When it comes to proposals, few can rival the sheer magic of a surprise flight to one of the world’s most breathtaking locations. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to capture a surprise proposal in New Zealand, set against the stunning backdrop of Earnslaw Burn. This adventure not only featured a helicopter flight to a hidden waterfall but also an unforgettable moment that the couple will cherish forever.

The Perfect Setup

The day began with an air of excitement as the couple boarded the helicopter. Little did the bride-to-be know, this was no ordinary flight. The groom-to-be had meticulously planned every detail to ensure it would be a day to remember. As they soared above the majestic landscapes of New Zealand, anticipation filled the air.

To make the experience even more special, the helicopter crew removed the door of the helicopter, allowing me to capture breathtaking shots from above. The aerial views of the lush greenery and sparkling waters below added a dramatic flair to the proposal, making for stunning photographs that truly captured the moment.

A Magical Location: Earnslaw Burn

Landing atop Earnslaw Burn, the couple was greeted by the mesmerising sights and sounds of nature. The cascading waterfall served as the perfect backdrop for this intimate moment. As they stepped out of the helicopter, the groom led his partner to the edge of the waterfall, where he planned to pop the question.

The beauty of the surroundings only heightened the emotion of the moment. With the sound of rushing water and the vibrant greenery enveloping them, he got down on one knee, and the magic unfolded. The bride-to-be initially thought they were either going to meet puppies or that they were part of a reality show, but when the question was asked, she joyfully said yes!

Capturing the Moment

As a photographer, being part of such a significant moment is incredibly rewarding. Every smile, every tear, and every joyful embrace were beautifully captured against the backdrop of one of New Zealand’s most stunning locations. The combination of love, surprise, and natural beauty made this proposal truly unforgettable.
