Chloé Blackburn
Creative Date Planner & Wedding Photographer
Hi there! I’m Chloe, a local wedding and portrait photographer, a lover of warm light, and—most importantly—someone who believes that Rexburg has way more to offer than people give it credit for.
After years of living in the 83440 (since 2020, with a short break for a mission!), I kept hearing the same thing: “There’s nothing to do in Rexburg.” I saw couples falling into the same “dinner and a movie” routine, or worse, just staying in because they didn’t know where to go.
As a photographer at Chloe Brasil Photography, my job is to find the beauty in the “everyday” and the “hidden gems” of South Eastern Idaho. I created Rexburg Date Guide because I wanted to help couples create better memories even when my camera isn’t there. I want you to stop scrolling and start exploring.

The Credentials: Why Trust My Recommendations?
I don’t just list places; I scout them. Being a documentary-style photographer means I have an eye for the aesthetic, the atmosphere, and the “vibe.”
- Location Expertise: I’ve spent years finding the most picturesque corners of Madison County. Whether you need the perfect lighting at the Nature Park or the best time to hit the St. Anthony Sand Dunes for a bonfire, I’ve done the legwork.
- The Aesthetic Eye: I know which local spots have the best “date night” ambiance (like the cozy booths at Red 8 Sushi) and which ones provide the best adventure (like hiking the Palisades, where I actually got engaged to my long-time best friend!).
- Local Heart: I live here, I’m married here, and I’m invested in seeing our local businesses thrive.
