Golden is home to a vwide ariety of cozy and stylish AirBnBs, making them ideal for elopement preparation.

This particular location had it’s own unique little forested area which provided an unbeatable, private ceremony space too.
They spent the morning with their two closest friends, getting ready and keeping the vibe as relaxed as could be. With some stories shared and the finishing touches applied, it wasn’t long before we were getting prepped for their first look in the grounds of the cabin.
Air BnB First Look at Outdoor Ceremony
For couples opting for a first look, your AirBnB can provide a stunning, intimate backdrop and this cabin was no exception. Just steps outside of the cabin, they shared their first look together before regrouping with their friends for their intimate ceremony.

Elopement photos around Golden, BC
After a beautiful ceremony and a couple of drinks at the cabin, it was time to head out to explore a couple of pre-planned locations to enjoy the sights and sounds of Golden, BC. We enjoyed incredible weather and visited a quiet and secluded space along the river for some more intimate moements, including some beaitful photos in the forest. From there we headed into town to change the scenery, head to the pub for a toast to the occasion and have some fun on the eye-catching pedestrian bridge.
Heli Elopement Session in Golden, BC
We feel like the highlight of any heli-elopement will likely be the helicopter session itself. Even after such a memorable day together, there’s certainly a feeling of running on a high and to be able to take to the skies together too is such a rush. The beauty of a heli-elopement is that it allows you to access areas untouched by crowds, creating a sense of pure wilderness. Flying from Golden certainly adds to this feeling as many of the skylines and backdrops you see will be lesser known and unrecognizable. We love this element that can be added to your photographs, as heli elopements become more popular, we’re finding many couples are now looking beyond “the popular flights” to ensure they get their truly unique setting, and “never been done before” kind of vibes with locations. We love this side of planning and can certainly help you find somewhere that we’ve never seen an elopement at before!
An intimate heli-elopement in Golden, BC, offers couples the chance to combine romance, adventure, and stunning natural beauty in one unforgettable day. If you’re ready to start planning your heli-elopement, we’d love to help capture your unique love story in the heart of the Rockies.
