Laura and Justin’s idyllic Blackstone Rivers Ranch wedding, just a stone’s throw from Downtown Denver, had all the elements of a magical wedding.
An Idaho Springs, CO Wedding Shoot
Idaho Springs, CO is a perfect stop off I-70. A walk around downtown shows many well-preserved historic buildings, as well as plenty of quality restaurants. In town, you can find the 125-year-old Argo Gold Mine and Mill and even try panning for gold! Not far from town, is a working mine, the Phoenix Gold Mine. There you can learn about modern and historical mining techniques.
As with Argo, at Phoenix Gold Mine you can do a little gold panning yourself! While you’re there, enjoy the hot mineral waters of the springs after which the town is named. The Indian Springs Resort offers overnight accommodations, or visit the geothermal springs and caves for a fitting cap to your day.
Idaho Springs is a wonderland of aspen and evergreen trees that provide an ideal backdrop to any memorable event. It is not often you find a locale that rivals the beauty and remote-feel of Idaho Springs, while maintaining its accessibility. Located just 40 minutes from Denver, make Idaho Springs your next wedding destination!
We would like to give a big thank you and big congratulations to Laura and Justin. This breathtaking venue allowed for a perfect showcase of love.
