Aspen/Snowmass based elopement photographer & videographer for adventurous couples who want unique, activity filled day in the mountains, because how you get married matters. While capturing you in your element, we strive to take photographs that are memorable, evoke emotions, and are simply different. It is the journalistic documentation that we strive to achieve, while at the same time capturing

We specialize in event + lifestyle photography; whether it's a music festival, a wedding, or a corporate event, we put our creative touch on everything we point our camera at. Coming from a photography background, we've found a way to translate photographs into moving images. We are documentarians and storytellers, and your video will be a direct product of this.

A winter wedding done right: fresh snow, candlelight, and a balcony ceremony at the historic Hotel Jerome. ❄️

Every detail was cozy and intentional: fur-lined chairs on the balcony, a table glowing with candles and white florals, and a dinner that felt more like gathering at home with your favorite people than a traditional wedding. No rush. No pressure. Just connection, warmth, and joy.

Monnie & Carl’s vows took place outside as the snow kept falling — a moment so quiet and personal you could almost forget the world around. Then came the candlelit dinner, the emotional toasts, the laughter that echoed late into the night. Intimate in every sense of the word.

There’s something undeniably magical about getting married in the winter — when the world slows down, everything feels more cinematic, and the smallest moments become the most meaningful. If you’ve ever dreamed of a winter wedding or elopement in Aspen, this night is proof that it can be unforgettable.

When I photograph couples, I always remind them of one simple thing: posing is really not as complicated as it seems.

Honestly, half the time, the best photos come from the way two people already stand together, the way they naturally hold hands, lean in, or smile at each other without even thinking.

You don’t have to study poses or remember anything before stepping in front of the camera.
Just one small step, hold hands, tilt a little closer, or stand comfortably side by side, is more than enough.

Once you settle in and start relaxing, those tiny movements, a breath, a laugh, a gentle touch, slowly turn into something real. And that authenticity is what I’m always chasing.

For me, those “basic poses” aren’t meant to look perfect. They’re just a warm-up. A way for you to forget the lens, feel at ease, and slip back into your own rhythm as a couple.

And the moment that happens, when your connection takes over, when it’s no longer about the pose but about the feeling, that’s when the frame shifts.

That’s when a photograph stops being a pose… and turns into a memory.

Some weddings become milestones, not just memories. Elisabeth & Jordan’s celebration at Smuggler mine wasn’t only a breathtaking mountain location — it was the very first wedding I ever photographed in Aspen, and it still holds a special place in my heart ♥️.

Smuggler mine is unlike any other place in Aspen: rugged, historic, and perched high above the valley with a view that feels endless. And I remember letting the day guide me, following the way these two gravitated toward each other, capturing their connection as naturally as it unfolded.

Elisabeth and Jordan, you’ll always be the couple who gave me my very first Aspen wedding — and I’m still grateful you trusted me with such an important beginning 🙌.

Being part of celebrations like this inspires me to keep creating with my whole heart. Moments like these remind me why I cherish this work so deeply, and if my approach speaks to you as well, I’d be honored to tell your story.

If you’re planning a mountain celebration in Aspen or a destination wedding anywhere in the world, I’d love to document it with intention and artistry. Send me a message and let’s start planning your day.

Some love stories unfold quietly, like snowfall: soft, steady, and full of magic♥️.
Laura & Brenden’s intimate winter elopement above Aspen and the Jerome rooftops felt exactly like that 🙌, peaceful, glowing, and beautifully theirs.
The top of Aspen in January is its own kind of poetry. Fresh snow under your feet, breath turning to frost in the air, and the mountains standing like gentle giants around you. Pair that with the charm of the Jerome rooftop, and your day becomes a blend of timeless elegance and alpine magic.
Laura and Brenden, thank you for inviting me into a day that felt like a whispered secret between mountains ♥️ Winter light is my favorite, and it wrapped your story in the perfect atmosphere for something so intimate 🙌
Your wedding day should feel effortless, meaningful, and beautifully you.

Let’s connect and start planning the experience you’ve been dreaming.

