As befits a couple with such film-starry names, Jacqui and Kirk got married on top of a snowy mountain, a short helicopter ride away from Queenstown! I've been known to offer people discounts in the past if they promise to do something really extravagant on their wedding day (like get married on top of elephants or do the entire last dance from Dirty Dancing..) but hey, if this kind of thing is commonplace in New Zealand then no more discounts! This wedding was SO much fun!!

 

Here is me in the helicopter just before we took off (er, the 24mm lens isn't too flattering!)

 

 

 

Continuing with the film star theme, here is Jacqui looking extrememly glam in her wedding car:

 

 

 

Getting ready for the flight:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jacqui and Kirk eloped from Melbourne, Australia.. only they brought their mums too (aww!). I think this is nervous laughter as the helicopter takes off...

 

 

 

 

 

We landed on a snowy spot overlooking all the surrounding mountains (some of which were used in the Lord of the Rings films), and Jacqui and Kirk set about getting married!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some shots in the snow... it was pretty cold, Jacqui just must be slightly superhuman because she left her coat off for a good half an hour..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the helicopter...

 

 

 

 

 

And a bit of champagne in the car on the way home....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahhh, the glamour of it all! So, if anyone reading this is considering getting married on a yacht in the carribean, or.. I don't know... in a chocolate factory or something.. just let me know, I may be able to squeeze you into my busy schedule. Ahem.

 

Thanks Jacqui and Kirk for having me along! xxxx
