helicopter :D

chels1315, 20 August, 2014 at 13:38 Posted on Planning 0 16

My oh uncle has just left the army bomb disposal and is training to be a helicopter pilot and he is arranging to pick us up not far from the church and take us to the venue IN A HELICOPTER as a wedding present.

however we have decided that it is going to be a secret from everyone (except photographer) and i had to share it otherwise i will end up spilling it to someone and then everyone will find out!

so excited about it Smiley laugh

    How exciting!!!!

    One of our friends is also training to get his helicopter licence and has said he would like to take us out over the weekend of our wedding - only problem is he needs 60 hours flying time and currently has 5!!!!!

    I'm not expecting it to happen!!?

    That sounds great, it would be good if somhow you could still keep it from every one and get them all to go to the venue and witness you arive at the venue.

    Heres one I shot after they were dropped off at the venue.

    There is a park with a huge field round the corner from the church.

    so were hoping to drive off from the church in the campervan to the field where the helicopter with be waiting, circle for half an hour so that all the guests get to the reception venue, only a 10 minute drive from the church then we will arrive Smiley smile

    My friends had something similar to this. Their wedding was in their home village which had a lake and the venue was an hour away near a lake, they had one of those water planes collect them - that was a massive surprise!

    Thank you - that is nice of you to say. It was fun waving at the pilot "up a bit - down abit" to get him in the perfect spot for the photo.

    You have got to get a shot of the campervan and helicopter side by side before he takes off
