Camp Hale in Colorado is the perfect venue for couples looking to have a stunning mountain wedding. Located just 15 miles outside the popular ski town of Vail, Colorado, Camp Hale is a wedding venue in the ideal location. It’s close to a picturesque mountain village but also feels beautifully remote because the White River National Forest surrounds it.
One of the reasons Ashely and Chris chose to get married at Camp Hale is because Chris loves to fly fish. They even did a little fishing during cocktail hour, and caught a fish! He was super involved in choosing photo locations around the property, and he even had a fish flask he wanted to make sure to capture in their couple portraits. Typically, the bride is the one who is most excited about photo locations and wedding day details, but this time, it was the groom! Ashley and I kept joking that “It’s Chris’s day; we’re just living in it!”

Fun fact: “Camp Hale is the former training grounds for the 10th Mountain Army Division. After serving in World War II, these soldiers returned home and initiated the Colorado ski industry, including Vail Mountain. This rich and historic land offers an unforgettable setting for a mountain wedding like no other.”
You’re dreaming of timeless, effortless, documentary-style images that feel completely “undeniably-you”. You value refined details and curated experiences, but never at the expense of real moments.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’m Claire and you’ve just found your photographer. Knowing when to step in and step out, you’ll have all of the moments you wanted and those you didn’t even know you’d be hoping for.
Moments are constantly fleeting. That sounds depressing at first, but I don't mean it that way. More so, this reality gives me an incredible importance as a wedding photographer to capture the future memory within that moment as it truly happened. Isn't that a beautiful thing?
I'm not interested in photographing fabricated version of you or your day. I want to photograph the real stuff. The tears, laughs, and stolen glances... Your guests dressed to the nines and bringing the party on the dance floor. And mostly, the unplanned, undeniably-you moments during one of the biggest celebrations of your life.
If you're looking for a documentary-style photographer who appreciates all of the big and small moments, who will make your guests feel seen and known, and who truly cares about storytelling every moment that makes your day yours, you've found your match.
Here's the deal - I couldn't be more honored that you have seen something here that resonates with your soul. Are you wanting to take photos in the mountains? Your new home? The coast? I am available in Colorado and worldwide, no matter where your love takes you! I cannot wait to create undeniably-you photos together.
Most of my couples spend an average of $800-$1000 on sessions, whether that be for an engagement, just-because, bridal, or anniversary session. My goal is to be more than someone who shows up to snap photos. I'm there for you in every step of the planning process being more than just a photographer. Everything I do, I do with serving you in mind.
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LOVE.
