A Romantic, Intentional Proposal at One of Boise’s Most Iconic Locations

In the heart of Boise, amidst the timeless charm of the Boise Train Depot, a love story unfolded that was as unique and adventurous as the couple at its center: Braydon and Rebecca. For those who believe in crafting intentional, unforgettable moments, their proposal narrative is a beautiful testament to how both partners can actively create a magical experience together.

Rebecca and Braydon’s journey to this day was anything but ordinary. What started as a plan to propose at the Idaho Botanical Gardens—where they worked their first wedding together—took a serendipitous turn to the Platt Gardens at the Boise Train Depot. This pivot, far from being a setback, only added to the magic of the day. The Depot, with its tall, white clock tower standing proudly against a clear sky, offered a picturesque backdrop that seamlessly blended history with romance.
