The Most Epic Heli Elopement

From the couple – Alysha and Jon:

Our day was truly unique to us! Camping and spending time in the mountains is honestly our favourite escape. Jon and I decided to elope in the mountains after putting all our wedding planning on hold and watching the world around us respond the pandemic. We wanted something fun and that we could involve our daughter and dads. We decided to do the helicopter elopement because we wanted our day to be one full of new and exciting adventures. Having Jon’s dad marry us was easily a wonderful way to to make our day even more personal for us. We had someone who loves us and has watched our love for each other grow marry us and it just made it so much more special. Everything was amazing starting with beautiful flight to and from our ceremony spot with Rockies Heli. The view was breathtaking as we married each other! We played in glacier stream, had our dads and daughter there which made it so perfect. Not mention having a fabulous photographer and an amazing hair and makeup artist to make everything perfect. It was truly a day we will never forget!

From the photographer:

What an incredible day! Alysha and Jon had a very low-key elopement on the top of a mountain in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

Choosing to include their dads in their elopement was a very special touch. Jon’s dad officiated the ceremony while Alysha’s dad watched out for Maddie. The couple is very playful which is showcased in their photos – splashing each other in the stream and just laughing the whole time. The icing on the cake was announcing their pregnancy with their second child!

After the ceremony, we went to the camping grounds where Jon had rigged up a little dance floor so they could still have their first dance with their closest friends and family watching.
