Mountain Elopement with Atleo Air


Oh my, was this a special day. Ariel and TJ had planned an intimate elopement on Mount Ursus in the Clayoquot Sound region. Ariel, TJ, Willa (the officiant) and I hopped into the Atleo Air helicopter and rode our way up from the sea to the peaks. It always amazes me how quickly you can get to the mountains from Tofino. They always feel so far away when you spend most of your time by the ocean. It was a perfectly clear and warm October day. There were clouds in the sky but just enough to create a nice diffusion of light over Ariel and TJ while they spoke their special words to each other with Bedwell Sound as their backdrop. We flew over Tofino Inlet up through a river valley and over a glacier and to this beautiful spot on Mount Ursus. It was pure magic! Here are some photos from that day.


Need a photographer for your Tofino helicopter elopement? It is one of my most favourite things to do around here as you get to see this area from a completely different perspective. Check out more of my work and give me a holler if you're interested in working together!
