The Little Nell, A Luxury Aspen Wedding Venue

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing many mountain weddings in Colorado and The Little Nell is by far my favorite wedding venue in the mountain west. Nestled at the base of Aspen Mountain, The Little Nell is one of Colorado’s most exclusive luxury wedding venues. The Little Nell is known for its breathtaking mountain views, five-star service, and exclusive event spaces, the location offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable destination mountain wedding.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic alpine ceremony with stunning mountain views or a stylish reception under the stars, The Little Nell offers an incredible experience for couples who want a wedding that blends nature, mountain-chic, and world-class hospitality. 

The Little Nell has twelve different wedding locations on site to choose from. My personal favorites are The Little Nell Wedding Deck, Wedding Overlook, ASPENX Mountain Club, and the Sundeck. The photos from this stunning wedding were all taken at The Little Nell Wedding Deck which sits 11,212 feet high and is surrounded by panoramic mountain views.

Little Nell Gondola Ride

One of my favorite parts of the day is taking the Silver Queen Gondola up to the top of Aspen Mountain! This is a super fun opportunity for photos along the way. You and your guests will take a 2.5 mile ride up Aspen Mountain (which takes around 15 minutes) and puts you exactly 11,212 feet above sea level.

The gondola ride is a chance to slow down and soak in the stunning mountain views on the way up. This is one of the most unique ways for you and your wedding guests to arrive to your wedding! The Little Nell is a beautiful wedding venue for all four seasons.

As a Colorado wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing the magic of The Little Nell’s stunning scenery and the real moments unfolding through your special day. I know how to use the natural light, breathtaking mountain views, and mountain-chic details to create images that are beautiful, meaningful, and memorable. Our style is clean, bright and emotional with relaxed elegance and an editorial appeal. 

Little Nell Wedding Story

Jeff and Zoe met in 2019 while she was attending a workshop where Jeff was the facilitator. There was an initial spark that both couldn't shake - and for months they messaged each other on Slack in a group created from the weekend retreat. Zoe finally drummed up the courage to ask him out the next time they were both in the same city. On their first date in NYC they went to a cute old-school restaurant in the West Village, Minetta Tavern, stayed out all night to a classic New York way, and the rest was history! They started seeing each other long distance between San Francisco (where the groom was) and Denver, where the bride was based. Fast forward to the beginning of the pandemic and the two found themselves as overnight roommates. One thing led to another, and they decided to embrace the nomadic lifestyle early into 2020, with their first stop being the Roaring Fork Valley, Old Snowmass to be exact. They fell in love with this part of Colorado, as did their Bernese Mountain Dog, Miles. Although they traveled thousands of miles across the country in the last two years, Snowmass and Aspen always had their heart. When Jeff popped the question, and they began brainstorming their wedding vision, Aspen kept coming up. Their stunning Little Nell Aspen wedding was planned by Julian Leaver, and photographed by Betsi Ewing Weddings. This stunning wedding was also Featured on Rocky Mountain Bride!