There are weddings you photograph, and then there are weddings you feel.
Lizzie & Matt’s summer ceremony on top of Buttermilk was the kind that stays with you long after you put the camera down: light, laughter, and mountains stretching endlessly behind their “I do.”

Lizzie and Matt, thank you for trusting me to be part of such a joyful, heart-full day. I truly enjoyed every moment with you, your families, and that incredible wedding party.

My job on a wedding day is to quietly read the energy, anticipate emotion, and document it in a way that feels honest, and you both made that effortless.

Every frame told a part of who you are together. And Buttermilk… What a backdrop. The open sky, the warm summer air, and the rolling ridgelines, they all created a setting that felt cinematic yet intimate.

Colorado has a way of framing love in its own gentle, powerful language, and your day was the perfect proof.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

A ski wedding at the end of the world surrounded by glaciers, icebergs and penguins - it does not get better than this 😍

Congrats Claire & Josh! What an amazing experience in Antarctica with 💍🐧⛷️

Fall in the Roaring Fork Valley really knows how to set the stage 🍁
Warm colors, soft light, and that “we don’t need to overthink this” kind of day — my favorite way to photograph.
I love when a wedding feels relaxed and natural - and this is exactly how Jennie & Billy's day was. No strict timeline, no pressure to perform for the camera… just people having a good time in a beautiful place. That’s when the real moments show up — the laughs, the side hugs, the quiet in-betweens, the dog doing their own thing and somehow stealing the show.
If you’re planning something small and intentional in Colorado — Basalt, Aspen, Snowmass, Maroon Bells, a trail, a backyard, wherever feels like you — I’m here for it.

Maren & Brian chose to celebrate their winter wedding at the Top of Aspen, and it couldn’t have fit them better! The snow, the open space, and the quiet in the air made everything feel relaxed and easy. Shooting in weather like this takes calm pacing, clear direction, and knowing when to step in and when to let the moment unfold.

That’s the part of my work I value most: keeping the day easy, natural, and real so the emotions show up on their own. The goal was for the photos to feel real, like what the day actually felt like to them.

Thank you, Maren & Brian, for trusting me to document your day as it happened, without forcing anything or rushing through the moments that mattered.

It was such a joy to be there with you 🥰

Katherine and Liam’s Aspen wedding was everything you’d hope for when two families come together in the mountains: elegant, heartfelt, and filled with so much energy. Photographing their day reminded me how powerful it is when love meets tradition and joy meets celebration.

The day began at the beautiful St. Mary’s Catholic Church, where soft morning light streamed through stained glass as they exchanged vows. It was a moment of quiet reverence, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. From there, the celebration flowed seamlessly into the historic charm of Hotel Jerome, a perfect mix of classic Aspen beauty and modern vibrance.

Days like this are what I live for 💫! A mix of artistry, emotion, and those unscripted in-between moments that truly define a wedding day.

As a photographer, I love capturing that contrast: the calm of the ceremony and the rush of celebration. Every frame told a piece of their story, from Katherine’s radiant smile to the spark in Liam’s eyes as he spun her on the dance floor.

Photographing Malka and Brian’s proposal on Top of Snowmass Mountain was one of those moments that reminded me exactly why I love what I do. Being part of something so personal and unscripted, surrounded by light, emotion, and scenery that takes your breath away, always feels special.

That morning, the snow was soft and untouched, the sky clear, and the peaks around Aspen glowed in the winter sun. When Brian got down on one knee, time seemed to pause. After the “yes,” their celebration felt effortless as they shared champagne, laughed together, and let the calm of the mountains wrap around them.

I let the emotion guide the story, focusing on the small details that make a moment feel alive—the way her hands trembled, the light catching on the ring, the snow melting softly on their jackets. That, for me, is the beauty of proposal photography. It’s about connection, atmosphere, and preserving a feeling that only happens once.

If you’re planning your own mountain proposal, I’d love to help you make it timeless. Let’s capture the moment exactly as it feels, real, emotional, and completely yours.
