"Worth the Wait" | A Nostalgic Colorado Elopement Video With Childhood Home Movies
Переглядів 126Рік тому
The first time we talked on the phone with Shayna and Josh about their Colorado elopement, we learned two important things about them. One - Shayna’s favorite film is the 80's movie Dirty Dancing. Two - Their families took TONS of camcorder footage of them. Little lightbulbs started going off in our heads, and we asked if they would like any of those old home videos incorporated into their elop...

Can’t find a link anywhere for your Primary Bedding linen sheets.
They aren't sold anymore 😞
L❤ve from THE ROAD TRIP
did you install your own windows
Sure did!
Came for the build, stayed for the story telling. Thanks for bringing us along
Lovely video. Hope to seeore videos from you.
I would put the overhead cabinets on the side of the shower rather than the kitchen side. This would give more headroom over the bed and space when you climb on the bed. As it is the cabinets jut out too much. The slimmer cabinets over the kitchen are just right. Overall this layout is my ideal layout: the bench next to the cabin is where I would like to have a 2nd bed.
Wow, full electric, and TWO mountain bikes inside. That's an engineering feat.
Ridiculously helpful!
This is exactly how I want my wedding video to look ♥️
I have a SUV camper And you would be surprised at the items it has....But the one thing that was a must was a 3gallon bucket with pool noodle seat Bio grade garbage bag TP on the handle And a 2 liter sport bottle ...Now going to the bathroom while pulled over I do have to flip apart of the bed over But just picture where my rear seat(s) use to be And where a 1/2 size bucket sits..Oh and also my the back of my drivers seat has a nap sack with hand san, baby wipes, in with shaving gear
This is amazing!! Such feeling and adventure in every shot. Well done friends!
Saving this for inspiration for shots on the road. Beautiful y’all!
Oh my goodness, this is INCREDIBLE! Absolutely stunning shots. You both have such an eye for composition and editing! This made us miss y'all x100 though!!
Gorgeous
thaat is perfect trip-
I'm looking to build a spot for my composting toilet, in my cargo van I use for delivering packages and mail as a postal rural carrier. I'm getting ideas since I plan on keeping shelves in it, I'm also looking to add a sink to wash my hands.
Congrats!! What venue in cb did you pick?
We were actually the videographers for this wedding! The couple rented Sopris House in downtown Crested Butte for the rehearsal dinner, getting ready on the wedding day, and brunch the day after the wedding. For their ceremony and reception, they rented out a private Airbnb that recently sold and no longer allows weddings. We were so stoked we got to film it!
Oh my gosh, this is gorgeous! I'm feeling super sappy this morning and I'm binging your wedding videos.
Thank you so much, friend!! 🖤🖤🖤
😍😍😍
This was awesome!! Looking forward to the season!
Thanks for taking the time to share the showerbuild very informative well done.
Excellent! Well done & calmly narrated. I like how the comments add to the dynamics of such a project. 😊
one of the most beautiful videos ive ever watched! never stop!❤️
Stunning! Where in Colorado is this located?
Great job, looks beautiful. I would take a really thin flexiable peice of material like the vinyl cutting sheet that you can find at the dollar store or something like it and cover it with a piece of vinyl fabric with spray adhesive or whatever. You can also glue a tab on the back that you can use to pull it off for easy access.
Just watched this after listening to you guys on Chris & Sarah's podcast! What an absolutely epic series, I truly didn't want to that end! I agree with what they said, this series definitely makes you feel something, I can't wait to hit the road in our van. Thanks for taking us along! -Cody
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!👊🏼🖤
I love watching your videos! Hello from Indonesia. ❤

This was so beautiful and captivating, has me missing every location you shared, I see it had the same impact you as it did for me 🙏🏽😊
Thanks, Bob! So happy you enjoyed it. There is something very special about Oregon for sure!
Wow!! This is so beautiful you guys! Great job capture the beauty of Oregon (and all the other states too!). So glad we got to meet up!
Thanks, Jaclyn! We are so happy we got to meet you guys, and thanks for showing us so many incredible spots! That hike was a summer highlight for us 🙌🏻
Stunning photography and videography as always! We are so happy you had this amazing adventure. If you ever land in Bellingham, we would love to connect. You always have a place to park and call home for as long as you would like in Bham OR BV. 😊
Thank you, Jacy! We were sad we didn’t make it to Bellingham this time, but would love to in the future!
Oregon was home for 28 years, so lovely to see some of it again here!
Wow that must have been incredible to live there! It’s so beautiful!

Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
Oh, so pleased to see new travel content here! Your videos are like a breath of fresh air in the sea of endless chit chat travel vlogs of UA-cam 🥰
Thank you, that's so kind of you to say! As introverts it's hard for us to talk to the camera so this is our version of vlogging haha
Your final words sit with me deeply. Must hold expectations lightly and be ready for anything. Everything you do is beautiful. 🙏🏾
Thank you, that's so kind of you to say. The van has definitely taught us many lessons about life!
Even better than the first one! This one hit all the sweet spots and we can’t wait for next week! Keep up the awesome stuff guys!! 🎉
Thanks Austin! That means so much ✌🏻
Nice Chef Pancake…what kind of pan were you using? Looking forward to seeing my fav lake in next weeks vid!
It's the Always Pan! Best pan for vanlife #panlife

It’s actually near Hanksville in Utah!
nice adventure!
Thanks! 😃
GUYS! THIS WAS SO GOOD!. Every shot was beautifully captured. You left us wanting more and we can’t wait to catch the next episode. Please keep making videos this summer!
That means so much coming from you two! Thanks guys! We’re making it our goal to make as many videos as possible this year. You’re the real MVPs because this vlogging thing is so hard!😵💫🤣
So good guys!! Stoked to see what comes next!
Thanks so much Austin!
Any particular reason you chose AGM over Lithium? Just checked the prices on the batteries you mentioned and the prices for a lithium bank of similar capacity isnt all that different. Not too mention the batteries are a lot lighter too for your payload
Hi Hugo, great question. When we built this in 2019, we spent ~$1500 on our AGM batteries, and lithium was at least double today’s prices. Cost of lithium has really gone down a lot. Those Enduro lithium batteries are a really great deal, and even make us consider switching to lithium! AGM has worked really well for us though. One of our favorite benefits is that we can store the van all winter and never have to worry about the temp of the batteries.
At 7:24 . If I understand correctly.. let’s say you had an appliance that sucks 348amps/hours and you use that for an hour. Would the batterie be dead ? Huge thanks for the wire diagram 💙
Glad the wiring diagram is helpful! Yes, 348 amps for 1 hour would use the whole useable half of our battery bank.
