Couples often notice Mile High Station for its industrial character. Original exposed brick, steel I-beams, custom chandeliers, and a large brick bar give the indoor space a clear visual identity. Wedding photos can also move beyond those interior details.
Our West Patio offers an outdoor setting within the same Downtown Denver venue. Space is available for approximately 150 guests. A Colorado sunset can also bring a different look to photos taken outside. Couples planning their photo timeline can think about which patio moments add useful variety to the album.
Mile High Station’s West Patio can add sunset portraits, candid guest moments, and quiet couple photos to Denver wedding albums. The outdoor setting creates visual contrast with the venue’s exposed brick, steel beams, chandeliers, mezzanine, and brick bar, giving couples more photo variety without leaving the property.
Indoor photos can highlight exposed brick, steel structural elements, custom chandeliers, the mezzanine, and the large brick bar. Step outside and the setting changes. Using both areas gives your photographer more visual variety without leaving Mile High Station. Indoor images can focus on the historic industrial details, while patio photos can bring in an outdoor Denver setting. Couples who want different backgrounds during one celebration can include both spaces in their photo plan.
West Patio gives couples an outdoor area where guests can enjoy Denver evenings. Mile High Station also describes the patio as a place to watch a Colorado sunset. Evening portraits can work well here when the timing fits your schedule.
A short portrait session outside can add a different mood without taking too much time away from the reception. Talk with your photographer about the best point in the day to step outside. Mile High Station also sits near Empower Field at Mile High in Downtown Denver. Photos taken at the venue remain connected to the city setting that surrounds your celebration.
Formal portraits are only part of a wedding album. Candid patio photos can capture conversations, quiet moments together, and guests enjoying the evening. Small moments like these can make the album look more personal and less posed. West Patio accommodates approximately 150 guests, giving couples another area to consider when planning how people will use the venue. Mile High Station also operates as a single event venue. One primary event uses the venue instead of sharing it with another private event.
Couples do not need to choose one setting for every photo. Main Floor offers formal seating for up to 350 guests and includes much of the historic industrial character found throughout Mile High Station. Mezzanine seating can accommodate up to 200 guests and gives guests a view over the main event space. Custom chandeliers add another strong visual detail.
West Patio creates a clear change from those indoor spaces. One part of the album might show exposed brick and steel. Another might focus on the chandeliers or mezzanine. Outdoor photos can add the Denver evening and open-air setting. Using different areas helps the album show more of the venue without repeating the same background again and again. Our wedding photo gallery shows how these spaces look across real celebrations.
Wedding photos matter, but guests should still be able to enjoy the event. Consider how patio photos fit into your overall use of Mile High Station. Couples can work with flexible room arrangements, indoor and outdoor event options, multiple ceremony areas, a mezzanine, and the West Patio.
Tables and chairs are included with the venue. Couples also have access to a large prep kitchen and a list of approved caterers. Planning photos around moments already happening outside can keep the day moving without creating unnecessary stops.
Online photos can help with ideas, but seeing the venue in person gives you a better sense of how each area connects. During a site visit, look at the West Patio alongside the Main Floor, mezzanine, brick bar, and other areas you expect to use. Notice which spaces you want included in your wedding photos.
Mile High Station also offers virtual and 3D tour options for couples who want to explore the venue before a visit. A photo plan does not need to include every corner. Sunset portraits, candid guest photos, and a few quiet images outside may be enough to give the album more variety.
