Couples

You’re in Iceland. You’re in love. So naturally, you want photos. But we’re not here to snap a few pretty pictures while you fake-laugh in matching jackets. We’re here to drag your love through moss, mud, wind, and wonder – until it looks like something ancient and alive. This isn’t a shoot. It’s a beautiful ambush. A cinematic gut punch. A reminder that you were here, together, wild and unbothered.

Couple Photography in Iceland

Raw connection. Wild landscapes. Images that feel like memory.

Iceland doesn’t just look like a dream – it moves like one. Its light shifts like a secret. Its landscapes breathe, swell, unravel. Mist clings to mountaintops like memory. Black sand stretches out like an unfinished poem. And the wind? It knows your name.

This place doesn’t offer you pretty. It offers you presence. It strips away the noise until there’s nothing left but you, your love, and the raw, breathless now.

So come as you are – but know this: by the time we’re done, you’ll be dancing barefoot in volcanic dust, laughing like wolves at the edge of the world.

Why Shoot With Us? Because Pretty Isn’t Enough.

You want magic. Mood. Movement. Memories that bite back. We know the way.
Local Knowledge


We will grab you guys by the hand and lead you into the wild parts of Iceland – the ones the tour buses don’t touch, the ones that still whisper secrets when the wind dies down.
This island is stitched into our bones. We’ve spent decades hiking, scouting, and storm-chasing across every region, reading weather patterns like tea leaves and chasing light like it’s our religion. We know when to pivot, where to go when the fog rolls in, and how to find places that feel like they’ve been waiting just for you.

A Unique Skillset

We’re not just photographers. We’re storm chasers with cameras, certified mountain guides who read landscapes like ancient texts and know where the good light hides. Our craft is part art, part instinct, part survival. We’ll drag you up windswept ridges and down into moss-laced canyons if that’s what the moment demands.
You’ll learn things: about Iceland, about your partner, about the way your heart beats when the wild gets too close to ignore. This isn’t just a shoot- it’s a cinematic pilgrimage through a land that bites back.
Quiet Directing

We don’t bark orders or ask for fake laughs. Our style is called Quiet Directing – a subtle, intuitive way of guiding you that dissolves awkwardness and lets your real chemistry take over. No stiff poses, no performative nonsense. Just presence.

It’s about creating space where you can actually feel something, and letting the camera slip quietly into the background while you move, breathe, and be. The result? Images that feel as effortless as they are powerful – and a shoot that feels less like a performance, more like a wild little rite of passage.

You’ll come out of it not just with killer photos, but a sense that you’ve just done something bold and unforgettable. (Because you did.)

How Our Couple Shoots Work

Simple. Wild. Unforgettable.

We know booking a photoshoot in a foreign country can feel like a logistical nightmare. But with us, it’s the opposite. The process is easy, transparent, and – dare we say – fun as hell. From the moment you reach out, we become a team. Here’s how it works:
Before the shoot


From the first email, it’s collaboration mode: on. We’ll lock in a date that works with your travel plans and our shooting schedule. Then we get to the good stuff – mood boards, dream locations, timing, vibes, vision. You bring your ideas, we bring a decade of local expertise and a sixth sense for light and weather. Together, we’ll build a flexible plan that’s both bulletproof and ready to dance with the unexpected.

on the day


This is where the magic happens. We meet up somewhere wild (and probably windy), become instant ride-or-dies, and head out on an adventure. You’ll run, laugh, maybe freeze a little – but mostly you’ll feel wildly alive. The day unfolds organically, and while we have a plan, we let instinct, light, and mood guide us. Expect raw beauty, real emotion, and a hell of a good time.

After the shoot


Once the dust (and sand, and mist) settles, we dive straight into the editing cave. Within a day or two, you’ll get a small batch of preview images – just enough to relive the high and get wildly excited for what’s to come.

Then we carefully curate and edit the full gallery, selecting only the most powerful, emotive frames. No heavy filters, no fluff. Just honest, cinematic storytelling with all the feeling still intact.

Your final images will be delivered in a beautifully designed online Pic-Time gallery, where you can view, download, and share your story with ease. It’s art you can carry in your pocket – or hang on your wall forever.

This Is Not a Date

It’s a windblown, mud-splattered, heart-thumping ode to the love you live every damn day.

    Midnight Sun Skógafoss Engagement // Ellen & Michael

    Midnight Sun Our love for the midnight sun is no secret. This soft golden glow that creates this unreal feeling, like you are walking on a movie set or on the pages of fairytales and for us brings back some childhood memories of being allowed to stay up late and play long into the night. […]
  • Snæfellsnes Engagement // Kevin & Season

    Summer in Iceland is our favourite season, for a short time each year this cold rock in the north Atlantic is transformed into a green oasis. An island filled with all kinds of birds singing not just the lonely croak of the ravens, you can hear the wind rustling through the leaves of trees instead of…

  • Hvalfjörður Engagement // Elen & Jody

    It was a dark and moody winter’s day when we set out to explore the forgotten fjord, Hvalfjörður, with Elen & Jody. On the short journey from Reykjavík we drove through pouring rain and strong gusts of wind but when we reached our destination in the valley at the bottom of the fjord the wind died down and the rain turned into a drizzle.

    Rachel & Jake were completely unfazed, they just made those freezing droplets falling from the skies their new best friends. Fully embraced the weather and laughed and danced in the none stop downpour.

    Arnarstapi Engagement Shoot // Jaspreet & Daljodh

    Meeting up in Snæfellsnes October in Iceland has many faces. One day a storm can rip all the leaves off the trees and the next the grass just sways gently in the breeze under a calm cloud cover. October was definitely showing us it’s gentler side when we met up with Jaspreet and Daljodh at […]
  • Westfjords Engagement // Alexis & Mark

    We are often asked what our favourite place in Iceland is and for the past few years the answer has always been the same: the West Fjords. It’s hard to put into words why, but this pretty remote and funny looking peninsula that juts out of north west Iceland has a special kind of…
