Mt Cook Helicopter surprise proposal

Taking things to the next level? a helicopter ride will certainly do that! We join the trip in the back of the heli with an undercover story and fly to an epic location! We are right there to capture every moment of the proposal as it unfolds then a picnic is prepared followed by a quick photoshoot celebrating the moment!

Its definitely a huge wow factor and combined with the jaw-dropping New Zealand scenery, we highly recommend it!!

KIND WORDS

Definitely would recommend Saunders Photo and Cinema! Matt is an absolute gem! We hired him to capture a surprise proposal at Lake Tekapo. The communication and diligence to keep an eye on Lake Tekapo weather were great and so helpful. He was also mindful to make sure my fiancée never spotted him before the actual shoot. Initially, the proposal had to be postponed due to bad weather, but Matt was flexible and understanding. Matt did a pre-shoot scope of the scenery so that he could lead us to make the most of the stunning winter wonderland. He disguised himself as a landscape photographer, ensuring the surprise wasn’t revealed prematurely and when the moment came, he captured every emotion and detail so beautifully. Matt’s professionalism, creativity, and ability to adapt to changing circumstances made the entire experience stress-free and truly special. Thank you Matt for capturing our special moment.
