There’s something truly special about saying your vows on top of a mountain, but this day had an extra spark — Yifan and Lingxiao brought a small group of close friends with them for their heli wedding, and that made all the difference.

The energy was full of laughter, shared toasts, and the kind of warmth you only get when you’re surrounded by people who know you best. Despite it being summer, snow still covered the peaks, creating a beautiful contrast between seasons — and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone involved.

Ling:

“Hi Michal,

We feel really happy to have you doing the videography. We love the video. The shots are clean, and the color is great.”
