The Manor House is a stunningly “Colorado” wedding venue. Located on six acres of gorgeous land near Dry Creek Canyon, this historic site boasts views of rustic landscape and downtown Denver, and prides itself on being “the ideal backdrop for an authentic mountain wedding in Colorado.” But let’s face it. The only thing predictable about Colorado weather is that it’s, well, unpredictable! Especially in the months most popular for saying “I do.” No worries here, though. Let’s talk indoor spaces at The Manor House (that still photograph beautifully)!

The Manor House Ballroom

If you envision a classic mountain wedding, The Manor House ballroom can help you achieve cozy mountain vibes, even without the mountains. This space is incredibly versatile! The fireplace can center an elegant ceremony, or add to the ambiance of a stunning candlelight reception. With classic white walls, and large/gorgeous windows, you can make this space anything you want it to be! Add pops of color with linens, floral centerpieces, or hanging baskets. Keep things simple with candles, string lights, or lanterns. Personal touches can frame the fireplace, top the tables, and even adorn the exposed wooden beams across the ceiling. Truly, the sky is the limit for this room’s potential.

The Library

Wherever you decide for your ceremony and reception (and seriously, there are no bad options here), I highly recommend taking photos in the library. It’s sophisticated, it’s classy, and it sets an elegant mood from every angle. Leave the space as-is (it’s pretty perfect!), or personalize it with flowers, furniture, or even cocktails, depending on what mood you’re going for. From bridal portraits, couples portraits, family portraits, or even wedding party portraits, you’ll love every shot in this space!

Kent’s Cottage

True, it’s known as being perfect for hair and make up, getting ready photos, and pre-ceremony activities. But the light and airy ambiance of Kent’s Cottage can make a perfect backup portrait location, too. Especially if the weather isn’t cooperating! The natural light can highlight elegant detail shots. Add the venue’s cozy couch to the frame and mirror corner for clean, effortless bridal portraits. This space combines timeless romance with whimsical luxury!

Bonus Space: The Manor House Entryway

If the outdoor shots aren’t working out, and the ballroom is handling the ceremony and/or reception, the entryway of the historic mansion can create a sweet or dramatic portrait backdrop all it’s own. Make a grand entrance down the staircase for a romantic “first look,” adorn the banister with lights or greenery, and let the architecture and soft lighting set the stage for perfect photos.

Ready to book? If a Manor House wedding is in your future, let’s talk. I know this space, and I’d love to bring your vision to life!

Bet you didn’t know this Colorado-based girl is an Ohio graduation photographer, too. It’s true! Every spring, I make an annual trip to photograph seniors at my alma mater, Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. The best part? Not only do I get to visit the school I hold so dearly, but I’m also within driving distance of so many other gorgeous campuses. So yes, I’m a Colorado photographer. But during senior season, I’m a Miami University senior photographer, and an Ohio State graduation photographer. I’m taking Cincinnati graduation photos, and working as a Dayton senior photographer!

It’s down to the wire for the Class of 2026. But Ohio seniors, you’ve got an advantage! Because you’re booking travel dates, not regular dates, my calendar isn’t booked up as far in advance.

So if you like what you see, let’s talk! You can book me through that link while I’m in your neck of the woods.

Upcoming travel dates to Miami University: On (and around) April 21-26, 2026

Ohio State University Graduation Portraits

Listen up, Buckeyes! You’re just 1 hour and 45 minutes away from where I’ll be in Oxford. Let’s hit The Shoe, University Hall, The Oval or Thompson Library! Looking for more scenic senior shots? I’ll meet you at Mirror Lake, Olentangy Trail, or Browning Ampitheater. Or let’s get creative! There are plenty of uniquely Ohio grad photos to be taken at visually modern spots like Wexner, CBEC, Ohio Union, or even the Script Ohio Statue.

University of Cincinnati Grad Photos

Calling all Bearcats! I’ll be 45 minutes away from your beautiful campus next month. We can hit Nippert Stadium, McMicken Hall, or grab some candid shots on UC MainStreet. Want some classic University of Cincinnati graduation portraits? There’s nothing more iconic than the Bearcat Bench, the fountain, or the statues of Mick and Mack. If you’re looking for something a little more artistic, the DAAP Building has the perfect geometric backdrops.

University of Dayton Graduation Portraits

Graduating Flyers, I’m only 40 minutes away from the official UD sign at Caldwell and Brown Street! Grab a classic graduation portrait, then head on over to the main entrance to complete the set. The Chapel of Immaculate Conception is a quintessential historic photo backdrop, as is St. Joe’s Courtyard. Create a more causal vibe with graduation portraits at campus staple Tim’s Bar, or show off the stately architecture at St. Mary’s/Albert Emmanuel Hall.

Xavier University Grad Photos

You’re up, Musketeers! I’ll be an hour away, ready to be your Ohio graduation photographer. We can create scenic images at Xavier Lake, or snap classic campus shots at Academic Mall & Alter Hall, CLC, and the Musketeer statue. Want to showcase the spirit of your fellow graduates? Let’s grab some shots at University Station/King’s Way Cafe, or even at the Gallagher Student Center for a lively campus atmosphere.

Northern Kentucky University Graduation Portraits

I know what you’re thinking. I’m all about Ohio graduation photography, but the Norse are just an hour away in Highland Heights. So let’s take your graduation portraits with Oseberg or Stego while I’m in your area! The Ceramics and Sculpture Building is an ideal spot for modern/industrial shots, or opt for the more scenic backdrop of the University Plaza and Green Spaces. Don’t forget the clock tower! Visible from nearly every spot on campus, we’ll be sure to grab a visual of your day-to-day NKU experience.
