On the 5th of May 2025, high above Queenstown’s snow-kissed peaks, Keeley and Josh promised forever. With nothing but mountains, sky, and love surrounding them, they shared their vows in an unforgettable heli-elopement — a day that felt like pure magic. Keeley floated down toward Josh in her Cora wedding gown by After Five — its structured side detail and layered organza slit catching the alpine light with every step. Their ceremony unfolded atop a mountaintop, with the world spread endlessly beneath them — a perfect reflection of the adventure they’ve always shared.

Their day wasn’t defined by tradition or grandeur, but by meaning. It was the soft wind in Keeley’s hair as she smiled at Josh, the laughter echoing off the mountains, and the stillness that followed their “I do.” A celebration that was intimate, breathtaking, and completely theirs.

Josh proposed on 04.11.2023, marking the start of their forever. Soon after, they celebrated with a dreamy beachside engagement shoot — the sound of waves, salt in the air, and soft sand beneath their feet creating the perfect reflection of their love: effortless, genuine, and full of warmth.

The inspiration behind Keeley and Josh’s celebration was rooted in adventure, romance, and authenticity. The vision was to create something effortless yet extraordinary — a day that mirrored the wild beauty of New Zealand and the intimacy of their connection.

Keeley embraced a refined, minimalist look to let the landscape and emotion speak for themselves. Soft waves, understated gold accents, and natural makeup paired perfectly with the Cora gown, elevating her look with timeless elegance.

One of the most unforgettable moments was the helicopter landing on the mountain. Standing together in complete silence before the ceremony — surrounded by sweeping views and crisp alpine air — was a once-in-a-lifetime memory neither will ever forget.

Keeley and Josh’s advice is simple: do it your way. Whether that means eloping on a mountain or celebrating at home, the most meaningful weddings are the ones that reflect who you are as a couple. Authenticity always wins over perfection.
