BellaMaven.ZakasPhotography.mountains2_Mountains2_Mountains2.png

Local Iceland Elopement
Photographer & Planner

Hand-crafted, custom Iceland elopements & photography adventures designed for you.

For those eloping who want a down to earth adventure in secluded Iceland locations and to be consumed by magical Icelandic landscapes — with a custom-built, exploration-forward Iceland elopement & adventure.

 
 
Private Iceland elopement in the Highland next to a secret and secluded waterfall

You’re coming to Iceland to elope, because it’s pure magic — and as an Iceland local obsessed with my home, I totally get why.

So, why would you not have an Iceland elopement day that’s:

  • Tailor-made, hand-picked locations for you instead of the most crowded,

  • A timeline built to explore instead of rushing you around all day,

  • Epic AF photos of your elf-like storybook day, (Steph Zakas is a multiple award winning photographer who has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment)

  • With a photographer and planner who’s grounded, funny (so they say), and knows how to get you to forget you feel ‘awkward’ in front of a camera instead of someone you meet day of?

But, you lead a busy life so trying to plan your Iceland elopement or adventure, with lesser-known locations, and pulling the elopement day pieces together is a lot— especially with so much conflicting information out there.

I’m happy to say, you can officially stop sifting though mountains of questionable Reddit threads, overwhelming Google advice, and potentially AI Instagram content— you’re officially now taken care of.

Offering Iceland elopements, Iceland secret marriage proposals, and Iceland photography experiences
for the nature-obsessed.

 

Iceland is honestly the best place on the planet, especially to say your vows & elope—

As a true Iceland local, not someone who has only visited— Iceland is my home that I love dearly.

One of the best things in the world is being able to share this with you to create a truly authentic-to-Iceland and unique elopement day for those who:

✨ Are quirky, down-to-earth, and offbeat.
✨ Want to pair the perfect locations to match the day they envision.
✨ Want guidance on how to explore Iceland without damaging it or themselves. (Like, where should you stand when around geothermal activity?)
✨ Are introverted or maybe feel awkward in front of the camera, so they want gentle guidance and someone they feel they’ve known for-ev-ver.

This experience for your Iceland elopement is not only custom, but has every detail thought out from nuts to bolts from the perspective and knowledge of a local photographer & planner.

 

As your Iceland elopement Yoda photographer & planner
- I can help you.

An experience designed from your vision and vibe by leveraging my 20 years experience in documenting & planning weddings, filmmaking, and producing background—

You can feel excited and at ease planning this important milestone in another country with road names as long as you are tall.

And if you’re not having an Iceland Elopement, but are looking for an epic Iceland adventure photography experience to get engaged, adventure with your partner, or for personal branding— I can help, contact to start.

Exploring Iceland’s lesser visited, secluded, and awe-inspiring areas for your elopement adventure —

While taking the most natural photos and leaving all pressures behind to put your entire elopement experience front and center is the name of the game.

+ You are coming to Iceland to elope to avoid the crowds, so if it’s got a Welcome Center and crowds to weave through, we aren’t going.

+ You need someone who is attentive, present, and is like a weird go-to Iceland search engine that has all of the answers to all of your Iceland questions — about your Iceland Elopement or traveling to Iceland. (Even the random questions you have about the geology, landscapes, culture, and why there are practically no trees in Iceland.)

+ You lead a busy life so you don’t want to be overwhelmed by all of the conflicting information about Iceland — you just want someone to help you do this as stress-free as possible. This service spoon feeds you what you need from start to finish.

+ You want someone else who’s quirky, a little weird, encourages you to be yourself —someone you feel like you’ve known for ages.

+ Your ideal type of elopement day is being immersed in the most amazing landscapes, having the space in your timeline to explore, and keeping it low-key.

 

I’ve got good news — that’s exactly what we’ll do, together, for your Iceland Elopement & adventure experience.

Steph (of Zakas Photography) was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She made it incredibly easy to plan a wedding 3,000 miles away. She was super responsive to any and all questions… On our wedding adventure photos she was so much fun to be with, we had a blast… We had a great time with her, she’s an excellent tour guide and even better photographer, she is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! I couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect for the job than her to capture these beautiful memories for us!

