Dale has become an essential part of how we tell our story at Challenge Aspen. Whether he’s capturing events, appeal videos, or marketing content, he has an incredible ability to make people feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen. The photos and videos he takes don’t just reflect what’s happening, but how it feels. You can really see the joy, courage, and connection at the heart of our work. Dale is a true professional and an even better person. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

I was just engaged in Aspen last week & had the absolute pleasure working with dale!!! He worked with my fiancé for months to ensure everything was PERFECT leading up to our engagement! I could not be happier with the outcome of the photos. He killed it. I would recommend him a million times over!! Not only the best photographer but also the BEST person! Thank you Dale!!

We recently engaged Summit Photo and Film to cover a significant corporate gastronomic event, and their work was truly outstanding. From initial consultation to final delivery, the team demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and artistic skill. ​The core challenge of a culinary event is capturing both the meticulous detail of the food and the dynamic energy of the guests—a balance Summit achieved perfectly. The resulting photography was stunning, showcasing the texture, color, and plating of every dish with magazine-quality clarity. The film deliverables were equally impressive, seamlessly capturing the atmosphere, the chef's process, and the genuine excitement of our attendees. The editing was crisp, professional, and perfectly aligned with our brand's desired tone. ​What stood out most was their working style. The Summit crew was incredibly discreet and non-intrusive, managing to document every key moment without disrupting the flow of the event or making guests feel observed. Their punctuality, preparation, and proactive communication made them an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. ​We highly recommend Summit Photo and Film for any company requiring premium visual content, especially within the food and hospitality sector. They delivered far more than just photos and videos; they delivered a powerful and lasting memory of our event. We look forward to working with them on future projects.

Dale is absolutely phenomenal! He captured every magical moment of our proposal with stunning artistry and incredible attention to detail. His ability to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera was amazing, allowing our genuine emotions to shine through in every shot. The photos turned out beyond our expectations — heart felt and beautifully composed. If you’re looking for someone to perfectly capture your special moments, Dale is the one. We couldn’t be happier and are endlessly grateful for his amazing work!

We could not have been happier with our experience with Summit Photo and Film for our engagement shoot. Dale was so wonderful and collaborative to work with, and is an incredibly talented photographer. He made sure to ask detailed questions to get our input on what exactly we wanted for the photos, but also led the shoot so expertly by directing us, encouraging us, and making us feel comfortable the whole time. We had so much fun taking these special photos, and they all turned out so beautifully. The photos are exactly what we wanted and we have already gotten countless compliments on them! Dale also edited and delivered our photos very promptly. Could not recommend Summit Photo and Film enough!!!
