Two-Day Magical and Private Iceland Elopement with Waterfalls, Fjords, and Picnic | Iceland Elopement Photographer and Specialist

There’s something so special about an elopement in Iceland that is just the couple, in a private and meaningful ceremony, overlooking a beautiful fjord.
I started photographing weddings almost 20 years ago (what, how) and I’ve been involved in my fair share of wedding days. Over 300, actually. I’ve been a part of weddings with 650 guests, down to just the usual 150 to 200 guests. I’ve been side-by-side with the couples in every type of wedding from the super-luxury where the flowers alone cost over 6-figures (yes, over $100,000 on flowers), to micro-weddings in quirky breweries, to weddings in theme parks.
