This trip was absolutely life changing for me. We took a helicopter ride to a glacier, hiked through caves, and explored a tropical island surrounded by turquoise waters. We sang Adele at the top of our lungs and fell in love with the sheep covered hillsides.
I genuinely cannot thank Caitlin enough for planning the entire Great Photo Escape for our entire photography group. Thank you also to Ashley + Tyler Herrinton for documenting every waking moment on video. This trip was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

And just when you thought it was over… I may have saved the best for last! This little preview video from the Herrintons captures the beauty of my favorite beach on earth… Piha!
I’m missing that gorgeous coastline so much. Isn’t the footage incredible? Tyler & Ashley did an amazing job. I can’t wait to see more!
