A private helicopter whisks you from Manhattan to a lakeside farm airstrip in Connecticut for a staged, photographer‑documented proposal. Expect a 3‑hour private charter with a lakeside photoshoot, champagne, and a dramatic return flight.

You step onto the heliport pad in Manhattan and feel the city’s geometry slip away as rotors cut the air; glass towers shrink and the river unravels into ribbon below. The helicopter banks west, New York’s skyline holding your last view of urban light before the landscape softens into Connecticut fields and the silver edge of Candlewood Lake. At Candlelight Farms Airport the helicopter settles on grass by the water and an old wooden hangar waits like a quiet room arranged for a reveal.
