Reasons to love
The Oaks

The staff at The staff Oaks is truly incredible. They're always willing to lend a helping hand and go the extra mile to help out other vendors. Their attention to detail is unmatched. We've worked closely with them for many years, so we have a relationship and consider it a dream team when we all come together.

The outdoor light is bright and beautiful. We like to start taking photos near the entrance of the venue because it provides a beautiful glow and some good shade. Once the golden hour hits we head to the west side of the venue for some glowy sunset photos.

From the moody light in the speakeasy, golf simulator room, and the Oaks Room to the pristine and flawless white light in the bridal suite and ballroom, everyone will be impressed. The combination of natural light from the large windows and the white paint on the walls make a beautiful, soft atmosphere that helps bring out the best in skin tones.

This is the perfect place for a groom and his guys to get ready in. The dapper style of the bathroom mirrors makes for a great spot for the guys to take photos of the final touches of getting ready. The best thing about this spot is there is a full golf simulator! What?!? Amazing!

We can honestly say we have never been in a bridal suite so incredible. The hanging bed, multiple couches to relax on, lots of mirrors to get ready and a deck space that is perfect for photos. Nothing rivals this bridal suite. The amazingness of this room speaks for itself.

The Back Lawn

The back lawn is a perfect place to tie the knot. Depending on the time of day and time of year, you will have lush oak trees providing shade or the sun will be perfectly popping through when you say "I do."

The Golden Sunsets

One of our favorite things about The Oaks is the golden hour.

The sunsets at The Oaks are one of the best parts of this already incredible venue. There is nothing like the views over Castle Rock, Sedalia and the front range of Colorado. 
 There are unobstructed views of the mountains with the most golden, beautiful sunsets. We always recommend planning time for sunset photos.

Your Reception 

YOUR WEDDING RECEPTION
The Oaks won't only give you a beautiful wedding day, but it's the perfect venue to keep the party going all night long.

THE BALLROOM
The perfect spot for dinner and toasts. We love capturing all the details put into making this room look incredible during your cocktail hour.

THE OAKS ROOM
Once it's time to really start the party, everyone heads to this room. The blue walls and tall ceilings make it feel elegant and moody. A fun way to have a mini "exit" is to have everyone blow bubbles as you walk from the Ballroom into your dance party.

KIND WORDS

“Casey and Alex were always available to answer any questions we had, offering support and guidance every step of the way. Their professionalism and dedication put us at ease, and on the big day, they captured every special moment with such skill and artistry. When we received the final photos, we were absolutely thrilled. The pictures are stunning."
-Stephanie + Tyson

“Hiring Casey and Alex was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were so exceptionally friendly and were always willing to answer questions and provide advice. On our wedding day, they helped make us feel comfortable during all of our photos and were constantly asking if there were specific pictures/poses we wanted, so they could capture those. Both Casey and Alex were great at arranging the large group photos, and throughout everything, they stayed happy and helpful!"
