Aspen Wedding Photographer
Betsi Ewing is an Aspen wedding photographer and videographer specializing in editorial, emotional coverage at the most iconic venues in the Roaring Fork Valley. Aspen is one of the most extraordinary places in the world to get married. The mountain light, the alpine landscape, the intimate scale of the town itself, everything about Aspen makes for a wedding day that feels unlike anywhere else.
My work is clean, bright, and emotional. I focus on real moments, quiet connection, and the kind of images that feel true to the day rather than staged for the camera. Whether your wedding is an intimate elopement on Aspen Mountain or a grand celebration at one of the valley's luxury resorts, I bring the same calm, intentional presence to every couple's day.
I also photograph weddings in Vail and across Colorado, as well as elopements in Aspen for couples who want an intimate experience in the mountains. We offer both photography and videography so you can have your full day covered by one team.
We also photograph and film weddings at Aspen Meadows, Hotel Jerome, private estates, and intimate elopement locations throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. If you have a venue in mind, we would love to hear about it. If you are exploring other Colorado locations, feel free to browse our Colorado wedding photography and Vail wedding photography pages for inspiration.
Wedding Photography in Aspen, Colorado
Aspen offers a rare combination of world class venues, dramatic natural scenery, and a refined mountain atmosphere that translates beautifully into photographs. I have worked across the full range of what Aspen has to offer, from sweeping mountaintop ceremonies to elegant resort celebrations, intimate elopements at Maroon Bells, and editorial shoots throughout downtown.
With deep familiarity across every season and setting in Aspen, I understand how the light moves throughout the day, how weather can shift quickly at altitude, and how to stay composed and present no matter what the mountain gives us. That experience is what allows me to capture your day with confidence, intention, and a creative eye that never feels forced.
Betsi Ewing Weddings offers both wedding photography and videography in Aspen, and many couples choose both for a complete record of their celebration. Our work has been featured in Rocky Mountain Bride Magazine.
Aspen Wedding Venues We Love
Aspen is home to some of the most iconic luxury wedding venues in the country. Below are the venues where we have the most experience, and where our work speaks for itself.
The Little Nell sits at the base of Aspen Mountain and offers twelve distinct event spaces, including the iconic Wedding Deck with panoramic mountain views. The Silver Queen Gondola ride to the summit is one of the most memorable experiences a wedding day can offer. This is a venue that rewards a photographer who knows it well.
The St. Regis Aspen is a perennial favorite for its stunning courtyard, candlelit interiors, and mountain backdrop. Our editorial shoot at the St. Regis was featured in Rocky Mountain Bride Magazine. Every season here is beautiful, and the surrounding Aspen landscape extends the possibilities even further.
Pine Creek Cookhouse is one of the most distinctive wedding venues in Colorado. Tucked into the Elk Mountains above Aspen in the Castle Creek Valley, it offers a setting that is rugged, romantic, and completely unlike anything else in the area. We have photographed and filmed weddings here and love everything about how the light and landscape come together at this venue.
Set at the gateway to the Maroon Bells, T Lazy 7 Ranch offers a breathtaking mountain backdrop with a warmth and authenticity that is hard to find at larger resort properties. We have filmed a wedding here and the setting is extraordinary.
Hotel Jerome is Aspen's original landmark hotel, dating to 1889. Its historic brick facade, candlelit interiors, and central downtown location make it a favorite for couples who want an iconic Aspen wedding with genuine old world character. I have photographed weddings throughout the property including the Grand Ballroom, the J-Bar, and the hotel's courtyard.
Beyond these venues, we also photograph and film weddings at Aspen Meadows, Hotel Jerome, private estates, and intimate elopement locations throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. If you have a venue in mind, we would love to hear about it.

Let's Plan Your Aspen Wedding
Working with Betsi Ewing Weddings means a calm, collaborative experience from the first inquiry to the final gallery delivery. I am not a photographer who directs your day or asks you to pose endlessly. My approach is to move through your wedding with intention, anticipating moments before they happen and stepping back when they do.
Before your wedding day, we connect to discuss timeline, venue flow, lighting, and any details that matter most to you. On the day itself, I arrive with a clear plan and the flexibility to adapt to whatever the mountain gives us. After your wedding, your full edited gallery is delivered within two weeks.
I book a limited number of weddings each year so that every couple receives my full attention. Aspen summer and fall dates fill quickly, often 12 to 18 months in advance. If you are considering a 2026 or 2027 Aspen wedding, now is a great time to reach out.
