Beano’s Cabin Wedding | Beaver Creek, Colorado
Tucked away in the mountains of Beaver Creek, Beano’s Cabin feels like a hidden gem—if that gem had floor-to-ceiling windows, a cozy lodge vibe, and some of the best mountain views in Colorado. It has just the right balance of rustic and refined, making it perfect for couples who want a laid-back but seriously stunning wedding location.
Elisabeth and Ritter’s wedding came to me through a planner referral. Between the insane views, the thoughtfully designed details, and the welcoming atmosphere, everything about this wedding worked. It was warm, stylish, and effortless—exactly how a mountain wedding should be. If you’ve ever pictured yourself getting married somewhere with mountains in every direction and a venue that feels like a retreat, you’ll love this one.
Beano’s Cabin: A Dream Colorado Wedding Venue
If a cozy mountain retreat and an upscale wedding venue had a baby, it would be Beano’s Cabin. This place nails that elusive mix of laid-back and luxurious. Picture massive log beams, antler chandeliers, and cozy fireplaces—all wrapped up in a space that still feels open, airy, and undeniably elegant.
But let’s be honest, the real showstopper here is the views. Rolling meadows, aspen groves, and mountains stretching for miles feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. They host weddings of up to 150 guests here from June to September, with some winter availability. This time frame is perfect for wildflowers or Colorado’s fall foliage. Beano’s Cabin is a dream for couples who want to be surrounded by stunning nature without sacrificing style.

Ceremony, Couple’s Portraits, & Reception in the Mountains
Elisabeth and Ritter’s ceremony at Beano’s Cabin was a dream. Lush, wildflower-inspired florals framed the altar, blending seamlessly with the landscape. Elisabeth’s walk down the aisle was magic.
Mountain weddings have a way of making portraits feel extra cinematic, and this was no exception. We wandered through open meadows and aspen groves, letting the landscape do its thing while Elisabeth and Ritter looked elegant in the golden light. And can we get a round of applause for her bouquet?
Inside Beano’s Cabin, warm candlelight, antler chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows set the tone for their stylish reception. Tables dressed in neutral linens and soft florals created a sleek vibe, perfect for a night of good food, toasts, and a packed dance floor. Elisabeth switched into the cutest blue sequin dress for the reception. The night was cozy, elevated, and unforgettable.

MY PHILOSOPHY
An Honest Wedding Experience
“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still”
Words I Live by
I'm WHITNEY.
Your wedding day is a story—one filled with fleeting moments of beauty, deep emotion, and once-in-a-lifetime memories. As an artist, I am here to preserve those moments with intention, artistry, and care. I don’t just capture what your wedding looked like—I document how it felt.
Born and raised in the breathtaking landscapes of Vail, Colorado, I am deeply inspired by the way love and nature intertwine. There’s something poetic about the way light moves across mountain peaks, the way wind dances through a bride’s veil, and how the beauty of the outdoors mirrors the intimacy of a wedding day. My work is shaped by this connection—an effortless blend of refined editorial imagery and documentary storytelling, allowing each wedding to unfold naturally while being captured with timeless elegance.
Beyond photography, I am an adventurer at heart. Whether I’m exploring new landscapes, hiking through the Rockies, or traveling to breathtaking destinations, my love for movement and exploration brings an effortless, natural feel to my imagery. Every love story is unique, and I am deeply invested in capturing the emotions, scenery, and in-between moments that make your wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we connect, my goal is to provide an effortless, elevated experience that allows you to be fully present while I handle the art of storytelling. With a calm, intuitive approach, I blend artistic direction with documentary storytelling—guiding you when needed while allowing your most authentic moments to unfold naturally. My couples value timeless, emotive imagery, a refined yet relaxed presence, and the confidence of knowing their memories are being preserved with intention. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me skiing down the slopes, hiking with my husband and our two border collies, or enjoying a slow morning with a perfectly crafted latte. I live for meaningful conversations, spontaneous adventures, and capturing beauty in the quiet, in-between moments of life—just as I do with my couples. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to provide an intimate, high-touch experience, ensuring each love story is captured with the highest level of artistry and care. If you feel drawn to timeless, emotional, and editorial-inspired imagery, I would love to hear your vision and create something extraordinary together.
