Jay & Endsley’s wedding at The Barn at Raccoon Creek was absolutely stunning. This Littleton wedding venue has the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern convenience, and honestly, it’s such a dream. Everything you need is right there on the property, the spaces are gorgeous, and the grounds are full of beautiful spots for photos. Their day felt so natural, full of joy and love, and photographing it was so amazing! If you’re looking for a venue that’s full of character, totally photogenic, and just makes everything feel effortless, you’re going to love The Barn at Raccoon Creek!

Getting Ready in the Bridal Cottage + Groom’s Loft

The ladies started their morning in the Bridal Cottage, a bright space that’s absolutely perfect for wedding-day prep. The natural light, clean tones, and room to spread out made photographing hair, makeup, and all the sweet little details feel so effortless!

Meanwhile, the guys were getting ready in the Groom’s Loft, which is just as thoughtful and convenient. Having both spaces on-site kept everything close and totally stress-free — honestly the best way to ease into the day.

First Look + Private Vows

Before heading into the rest of the day, Jay & Endsley shared a private first look on the lawn, and it was such a sweet, grounding moment. They took a few minutes just for themselves, exchanged personal vows, and soaked in the excitement of the day ahead. Right after, we wandered along the lawn and tree-lined paths for a few portraits. These quiet, connected moments are some of my absolute favorites because they capture the calm, excited energy before all the festivities kick off.

A Tearful First Look With Dad

One of the moments that always gets me: a father-daughter first look. Endsley shared that moment with her dad, and it was such a warm, emotional part of the day. Just pure joy and love.

The Ceremony on the Lawn

They said their vows on the ceremony lawn, and oh my gosh, it was the sweetest thing. A few tears, a few giggles, and so much love you could practically feel it in the air.

Cocktail Hour in the Pavilion

After the ceremony, everyone headed to cocktail hour (because we took all family + bridal party photos earlier!). It was such a relaxed, joyful part of the day. Guests mingled, grabbed drinks, and soaked in that soft summer-evening breeze under the Outdoor Pavilion.

The Outdoor Pavilion at The Barn at Raccoon Creek is such a great spot. It’s open, airy, and perfect for a Colorado summer night.

Reception Inside the Historic Barn

The barn was absolutely glowing. Everything felt warm and inviting, and it had that sweet, charming vibe The Barn at Raccoon Creek does so well. Such a perfect setting for dinner and all the fun moments that followed.

Moody Portraits by the Lake

Later in the evening, Jay & Endsley and I snuck away for a few quiet portraits by the lake, and the light was giving all the moody, romantic vibes.

I always recommend taking even just 10-20 minutes away from the party for portraits like this. It gives you a moment to connect, breathe, and soak in the day… and the photos are always worth it.

The night wrapped up with cake cutting, dancing under the lights, and countless happy, candid moments. Their day felt so effortless and joyful, with everyone around them sharing in the love.

Why The Barn at Raccoon Creek Is Such a Dream Colorado Wedding Venue

I just can’t say enough about The Barn at Raccoon Creek, it’s truly one of Littleton’s hidden gems.

Here’s what makes it such a standout venue:

A Historic Barn Full of Character – This isn’t just any barn. It’s a restored historic cow barn with tons of texture and charm. It gives every photo that classic Colorado wedding vibe.

Bright, Comfortable Getting-Ready Spaces – The Bridal Cottage is light and bright and perfect for getting ready photos. The Groom’s Loft right next door makes things super convenient for the guys, too. Having both on-site keeps the morning calm and smooth.

Endless Photo Spots – You really don’t need to leave the property for amazing photos. Some of my favorite spots include:

The beautiful lake with mountain views
Shady trails where the sun filters through in the dreamiest way
Wide open lawns and peaceful meadows

Everything is close together, which keeps transitions easy and gives couples a no-rush, relaxed experience.
