03:46This is so peaceful
03:48I don't want to leave here
03:50You're so deep
03:51As we keep going further into the forest this is going to get much better
03:55Oh my gosh he's going to show us hobbits
03:57I just know it
03:57Hobbits and orcs it is
03:59What?
03:59Let's see what we have for you
04:01What?
04:01Follow me this way again
04:11What's your favourite location?
04:13My favourite location is Isengard
04:15In the Paradise Valley
04:16And that is going to take you today
04:20Isengard
04:23Get ready for what we like to call
04:25The Million Dollar View guys
04:27And in 3, 2, 1
04:30Look at that
04:36Look at that
04:38David
04:38Look at the colours of those
04:40This can't be real
04:41Oh
04:42It is magnificent isn't it?
04:44Oh my gosh
04:45That is the urns log glacier
04:47That's Mount Alfred
04:48And we are going in the dark valley
04:49Right in between those two mountains today
04:52Oh cool
04:52Dark alley
04:53Can we go on that island?
04:55You can actually kayak to these islands if you want to
04:57And even do an overnight trip on these islands
05:00Oh this hair is looking good in this wind
05:03Look at the
05:03Oh sheep
05:05Don't lose the sheep
05:08Holy sheep
05:09And you also got the big Greenstone River
05:12Now this was used in Lord of the Rings
05:14Yeah
05:15At River Anduin
05:16Oh
05:17I remember
05:18River Anduin is made of 5 different major New Zealand rivers
05:22The Greenstone is one of these rivers
05:24Wow
05:25This is amazing
05:26Do you remember when Aragon comes floating in a river?
05:29Yes I do
05:30Before Brago his horse pulls him out
05:32That is the exact river you are looking at today
05:40Alright
05:41Alright
05:41Thank you
05:42Alright not a problem
05:43Come on here this way
05:44And we will head on further
05:45Look at the colour of the water
05:46I know it's perfect
06:00Alright guys this is where we are going to jump out
06:04This is where the fun begins
06:06We hopped out of the Jeep
06:08And headed into the forest for some snacks and hot cocoa
06:10Imagine how it would have been for the orcs
06:14And the likes of the Mary and Pippin running through this forest
06:17With all these roots
06:18I know
06:19Up and down you know
06:20They gotta have really good running shoes
06:21Absolutely
06:22If you remember very well
06:24They actually had massive feet
06:26They were hobbits
06:27Yes
06:28They had really gnarly hairy feet
06:31Exactly
06:31So running wearing those around here
06:33I'm not sure if it was the best idea
06:36But they somehow managed to do it
06:38I saw a giant spider when I was picking mushrooms
06:41And I was so scared I screamed and I ran out of the forest
06:45Spiders are nice to look at
06:47Spiders or orcs
06:48I don't like them
06:49Orcs are another thing that you should be afraid of
06:51Yes
06:52Oh this would be a great day
06:53The good thing is
06:54I'm very professional to tackle orcs
06:58So there's one coming around
06:59Don't worry
07:00You're very nice and safe with me
07:01Oh my gosh
07:02We should just bring them back home with us
07:04If you have somebody in an orc costume to come out and scare us
07:07Don't do that
07:08Okay
07:09Is there someone coming out in an orc costume that I should be aware of?
07:14Yeah
07:14Yeah
07:14Not on our side
07:15But I just wanted to let you know
07:17I didn't bring a change of underwear
07:18Don't scare me
07:19Don't scare me
07:20Don't scare me
07:21So this is the special hot chocolate
07:22Oh thank you
07:24There you go
07:25Oh my god thank you
07:26Not a problem
07:28What I'm going to do is I'm going to put these over here
07:31Shall we cheers?
07:32Yes absolutely
07:33Cheers
07:33This is a Lord of the Rings cheers
07:34How do we cheers in Lord of the Rings style?
07:37Umm
07:38I don't know
07:39You guys come up with something
07:40Do a golem impression and then do cheers
07:42Maybe in golem voice
07:47Ready? One, two, three
07:48You could say this is my precious
07:49One, two, three
07:51Now look all your jewelry's gone
07:52There you go
08:13Before our final stop we checked out the scenery of where the two towers were filmed
08:19Come on guys
08:20Hey

08:31Now have a look at this
08:32Holy crap
08:33This is the gorgeous paradise valley
08:36Okay
08:36And if you know Lord of the Rings and I know you know it very well
08:39Yes
08:39This is Isengard
08:41Isengard
08:41This is exactly where it was
08:43And the Dart River back there is actually River Isen in Lord of the Rings
08:48Oh my goodness
08:49And you guys are keen adventurers
08:50You said to me something about walking

09:51I hope you guys had a nice morning
09:53We had such a great time
09:55Yeah
09:55And the sun looks beautiful
09:57You're awesome
09:57What are we going to do without you?
09:59I think these photographers will take care of you from now on
10:01Oh my gosh
10:02Brian, Sean
10:03Hey

10:10Thank you
10:11Take care
10:13Hey what's up?
10:14Oh my goodness
10:15Welcome to New Zealand
10:16You ready to start getting ready for the shoot?
10:18Yeah
10:19Yeah
10:20What are we doing today?
10:21We're doing a few horse shots and
10:23Yeah we're going to start over here with the horses and nails
10:26That's going to be our master shot
10:27Then we're going to go over the hill on the opposite side
10:31And there's a pond there
10:32It's a nice reflection pond
10:34Cool
10:34Alright let's do this
10:35Let's go
10:37After our Nomad Safaris tour
10:39It was time to get to work
10:42Queenstown is gorgeous
10:44I knew it would be the perfect location for my Ever Eden photo shoot
10:48Ever Eden is a jewelry line I created with Glam House
10:51And the first collection was inspired by Joan of Arc
10:59Josh and Brian who oversee the creative for Glam House
11:02Came out to New Zealand for the photo shoot
11:04We didn't realize when we chose to shoot photos here
11:07That we would be battling the elements
11:09And we just found out that it gets pretty windy up here in Queenstown
11:20Getting photos taken can be a lot of fun
11:23But it's also a lot of work
11:25The crew has to set up the right lighting in order to take the perfect shots
11:29And sometimes it can take a lot of time
11:35I was really happy that Davin was down to help with the hair
11:40All of this is like a dream come true
11:42And to top it off
11:43I get to work with horses
11:53What an amazing day
11:54Thank you Nomad Safari
11:56For the fabulous tour
11:57And to the Glam House crew
11:59For all their hard work
12:00Alright that's a wrap
12:01That's right
12:04Alright let's go get some hot chocolate
12:06Yeah absolutely
12:07Congratulations
12:08Thanks everyone
12:09Thanks
12:10Woo
