A couple big firsts for us yesterday: 2 engagements in one day AND giant bubbles from the balloon!

We ❤️ being part of special celebrations and this was one for the books: 2 flights, 2 yesses, one splash and dash, and a host of giant bubbles floating through the morning skies. Wishing our happy couples a lifetime of happiness and adventure 🥂🍾

(And check out for more incredible shots from the ride. We had fun trying out the bubbles after the flight and they are awesome 🫧!)
