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…

A moment in the winter sun and chill breeze in Snæfellsnes peninsula this past winter. When asked we always say that summer is our favourite season but every time that winter light hits it melts our hearts. Thank you for your trust @lauren.__
A glacier hike in torrential rain? Not for the faint of heart. But Madison & Matt did it with a giant smile on their faces. These guys possess a true adventurer heart, taking things as they come and embracing the elements head on. Sometimes noth
