A Classic Boise Cathedral Wedding at Saint Michael’s Episcopal Cathedral
Molly and Andy’s wedding ceremony took place at the iconic Saint Michael’s Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Boise, a venue known for its soaring architecture, stained glass windows, and timeless reverence. The cathedral’s grand interior set the tone for a traditional, meaningful ceremony—perfect for couples who value history, elegance, and sacred beauty.
With its domed ceiling, warm wood detailing, and dramatic altar, Saint Michael’s offers an unforgettable backdrop for classic church weddings in Idaho. Molly’s entrance through the cathedral doors was nothing short of breathtaking, framed by soft natural light and architectural symmetry that made every moment feel cinematic and intentional.
Getting Ready in Downtown Boise
The day began with Molly and Andy getting ready in downtown Boise at an AIRBNB, surrounded by their closest people and carefully chosen details. From Molly’s gown displayed at the cathedral entrance to Andy’s polished tuxedo accessories, every element reflected an effortlessly classic aesthetic with a modern edge.
We always believe the quiet moments—handwritten notes, heirloom accessories, and intentional styling—set the emotional tone for the entire wedding day. These details not only photograph beautifully but create space for presence and calm before the celebration begins.
Ashleigh found a beautiful outdoor location to shoot some portraits prior to the wedding.
A Timeless Wedding Ceremony Filled with Meaning
The ceremony at Saint Michael’s Episcopal Cathedral was heartfelt, intimate, and deeply personal. Surrounded by family and friends, Molly and Andy exchanged vows beneath the cathedral’s stunning dome, creating a moment that felt both grand and grounding.
The structured flow of an Episcopal ceremony paired beautifully with their modern black-tie style, proving that tradition and contemporary design can coexist seamlessly. The result was a ceremony that felt reverent, emotional, and undeniably elegant.
A Sophisticated Downtown Boise Wedding Reception at The Lively
Following the ceremony, guests transitioned to The Lively, one of downtown Boise’s most sought-after wedding reception venues. Known for its refined interiors, warm textures, and intimate ambiance, The Lively was the perfect setting for an elevated celebration.
The reception design featured soft greenery, candlelight, and intentional tablescapes that complemented the venue’s moody elegance. Every design decision was made to enhance—not overpower—the space, allowing guests to feel both welcomed and wowed.
Molly and Andy’s wedding design leaned into timeless black-tie elements while still feeling fresh and personal. Clean lines, neutral tones, and organic greenery created a look that will remain beautiful for decades to come—never trendy, always refined.
