Christies of Genesee Wedding | Evergreen Elegance with City Access

This could be you.

If you want a mountain wedding that feels peaceful, pine-scented, and close enough to home, Christies of Genesee delivers a perfect mix. Nestled at the foot of the Rockies just 20 minutes west of Denver, this venue blends forest ceremony backdrops with warm lodge interiors — ideal for couples seeking mountain atmosphere without mountain logistics.

As a Christies of Genesee wedding photographer, I love how the light filters through the trees, how the energy stays grounded, and how the entire day flows with a quiet kind of confidence.


Why Couples Love Christies of Genesee

This venue has hosted Colorado weddings for over 35 years — and it’s stood the test of time thanks to its location, flexibility, and staff.

Why it works:

  • Forested ceremony site with mountain light and privacy
  • Two-story lodge with vaulted ceilings and a cozy reception hall
  • Full-service wedding planning and in-house catering
  • Easy access for Denver guests without long drive times
  • Private, peaceful setting that feels like an escape

It’s especially great for couples who want Colorado nature without leaving cell service.

Why I Love Photographing at Christies

I’m Ben — the photographer behind Boxcar. I’ve worked all across the foothills, and Christies offers a sense of rhythm I really appreciate. It’s peaceful, private, and grounded — and that shows in the photos.

What I bring:

  • Experience with timeline planning around the light in the trees
  • Portrait locations both on-site and nearby in Genesee Park
  • Clean edits that enhance wood, sky, and emotion
  • A calm presence that lets couples feel like themselves

Best Seasons for Christies Weddings

  • Spring: Cool air and soft forest green
  • Summer: Peak outdoor beauty and long daylight
  • Fall: Amber tones and golden light — arguably the best time to be here
  • Winter: Indoor reception glow, mountain snow, and cozy lodge energy

It’s a solid year-round venue, but truly shines spring through fall.
