Best Photo Spots at Cherry Creek Golf Club
After photographing weddings here for years, our team knows the spots that consistently deliver stunning images.
Garden & Patio Space
Stone pillars create depth and dimension for ceremony and portrait shots.
Ballroom Windows
Natural light during cocktail hour creates soft, flattering portraits.
Golf Course Grounds
Expansive, distraction-free backgrounds for dramatic wide shots.
Front Entrance
Venue signage and landscaping work well for establishing shots.
Golden Hour at Cherry Creek Golf Club
The open golf course setting gives Cherry Creek a real advantage for sunset wedding photography. No tall buildings or dense tree lines blocking the light means you get an extended golden hour window compared to more enclosed venues.
Cherry Creek faces west, so late afternoon ceremonies transition naturally into golden hour portrait time. In summer, plan for that magic light around 7 to 8pm. Fall weddings hit the sweet spot closer to 5 to 6pm.
Your photographer can capture dramatic sunset shots right on the grounds without rushing you off-site. That’s time back in your timeline for actually enjoying your cocktail hour.
