Boise Elopement with Two Locations: Scenic & Retro

What if I told you that you don’t have to pick just one aesthetic for your elopement? You can be the soft, flowy dream and the badass retro babe in the same damn day. That’s exactly what this couple did when they drove all the way from Portland, Oregon, for their epic Boise elopement with two locations—turning their wedding into an unforgettable adventure and a babymoon (yes, one of them was eight months pregnant and still rocked this day like a pro).

From a windswept ceremony in the Boise foothills, officiated by my favorite human (and husband), Nate, to a Grease-inspired retro drive-in session with neon lights and flash photography, this elopement was a whole damn vibe. And if you’re thinking, “Wait… I can do this too?”—the answer is a resounding hell yes, you can.

Why Choose a Boise Elopement with Two Locations?

Because why the fuck not? No rule says you have to pick just one place. If you and your love have multiple aesthetics (and let’s be honest, you do), then splitting your elopement into two locations lets you fully embrace every part of your vibe.

Here’s why this couple opted for a Boise elopement with two locations:

• They wanted both epic nature views and a fun, retro, city feel.
• They drove in from Portland for their babymoon + elopement (because multitasking is sexy).
• They had two killer outfits and wanted both to get their moment.
• They didn’t want to be confined to just one backdrop—variety = magic.

The result? A day that was as dynamic and unique as their love story.

Location 1: Boise Foothills Elopement

Picture this: the golden Idaho sun sinking behind rolling hills, a winding river below, and one of the most romantic, intimate ceremonies you could imagine. That’s exactly what went down at this first location.

💍 The Look: A dreamy, flowy white wedding dress (fluffy AF) + a classic black suit. Absolute perfection.
🌄 The Vibe: Wind catching the dress, sweeping landscapes, and that just-married glow.
📖 The Ceremony: Officiated by my husband, Nate (who, by the way, can craft a ceremony that will make even the most emotionally unavailable people cry).
📸 The Photos: A mix of candid, windswept romance and cinematic, sweeping landscape shots.

Location 2: Retro Drive-In Elopement

After all the soft, romantic moments, it was time to switch it the hell up. Cue West Side Drive-In, a retro spot straight out of the Grease era, where we leaned all the way into vintage nostalgia with neon lights and flash photography that screamed ICONIC.

🍦 The Look: A white top and black leggings for them, and a black tee, black pants, and a bomber jacket for their partner—pure 1950s cool.
🎞 The Vibe: Playful, fun, and 100% rock ‘n’ roll.
🍽 The Food: A classic Idaho ice cream potato (yes, that’s a thing, and yes, it’s delicious).
📸 The Photos: Flash-lit, old-school, cinematic images that looked like stills from a vintage movie.

What to Know About Eloping While Pregnant

Look, if you’re pregnant and considering eloping, let me be the first to say: you’re a badass. And you deserve a wedding day that celebrates you, not just as a parent-to-be, but as a whole-ass person with dreams and really good taste in elopement ideas.

Tips for eloping while pregnant:

• Dress for comfort AND drama. A flowy dress is great for movement, but make sure it’s one you can breathe in.
• Pick locations that work for you. If hiking is off the table, let’s find stunning spots with easy access.
• Snack breaks are a must. (Honestly, this should apply to all weddings, pregnant or not.)
• Hydration, hydration, hydration. Boise can get warm, so bring water and take breaks.

This couple absolutely owned their day, proving that pregnancy is not a reason to hold back on having the elopement of your dreams.
