Still reeling from our trip to Aotearoa, so many incredible places and memories we made 💍 ❤️
Still can’t over how beautiful Fiordland National park is - Doubtful sound is definitely on the cards for the next visit!
Stay tuned for a new blog post on ‘the best things to do in Queenstown’ coming soon 🤫
Finallyyy getting around to sharing photos and videos from our time here in Aotearoa so far - to say we’ve found our new favourite country is, accurate!
The first week we spent most of it in #fiordlandnationalpark exploring Milford sounds and the surrounding regions and having friendly chats with a couple of cheeky Kea’s. Is New Zealand not your favourite travel destination?
📍 Fiordlands has the wettest climate in all of NZ
- is listed unofficially as the 8th wonder of the world and a UNESCO world heritage site Te Wāhipounamu
- the landscape changes from greenstone fiords to over 10,000 waterfalls cascading down the mountain side!
🚙 To get here you will first have to take the Southern scenic route from Queenstown for 2.5 hours to Te Anau, and onwards through to Milford along the Milford highway for another 2 hours or so.
Heya! Happy Easter friends!
It’s been a hot minute since we shared anything on Instagram..
6 months to be exact. We needed to recharge the batteries and like everyone life gets real hectic. But whilst @laura.maryg parents we’re down visiting from Canada after nearly 2 years (thanks covid) we took a road trip back to one of our favourite spots in Australia.
@southaustralia is pure magic and just beautiful everytime we visit, especially when we end up in places like @downtherabbitholewines
📍DTRH is tucked away in the Mclaren Vale wine region of the @mclarenvaleandfleurieucoast roughly 1 hours drive south of Adelaide. It’s only one of many incredible things to do down here, the rest of which you can read in our blog post with the link in our stories ❤️
Have a great start to the week!

A little throwback to days gone by when travel was a thing for us and we had insane fun road tripping through the @eyrepeninsula
We’re still stuck in a fairly hardcore lockdown in Melbourne, more than 300 days of watching the world travel around. Hopefully this is us shortly but for now, we’ll just reminisce on our travels through South Australia
Remember that time the full moon rose above the Ponte Vecchio in Florence just as a old boat paddled it’s way across the Arno River just at golden hour?
We do.

This is Bariloche, Argentina. From memory we didn’t love being here - and then I look back at these photos of the mountains and kick myself at how beautiful it actually was.
And then I remember why we didn’t love it - we had our passports stolen on the overnight bus ride here. It was the first 3 weeks of the trip and we’d just left Patagonia only to realise we were citizens without documents, and it changed the course of our trip ultimately.
But bugger I miss the mountains

About time we started posting exactly what we want on here.
Too much curation and not enough creative expression.
This collection of photos were taken all with the @fujifilmxseriesnz XT2 in the south central region of Tam Coc, Vietnam.
There’s a bigger story to our time here. We were meant to fly to the north straight after and do a motorbike ride through the mountains when Laura get struck down with Dengue Fever, realll bad. Down and out for a solid 10 days.
Getting back to the photo..I didn’t need to edit these much at all....the colour science & resolution of the images speak for themselves. That’s what photography should be..easy.
Where’s your favourite part of Vietnam?
Still one of my favourite photos.
Story time - a 4am hike up Pedra Bonita mountain in Rio De Janeiro in pitch black led us to the foothills of Christo de rendetor.
What followed was something we will never forget- a thunderstorm right above that seemed so Greek mythology like that we assumed Zeus himself would descended from above.
A morning hike I’ll never forget
Gonna throw back to mid 2019 in Peru, climbing Salkanty mountain with a fantastic crew!
Some parts of the hike were pretty gruelling, reaching the top at 4215m it was not a pleasant little stint!
Travelling is so far removed for a lot of the world particularly Australia right now, but we have so many opportunities that we are grateful for and we know there are plenty around the corner!
The first photo was shot at Dead woman’s pass on top of Salkanty mountain, the rest are a collection of images from the hike, both from the way up through tiny remote villages scattered along the mountain side, to arriving at Macchu Picchu.

The lighting wasn’t the greatest but sometimes you just gotta make the most of the situation and get creative with light ⛅️
Sometimes getting creative and thinking outside of “just light” can tell a different story and entice the viewers eye, like long exposures.
Any movement of water can give depth to an image, like this long exposure of the 12 Apostles in Port Campbell National park.
Then a few sneaky shots of the winding great ocean road, and Laura soaking in the fleeting rays of the sun.
Planted in 1936 by Victorian foresters for experimental purposes, scientifically named Sequoia Sempervirens..(ever-green in Latin) they are amongst the tallest trees in the world, and Victoria has two plantations across the state!
Who is more than excited for lockdown 5.0 to finally be over and start getting back out in nature and rediscovering the wild ❤️🤞🙏
Still sending our love to other states doing it tough at the moment. Hang in there
Where’s the first place you’d love to go ?
