Nilesh & Yusra

Some moments in life feel like they’re straight out of a fairy tale, and Nilesh and Yusra’s helicopter proposal at Bethells Beach was just that. The anticipation in the air was undeniable as Nilesh prepared to surprise Yusra with one of the most unforgettable moments of their love story.

The day started with an exhilarating helicopter ride, soaring above Auckland’s breathtaking coastline, with the waves crashing against the rugged West Coast. The beauty of Bethells Beach unfolded beneath them, a dramatic mix of black sand, wild dunes, and lush greenery—a location as extraordinary as their love. Although Nilesh had been slightly nervous about the experience, his excitement grew as they neared their landing spot, a secluded area on the beach where everything was set for the perfect moment.

As they stepped out onto the sand, Yusra marveled at the stunning surroundings, completely unaware of what was about to happen. Nilesh, steadying his breath, took her hands and led her closer to the spot where he would ask her the most important question of their lives. And then, in that picture-perfect setting, he dropped to one knee. The look of pure shock and joy on Yusra’s face was priceless, and as tears welled up in her eyes, she said, "Yes!"

The magic of the moment wasn’t just in the words spoken but in everything around them—the golden light casting a dreamy glow, the ocean breeze carrying their laughter, and the incredible backdrop that made every photo look like it belonged on the cover of a romance novel. We spent time capturing their love in its rawest form—dancing barefoot on the sand, embracing against the dramatic cliffs, and soaking in every second of the incredible adventure they had just embarked on together.

For couples looking to create a proposal that’s straight out of a dream, Bethells Beach by helicopter is one of the most breathtaking and unique experiences you can have. And for Nilesh and Yusra, it was the beginning of their forever in the most magical way possible.
