Aspen and the surrounding area is one of the top destinations for Colorado weddings. Between the famous vista of Maroon Bells, ski resort weddings, quality shopping, and the nearby Glenwood Springs hot springs, there are nearly infinite beautiful backdrops that I live for as an Aspen wedding photographer, and a hundred things for your guests to do while they enjoy your Aspen wedding weekend!

T-Lazy-7 Ranch – With their own private view of the most infamous mountain peaks – the Maroon Bells – T-Lazy-7 Ranch is a beautiful wedding venue if you’re seeking something a short drive outside Aspen proper. This venue has a lodge for reception spaces and a spacious meadow if you want to keep everything outdoors with the vistas all around!
The Little Nell – With access to The Sundeck and Aspen Mountain Club, The Little Nell is one of Aspen’s top wedding venues for its amazing selection of backdrops and scenery. Elegant, classic, and all things “Colorado” make this an amazing option for your wedding venue!

From a meadow ceremony surrounded by mountain views to a sleek reception in the ballroom, there are many beautiful options at the Aspen Meadows Resort!
Maroon Bells Amphitheater – This is one of Colorado's most sought after locations for smaller weddings. Reservations are difficult to come by, but if you can snag one you'll be surrounded by some of the most iconic views in the state! The Amphitheater at Maroon Bells hosts up to 50 people, so your group does need to be smaller than some weddings, but if that aligns with your vision this is the spot for you!
Imagine your wedding day... every moment wonderful yet feeling a little too fast. You wish you could slow down time.
Imagine feeling fully comfortable in front of the camera, knowing your photographer will gently guide you to look your best.
Imagine having a professional who is a fly on the wall to capture the day as it unfolds so you can relive it over and over.
Imagine having access to 13+ years of wedding expertise—vendor recommendations, timeline advice, and planning guidance that helps you avoid common pitfalls and feel confident throughout the process.
Imagine enjoying the intentional celebration you’ve created with a pro to help you craft the perfect timeline and family formal list so you can enjoy your day.
Imagine planning your favorite day, regardless of what others think, and fully enjoying every moment because you know the experience matters more than the aesthetic.
Sound pretty great?
Since starting my business in 2012 and moving here in 2015, I've been helping couples navigate the beautiful chaos of planning and photographing elopements across Colorado's Western Slope, San Juan Mountains, and Moab, Utah.
I believe your wedding day should feel as beautiful as it looks—which means comfortable, stress-free, and entirely true to who you are.
Whether you need comprehensive planning support, photography that captures the story and scenery of your day, or both—I'm here to make sure the experience is exactly what you hoped for.
When I'm not helping couples, you can find me with a chai latte, binge-watching Gilmore Girls & Grey's Anatomy - again.

Amanda was the best decision we made for our wedding day! The photos are exceptional and perfectly capture the scenery and vibe we were going for, but that’s only a portion of what Amanda provided. She helped give us planning guidance, organization, and reassurance throughout, which alleviated all the worries we had about eloping in a place we’d never been before.
"the best decision we made"
-Allison & Ethan
Amanda is the perfect wedding photographer. The photos perfectly captured the whole day and I feel like I can easily relive it just by looking back at the photos. I highly recommend Amanda.
"The Perfect Wedding Photographer"
-Beth & Dustin
We used Amanda for our wedding and she is the BEST! Our photos turned out amazing and she captured the feel of our night perfectly. She’s also really fun to hang with. We didn’t want her to leave at the end of the night!
"She captured the feel of our night perfectly."
- Kylie & Murat
Amanda did an amazing job on our elopement photos! She was incredibly organized during all the planning and sent incredibly helpful tips and ideas in the months leading up.
"Incredibly organized & helpful"
With my storytelling heart and 13+ years of experience leading wedding days, you'll have everything under control, and someone on your side if you need it.
There's a weird thing in the wedding world where photographers will act like your wedding day is their personal styled shoot. You won't find that around here.
I'm there to capture your wedding day - your way.
Not into detail photos? We don't have to do them!
Would you prefer to get ready alone without it captured? That's cool!
Only want coverage of the ceremony, group photos and first dance? I'm happy to do that for you.
I'm there for you - not for me! I want to document your day - whatever that day looks like.
No matter the package, you always get:
An heirloom wedding album that tells the story of your big day to cherish for years to come + professional design assistance.
Timeline & Group Photo List collaboration - you probably haven't made dozens of these per year like I have, so let me help you with that!
The final digital files in an online gallery, unlimited downloads, and online access for at least 1 year. Plus free websize downloads for guests!
My travel included - no hidden extra fees!
Plus endless guidance and collabs through the planning process, including ideas, tips & tricks, and sage advice.
You're not just hiring a photographer who shows up on the day. You're getting someone who's navigated Colorado & Moab wedding logistics hundreds of times and can help you avoid common pitfalls, connect with great vendors, and create a timeline that actually flows.
