The Most Photographed Mountains in North America
Aspen & Maroon Bells
Photographs of the Bells are everywhere. Films that do them justice are rare.
I'm Rees Gibbons, a Colorado-born wedding videographer bringing mountain couples the same cinematic approach I use across the San Juans.
From mid-June through early October, Maroon Creek Road closes to private cars during the day — access is by shuttle or pre-dawn arrival, and ceremony permits specify exact sites and group sizes. This is exactly the kind of logistics I handle.

The logistics nobody warns you about
Sunrise, without question. The Bells face east, the lake is glass at dawn, and the crowds arrive with the shuttles. That footage is worth every alarm clock.
