Elopements

Elope in Iceland. Where the rules end, and the real story begins.Run from the noise. Toward the cliffs, the wind, the wild unknown. This isn’t just a wedding day – it’s a full-body yes to adventure, intimacy, and a love story written in lava, moss, and myth. We’ll help you shape the chaos into something unforgettable: a cinematic experience that’s honest, unscripted, and entirely yours. No noise. No crowds. Just the two of you, the land, and a damn good reason to howl.

For Lovers Who’d Rather Run Wild Than Walk an Aisle

This Isn’t Just a Wedding. It’s a Wild Rebellion in Disguise.
Eloping in Iceland means throwing tradition to the wind – literally. It’s choosing thundering waterfalls over ballrooms, black sand under your boots instead of confetti in your hair, and vows whispered into the roar of the wild rather than shouted over a dinner party playlist. This island isn’t just beautiful – it’s alive. And when you stand in the heart of it, side by side, drenched in mist and meaning, you’ll feel it: this is how love is supposed to begin.

Scroll on, wild hearts…
We’re just getting started. Below, you’ll find everything you need to turn your Iceland elopement from a distant daydream into a living, breathing, windswept reality.

Thinking about eloping in Iceland but don’t know where to start?

We’ve poured a decade of local expertise and raw experience into this ultimate guide – a one-stop roadmap for planning the wildest, most unforgettable adventure of your life.

Not Your Average Iceland Elopement Photographers

Feral hearts. Real connection. No staged nonsense.
Locals, Not Tourists

We don’t just know Iceland. We are Iceland – born of its storms, shaped by its silence. We’ve run through these landscapes in every kind of weather, read the clouds like scripture, and whispered love stories into the moss.

For over a decade, we’ve led couples into the wild, not with maps and manuals, but with instinct, grit, and the kind of know-how you only earn by dancing with the elements. If you want tame, look elsewhere. If you want raw, unfiltered magic – you’ve found your guides.

Instinct & Craft
We don’t just show up with cameras – we arrive with a vision, a plan, and a sixth sense for turning fleeting moments into lasting art. Your elopement deserves more than a checklist. It deserves care, fire, and storytelling that runs deeper than the surface.

With years of experience and a lifetime on this island, we’ve learned to read the skies, dodge the crowds, and chase the light like something half-wild and half-wise. The weather here moves fast, but so do we. Plans shift, winds howl, and we adjust – not just to survive the chaos, but to make art out of it.

Because when you look back on this day, we want you to remember more than how it looked. We want you to remember how it felt.
Wild Ease
We call it Quiet Directing. But it’s less about direction, and more about disarming the noise.

No stiff posing. No fake smiles. Just space – space to be yourselves, to let the walls drop and the truth rise. You don’t need to know how to act in front of a camera. You just need to show up, together, open.

We’ll guide you through windswept cliffs and silent valleys, tuning into your energy and letting the landscape and light shape the rhythm of the day. The result? Images that feel effortless. Honest. Cinematic in a way only real life can be.

By the time it’s over, it won’t feel like a photoshoot. It’ll feel like a story you lived through – wild, grounding, and unforgettable.

Your Wild Blueprint

The plan is loose, the feeling is real.
Here’s how we shape the chaos into magic.
Plotting the Myth

From the second your message lands in our inbox, we’re a team. First, we lock in a date that works with your travel plans and our shooting schedule. Then comes the fun part – dream-weaving. Together, we’ll explore ideas, moods, location vibes, and timelines. You’ll have full access to our years of Icelandic know-how – seasonal rhythms, shifting weather, and hidden gems – so we can create a rock-solid yet wildly flexible plan for your day.

Into the Wild

When you arrive in Iceland, we’ll meet up in person – part planning, part friendship ritual. Because by the time your elopement day rolls around, it shouldn’t feel like strangers tagging along with cameras. It should feel like you’re off on an adventure with friends who just happen to be artists.

And then… the day itself. Expect weather. Expect laughter. Expect your heart to feel ten sizes too big for your chest. We’ll hike, wander, chase the light, and embrace whatever chaos the landscape throws at us. Every moment captured will be real – alive, honest, and uniquely yours.

Story in the Bones

Afterwards, we take those moments and shape them into story. We don’t just edit images – we breathe feeling into them. You’ll receive a gallery that’s rich with emotion, raw beauty, and everything your memory might’ve missed. Delivered in a stunning online gallery, ready to relive, frame, or send to the people who matter most.

    Adventurous Spring Elopement in the Mountains of Þórsmörk

    A day filled to the brim with adventure and time spent out in nature. Getting ready in a glass house with the immense open sky above you. Hoping into the trucks to head into a valley in the highlands that requires multiple river crossings and gnarly dirt roads to get to. Hiking up a mountain side to your ceremony spot over looking the canyons and mountains all around you.

    Ice Cave Elopement // Tarsi & Brian

    This is about as far from a conventional wedding as possible. Waking up before sunrise and get all dressed up. Start the day with a romantic walk on top of a 120m high sea cliff at sunrise. Jump into a super jeep that hurtles you through a moon like, black sand desert towards an outlet […]
  • West Iceland Elopement // Kaitlyn & Cory

    December. The time of year Iceland is shrouded in darkness. Violent storms come raging in from the open ocean. Mountain passes fill up with snow. All the migrating birds have left. The island becomes silent. The perfect month for an adventurous elopement…

    South Coast Summer Elopement

    Here is a little love story in the middle of a pandemic. It takes us all the way from south of Spain in a lockdown to wandering freely around lava fields just below the arctic circle.

    Westfjords Midnight Sun Elopement

    This late night & intimate elopement in the Westfjords took place in early summer, so early in fact that this far in the north there was still snow in the mountain passes and the flowers in the remote fjords were just waking up…

  • Fjaðrárgljúfur Elopement // Caitlin & Dillon

    This winter elopement takes you on a journey from an old, stylish apartment close to down town Reykjavík through the wintery landscapes of the south coast. Visiting the frozen canyon of Fjaðrárgljúfur, exchanging vows and rings in the largest lava flow in recorded history…

Ready to Ditch the Rulebook?

The mountains don’t care about seating charts. The wind has no patience for tradition.

You’ve made it this far. Through the chaos, the curiosity, the pull of something wilder. So what now?

Now, you fill out that form and we make this real.

Not just an elopement. A fever dream in motion. Vows shouted into the wind. Boots muddy. Hair tangled. Hearts louder than the waterfalls.

We’ll help you find the place. We’ll help you write the myth. We’ll bring the cameras. You bring the fire.

Let’s make your love feel like folklore.
