Juliana and Jayson

Juliana thought she was going out to dinner. She was pleasantly surprised when she found herself in the back of the Spain Inn parking lot!!! All of the balloon vehicles were ready to head over to the nearby farm for the launch. Jayson had informed Juliana that photography was part of the hot-air balloon package so we had some time to do some portraits before the balloon launch. Of course the team at balloons in flight provided so safety and general information before the flight. There is nothing like the excitement when the propane burners are ignited and balloon starts to fully inflate. We had some beautiful weatherfor flying and the ride was amazing. Mid flight, Jayson proposes to Juliana. Love was truly in the air for this special couple.

Maya and Mike Hot Air Balloon Proposal

Maya thought she was going to a cooking class in New Jersey. Little did she realize that Mike has something else in mind!!!! The weather was perfect for a Hot Air Balloon ride!!. We met at the Spain Inn2 in Asbury New Jersey in an Abandoned pool. Which is s pretty interesting location. Maya knew it was not a cooking class when all of the balloon trailer rolled up with the picture of a hot air balloon on the outside. After a short drive over to a local farm, the Team from Balloons in Flight “https://www.balloonnj.com/” started to set up the balloon. This gave us a brief time to capture some portraits on the farm. The couple was coached by the experienced chase team on what was going to happen next. Maya and Mike assisted in the balloon cold inflation as the fan poured cool air into the hot air balloon. As the captain ignited the propane, the hot air lifted the balloon into the vertical position for Maya and Mike to enter the hot air balloon basket. As the balloon gained altitude, Mike point down to the “Will You Marry Me” banner and proposed to Maya. A perfect beginning to a new chapter for the couple. “Love is in the Air”
