Shooting at The Springs Resort & Spa
Updated July 2026
The Springs Resort & Spa sits right on the San Juan River in Pagosa Springs, built around the geothermal Mother Spring the town is known for, so the whole property has steam drifting off the water even on a cold morning. Shooting here means working with the terraced hot springs pools, the riverside grounds, and the San Juan Mountains rising behind everything, so we plan portrait sessions around whichever light is hitting the water and the peaks at the time.
Because this is a destination-style resort built for soaking and slowing down, the couples who choose it usually want a more relaxed, scenery-first wedding day rather than a tightly scripted ballroom timeline. We build our coverage around golden hour on the river and the mountain views, and we make sure the steam off the springs reads well in photos instead of just fogging up the frame.
Insider tips for The Springs Resort & Spa
The Springs Resort & Spa is located at 323 Hot Springs Blvd in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, along the San Juan River.
It's built around a geothermal hot springs source with dozens of soaking pools along the San Juan River, so the setting leans toward a relaxed, destination-style wedding with mountain and riverside scenery rather than a traditional ballroom layout.
It's a bit of a reach. Candid Studios primarily covers the Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs corridor, and Pagosa Springs is a longer drive out in southwestern Colorado, so this would be treated as a destination wedding with travel planned into the timeline.
Yes, Candid Studios can photograph and film weddings at The Springs Resort & Spa as a destination booking, coordinating travel and coverage around the resort's hot springs and riverside setting.
Golden hour along the San Juan River and against the San Juan Mountains gives the most flattering light, and it's also when the steam off the hot springs pools tends to photograph best rather than reading as haze.

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!
