When Melbourne wedding photographer @georgiawiggs⁠ and her wife, Cat, packed their wedding gowns for their New Zealand South Island honeymoon, they knew adventure was waiting, but nothing could prepare them for the moments that would take their breath away.⁠ ⁠ From kayaking at sunrise in Milford Sound to landing on a glacier at Franz Josef, and of course, slipping back into their gowns for portraits among the most stunning backdrops imaginable.⁠ ⁠ Their trip is a beautiful reminder that honeymoons don’t have to be rushed or perfect. It’s the still mornings, slow hikes, and spontaneous moments that you’ll treasure forever.⁠ ⁠ Ready for a little travel and love story magic?
