Weddings & Elopements in the Rockies
Your Love. Your Landscape. Told Beautifully.
Elevated Wedding Photography & Films Rooted in Emotion and Adventure
At Summit Photo and Film, we believe your wedding deserves more than just beautiful images—it deserves to be felt all over again. Based in Aspen, Colorado, we specialize in luxury weddings and elopements where connection and natural beauty take center stage.
Whether you’re saying your vows on a mountaintop or sharing an intimate first look in the forest, our work captures the real moments with intentional, cinematic storytelling. We’re here to reflect you—honestly, artfully, and with the kind of care that lets you fully be in the moment.
Photographers. Filmmakers. Adventure Partners. Memory Keepers.
We’re Dale and Carolina, the husband-and-wife team behind Summit Photo and Film. Rooted in Aspen and shaped by a shared love of mountains, travel, and storytelling, we create wedding photos and films that feel honest, elevated, and deeply personal.
Dale grew up in the Pacific Northwest and has traveled to over 80 countries, always chasing connection through his lens. Carolina, originally from the mountain town of Bariloche, Argentina, moved to Aspen in 2012 and found a second home in its wild beauty. We met, fell in love, and now spend our days capturing stories in the landscapes that inspire us.
Our approach is calm, intuitive, and experience-driven. We believe in letting moments unfold naturally while offering gentle guidance when needed. Whether we’re documenting a mountaintop elopement or a luxury wedding weekend, our goal is the same: to help you feel fully present—and to preserve those memories in a way that feels like you.

Real Words From Real Couples“Dale was absolutely amazing to work with! We were so lucky to find him for our wedding videographer! My husband and I were getting married in Aspen, but our videographer had to be very niche...they had to be able to ski with us down the mountain, and it was slim pickings on who could do that for us. When we got our video back it took our breath away and we've watched it 20+ times already! I'm so beyond grateful to have these memories captured on video!”
— Heather & Jason
“We could not be more pleased with the work that Dale did to capture every part of my son and daughter-in-law's wedding weekend. Not only did he capture all the special moments but he produced the most special films for us to have as lifetime keepsakes. Dale is so professional, easy to work with and easy to be around. Thank you!!”
— Anne P.

Albums & Prints
Tangible Memories. Designed With Intention.While your digital gallery gives you full rights to print your photos wherever you’d like, the truth is—not all prints are created equal. When you order through us, your images are produced using a professional lab we trust deeply. That means exact color accuracy, archival-quality materials, and craftsmanship designed to last for generations.
We offer a curated selection of fine art prints, wall pieces, and custom-designed heirloom albums that bring your memories to life in a way screens simply can’t. These aren’t just photos—they’re your story, told with elegance and intention, ready to be held, passed down, and proudly displayed.
If preserving your day in the most stunning, lasting way possible matters to you—we’ll help you do it beautifully.
