About Us
Aspen Productions serves the world of production, and we do mean the world, so spin the globe and drop a pin!
Covering the full spectrum of print and motion content production for 20+ years, we specialize in all aspects of photography and video production for advertising, fashion brands, and editorial. We are known for our resourceful contacts, creative solutions, and scrupulous attention to budget. Blending our roots of urban production work ethic and mountain production know-how, we mind the details and manage global campaigns that capture a brand’s spirit of endurance and innovation while honoring our client’s vision.
Headquartered in Aspen, Atlanta, New York, San Francisco, and Hawaii, we take on projects from our doorstep to far-flung locations – all of which we carefully source and scout. From the streets of New York to the remote peaks of Aspen, from Hawaii to Europe, our expertise and adaptability have earned us the trust of leading brands, allowing us to fluidly produce anywhere we shoot.
Our priority is our clients’ appreciation of our results which inspires a deep commitment to excellence in every aspect of our work. We have an infectious enthusiasm for what we do & enjoy creating memorable experiences for our clients and crew. We are not just here for the moment; we are your dedicated, long-term partners committed to bringing your ideas to life in the most impactful ways.

Location Scouting / Managing
ALTHOUGH OUR NAME IS A TRIBUTE TO ONE OF COLORADO’S MOST VISITED SCENIC TOWNS, THE WORLD IS OUR LOCATION.
Aspen, Crested Butte, Denver, Telluride — we have covered the entire state of Colorado and beyond. Some of our most recent shoots have been in our neighboring state of Utah and others as far away as Alaska. Our database spans a spectrum of remarkable locations, ranging from those world-renowned for their beauty to those more remote and undiscovered.
Our city smarts mean we know what you expect on a short timeline, and our local understanding and connections mean we won’t steer you wrong in territory that is unfamiliar to you. Whether we are locking down NYC streets or weaving camera crews through uncharted territory, we guide you every step of the way.
Casting
We are adept at finding the right people from all walks of life, whether seasoned models, athletes, or real people. We present our clients with talent who will most effectively and memorably represent their brand.
Some of the clients we have recently cast for include: Apple, AT&T, Chevy, HOKA, Lands’ End, Macy’s, Stetson & Subaru
