Mollie Gibson Park
It is one of Aspen’s hidden gems — a peaceful spot at the base of Smuggler Mountain where you can soak in sweeping views of Aspen Mountain and the Roaring Fork Valley.
It’s a favorite for locals and visitors alike — a quiet space that feels relaxed and welcoming, yet delivers some of the most breathtaking backdrops in town.

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

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.
