Kim + Eric’s Helicopter Elopement and Traditional Wedding at The Lodge on Harrison Lake, BC

August 9, 2023
Featured  ·  Lifestyle  ·  Photography  ·  Wedding

Get ready to be swept off your feet as I share the heartwarming and wonderfully unique story of Kim and Eric’s recent wedding at The Lodge on Harrison Lake. Their day was a beautiful fusion of family celebration and elopement vibes – a mix that might seem a little unconventional, but trust me, it was sheer perfection.

Sometimes, love stories don’t always follow the conventional script, and that’s exactly what made Kim and Eric’s wedding day so special. It was a beautiful fusion of two worlds, a harmonious blend of a family-filled wedding and a personal elopement. Sound like an intriguing combination? Let me take you on a journey through their unforgettable day. The scene was set at the quaint and stunning Lodge overlooking the tranquil expanse of Harrison Lake. Kim and Eric began their day with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation, surrounded by their loved ones. The atmosphere was thick with emotion as they shared a tear-filled first look, a moment that beautifully captured the depth of their connection.

With hearts full of love, the adventure continued as we headed to the Chilliwack airport. There, a unique experience awaited them – a helicopter from Sky Helicopters flew us away over the majestic mountain tops. As we soared higher, their spirits lifted along with them, matching the breathtaking view of the Fraser Valley below. It was amidst the peaks, overlooking the valley, that Kim and Eric shared an incredibly intimate and private moment. They had written heartfelt personal vows for each other, promises they wanted to keep as a precious secret between them. With the panoramic vista as their witness, they exchanged these vows, filling the mountain air with the purity of their love.

Their hearts brimming with each other’s promises, we made our way back to The Lodge on Harrison Lake, where the atmosphere shifted to one of a more traditional celebration. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Kim and Eric had a touching wedding ceremony and reception. Laughter, joy, and tears of happiness echoed through the air as they exchanged their vows once again, this time in front of their loved ones. As the sun began its descent, casting a warm glow over the lake, Kim and Eric shared a private first dance that felt like a fairytale moment. With the sun painting the skies with hues of gold and pink, their love radiated just as brightly. It was a picture-perfect ending to a day that defied conventions and left everyone in awe.

Kim and Eric’s wedding was a beautiful testament to the fact that love knows no boundaries. It can’t always be neatly categorized; sometimes, it’s a blend of different elements that makes it even more unique and special. Their day was a celebration of love in all its forms – from the private vows shared atop mountain peaks to the traditional ceremony surrounded by their loved ones.
