Shooting at Blackstone Rivers Ranch

Updated August 2026

Blackstone Rivers Ranch sits on Chicago Creek outside Idaho Springs, a riverfront mountain venue about 35 minutes from Denver. Pines close in on the ceremony. The water is loud enough that vows need a real mic, and portraits in the trees stay private even when the tent is full.

Candid Studios has photographed 1 wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. We walk the creek path first, hold the ceremony in the grove, then move to the tent when the mountain shade drops the temperature.

As photographers and videographers, we plan around three practical realities: creek noise under the vows, how guests move from grove to tent, and when the portrait window opens in the woods before dinner. We keep stills and film on the same beat so the walk from the trees to the reception reads as one story.

Every package includes professionally edited images, a high-res online gallery, print release, and free RAW files. Photo and video can be booked together so you are not coordinating two companies on site at Blackstone Rivers Ranch.

    Ryan captured every single moment perfectly and got some great candid shots. How he managed to be everywhere at once and the quality of service and photos delivered was beyond what I expected. I have gone on to recommend him to friends who are getting married soon and will continue to do so. If you need a photographer for your wedding or any special event, Ryan with Candid Studios is it!

    After our first consultation with Ryan, we knew we had chosen the right photographer for our wedding. Not only is Ryan highly professional but a joy and so much fun to work with. He made us feel so at ease, making us laugh & just enjoying each and every moment and it truly shows in the beautiful photos. He captured so many of the special candid moments with such attention to detail and creativity. Going through the finished photographs brought me to tears (happy ones). It was like reliving the day all over. Every photo touched our hearts in some way and we will cherish the memories forever!! Thank you Ryan and your team for all your hard work & dedication in making our wedding day in photographs so stunning! You have a true gift for capturing people’s emotions and it certainly shows in the quality of your work. We would highly recommend Candid Studios!! ***** Linda P. & George K. 5/2/26
