Ashcroft: End of Castle Creek Road
Step into Colorado's silver mining era at Ashcroft Ghost Town, nestled 11 miles up Castle Creek Road. This historic treasure tells the fascinating story of a once-bustling mining town that grew larger than Aspen itself, home to 2,500 residents during its peak.

Overall an exceptional experience with Maggie - she shot for my surprise proposal at the top of Aspen and an additional next-day photo shoot at Maroon Bells. She is wonderful to work with and very professional.
As a local in the area she definitely knows the best places to shoot and the photos came out beautiful.
I would recommend her to anyone.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR Shooting STYLE?
My style is people centered and emotionally driven. I lean toward capturing those sweet and unforgettable moments. The ones where your mom is giving you a tearful hug after putting on your veil, right before you walk down that aisle.
What's your editing style?
My style is vibrant, genuine, romantic, & timeless. And true to color - none of those super orange skin tones that look unnatural, or greens turned into grays. I love color and the liveliness shown throughout and want you to remember it as it actually was.
What's your posing style?
My “posing style” is giving you direction, because not everyone is a model! I will walk you through a series of actions, and then you do them while I capture those moments. It’s never stiff poses where you might look or feel awkward. It’s things you would normally do, but you might just be a little closer to each other than normal.
Frequently asked questions
What's your perspective on shooting a wedding day?
I want to make sure your big day is captured so well that you look back on your full gallery
thinking, “Wow, she was everywhere and I didn’t even realize it!” I get that statement in
reviews so often and am thankful knowing I did my job well and served my couples & their families in the best way possible.

Maggie and her team were so fun and fantastic to work with!! We love all our engagement and wedding pictures and can't stop looking at them over and over again! Maggie and Rachel have such amazing talent with a great eye for color, composition, and style. They both also had great attention to detail and listened to our concerns and what we wanted. They also made us feel comfortable with posing and was great with directions. We received our photos at lightning speed. I am so grateful and lucky that I have Maggie and Rachel as my photographers - they were always so patient, kind, and understanding with me. Please don't hesitate to hire Maggie and Rachel - I promise you won't be disappointed!
