ski snowboarding bride and groomYou guys are going to LOVE this: Kari and Todd’s “Awesome Telluride Wedding” in Colorado lasted for almost a week with many wedding-y adventures, including Heli-skiing! And we have Anita Nowacka to thank for capturing all the adventurous wedding porn.

helicopter vowsTheir Heli Ski adventure included a ceremony in the helicopter. Anita told us that they said “yes” to each other in a moment of laughter and sheer happiness, “You can see it in one photo when the officiant is reading the vows to them and they are cracking up.”

helicopter kissesI love this photo as much as I lust over that wide-angle lens. 😉 Also, please note Kari’s white wedding veil attached to her helmet and Todd’s white bow tie under his ski suit! I die.
