Our Queenstown Getaway!

At Waitangi weekend we shot away for the long weekend to Queenstown for our five year wedding anniversary! A weekend to celebrate life together, to unwind and relax, to sleep in and stay up late, to read books and take walks.

These mini-getaways are something we've always done - to re-charge and make time for each other with no distractions. Not just for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries, but simply whenever we need it.
​If you can't remember the last time you got away for a weekend & just relaxed (no chores, no to-do lists - just simply breathing & being) I thoroughly recommend you make the time for it & put it in your calendar now. It doesn't have to be an extravagance - a bottle of wine & a good book at the family bach is perfect! It's just plain good for the soul.

We stayed out at the Millbrook Resort, which incidentally would be a stunning wedding venue to photograph at (just throwing a blatant hint out there)! This place has become our favourite spot. We love staying here, especially in winter, because it's such a picturesque, quiet resort with a laid-back vibe.

You seriously can't take a photographer anywhere! They're shamelessly selfie obsessed ;-)

I'm not really selfie obsessed, but I love mirrors! (Yeah that does sound all kinds of vain now that I think about it).

I took Matt to Gibbston Valley Winery to do the cave tour. Afterwards he bought himself a bottle of wine!!!       I know, I am as shocked as you are! I might have converted him over to the dark side!

You know what I said about not being able to take a photographer anywhere...I'm so lucky for Matt's patience. He puts up with SO much haha including letting me get the tripod & timer out so we can get a nice photo together!

Okay and then one more...

Queenstown you were wonderful. I'm dreaming of being back there right now!
