The duo
behind summit
We’re Dale and Carolina, a husband-and-wife team based in Aspen. Dale brings years of global filmmaking and photography; Carolina brings intuition, warmth, and a gift for people. Together, we bring both adventure and elegance to the way we capture weddings.
Although weddings are our primary focus, we also photograph surprise proposals, executive retreats, nonprofit galas, portraits, and private celebrations throughout Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. No matter the occasion, our goal remains the same: creating imagery that feels timeless and genuinely personal.

janie - wedding planner
He has what I consider the perfect personality for videography. He is so amiable and respectful, which is really important when you're a room full of girls in their robes. And he is adaptable and a perfect complement to photo. He created such value and went truly above and beyond for the Bride & Groom and they were so happy.

Not only was he professional and attentive but also fun and full of energy. He has a few tricks up his sleeve that were unexpected and exactly right. We were so happy to have him be apart of our special day and we can only imagine where his talent will take him next.
