“When we started planning our wedding, I didn’t really know what I wanted our wedding day to look like. Instead, I had an idea of how I wanted it to feel – I wanted the day to be romantic, peaceful, intimate, and even a little whimsical. I wanted to be surrounded by the mountains, and I knew more than anything, I wanted to create a day that Andrew and I would truly have time to take in and remember for the rest of our lives. It took exactly one meeting with Dave and Shanna to know they were the right people to help bring my very conceptual idea to life. Throughout the entire process, they were both so helpful, and I think our photos and video speak for themselves in regard to how gifted these two are. Dave and Shanna, thank you both SO much for your time, your talent, your friendship, and for giving us these beautiful memories that we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.”

“I searched for weeks for the perfect photographer for us in Colorado. There are many but I fortunately stumbled upon Summit mountain weddings. I was immediately drawn to their art. I knew they were it. Every single picture told a story. Shanna and Dave photographed/videoed our engagement session and then our wedding. Their personalities are amazing. Very genuine, sweet and just real as it gets type of people. The entire process was easy breezy and they customized what we wanted to do with no problems. Working with them was a dream and they turned our big special day into one to remember for a lifetime. I’m so happy I found them. ❤️ My husband and I made lifetime friends and we are forever grateful!”

“Shanna with Summit Mountain Weddings was the sweetest, caring, most professional and fun photographer to work with. My wedding was absolutely perfect from the beginning to absolute end. I would not have traded anything about our day. She listened to our all our wants and was very creative with everything. She is a lady not afraid to get a little dirty to get just the right angle! Summit Mountain Weddings did an amazing job scouting out the best places to make our day all that we could have asked for and more. There is no one else I would rather choose if I were planning a wedding or elopement than Summit Mountain Weddings. I truly could never thank them enough for every bit of our wedding. Even the planning was stress free and they were so kind and flexible the entire time. You all are seriously the absolute best around and We were fortunate enough to get the opportunity for you all to make our dreams a reality. Thank you so much Summit Mountain Weddings I am excited to show off your work for decades to come!!!”

“We instantly felt like we were best friends with Dave and Shanna! We felt comfortable and genuinely laughed through the whole shoot! From awkward nuzzling and making out on camera to running through the forest and popping champagne, we had so much fun! They couldn’t have picked a better location either! Shanna styled us from head to two and as you can see, she nailed it! That hat though…UH-MAZ-ING! It’s obvious from these photos that she’s a natural behind the camera! These are some of our best photos together and we know who will be photographing all of our future life events!”

“From the moment we contacted Shanna and Dave about an elopement, they were incredibly helpful! They made planning a wedding in the craziness of 2020 super easy. The day of our ceremony was so special, thanks to the recommendations they provided. They know so many amazing spots in Colorado for peaceful little ceremonies. We got our pictures back a few weeks after the ceremony and they turned out amazing! Shanna really knows how to get perfect candid shots, and was very helpful when it came to natural posing. Thank you Shanna and Dave, for making our day fun, special and completely stress-free! ”

“Working with Shanna for our engagement shoot was amazing! She made it feel so natural and fun. The location was exactly what we were looking for and the photos turned out better than we could have imagined! My family even commented on how the photos felt very authentic to us as a couple. THANK YOU again for making my winter wonderland dreams come true for our session! The photos turned out so amazing!”

“All the planning and spending and marking things off of some arbitrary checklist just didn’t appeal to us at all, so we decided to elope! We also didn’t want a long engagement and we wanted something low key. This was the perfect compromise. We could get our immediate families - only 10 of us total - together on short notice, and what’s more low key than an intimate ceremony on the side of a mountain! With the help of Summit Mountain Weddings, there was essentially zero planning. We basically had to show up. My brother marrying us and being part of the ceremony was awesome, and he absolutely crushed it, so that was icing on the cake.”

“From start to finish Summit Mountain Weddings was WONDERFUL to work with. Shanna’s easy-going, flexible nature, and joyful presence made her a delight to work with. She and Dave made the whole experience stress free- even when we had to change locations due to an unexpected snowfall & the time due to a predicted 90% chance of rain at our original time. Shanna found such gorgeous spots at our new location to take photos, and was so great at telling us how to pose in ways that didn’t look unnatural/awkward. Her candid shots are incredible and she really captured the love and pure joy of the day. Dave did an incredible job videoing our ceremony- shooting from different angles & getting clips of each of us as we spoke. Their edits are FANTASTIC, and we had a nice mixture of photos in our gallery. Cole & I can’t thank you two enough for capturing our big day so perfectly.”

“5/5 stars. We are so grateful to have found Summit Mountain Weddings! Between coordinating everything from flowers to location and timeline, to providing ideas and guidance, Shanna really took all the stress away from planning a wedding. We were able to create the wedding of our dreams even during a pandemic! We truly cannot recommend this company or these people enough! Our pictures and video are just stunning – I can’t tell you how many compliments we get on them. It is obvious how talented Shanna is behind the lens. Overall we had an incredible experience, and truly would not change a thing. If you are thinking about eloping and looking for elopement packages in Colorado, look no further – these are your people!!”

“Shanna and Dave were absolutely amazing during the whole planning process of our wedding from start to finish. The planning process was so stress free which is amazing considering 2020 circumstances and planning a wedding out of state. We loved that they were always responsive and readily available to help answer any questions or concerns that we had. Our wedding day went seamlessly and I can’t help but believe that it was Shanna and Dave made our day go perfectly without any hiccups. Our pictures have turned out phenomenal and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, it was like we were just hanging out with our friends that we’ve known for forever. Thank you Shanna and Dave for everything. We can’t thank you enough!”
