Helicopter Proposal to Mudbrick Vineyard, Waiheke Island
5 February 2025
Kevin and Milagro’s love story brought them all the way from the United States to New Zealand, a country known for its breathtaking landscapes and welcoming spirit. They had planned a dream holiday together, but Kevin had something even more extraordinary in store—an unforgettable helicopter proposal at Mudbrick Vineyard on Waiheke Island.
From the moment Kevin & Milagro walked into the Helicopter Me office, I knew this was going to be a proposal I would remember forever. They both looked absolutely stylish in their matching white outfits, and the love between them was undeniable. As an LGBTQ+ couple, their journey together had been one of strength, deep connection, and unwavering commitment, making this moment even more meaningful.
A Scenic Flight to the Perfect Proposal Spot
The helicopter ride itself was nothing short of spectacular. As we soared over Auckland’s skyline and the deep blue waters of the Hauraki Gulf, anticipation built. The journey over the rolling vineyards of Waiheke Island made the perfect lead-up to what would be one of the most special moments of their lives.
When we arrived at Mudbrick Vineyard, the setting couldn’t have been more romantic. The sun cast a golden glow over the lush vineyard, the air was filled with the scent of lavender, and the peaceful atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable proposal.
The Proposal – A Love Story Worth Celebrating
As we made our way down to the secluded spot in the gardens, I guided them into position under the pretense of taking a couple’s portrait. Kevin stood first, and then Milagro. As Milagro turned, he didn’t notice at first—but the moment he turned back again, he realized what was happening.
Kevin was on one knee, ring in hand, eyes full of love and certainty.
Milagro’s expression of pure surprise and overwhelming emotion was unforgettable. He took a step back in shock, his hands covering his mouth as he gasped. For a moment, time stood still. And then, as Kevin asked, “Will you marry me?”, the reality of the moment hit him. And he couldn't stop saying O MY G!
What made this moment even more profound was the representation of love in all its beautiful forms. Their proposal was a testament to the fact that love knows no boundaries—it transcends gender, cultures, and expectations. This was not just a proposal; it was a celebration of a love that was strong, fearless, and deeply cherished.
A Proposal That Will Be Remembered Forever
This helicopter proposal at Mudbrick Vineyard was more than just a romantic gesture—it was a powerful reminder that love is love and that every couple deserves to have their story told and celebrated in the most beautiful way possible.
Being part of Kevin & Milagro’s proposal was an absolute honor. Their love was so evident, and capturing their once-in-a-lifetime moment in such an iconic setting was an experience I will treasure forever.
