Rangefinder Rising Stars 2020

We were awarded the prestigious Rangefinder Rising Stars of Wedding Photography 2020 award. This came at the exactly right time for us, when we needed a pick me up the most.

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…

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.

Let's keep the south coast classics going. Every time we visit this iconic place our images become blurrier, more out of focus and with more water droplets on the lens. Instead of always shooting the same scene in the same way we try to photograph
Reynisfjara conditions on point. That fall light in Iceland is hard to beat. But as we like to be honest, this is a tranquil moment in a sea of people, we were surrounded by tourists on all sides and just waited until none of them where in the frame.
Ink, landscapes and orange sunsets in the east. It never ceases to amaze us how deep and profound our short exchanges with our couples can be. But being in a creative flow together in some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world will do that to
