Talk about peak beauty.
In a wedding shoot like no other, photographer Charleton Churchill, along with a brave California couple, made the 17,600 ft.-journey to a base camp on Mount Everest in Nepal for an unforgettable experience. And the pictures are out of this world.
“Photographing at base camp Mount Everest was unbelievable surrounded by the Himalayas,” Churchill tells Global News.
“What I wanted to do is marry my passion for the outdoors with wedding photography and form something different.”
Churchill explains the couple first got in touch with him last year through his Instagram page. They were looking for an “adventure wedding” and bells went off in Churchill’s head: “I mentioned Mt. Everest base camp, and well…here we are now,” he writes.
“Ashley’s reaction was more of excitement when I mentioned Everest to her.”
“After waking up and having a discussion with our guide, and James feeling better, he mentioned that we can get to base camp carrying oxygen, photograph a short wedding, then fly out on a helicopter,” Churchill explains.
The couple had 90 minutes to eat, get married, pack their gear and travel back down the mountain via helicopter.
The result is a story as beautiful as it is captivating.
“I had some photos already in mind, but I only captured around one-quarter of the photos I wanted to get. I didn’t know where I was going to photograph the couple, because I hadn’t been there,” he says.
