Elopements in the Coast Mountains.
Helicopter elopements above Whistler and small, quiet ceremonies along the Sea-to-Sky. I’m based in Vancouver, a couple of hours down the highway, and I photograph these days on digital and 35mm film.
Fresh snow, and nobody watching.
Most of the elopements I photograph up here start slowly: getting ready in Whistler, boots laced under the dress, a coffee before the flight. Then a short helicopter ride puts you on a summit with no crowd, no noise and no schedule except your own.
I keep my part quiet. A little direction when it helps; otherwise I watch, and photograph the size of the mountains next to how close the two of you are.
Weather, layers and a plan B.
Helicopters only fly when the mountains allow, so we always keep a backup on the ground and the morning flexible. In winter it can drop to -16°C at the top, and I’ll help you plan layers that still feel like you.
