Amazing Colorado Photography

RedBird Wedding Venue is the perfect rustic wedding spot in Colorado, offering couples an unforgettable blend of natural charm and modern amenities. With breathtaking views, sophisticated settings, and a plethora of activities, RedBird is more than just a wedding destination—it’s an experience.

Venue Highlights

RedBird is a true Colorado rustic gem — but what makes it stand out is the thoughtful way every space is designed to support your day. The bridal cottage is bright, calming, and perfect for those sweet getting-ready moments with your favorite people. Meanwhile, the groom’s yurt is the ultimate hangout spot, complete with yard games and room to relax before the festivities begin.

Out on the grounds, you’ll find two gorgeous arbor ceremony sites surrounded by towering pines and an open-valley feel that’s ideal for dreamy, sun-kissed portraits. And once the vows are said, everyone can head to the reception barn, where twinkle lights, warm wood textures, and plenty of room for dancing bring your entire celebration together. Everything feels effortless, cozy, and beautifully Colorado.

Unique Features

RedBird isn’t just a venue — it’s an experience thoughtfully curated for couples who want a wedding day that feels stress-free, personal, and full of heart.

Here’s what makes it truly special:

  • Two ceremony arbors, each with its own unique vibe and breathtaking scenery.
  • A private bridal cottage with a peaceful deck and the prettiest natural light.
  • A groom’s yurt that turns pre-ceremony nerves into a fun, relaxed hangout.
  • A flexible vendor policy, meaning you can choose any licensed and insured vendor you love (yes, even food trucks!).
  • A reception barn that blends rustic charm with modern ease — perfect for everything from dinner to dancing.

Every corner of this property was designed to help your day flow naturally, with no rushing, no crowding, and no unnecessary stress. Just you, your people, and a place that supports your dream day from start to finish.

Capacity and Layout

RedBird comfortably hosts up to 120 guests, making it ideal for intimate weddings, micro-weddings, and mid-size celebrations that still feel close-knit and intentional.

The layout is beautifully intuitive:

  • Outdoor ceremony spaces sit nestled between the trees with stunning open views.
  • Forest paths connect the bridal cottage, yurt, ceremony spots, and barn — which means your walk to the aisle is just as picturesque as the ceremony itself.
  • The reception barn offers a cozy indoor space with a built-in bar, plenty of room for dinner + dancing, and natural touches that look good in every lighting situation.

It’s the kind of layout photographers love because everything is close enough to keep your timeline smooth, but spread out enough to feel like a refreshing forest retreat.

Ceremony and Reception Options

RedBird gives couples tons of flexibility — which is perfect if you’re planning a day that feels true to you instead of sticking to a cookie-cutter schedule.

  • Outdoor ceremonies at either arbor give you sweeping views, forest charm, and soft natural light (a photographer’s dream!).
  • Indoor receptions in the barn offer a warm, rustic setting that fits beautifully with any décor style — boho, elegant, chic rustic, western, you name it.
  • Pre-ceremony moments become memorable thanks to the bridal cottage and the groom’s yurt, where everyone can relax, laugh, and settle into the day.

Want photos in the woods? A playful cocktail-hour with yard games? A glowing barn dance floor? RedBird makes all of it beautifully possible.

Packages and Pricing

RedBird doesn’t currently list detailed package pricing on their website, but what they do offer is a solid foundation for an amazing celebration. Your rental includes:

  • A ceremony arbor + chairs
  • A reception barn with indoor bar
  • Tables + chairs for up to 120 guests
  • The bridal cottage
  • The groom’s yurt
  • Forest paths + stunning grounds for portraits
  • Ample parking

Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding, a cozy micro-wedding, or a rustic-chic celebration with all your favorite people, RedBird gives you the freedom to design a day that feels effortless and authentically you.

Experience the Magic

RedBird has this beautiful ability to make your wedding feel grounded, peaceful, and full of heart.

I'm Amazing!

I’m a little… different. Think of me as the chaotic good of wedding photography—I thrive on creativity, spontaneity, and capturing love stories that break the mold. I’m a HUGE nerd and a hopeless romantic. 

Posing can feel as awkward as your first time waking up to, "oh it's you, you're finally awake." (Currently holding my breathe for the couples that know that reference!) I have been there! That’s why you deserve a photographer who gets it, who makes you feel comfortable, and who will have you laughing so hard you forget the camera is even there. (Seriously, I’m incredibly silly, and I’ll probably say something ridiculous just to get that real, genuine smile out of you.)

I live for the unfiltered, joy-filled, beautifully messy moments—whether it’s the emotion of your first dance, the bouquet toss, or the inside jokes that only you and your partner understand. Your wedding day should be as uniquely you as your fandoms, your inside jokes, and your love story.

Are you the kind of person who follows the rules just because? No? Then why have a wedding that does? Ditch the cookie-cutter and embrace your weird, wonderful, nerdy selves. Hire not just a photographer, but a fellow geek, an adventurer, and a storyteller who will capture your love story in all its epic, legendary, and meme-worthy glory.

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."

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
