Amazing Downton Abbey Themed Wedding on the Top of a Mountain with a Helicopter Arrival

It’s not every day you get to blog something like that. I’ve been wanting to talk about this since I first saw it on the photographers’ blog, but I’ve been surprisingly very good at not spoiling everything! Today is finally the day I can share my excitement with you, and it’s with a very deserved TADAAAAM that I’d like to introduce to you maybe one of the most special, unique, whatever-you-like-to-call-this wedding I’ve ever blogged! I know the post’s title, mentioning a wedding on the top of a mountain and a helicopter arrival, is quite explicit (and kind of appealing I guess), but now you’re going to see the pictures and realize it’s even better than what you imagined. This wedding has everything: emotion, love, the perfect setting, the perfect venue and the perfect way to join it! Photography by the sweet husband & wife team, Shari and Mike out of Canada.

The wedding took place in Vancouver, Canada. From the grooms:

Taking a helicopter up to the Mountain Venue was very exciting for us. It was our “James Bond” Moment. The point at which we flew around the venue building and seeing all our guests on the patio waving to us in the Helicopter, brought tears to our eyes. It is a moment we will never forget. We loved our Downton Abbey theme, however, we forgot to tell everyone about it. Some people were dressed up and others were wondering what they missed.

Regarding the wedding, name one thing you regret… 

We didn’t regret anything about the wedding, however, We would have liked to have joined hands with all our guests, then cut the cake. If we had thought about it ahead of time.

… And one thing you’re really happy about/ proud of. 

We are happy that it was intimate, amongst our closest friends and family. We were very proud of the sunny beautiful day we had to showcase the beautiful city we live in. With the city as our backdrop, being on top of a mountain were memories we will never forget.  We are very happy to be living in Vancouver and calling this city our home.

The word of the photographers.

This wedding was incredible to be a part of, full of emotion and laughs! We had a blast spending the day with these guys. Although we had not met Doug or Tim until the morning of their wedding, we instantly fell in love with them + it was an honour to document the day they got to express their love + commitment to one another in front of their closest family + friends. Oh and did we mention the helicopter…..amazing! (Oh and Shari won the paper, rock, scissors match for which one of us would get to fly along in the helicopter with the grooms.)
