As a wedding photographer based in Idaho, I have had the privilege of capturing countless love stories in some of the most breathtaking venues our beautiful state has to offer. Among them, Stone Crossing stands out as an enchanting space that embodies the spirit of adventure, joy, and connection. If you're a couple who loves to embrace life with a touch of whimsy, then this historic estate might just be the perfect backdrop for your special day.

A Unique Venue with Rich History

Nestled in the northwest hills of Boise, Stone Crossing is more than just a venue; it is a piece of Idaho's architectural history. Built in 1968, this stunning estate has been thoughtfully renovated, maintaining its original charm while offering modern amenities that cater to your every need. The entire structure features stone sourced from local quarries, giving it a unique character that you won't find anywhere else in Idaho. The venue’s picturesque setting includes an extensive garden space adorned with rose bushes, towering maple and pine trees, and a charming gazebo that creates an idyllic atmosphere for outdoor ceremonies. A fairytale bridge, lush greenery, and a serene pond provide countless opportunities for breathtaking photographs, making it an ideal spot for adventurous couples who value creativity and connection.
