WEDDINGS IN CRESTED BUTTE
DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER SERVING CRESTED BUTTE
Crested Butte is one of my favorite places in Colorado. The beautiful mountain passes just outside of town, the adorable shops and restaurants down Elk Ave., the amazing hiking and mountain biking, and of course the best skiing in the winter make Crested Butte a perfect place to host your wedding weekend. Mountain vistas, beautiful aspens, and wildflowers galore will be a stunning backdrop that I live for as a Crested Butte wedding photographer!

TOP CRESTED BUTTE WEDDING VENUES
Mountain Wedding Garden – This garden located at Town Hall and city park on the mountain is a quintessential Crested Butte wedding venue. Known for its low rates and beautiful views it is perfect for your smaller, laid-back celebration!
Gothic/Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory – Accessible for summer weddings, this little town is a working and renowned biological laboratory just outside Crested Butte that occasionally hosts weddings in the fall! With 360 degree views and close vicinity to Schofield pass, Emerald Lake and more, this makes a beautiful setting for a more rustic, adventurous couple.
Crested Butte Mountain Resort – The Mountain Resort is easily one of the most popular group of wedding venues in Crested Butte. Home to Uley’s Cabin, Butte 66 Roadhouse Bar & Grille, The Lodge at Mountaineer Square Ballroom, and Ten Peaks there are several diverse options within the resort! Whether you want the rustic feel with wildflower and mountain views of Uley’s Cabin and Ten Peaks’ Umbrella Bar, or the upscale fairytale Ballroom wedding to perfectly match your ballgown, they’ve got the venue for you.
Ten Peaks – I wanted to especially highlight Ten Peaks because it is easily one of my favorites! With stunning views at every angle, sitting just under the shadow of the Butte, and fields of wildflowers all around it offers so much variety and beauty for your wedding.
Woods Walk – This venue is protected by the Crested Butte Land Trust, surrounded by aspen trees, mountain wildflowers, towering peaks, creeks and rivers, and reflecting lakes. This one is perfect for nature lovers who care most about being surrounded by the majesty of all the things that make Colorado truly great!
I specialize in drinking chai tea lattes, and watching Gilmore Girls reruns! I also specialize in capturing the story & scenery of your celebration.
As a full service wedding photographer in Grand Junction, my mission is to preserve your favorite moments in beautiful images for you to relive those best moments of life that fly by too fast.
A Little About Me...
I believe there’s no better sight than the night sky at 10,000 feet.
I also believe you should be able to be authentically you on your wedding day. Whether that’s an off-beat elopement or more traditional wedding celebration, I strive to capture each genuine moment.
I strive to capture the day as it unfolds, all those candid moment to perfectly preserve what it felt like to be there. Too many photographers use their couples' wedding days as a portfolio building time, but you won't find that around here. I'm there for you - not for me!

-Allison & Ethan
Amanda is the perfect wedding photographer. She’s efficient, she gets absolutely all the shots you want and those you didn’t even know you want, and she just blended into our event perfectly. 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."
- Brittney & Brandon
Amanda was absolutely amazing! We traveled from out of state to do a destination engagement photoshoot and she made the planning experience stress free! She helped us each step of the way from the initial contact, to picking a location, picking a date for the perfect snow-covered mountain weather, to the actual photoshoot poses.
"She made the planning experience stress free!"
- 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. Plus all her recommendations for other local vendors were fantastic.
