Maggie & Denise planned an amazing trip to New Zealand and decided to elope while they were here!

The weather on our original date was diabolical, so we switched to the next day and managed to get a break in the rain and fly to a beautiful spot overlooking Lake Wanaka, just below the cloud.

They had a very relaxed afternoon getting ready together before taking their first helicopter flight ever. The spot where Maggie & Denise did their vows and exchanged rings was beautiful but when the cloud rolled in we flew to a beach for warmer temperatures and more awesome views.

Then to round out an incredible afternoon they had a sunset picnic. It was such a fun afternoon and I’m so grateful I was there to be a part of your day Maggie & Denise!
