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.

A Gorrono Ranch wedding gives you something pretty hard to manufacture: a setting that already has personality. Janelle and Dave wanted their August celebration to feel Western and elevated, pulling from Telluride’s summer landscape with soft yellow, white, and cream florals. Add black tuxedos, cowboy boots, sentimental family details, and eventually a shot ski, and […]
Rowan and Jake’s mountaintop wedding in Steamboat Springs felt very Colorado. Think bright blue skies, wildflowers, gondola rides, an entire mountain full of their favorite people, and two people who were more than ready to put their normally very driven lives on pause for a day. I actually met them before they ever inquired with […]
The first thing I noticed wasn’t the mountains. It wasn’t the river either. It was how absolutely comfortable everyone felt. Katie and Christian created the kind of wedding that reminds you what a celebration is actually supposed to feel like. If you’re searching for a Buena Vista wedding venue that naturally encourages your guests (and […]
The mountains had absolutely no interest in being subtle this day. Ten Peaks Crested Butte showed off with sweeping alpine views, soft summer greens, dramatic skies, and one of those sunsets that makes photographers silently weep tears of joy. Gracie and David’s wedding felt like a gathering of people who genuinely couldn’t wait to celebrate […]
The text that popped up on my phone asking if I’d photograph a Cabo San Lucas wedding wasn’t just another inquiry. It was from someone who had slowly become a real friend over the years. Misty and I first connected on social media while she was building her wedding-planning business in Grand Junction, Colorado. Before […]
It’s not every day that I’m contacted before a proposal even happens, but that’s exactly how this story begins. LaRose and Scott’s Vail Chapel wedding had one of the sweetest, most unexpected lead-ups. The groom’s mom reached out to me ahead of the big moment, already thinking steps ahead. Unfortunately, I wasn’t available to photograph […]
