Mountain Heli Elopement

Kelly joined us for the day of our mountain heli elopement to help capture our special day on video. Neither my husband nor I had any experience with video, but Kelly made us feel so comfortable. She directed us, guiding us on exactly what to do, and we felt completely at ease throughout the entire process.

When we landed on a mountaintop in the middle of extreme weather, with strong winds and snow, Kelly kept encouraging us and helped us push through. We watched the final video last night, and we were absolutely blown away! Despite the crazy conditions, Kelly did an incredible job of capturing our story. She creatively used the elements—wind, snow, and all—to craft dramatic and beautiful footage.

We couldn’t be happier with the final product and will treasure these memories forever. If you’re looking for someone who can truly capture your love story and create a stunning video, I highly recommend Kelly! She’s a true talent!

Kelly Vanderbeek BEST wedding photographer

Kelly was amazing, from first introductions to wedding day to editing photos, she was organized and fun. The day of the wedding she had a great understanding of the best spots for the WOW photos of mountains in the background. She was so helpful in directing our wild group of friends and family to capture the whole groups excitement. Additionally, she was part of the entire day (a marathon of photos basically). So she had captured a ton of photos of us getting ready and the party. Everyone loved her energy and really enjoyed having her there. Her editing turn around was impressively efficient and we were sitting down to re-live the day through photos in no time. Editing was high quality and a great style to emphasize what we wanted. Kelly was awesome to work with, got us the right photos with stunning views. Thanks for the great work and we are so happy we had you there as part of the adventure!
