Welcome back to the journal, where stories of love and adventure come to life. Today, I’m sharing Steph and Scott’s extraordinary Vancouver Island helicopter elopement—a day that carried them from mountaintop sunrise to oceanfront serenity. Their celebration was more than a wedding; it was a reflection of their adventurous spirits, their deep bond, and their decision to create a day that felt entirely their own.

Sunrise Among the Mountains

Steph and Scott began their morning with a breathtaking helicopter ride into the mountains. As dawn broke, the sky glowed with hues of pink and gold, casting light across the peaks that held a special place in their story. For Scott, these mountains were more than scenery—they were part of his life, filled with winters spent exploring on his snowmobile and memories shared together. It was the perfect place to exchange vows surrounded by nature’s grandeur.

The helicopter ride, arranged as a heartfelt gift from friends, set the tone for a day filled with joy and wonder. Despite the cool mountain air, Steph radiated calm and grace, her gown flowing in the wind as the first light touched the snow-dusted peaks. Their mountaintop ceremony felt both intimate and expansive, a perfect reflection of their connection and the freedom they share.

From the Peaks to the Sea

After their vows, the adventure continued. The couple took their new Kingfisher to Tree Island—a quiet coastal haven where ocean waters met sunlit shores. Surrounded by her parents and the gentle sound of waves, Steph and Scott exchanged their vows once more. The island’s calm energy offered a beautiful contrast to the rugged mountains, grounding the day in warmth, family, and peace.

Love Guided by Intention

Every moment of their elopement reflected thoughtful planning and a willingness to flow with nature’s rhythm. By choosing the perfect weather window and embracing the spontaneity of the day, Steph and Scott experienced something effortlessly meaningful. It was a reminder that the best moments often come when love, adventure, and timing align.

Recognition and Reflection

Their story reached beyond Vancouver Island when it was featured by Wandering Weddings, inspiring couples everywhere to infuse their own celebrations with adventure and intention. The feature was a reflection of what made this day so unforgettable—authentic connection, boundless love, and a shared desire to honor what truly matters.
