Helicopter Elopements 

 

Like any wedding, an elopement is a special day that should be celebrated and enjoyed. Starting with a romantic first look, we will capture the pure joy of the moment you and your partner see each other for the first time on your wedding day. We will have a mini photoshoot to get you ready for the day, then travel to the helicopter, where you will meet your officiant and our professional pilot with helicopter.

Together, we will soar through the mountains to find your perfect ceremony space. Ralph will capture candid and emotional photos of your ceremony, for you to look back on and cherish for life. Post-ceremony, we will pop some champagne and get set up to take even more unique and special photographs. We will take the helicopter back up into the skies and find magical photo locations where we can capture the day. After all the photos have been taken, you and your new spouse will enjoy your first moments of married life, marveling at the beautiful terrain and basking in your joy from the day.
