French Garden Party at The Cottage at River Bend in Boise, Idaho

Ayden has the most electric, sweet soul—and a smile that beams with the most majestic blue eyes. She and Tyler share the kind of passionate young love that feels straight out of a movie. The first time I met Ayden, she was working at A&B Bridal Shop, and even then, she told me she always knew she wanted me to be her wedding photographer.

With her background in the wedding industry, Ayden brought so many fresh ideas to her own big day. She envisioned a French garden party set right in the heart of Boise—and with the incredible help of @steeleoakseventco and @waywardgreensfloraldesign, they absolutely nailed the vibe.

From the start, Ayden wanted the photography to focus on the details and the couples portraits—images that felt like flipping through the pages of a dreamy editorial magazine. Every little piece was beautifully thought out, and @thecottageatriverbend was the perfect setting to bring that vision to life.

As the night drew to a close, a massive storm swept in with zero warning. But in true Ayden fashion—free-spirited and full of joy—she embraced it. She laughed, danced in the wind, and turned the unexpected moment into an opportunity for some of the most romantic portraits, with petals falling from the trees and love in every frame.
