How to Have a Helicopter Elopement in the Mountains of BC
Ready to take your love story to new heights? If you’re dreaming of an adventure elopement, a helicopter elopement in the stunning mountains of Fraser Valley is where it’s at! Today, I’m SO excited to share how you can plan your own sky-high celebration, using Melanie and Cory’s epic day as inspiration.
Why Choose a Helicopter Elopement?
Helicopter elopements are perfect for adventurous couples who want their special day to be anything but ordinary! Imagine soaring above breathtaking mountain ranges with panoramic views as your backdrop while you exchange vows. It’s not just an elopement; it’s a full-on adventure! For Melanie and Cory, getting married in the sky captured their fun-loving spirits perfectly. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to tie the knot while floating above the world?
Preparing for Your Adventure Elopement
As your Vancouver elopement photographer, I’m here to help you plan every detail of your adventure from takeoff to touchdown! I can recommend a fantastic local helicopter company in the Fraser Valley that knows the best spots to land for those jaw-dropping views. Trust me; the ride itself is an experience you won’t want to miss!
When preparing for your helicopter elopement, keep in mind that even in spring, like during Melanie and Cory’s April elopement, it can still be downright chilly in the mountains. You’ll be treated to amazing views, but don’t underestimate the 1-2 feet of snow still hanging around and that crisp mountain air! Dressing in layers is essential to stay cozy and ready to enjoy every magical moment.
Think about your wardrobe choices, something that looks good and keeps you warm is a win-win! Opt for stylish outerwear and make sure your shoes are suitable for a bit of snow. You want to look fabulous in your photos while being able to navigate the terrain comfortably.
Unique Moments from the Day
The day was filled with unforgettable moments, and let me tell you, I had my own LOL moment! While trying to get some candid shots in the snow, My foot got stuck in the snow and I tripped! Picture a hot mess snow angel imprinted in the snow! But hey, there’s never a dull moment when I’m around! We all burst into laughter, and it just added to the light-hearted atmosphere of the day.
One of the most magical moments came when we landed at our first spot. The helicopter doors opened, and a rush of fresh mountain air hit us! The vast landscape stretched out before us, and I could see the excitement on Melanie and Cory’s faces. We wasted no time diving into the shoot, capturing those genuine, candid moments filled with so much love.
Tips for Your Helicopter Elopement
When planning your helicopter elopement, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. Timing is Key: Springtime can be unpredictable, but that golden hour just before sunset? Chef’s kiss! It’ll make everything look magical. Just be prepared for those cold mountain temps.
2. Dress Smart: Layers are your best friend in the mountains. You want to look fabulous but also be warm enough to enjoy the moment. No one wants to be shivering while saying their vows!
3. Embrace the Adventure: Helicopter elopements are all about fun, spontaneity, and excitement. So don’t hold back! Whether it’s laughing, dancing in the snow, or just enjoying the breathtaking views, soak it all in. The memories you make will be priceless!
4. Capture the Moments: Having an experienced photographer who can handle the unique challenges of an adventure elopement is crucial. I’ll be right there with you, capturing all the beautiful, candid moments as they happen!
A Love Note from Melanie and Cory
After their elopement, I was over the moon to hear what Melanie had to say:
“We had such a fantastic experience with Sarah; I would highly recommend her! She made us feel comfortable and provided us with good cues and direction. The photos are amazing, and we are thrilled with the work she has done—she truly goes the extra mile to capture the best photo!”
This feedback makes my heart sing! I’m all about creating an experience where you can shine and feel at ease.
