Upper Larimer Wedding | Elevated Industrial Style in Denver’s River North Arts District

A bride and groom stand close together outdoors on a dirt path at UPPER LARIMER Wedding Venue, holding a bouquet, with mountains and trees in the background.

This could be you.

If you want a venue that blends architectural charm, industrial warmth, and a curated event experience — Upper Larimer hits the sweet spot. Located in the vibrant RiNo neighborhood, this modern Denver venue offers exposed brick, clean design, and a layout that flows from ceremony to celebration.

As an Upper Larimer wedding photographer, I love how this space balances mood and movement. It’s stylish without being cold, and flexible without feeling blank. It’s an ideal venue for couples who want to build something personal with professional support baked in.


Why Couples Love Upper Larimer

Opened in 2022, Upper Larimer is one of Denver’s newest wedding venues — and it’s quickly become a favorite for its visual tone and full-service approach.

Why it works:

  • Historic charm meets modern event design
  • Clean ceremony and reception flow with open vendor flexibility

Why I Love Photographing Here

I’m Ben — founder of Boxcar Photography. I’ve photographed weddings across hundreds of venues, and what I appreciate most about Upper Larimer is the intentionality. Everything was built for real weddings — not just styled shoots.

What I bring:

  • Experience with industrial-style venues and their pacing
  • Natural editing that complements brick, wood, and ambient light
  • Timeline planning to balance portraits, light shifts, and space transitions
  • Candid coverage with relaxed, confident direction when needed

Best Seasons for an Upper Larimer Wedding

As an indoor venue with outdoor flexibility, Upper Larimer is excellent year-round:

  • Spring/Fall: Best for light and guest comfort inside and out
  • Summer: Strong AC indoors and shaded patio outdoors
  • Winter: Elegant interiors that feel rich, warm, and timeless

This is a weather-proof venue that photographs beautifully in every season.
