Have you even experienced Colorado wildflower season if you’ve not yet been to Crested Butte?

Look, obviously as locals to the Breckenridge area, we’re biased that this is an incredible part of our state & it’s not lost on us how fortunate we are to live here.

BUT. But – have y’all been to Crested Butte? WOW.

Jenna & Zane hosted a quintessential Colorado summer wedding for their closest friends & family. We had the honor of working with Ciera & Kaitlyn of Lucky Penny Events, who worked to flawlessly execute J+Z’s romantic & organic vision at the breathtaking Ten Peaks in Crested Butte, CO. Maddie, of Summit County’s Lady Sunshine Floral knocked the floral design out of the park! We loved the reception tent ceiling install, the floral wall, the centerpiece designs, and certainly not least of all Jenna’s gorgeous ombre bouquet. It all just screamed sweet summertime.

We absolutely loved working with this dream vendor team to make J+Z’s colorful wildflower wedding in Crested Butte a success. What a dreamy dream-come-true job this is.

This is what Jenna & Zane had to say about their wedding day experience with us!

Shanna and Dave are the very best! They are kind and easy to be around which is a major plus on a big life day! They were open to my vision of our wedding photos while lending their expertise. They are also just incredibly talented! The photos that I have from our engagement and wedding (so far) are the most beautiful photos I have ever had taken. They exemplify our love so obviously. We are so thankful we chose them for our big day!

Jenna & Zane

What an amazing wildflower wedding! Hope y’all love J+Z’s gorgeous, colorful Crested Butte wedding day. We sure do.

Meet the Owners of Quartzville Cabin in Alma, CO


If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful cabin for your next mountain adventure, look no further than Quartzville Cabin in Alma, CO.


Quartzville Cabin Alma, CO | Basecamp Visual

Everyone! Meet the Shapiro Family, the owners of Quartzville Cabin in Alma, CO.

Really freaking cool people both live in & invest in the rural mountains of Park & Summit Counties. We’ve met so many like-minded families since we officially moved to the Fairplay/Alma, CO area 5 years ago – both local full-timers like us & those who choose to invest in this beautiful area with second homes. We love it here & it’s clear that so many of you do, too.

Melissa & Matt, who own the beautiful Quartzville Cabin in Alma, CO, are some of the kindest people you could meet.

We’ve loved first connecting with them as they renovated their cabin & we were deep in the throes of building our own house. They allowed us to stay for a weekend, which was a VERY welcomed reprieve from living in our camper. They’ve created such a beautiful home away from home – for themselves & their guests alike. Quartzville Cabin in Alma, CO is absolutely one of my favorite local cabins – and it’s in large part because of the amazing people who own it.

This session with the Shapiro Family was a year ago already, so these kiddos are probably all a foot taller – but what remains is the love & the why: documenting connection with your favorite people in your favorite places. The places that are and feel like home.

Golden Fall Family Photoshoot in Fairplay, CO


We so loved sharing this beautiful Aspen-filled spot with the Johnstons for their family photoshoot in Fairplay, CO this fall!


family photoshoot in Fairplay, CO by Basecamp Visual

Fall is the perfect time of year for a family photoshoot in Fairplay!

We so often say that there is something so special about our corner of the mountains. If you’re not familiar – Fairplay, CO is located in Park County, just south of the Continental Divide at Hoosier Pass. We’re only 30+ minutes from Breckenridge, but it (for better!) feels like a completely different world.

It’s quiet here. Slow. Vast. The views are plentiful & the pace is easy.

We couldn’t love it more.

The Johnston family connected with us via our friends Julie & Sean, who’s engagement session you can see here! They wanted a short & sweet, beautiful session – so that’s just what we did. I love how their family photoshoot in Fairplay turned out, and I’m so thrilled to share them here!

It’s truly such an honor to capture these fleeting family moments. Don’t sleep on doing family photos, friends. They’re worth it.

Lauren & Jeff’s Hoosier Pass Elopement near Breckenridge


We cannot say enough amazing things about Lauren & Jeff & their gorgeous Hoosier Pass elopement near Breckenridge. It was, truly, a DREAM come true.


Hoosier Pass Elopement, Basecamp Visual

There’s something so special about each & every one of our couples who choose to elopement here in the mountains. Lauren & Jeff were certainly and exactly that. We connected with them immediately as they shared stories about their blended families – 5 daughters between the two of them, how amazing! They wanted to spend a long weekend away in Colorado to get married, and when they inquired Lauren shared that they just “wanted to get married as soon as possible!” So, that’s exactly what we did, and they were married just 3 weeks later in this gorgeous Hoosier Pass elopement!

We hit up some of our favorite local spots!

The most adorable cabin in Blue River for their getting ready with the Mountain Glo team there for Lauren’s hair & makeup. Then we made a spur of the moment decision to hit up a local’s favorite – Myla Rose Saloon – for a drink before their ceremony! It’s the cutest A-frame with gorgeous views of Quandary Peak, and right off HWY 9, too, so it’s super easy to get to! Finally, we made it to our planned location & they had the most amazing Hoosier Pass elopement.

Is it even a Breckenridge elopement without the amazing Phil Gallagher officiating?

We always say – Phil is the ultimate champion for marriage. He’s not just their for your wedding day, he’s there to celebrate you marriage. This is one our favorite things about working with him! Here’s another favorite Breckenridge wedding ceremony officiated by him!

Such a meaningful, intentional day with Lauren & Jeff. We hope you love their Hoosier Pass elopement!

Love this Hoosier Pass elopement as much as we do? Here’s another – covered in snow!

Email responses LIKE THIS make this job feel so incredible:

Life is crazy and we have wanted to give you the WOW! You brought us both to tears in your photos and your video. The way that you both captured the day is something that we will never be able to say thank you enough for! WOW! just WOW! We adore y’all!

John & Sara’s Mountaintop Keystone Resorts Proposal


We are OBSESSED with this Keystone Resorts Proposal. John pulled off the most thoughtful & intentional proposal to Sara. It was so beautiful!


keystone resorts proposal

We always say there is no Summit County view like up on Keystone Mountain.

When John first reached out about his planned Keystone Resorts proposal to Sara, I was so thrilled! You may remember our mountain meadow proposal – see it here – which was planned in full by Tierney as a pretend “we won a free photoshoot!” With John & Sara’s proposal, we had to coordinate exact locations & I had to be sneaky, hiding my cameras until the perfect moment.

My nerves were all over the place! Here’s an Instagram reel I made sharing the BTS from that day.

John planned & executed his proposal to Sara flawlessly. He visited the mountain earlier in the month to scout the perfect location – Plan A & Plan B. During his visit, he made friends with the Keystone Resorts employees – so much so that they knew to watch for him & brought out complementary champagne after Sara said YES! He made dinner reservations, booked lodging, and even brought a handful of varying designs of press-on nails so Sara had beautiful nails for their photos. So much thought & intention – it was such an honor to be a small part of their story.

Endless joy. This day was so much fun!

John had the kindest words to share about working together to plan his big moment! Thank you, John!

Shanna did such an outstanding job with my surprise proposal to my girlfriend at Keystone! She was an incredible communicator, planner, and most important photographer! They photos turned out amazing and all of our friends and family were so impressed by them.

We also loved her direction when we took photos after the initial engagement – she was really good at picking out spots and guiding us into poses that looked really nice on camera.

You would be lucky to work with her!
