Some weddings are beautiful, and some are unforgettable. This incredible Copper Point Resort wedding in Invermere, British Columbia was both — with a breathtaking helicopter adventure into the heart of the Purcell Mountains.

The day began at Copper Point Resort, one of the most stunning wedding venues in the Columbia Valley. Surrounded by mountain views and the peaceful atmosphere of Invermere, it was the perfect setting for an elegant yet relaxed Rocky Mountain wedding.

After an emotional ceremony and joyful celebrations with family and friends, the adventure truly began. The couple boarded a helicopter for an unforgettable flight above the rugged landscapes near Panorama Mountain Resort, heading deep into the alpine.

Our destination was the spectacular Lake of the Hanging Glacier — a hidden alpine lake surrounded by dramatic peaks and glaciers. Accessible only by helicopter or a demanding backcountry trek, it’s one of the most breathtaking locations in the Canadian Rockies.

Landing beside the turquoise alpine water felt like stepping into another world. With glaciers towering above and endless mountain ridges stretching across the horizon, the couple shared a quiet moment together while we captured some truly unforgettable wedding portraits.

Helicopter adventures like this make Invermere and the Columbia Valley one of the most incredible places in Canada for couples who want something unique for their wedding day. Combining a beautiful Copper Point Resort wedding with a helicopter elopement-style portrait session in the alpine creates memories that last a lifetime.

If you're dreaming of a mountain wedding in Invermere, a Panorama helicopter wedding adventure, or a Rocky Mountain elopement, the Columbia Valley offers some of the most spectacular landscapes in British Columbia.
