Heli-Elopement Wedding

Lezita and Ray escaped to Queenstown over the Queen’s birthday weekend, to get themselves hitched and have a few action-packed days to enjoy themselves! Being the first winter wedding of our season this year, none of us were expecting snow on the mountains already, but for Ray having not seen snow before, it was a pretty cool surprise! 😉

Our fantastic photographer Rich Bayley helped pull off a First Look on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Then we whisked them up to our Remarkable Mountains where we were on top of the world, looking down at the moody day below. Lezita and Ray braved the chilly temperatures and read each other the sweetest hand-written and personalised vows (each of Ray’s sentences ended in rhyme!!! We were OBSESSED), before officially being announced husband and wife and traipsing through a bit of snow to get the stunning photographs you will see below. 

It was all kinds of fun and a joy to help Lezita and Ray elope and we wish them all the goofiness, adoration and adventure as they start this next chapter in their lives. Happy Honeymoon-ing to South Africa!! ♡
