyโ€™d need to be self sufficient for a few days – including their sweet pup Rooney, ESSENTIAL for this mission – and came on over to western Colorado.โ 
โ 
We hit up some of our favorite locations with them, sharing stories of everyoneโ€™s adventures along the way. โ 
โ 
After a peaceful sunrise, they whipped up a killer French toast breakfast, before soaking in the views and letting Rooney sniff to her heartโ€™s content.โ 
โ 
In the evening, we held their ceremony – which was laughs and tears in equal measure – then their Rooney signed their marriage license. They wrapped up their day eating cake off the back of their vehicle and enjoying a sunset first dance as the world slowed down around them.โ 
โ 
And, of course, we made sure to get some killer star shots with their beloved vehicle, before leaving them to set up camp for the night! โ 
โ 
Imagine waking up in the wild the next morning… What a perfect start to married life.โ 
โ 
Congrats Kaity, James and Rooney! We canโ€™t wait to explore more with you one day.

P.S. That gorgeous, non traditional dress? It’s by the incredible Flora and Lane. And the cute matching boots? Thursday Boots Co.
