Exploring The Eastfjords: A Hidden Gem For Your Iceland Elopement
Fjords, Icelandic reindeer, mountains, waterfalls
When people think of eloping in Iceland, most picture the South Coast – a beautiful yet incredibly overcrowded area that everyone and their grandmother visit when they come here. As local elopement photographers, we’re trying really hard to break this pattern, because Iceland has so much more to offer, and a lot of remote areas are unfairly overlooked.
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.
Tucked between towering mountains and the Arctic Sea, the Eastfjords are truly one of Iceland’s best-kept secrets. Imagine peaceful fishing villages, misty fjords, winding coastal roads, wild reindeer, and scenery that feels like you’ve stepped into another world.
The Eastfjords are ideal for couples planning a full day or a multi-day elopement, a pre- or post-wedding adventure, or simply wanting to see a side of Iceland most visitors skip. Ready to get inspired? Let’s go!
Our journey through the Eastfjords was quiet, beautiful and deeply moving – exactly the kind of feeling so many of our couples seek when they choose to elope in Iceland. This part of the country may not be on every travel guide’s “must-see” list, but it’s one of the reasons that makes it so special.
If you’re dreaming of an intimate, off-the-beaten-path elopement, the Eastfjords might be the perfect place for your story to unfold.
