5 Reasons to Choose a Helicopter Elopement
Have a completely intimate elopement in an unreal location
A lot of people choose to elope so they can have a “just us” wedding. One that focuses on just the two of them in an intimate ceremony. Couples want to get away from the pressures and obligations of more traditional weddings and have the freedom to focus on their love for one another. Helicopters allow you to access incredible terrain that is completely isolated from tourists or other people. This brings such a special element to the day. You are your partner are able to travel through the mountains, along river beds, or over to alpine lakes and have the place to yourselves. Eloping on top of a mountain with no one but you and your future partner is a magical place to have an intimate wedding.
You get to go on an adventure together and get married all in one
Most of us don’t take helicopter trips to the tops of mountains, or fly over glaciers everyday. So why not combine an amazing new experience with the most special day of your life. Flying in a helicopter is such an amazing adventure. It gives you a different vantage point that most people never get to see. You can go right up to glaciers and see the deep crevasses, fly over huge crystal clear glacier lakes and fly around mountain peaks, seeing them from every angle. Combining this new experience with an intimate authentic wedding is perfect for your special day. At the end of the tour the guide will land and you will get to say your vows, just the two of you, surrounded by mountains.
Sunshine or clouds the photos & video will look amazing
Many people elope in the mountains and surprise their family back at home after they did it. They will run away and have a secret wedding that is focused only on what the two of them want and then return home to show the family the pictures. Having a helicopter elopement allows you the opportunity to get incredible photos any day. From bluebird days to clouds flying through valleys we love to shoot anywhere a helicopter can access. So many people think that sunshine is key for a great day and amazing photos but Helen & I love shooting in all conditions. Low hanging clouds moving through the valley, grey days where the flat light makes you and your partner stand out, or light moving in and out of the frame with clouds shifting above. Any kind of weather will make amazing photos and great stories for when you surprise your family at home.
Have a stress free day just about the two of you
Many of our couples choose to elope because they dream of a less stressful wedding day. Planning a big wedding can bring so much stress especially for people who don’t love being the centre of attention. Big weddings can be overwhelming and a huge investment, but you have the option to choose a type of wedding that is authentic to you and brings you the most joy. Having a helicopter elopement allows you to make the day just about the two of you, one where you don’t feel stressed or rushed. You can soak in the views, relax and be fully present with your partner in an amazing new location. So, if a big wedding isn’t for you, you can choose an elopement catered to just the two of you. One that is fun, stress free and authentic, so you can marry the love of your life surrounded by incredible mountain views.
You can bring the most important people in your life with you!
Getting eloped doesn’t mean you can’t bring along a few of your other favourite people. Whether that be your grandma, parents, siblings or close friends, they can come to experience your special day. Imagine eloping on top of a Rainbow Mountain in Whistler, surrounded by your closest friends and family, with mountain views as far as you can see. Bringing a few of the most important people in your life on a helicopter elopement means you get to show your family new sights and have them there while you marry the love of your life.
