If there’s one thing you can count on in Iceland, it’s that the weather has a mind of its own. But rain doesn’t have to mean a ruined wedding day. In fact, it adds a touch of something wild and wonderful – a moody atmosphere and drama that no clear sky could ever recreate.
If you’re dreaming of solitude, raw beauty, and landscapes untouched by tourist infrastructure, the Eastfjords might just steal your heart. They surely stole ours, and ever since we documented our first adventure in this region last summer, we’ve been itching to go back.
Shelbi and Shawn jokingly called Iceland their second home. They visited multiple times, got engaged here, and so when the time came to make it official, an elopement on a remote black sand beach felt right. These two kept things beautifully simple – no extravagant decorations or catering, no designated hair & make up artist, no flowers. Instead, they focused on what mattered the most..
When Madison and Stefan first reached out, a lot was already set in motion. They had visited Iceland a year prior, had their engagement session on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and were absolutely set on returning to say ‘I do’ in the same breathtaking place. But what really made my heart skip a beat was Madison’s idea to include Icelandic horses in their day..
Some places in the world just feel unreal, like they belong to another time, or even another planet. The Highlands of Iceland are one of those places.

But for the right couple, wanting to escape the tourist crowds and embark on a crazy adventure, they hold an irresistible magic.
We’ll be honest, there’s nothing we love more than intimate, ‘just the two of us’ elopements. With no distractions, no limitations, and no rules to follow, you’re free to craft a day that’s entirely your own, filled with moments that truly reflect your dreams and desires. Alli and Brian embraced this wholeheartedly, and with out help they created a day that was all about their love and celebration..
Prepare to fall head over heels for the enchanting allure of Iceland’s Westfjords – a region that has stolen our hearts and is sure to steal yours too! Nestled in the remote northwest corner of Iceland, this hidden gem beckons with its breathtaking landscapes…
Eloping in late autumn is always a gamble, yet for those who are courageous enough to withstand harsh winter-like conditions, the weather may make an exception once in a while. And even if the temperatures still linger around +5° C (41° F), the low hanging sun brings a bit of warmth, and creates the most beautiful soft golden hour light..
Full day elopements are undoubtedly our favorites. Why? Simple! There is so much you can do with 8-12 hours on your hands! Starting with traditional “getting ready” and “first look” coverage, something that can be especially precious when your family is involved…
It’s no secret that photographers favor golden hour above all – the period of daytime just before the sun goes up (or down), when the light is soft and incredibly beautiful. The quality of light has a significant impact on the visual outcome of your elopement photography..
