ARGH!!!! We had two weddings this weekend and even though I’ve been working non-stop on the pics since we got back from our Sunday session I’m still not done with enough pics to post a preview from either yet. And we have a wedding from December and countless sessions that we’ve yet to post. Sigh. Bad blogger. This is so not like me.

I’m not even going to try to make excuses. Instead I’m just going to keep posting shots from when we were down in Frutillar for Vale and Stanley’s destination wedding in the South of Chile. As soon as we got home I ran a quick action on these shots and had Seba upload a whole bunch of them so I’d have something to post over the holidays. Then I proceeded to ignore my blog through Christmas and the New Year because I was too lazy to write the post text nobody was online.

So now I have all these gorgeous frames left to share with you from my favorite place in the world!

We had seen these volcanos from afar and thought it would be fun/grueling to go up one.

And then when we drove around the lake and part way up one, we realized, hey! We could make some dreams come true! There was a ski lift that would take us part way.

All aboard. Ash was scared of riding up this thing and I can’t say I blame her. It looked very ummm, metal and rusty and unregulated and un-inspected as things in the South of Chile tend to look.

These brave souls walked up, bless their hearts.

The view was spectacular. That’s Lago Llanquihue we’re looking down at here. If that was the only thing we’d seen all weekend that still would’ve made the trip worth it.

Doesn’t this next photo look like a dinosaur spine? No, that’s just my imagination? Whatever.

Hahahahaha! Ash has her camera phone in her hand and she’s making fun of how serious we were with our big kid cameras.

  1. I LOVE the one of your hair blowing in the wind. This only makes me think even more that you should go to Antigua, Guatemala – one of the most romantic wedding destinations and site of some of the most beautiful volcanoes in the world. Volcan Pacaya awaits you to climb!

  2. Omg – my heart started pounding a little bit when I saw that chair…scary! But I’m terrified of heights so that’s probably just me…gorgeous photos, though! I love snow pictures

It looks like a really amazing place to visit. I’m tired of saying i love the pictures every time you post something so I might not say it all the time, but I do love them!!!!!
