Downtown Boise, but Make It an Indie Film

Ever wondered what happens when you take a rad, nontraditional couple, drop them into downtown Boise, and let them just exist in their element? You get an engagement session that feels straight out of a coming-of-age indie film. Think nostalgia, city lights, and a love story that doesn’t need a script.

On a cold January evening, we bounced from one iconic spot to the next, capturing every laugh, stolen glance, and spontaneous moment. The couple’s only request? To hit up their favorite haunts and embrace the vibe of just bopping around downtown—something they do on the regular. Mission accomplished. This downtown Boise engagement session is seriously next level.

Flipping Through Vinyl at The Record Exchange

First stop: The Record Exchange—aka Boise’s haven for music lovers and the kind of place where you can kill hours just sifting through vinyl, pretending you totally know every band in the obscure indie section.

These two? Fully in their element, flipping through records, hyping up each other’s music taste (or roasting it, as all good couples do), and just vibing. The colorful album covers and warm record-store glow set the scene, and the result? Photos that look like the album cover of their love story.

(Also, if you haven’t been here yet, you should probably fix that. Check out The Record Exchange and thank me later.)

Third-Wheeling in a Photobooth

Just outside the shop sits an absolute gem—a 1960s wingtop Model 14 analog photobooth. If that means nothing to you, just know it’s vintage, cool as hell, and still kicks out those iconic black-and-white photo strips. Naturally, we had to cram these two into the tiny booth for some chaotic, giggly, and ridiculously cute captures.

They made goofy faces, stole a few kisses, and just let loose. And honestly? These are the kind of moments that hit the hardest when you look back years later. No perfect poses—just them, exactly as they are.

Parking Garage Nostalgia & Sky-High Views

Next up, we hit a parking garage. Yes, a parking garage—because nothing screams peak teenage nostalgia like loitering in places you probably shouldn’t be, with nothing to do except vibe with your favorite person.

From the top level, we got a killer view of the Boise skyline, with city lights flickering on just as the sun dipped below the horizon. It was giving late-night city adventures when you’re 17, broke, and just making your own fun. And honestly? That energy is undefeated.

They ran up the ramps, leaned against the railing, and just existed in the moment. It wasn’t about the perfect pose or the best lighting (though, let’s be real, the lighting was chef’s kiss). It was about the feeling. And that feeling? Pure magic.

Champagne & Cheers at The Modern Bar

To wrap things up, we headed to The Modern Bar—because what’s a downtown Boise engagement session without a little celebration? This spot is effortlessly cool, full of warm, moody lighting, and known for some of the best craft cocktails in Boise.

As the couple toasted to their future, some absolute legend (aka a very kind stranger) sent over a bottle of champagne. Like, can we get a round of applause for people who just get it? The final shots of the night were filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and the kind of buzz that comes from both love and champagne.

Why You Need Me as Your Engagement Photographer

Look, you don’t want just any engagement photos. You want photos that feel like you. That’s where I come in.

🔹 Personalized Planning: Your session should be as unique as your relationship, which is why I actually take the time to get to know you and what makes you tick.

🔹 Scouting the Best Spots: Whether it’s your go-to dive bar or a hidden gem in the city, I’ll help you nail down the best locations (and, yes, I handle the whole calling ahead thing for private venues).

🔹 Zero Awkward Posing: If you’re worried about looking stiff in front of the camera—don’t. My approach makes it feel more like a fun date night than a photoshoot. You’ll barely even notice I’m there (except when I’m hyping you up like your personal paparazzi).

🔹 Cinematic & Nostalgic AF: If you want engagement photos that feel like stills from an indie film—moody, real, and effortlessly cool—then you’re in the right place.

So, if this sounds like the vibe you’re after, let’s make it happen. Hit me up and let’s start planning.
