Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms Virtual Tour: Green Farm Barn

Warm wood, string lights and a genuinely rustic interior — the reception space most couples picture.

The barn glows once the party moves inside. We light it to keep that warmth rather than flatten it, which is the difference between a barn that looks like a barn and one that looks like a room with a flash in it.

Timber takes warm light beautifully and it holds a crowd, so wide reception frames work here in a way they do not in a tent.

Photographing at The Green Farm Barn

We shot this tour, which means we have lit and walked this space ourselves. If you are weighing it up against the other options here, our Chatfield Farms photographer’s guide covers the whole property — the light, the timing and how a day actually flows through it.
