Downtown Boise Engagement Session with McKenna & Eric
Downtown Boise is one of my favorite photoshoot locations, especially in the colder and drier months when the foothills are no longer green. The gorgeous state Capitol building and busy streets however remain the perfect setting for a shoot, no matter the season. For this session we also added in a fun stop at The Royal in Hyde Park for some cocktails and late night bar photos! Needless to say, McKenna and Eric's session turned out to be one of my favorite downtown Boise shoots.
I met McKenna over the summer when she reached out to me about shooting their wedding, and we discovered then that she was the maid of honor at another wedding that I was shooting just a few weeks later. It was such a fun coincidence, and so amazing to have the opportunity to be a part of a wedding together prior to her own!
Planning the Session
For McKenna and Eric's engagement session in September, we decided to go with the classy and elegant exterior of the Idaho State Capitol, and they dressed to match. We started with a sunset at the front steps of the Capitol, moving to the sidewalk and streets by The Egyptian Theatre, and then finally heading to The Royal for cocktails where McKenna added a pair of the cutest pearl gloves to her chic outfit.
From coworkers to fiancés
In the words of the bride:
"Our love story began during a normal work day. Eric and I had been coworkers for months, casually chatting here and there. And then one day, everything changed. Eric asked me on a date where we both sipped on a glass of wine at a local wine bar in Boise. Little to my knowledge, that glass of wine would change my life forever. Fast forward to almost 4 years later, and we were sipping on vino again. Up high in a tower on a beautiful summer day, Eric got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever. Unknown to me, this was not the only trick up his sleeve. We then entered another wine bar, and Eric had all of our friends and family waiting for us to celebrate our surprise engagement party. We celebrated with everyone we love in life, and our love story turned into a happily ever."
So excited for these two and their wedding in summer!
