Natural Beauty: The venue is surrounded by lush woods and stunning mountain views! It’s an absolutely beautiful setting for your ceremony, reception and all the wedding portraits!
The Lookout Mountain Nearby: Located just minutes from Denver, this venue is easily accessible for both local and out-of-town guests. Plus, with Lookout Mountain just 20 minutes away, you have the perfect spot for a breathtaking engagement session close by. I’ve spent countless hours at Lookout Mountain, soaking in the views and finding peace, so it’s a place close to my heart.

Ceremony and Reception Options
The venue has several gorgeous spots for your special moments, from their picturesque outdoor ceremony space with stunning mountain views to a cozy indoor option that’s perfect for any weather.
And don’t forget the woodsy area right behind the venue – it’s an easy spot to sneak away for some dreamy bridal party and couple’s portraits. Bobby and Sarah’s bridal party photos here were some of the most fun and lively I’ve ever captured!
Packages and Pricing
They are an all inclusive wedding venue, so their packages include services like, catering, bar service, and event coordination, making it easier for you to focus on the fun parts of planning. One thing I love about this venue is how cost-efficient it is, especially given the level of service and the stunning location.
And here’s a fun fact: all of my wedding packages include an engagement session, so you’ll have the chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. I am happy to help plan & pick the perfect Engagement location for your love story! You can choose a location that’s meaningful to you like Bobby and Sarah did with Union Station, the place where they met and share countless memories together. Or you can also just choose a location for the the breathtaking views like Kiwi and Spencer did with Lookout Mountain. (The views here are incredible and super close to the Venue!!) Whatever you envision your Engagement session to look like, I am here for it!

Planning Your Christies of Genesee Wedding
Planning your wedding at Christies of Genesee is a breeze, thanks to the supportive and experienced team at the venue. They offer a variety of planning resources and recommendations to help you create the wedding of your dreams. Plus, with monthly tastings, you’ll have the chance to sample the menu and choose the perfect dishes for your celebration.
If you’re looking for inspiration, Kiwi and Spencer’s wedding had a fun, unique twist with a piñata for a cake – how cool is that? Meanwhile, Bobby and Sarah went all out with a nerdy theme, complete with a Hobbit cake and DND-themed tables. One of Bobby’s best dance moves was rolling the die his best man gave him. These personal touches are what make each wedding so special!

5 Star Review from Sarah & Bobby
“My husband and I are so pleased with our wedding pictures! Amazing, the business owner, also did our engagement photoshoot as part of our wedding package, which gave a us a chance to get to get to know each other before our big day. Such an awesome idea. We were so excited to see her on our wedding day! Amazing is funny, sharp, kind and professional in the best way. She was exactly what I needed as a bride – someone skilled and experienced who I completely trusted to tell us what to do, when I was too giddy and excited to tell people where to stand for which photos. We highly recommend Amazing to all couples looking for a Colorado wedding/elopement photographer.”

5 Star Review from Kiwi & Spencer
“Booked Amazing to do our engagement photos and our wedding on July 29th, 2023. She definitely lives up to her name when it comes to photography. Our photos from the engagement session turned out beautifully and the few preview shots from the wedding were stunning! We are so eager and cannot wait to see the rest of our photo album!”

I'm Amazing!
I have always loved love - I’m a hopeless romantic and guaranteed to cry at least once at every wedding. Getting to watch people find their soulmate brings me the most joy and is hands down the best part of my job. My goal for every session is to create a fun atmosphere with a romantic, creative, and authentic vibe not only for your photos, but for the experience itself.
I live for the emotional, candid moments – the closeness of a first dance, a child dancing with their parents, the first time you see your person walking down the aisle, all of it! I understand how important this day is and the immense trust you place in your photographer which is why I am dedicated to not only capturing every magical moment, but ensuring that your wedding day is as beautiful, stress-free, and joy-filled as possible.
Testimonials
"Amazing is just that, amazing! It was overwhelming to find the right photographer for our engagement session and wedding, but I’m so glad we found her! At the time, my husband and I were living overseas but Amazing kept constant communication with us even with the 8 hour time difference. When we finally got to meet her in person she was so sweet and made both us feel comfortable right away. When we got back our photos from the engagement session, we knew we made the right choice! On the day of the wedding, Amazing and her team were on time, professional, and we’re able to get the shots they needed even with our large bridal party. Our photos are absolutely perfect and we couldn’t be happier. I will always recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a photographer and I hope we can use her again for more photos in the future! Thank you Amazing."

"Amazing took our engagement photos and then our wedding photos about a year later. We couldn't be more thrilled with the results! Her work is truly an art form and it's so clear to see how much she loves her career. I chose Amazing over other photographers based on her vibes alone! Her personality is everything you could want in a wedding photographer. She's professional, but without being stuffy. She knows how to have fun, she's friendly, and easy to socialize with. She's trustworthy and reliable as she was always on time. She captured all the joy and beauty of our wedding day and we will cherish our pictures forever!"

Testimonials
"There are not enough stars I could give, or positive words I could say. Amazing was an exceptional photographer for our wedding. She helped make the day as stress free as possible. She worked seamlessly with our coordinator to capture all the best moments. The weather was uncooperative for the entire day, but that didn’t slow her down, she rolled with it. She was out in the rain with my husband and I doing our first look, and then capturing some of the most beautiful before pics. She somehow managed to be both easy going and direct. She had great communication leading up to and during the wedding day. Honestly, if she lived near me I would have Amazing take all of my professional photos! Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect!"
-Samantha
