Every couple wants their wedding day to be one to remember,
but this couple went above and beyond to make sure theirs was unlike any other.
James Sissom, 35, and Ashley Schmieder, 32, from California,
travelled thousands of miles and spent days trekking through the snow to tie
the knot on Mount Everest.
Ashley said:
"After much deliberation, we decided a traditional
wedding was not the right fit for us. As much as we would have loved to share
our special day with our family and friends, we were both drawn to the idea of
eloping during an incredible vacation.
We both are avid lovers of the outdoors and had experience
at altitude up to 14,000 feet, but we knew the three week Everest Base Camp
trek would be far more physically and mentally demanding than anything we've
experienced."
While the ceremony was certainly unconventional, the couple
brought a touch of tradition to the occasion with their outfits. Ashley looked
radiant in a figure-hugging embellished gown while James looked dashing in a
suit.
The day was documented by specialist adventure wedding
photographer Charleton Churchill, from California, who accompanied the couple
to document the incredible journey.
Her Hubby, James said:
"I wanted to document a real couple getting married,
the journey along the way, the pain, the happiness, the tiredness, the
struggles, as well as the romantic chemistry of the couple.
More than that, I wanted to portray the contrast that exists
between the intimidating majestic mountains and the small, fragile love between
two humans."