Where do we begin?! After our initial phone call with Steph all we knew is that we were getting married in Iceland and we were having Steph (of Zakas Photography) as our photographer and no one else — we didn’t know what to do, what to pack, or how it even works. Steph guided us through the whole process little by little step by step. The thing I stressed about the most was if I needed to scrub the dirt of my shoes before hand. 😂

On our elopement day, a storm rolled in 24 hours before and the weather was very spicy! Steph worked with the punches and we got amazing photos! 10/10 would recommend booking with Steph… 💕

Hi, I’m STEPH!

My clients call me their Iceland Elopement Yoda— AKA your friend in Iceland showing you my home (and fave locations).

 

YOU’LL HAVE AN Iceland ADVENTURE PLANNER, DAY OF elopement ADVENTURE COORDINATOR, AND (LOTS-O-AWARDS WINNING) elopement PHOTOGRAPHER To guide you every step of the way.

I’m located in Reykjavík full-time as an American immigrant. I’m the kind of person that feels like you’ve known them for forever, will probably throw out a dad joke, and is OBSESSED with Iceland’s locations and culture. (My Icelandic husband is always giving me the insider scoop.)

So, if you’re the kind of person who wants to hear about how to hike in Iceland while leaving no damage, why you always see 3 sheep together, and how to explore without falling through a moss-covered crevasse maybe never to be seen again— I’m ya girl.

And, as a nerd with a film degree & work in filming locations when I’m not photographing— I may even take you to spots used here for film & TV shows.

As someone who has never fit in with the crowds, I will never make you feel like you need to be a certain way or have your experience fit into any boxes. I’ll never make you pick your adventure out of a pre-made list.

I’m here to help you feel comfortable, understood, and to show you the locations you daydream of being in while offering my 20 years of experience as a professional photographer from working with celebrities in NYC to creating these bespoke experiences for you.

OH, AND GIVING AWAY ALL MY FAVORITE iceland local insider tips

For your Iceland elopement, secret marriage proposal, or adventure photography experience.

 
 

just started your Iceland elopement planning?

Not quite ready to reach out yet?

Maybe you just got engaged.
Or, you’re still researching if an Iceland Elopement is right for you.
Or, perhaps you’re more elopement-curious than elopement-committed.

Here are a few steps to know you’re ready to reach out and get started:

1- You’re sure you want to elope with just you two or a tiny handful of guests.

2- you would love nothing more than to start moving forward and check things off as ‘done’ on your planning list.

3- you have the month you want to elope set and you’re just looking for the date on availability.

If you’re not ready to start knocking off that Iceland Elopement planning list yet- that’s ok.

Here are a bunch of Iceland Elopement Planning resources that will give you lots of answers to hard-to-figure-out questions.

 AS AN ICELAND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER, planner, and expert

I offer you this space in time to:

- nerd out with how much you love each other,
- to easily navigate all of the steps of your elopement,
- and to show you the best tattoo or coffee shops
while you’re here.

Eloping outside of Iceland and love what you see?

I’ve been known a time or two to leave this little rock in the North Atlantic to document adventures.

If you’re planning an elopement outside of Iceland, I’ve got you, too!

Maybe a hiking elopement in Iceland, a castle elopement in Scotland, a mountain top elopement in Norway, or a nature-centered wedding anywhere in the world- I’m here to help you and make you feel like you’ve been taken care of every step of the way.

I take on very few travel elopements these days as I try to be more environmentally friendly to this Earth I love so much.

If I’ll be traveling where you’re eloping, I’ll make your custom elopement there, too.

 
 
 

Your wedding isn’t an event to get through.
It’s a day to be in your element and revel in.

 
 

One that marks the beginning of the memoir you’re writing together.

Think about the original connection that brought the two of you together. What if your wedding represented how that felt?

If honoring a tradition like a big wedding feels like that’s for other couples then let’s plan one that embodies your entire relationship.

Let’s plan you an iceland elopement that honors the love you’ve found and fostered.

Let’s create a day centered around your relationship, your love, and celebrate this love that’s brought you to this decision- while surrounded by beautiful icelandic landscapes.
