Reasons To Hire An Aspen Local As Your Photographer | Aspen, Colorado

Are you planning a wedding or portrait session in Aspen? Hiring an Aspen local photographer can make all the difference in capturing the perfect moments against the breathtaking Rocky Mountain backdrop. As Aspen local photographers, we bring a unique set of skills and knowledge that can elevate your photography experience. From understanding the nuances of mountain lighting to navigating the area’s unpredictable weather, here are the reasons why choosing an Aspen local behind the lens is your best decision for unforgettable Aspen photographs.

Sunset

We know the best times around the sun. Because of the mountains like AJAX Mountain (Aspen Mountain), it sets 30 minutes earlier on one side of town compared to the other. Then right outside of town, it lasts 30minutes+ longer!

Weather

The weather in Aspen can change in an instant, if we need to move the session time at all, we can! If there’s inclement weather due to snow, the one highway in/out can shut down for hours, sometimes days. Flights are often directed to other airports and the airport can also close for days due to heavy snow. Keep in mind, it can snow any time of year, typically from September until mid-May!

Secret spots

We know the hidden gems like no other, and the ways around Maroon Bells, the top of aspen mountain, and more! There are restrictions we need to abide by, so having someone who knows what you can and can’t do is huge. No one wants to get kicked out of a park! We live here, hike here, and explore nearly every day and can take you along with us if you’re up for an adventure.

Vendor Relationships

We have relationships with many vendors in the valley on speed dial in case we need to help you with a plan B.

Season Pass

Most of us have a full ski pass for summer and winter and we can go up the mountain anytime! We can save you the $50+ for going up.

Flexible Bookings

Available for last-minute bookings, based on schedule.

Support Local

When you support our small business, you are supporting the community that you love enough to have your wedding or portraits in.
