Red Rocks Inspiration

This Red Rocks and Trading Post shoot was styled with a Cafe Racer Romance theme in mind. We really wanted to portray a carefree, cool and sexy elopement in the Red Rocks. The thought of two people in love whisking away on his Triumph motorcycle to such a classic venue was a captivating thought! It was a perfect place for either an intimate gathering of close friends and family or just the couple themselves.

On a different note; Red Rocks is known as a music venue and the Moto/Cafe Racer Culture is huge so we wanted to show off a shoot that brought together elegance, boho style and sexy moments showing off a killer bike!

The Beautiful Space

There's no need for a big budget at this location. Why splurge on decor when you can simply let the breathtaking Red Rocks be your backdrop! We chose this arch because we knew its simple elegance wouldn't take away from the dramatic and natural beauty of the venue. Yet, it lends itself to the surroundings and frames the geo shapes in the wall and also frames the iconic rock formation in the background.

Here are the supplies you'll need and a few helpful tips!

minimal copper arch supplies

Start by assembling your simple arch with the two PVC elbows attaching all three PVC pipes into a doorway like shape.

Screw your PVC flanges into the middle of your two 2x4's (these will be your arch footing) and place the ends or your arch into each flange.

In a properly ventilated area, spray paint the whole arch. Once dry attach your simple floral accent to upper corner.
