Reasons to love
The Sanctuary
There are several indoor areas that provide a classic and elegant feel for photos. The grand hallway, the fireplace, and the bride and groom suites are some of our favorites. Even if it rains on your big day, you'll have gorgeous options.
Whether you are standing on top of the cliffs or are walking across the course this is such a unique spot for photos. The mountains, water and sky make for a beautiful backdrop for photos.
The Sanctuary Golf Course is known for its natural beauty, with its lush greenery, beautiful architecture, and gardens as we as the stunning views of the mountains. There are an endless amount of photo opportunities here.

The card room is furnished with leather chairs and cool tables to hang out. It's a place where the guys can be comfortable and relaxed before the day begins. It makes you feel like you're straight out of a movie.
The bridal suite is private and provides a nice atmosphere for you and your bridal party to relax and get ready for the big day. The suite also offers beautiful lighting, stunning gold mirrors, and bright white walls to perfectly capture your getting ready moments.

The Ceremony Pavilion
The pavilion is perfect for any wedding, whether an intimate gathering or a large celebration. The chairs make the space pop as well as the archway that is perfect for photos.
The softened light creates a romantic atmosphere to say "I do."
We love capturing the bride walking down the walkway to the aisle. The groom is always in awe.

The Sunsets
The sunsets at The Sanctuary are one of the best parts of this already incredible venue. There is nothing like the views over Daniels Park and the bright orange sunsets.
There are unobstructed views of the mountains with the most golden, beautiful sunsets. We always recommend planning time for sunset photos.
Your Reception
THE OUTDOOR PAVILLION
We love the pavilion for dancing. Uplights, chairs, and a dance floor is all you need to make this space special. It's also great for live music as well. It's perfect for beautiful summer nights.
TIP: It's fun to do a "send off" from dinner into the reception with glow lights or something else to welcome the couple onto the dance floor.
THE GREAT HALL
The great room has a beautiful stone fireplace and accents throughout the room, giving it a romantic and elegant feel. The couple enters from the big glass doors or from the stunning fireplace! The lighting in the room is always perfect for toasts or dancing.
TIP: The Sanctuary is very rare in that most of the time you are able to do a sparkler exit. We love these and always recommend doing them.

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!"
