CHRIS & KIM

Settling in NZ from the UK, Chris & Kim chose to keep things simple and opt for a gorgeous elopement with Queenstown as their backdrop. The couple stayed at the Hilton, where they had a intimate first look on the lake-side. Chris was flabbergasted by his wife-to-be. Kim was all smiles during the big reveal and after a few kiss and cuddles, the pair jumped into the car to head to the helicopter base.

Teaming up with Andrew Bell as their celebrant, we headed to Cecil Peak for the ceremony. Sadly, the high winds resulted in a delay of the ceremony so after 20 minutes of photos, we jumped back in the heli to fly over the mountain tops to Big Geordie. With the few down over Glenorchy, Big Geordie is one of our favourite heli landing spots as the sun sets perfectly over the mountain peaks. As Andrew took us down memory lane with the couples' journey, they finally said their I-do's and finally were married!

With a classy bottle of champagne in hand, Chris marked the occasion with a classic spray of excitement. Another small session of couple photos ended the afternoon and once the sun ducked down for the night, we were whisked away back to Queenstown.
