These two beautiful human beings with their perfect hair just got married a few days ago in the mountains in West Virginia. But in the beginning of this year we had the honor of driving them to the airport in Iceland.
There are just shy of 11,500 km between Reykjavík and Singapore and when people travel that distance for a photoshoot and a proposal and trust us to capture it for them, we can't help but feel very honoured
This wedding represents everything we love about our job. Traveling to distant, off the beaten track places, meeting genuine, awesome people and being accepted by a group of total strangers as one of their own and last but not least absolutely breathtaking skies.
Conor & Katelyn decided to go on a little adventure with us while traveling in Iceland all the way from the States last fall. They braved the Icelandic wind with us for a few hours while we explored the rugged landscape of the Reykjanes peninsula.
Sometimes when you take big risks you get great rewards. Planning an outdoor wedding in Iceland in November is a big risk. Hurricane force winds, sleet, snow, rain, frost or all of the above are just a few of the things that might make standing outside in a wedding dress a bit unpleasant.
"These genes can't leave the country" is what Sæunn said when she first saw Birgir who was living abroad at the time. When he moved back home they started dating and have since then built a life and a family together here in Iceland.
They had decided to travel to Iceland when Hans casually asked if they should get married while they were here. Ricardo agreed and they got married under a beautiful waterfall on the day Iceland celebrates Gay Pride in August.
The ceremony was in the oldest church in Reykjavík and the reception was located in an old theater which in our opinion is one of the most beautiful venues in Reykjavík.
This adventure started in a church just outside Reykjavík and then took us through lava fields, snow, black sand, a lighthouse and even inside a waterfall.
Have you ever laughed for 15 hours straight? No?... neither have we, but Jenny the bride of this wedding we shot in May can tell you all about it. She will go down in the history books for being the happiest bride ever.
