Iceland Wedding Photographer
Iceland has a landscape like no other! With lush green hills, black beaches and moody skies it is no wonder so many people look to head over here to elope! An adventurous love story in one of the most romantic and dynamic landscapes. A lot of our plans changed which is one of the most exciting things with an adventure elopement. It means going with the flow and getting down and dirty with the weather! We had rain, wind and super cold temperatures. We had short windows of times for each location and the changing weather conditions making things ever the more fun! As a Destination Wedding photographer Iceland was always high on my list of places I wanted to go- So I was thrilled to be able to tick this location off my wish list!
Black church of Budir ceremony
The elopement at the famous black church of Budir followed by waterfalls, the plane ruins and black beaches this was an adventure like no other! Like many of the elopements where couples look to book a photographer and just elope with just the two of them we kept this styling simple. With a boho dress, ice queen style headpiece and dried flower boutique with cooler tones to match the landscape. When it came to deciding where to hold the cermeony it really was on the vision board again and again.
Wedding photos at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Solheimasandur Plane Wreck
Once the vows was exchanged, it was then time to head out onto the adventure sessions. First we were scheduled to head to over to the waterfalls and plane wreck for day 2. As these areas are in different locations it was not possible to do everything in one day without risking making everyone super tired. So it was time to head over to the next area, have some good food and get a good night sleep for an early start for a AM session by the plane and the waterfalls. We were so lucky to get this quiet before a tour group arrived! This is why it is so important to factor in the right times of days for locations you had in mind and work with your photographer and tour guide if you have one to create the best schedule for you.
Wedding photos at the black beach and blue lagoon
To end the trip, the last spots on our tour was the black beach and a relaxing trip to the blue lagoon to really unwind and have some fun. We took a few photos at the start of the time slot but then allowed everyone to relax. It is so interesting that each place we went to it changes weather, from rain, to clouds, to sun! Even in the space of 10 minutes apart.
