It’s not often you wake up on a summers morning to a winter snowfall… and it’s even more unusual for said summer snowfall to be accompanied by a perfect, blue sky and windless day. It certainly wasn’t what Katrina & Joshua were expecting for their Wanaka wedding, but wow, just wow, were they lucky!

Their flight into the mountains, over snowcapped peaks and a mirror calm lake, was spectacular. The day had warmed up, and although the snow had started to melt they were still covering over ‘Twin Peaks’, where their ceremony was held. After adventuring around the mountaintop and grabbing some super cute shots together, it was time to hop back in the heli for another breathtaking flight back into town for a few last photos (and cake! yum!) by the lakeside. xx

Huge thanks to these very talented folk for their part in Katrina & Joshua’s day…
