High-Design Summer Wedding in Downtown Denver

I have become known for outdoor weddings with mountain landscapes - and don't get me wrong, that is my JAM.


But there is another (very large) part of me that LOVES a city. Civic architecture, public art, the angles and unique lighting. My husband is an architect who designs high-end residential projects in Boulder and in the past has worked on some incredible restaurant concepts in Denver. We have designed and built homes together. Our perfect dates are (1) hiking and a low-key picnic or brewery or (2) soaking in the ambiance at a high-end restaurant and taking in a comedy show or concert downtown. I love them equally! One thing to understand about me? The built environment fills me with wonder.


So getting the chance to capture a Labor Day Weekend wedding in the Maven Hotel, Dairy Block, and RiNo with Brittany and Chris set me up to absolutely thrive as a visual creative.


I loved their design choices, which were the perfect mix of high/low - such as Brittany's unique designer gown paired with Amazon shoes. Her cool girl aesthetic was unreal. I was melting over her floral gown with detachable sleeves and statement bouquet. Their whole photo album is a love letter to light and shadow, scene and emotion, playful and soulful interactions. I couldn't recommend each of their venues more highly, or their vendors! So if anyone wants to copy and paste this list of creatives, make it unique to their vision, and invite me to tell the story - I am 10000% in.
