The Pines at Genesee wedding venue welcomed Allison and Martin with the scent of pines and soft mountain light, setting a naturally charming tone for their wedding day. Just west of Denver, this mountain venue is tucked among tall trees and fresh mountain air. Part of the Wedgewood Weddings family, it offers a warm, rustic setting with modern amenities, two ceremony sites, cozy reception spaces, and breathtaking foothill views—a perfect mix of intimacy and grandeur.
Allison and Martin’s story began at the Colorado School of Mines, where they were dorm neighbors. They were both engineering physics majors and started dating in 2013, successfully navigating years of long-distance. After Martin completed his PhD and Allison established her career in Denver, he proposed in December 2022. Their wedding was a celebration of that journey and the love they built together.
The day was full of thoughtful details: yellow sunflowers, rings resting on petals, and elegant dusty blue accents. Allie’s lace gown complemented the mountain backdrop perfectly, while Martin’s joy was evident as he awaited her. Their ceremony in the forest clearing felt personal yet grand, with sunlight streaming through the trees and creating a magical atmosphere.
Photos and moments with the bridal party captured pure joy—laughter, hugs, and golden-hour Colorado light. The natural textures and sweeping views of The Pines made every portrait shine.
The reception was full of energy and celebration. Guests enjoyed delicious catering, the couple’s first dance melted hearts, and the dance floor quickly filled. From cake cutting to late-night laughter, it was an unforgettable celebration.
