The cable-stayed bridge with a sleek design is the Millennium Bridge, commonly seen in Denver connected to Riverfront Park. The pedestrian bridge spans from lower downtown Denver (LoDo) to the Highlands neighborhood. It offers a modern outdoor backdrop to photos by connecting the popular 16th Street mall with Commons Park. In short, it combines many desrible Downtown Denver locations.

Urban settings mingle with nature at this lively location. We love this spot because there are so many elements to explore and use as backdrops in close proximity to each other. There are lots of nooks and crannies for the kiddos to explore and find a spot they want to be photographed in. Being located in Lodo, it is an accessible part of downtown that also offers a wide array of photo locations.
