Boise Train Depot WeddingMichelle & Michael’s Chic, Jazzy Wedding in Boise | A Downtown Cathedral CelebrationBoise Train Depot Wedding
As a documentary-style photographer based in Idaho, I get to witness some truly incredible love stories—but Michelle and Michael’s wedding was one for the books. With roots on opposite coasts—him from sunny Los Angeles and her from the heart of New York City—this couple brought both East and West Coast style to the mountains of Idaho for a day that was nothing short of unforgettable.
Held at the historic Cathedral of the Rockies in downtown Boise, their ceremony was steeped in tradition but layered with personality. From the soaring architecture of the church to the smooth sounds of live jazz echoing through the reception, every detail was carefully curated to reflect both of their backgrounds.
Coast-to-Coast Style, Idaho Heart
Michelle’s New York elegance met Michael’s laid-back LA vibe in a celebration that was equal parts luxury and soul. With the help of an experienced wedding planner, they created a weekend that blended classic style with modern touches—think clean lines, a muted color palette with pops of deep green, and table settings that would make any chef proud.
The reception was full of timeless details: hand-tied florals, ambient candlelight, and a jazz band that kept the energy warm and intimate all night long. And yes, the food? Unreal. A private chef brought seasonal Idaho flavors to life with a menu that had guests raving long after the cake was cut.
Timeless Film Images & A Documentary Approach
For Michelle and Michael, photography was high on the list of priorities. They wanted more than just posed portraits—they wanted to feel the day again every time they looked at their photos. That’s where my documentary-style approach came in.
From candid laughs during champagne toasts to the quiet moments before Michelle walked down the aisle, I focused on capturing honest, cinematic images that tell their story from start to finish. And yes, I shot plenty of timeless film images—those dreamy, grainy frames that never go out of style.
A Wedding with Intention
What stood out the most was the attention to detail. Every element had meaning: a ceremony that honored their families, a reception that celebrated their roots, and a wedding day that felt effortlessly them. It’s weddings like this that remind me why I do what I do.
