There was something in the effortless movements of Vera & Kevin combined with the dramatic light and surroundings that made this whole evening we spent with them so cinematic, even poetic at times…
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.

We learned a long time ago that there is no use in getting annoyed by the weather you just have to embrace what ever the weather gods throw your way and work with it. And that brings us back to Belinda and Terry. They embraced all the weather they got on their wedding day and they got it all. From gale force winds and rain up in the mountains to pockets of calm down by the ocean.
We headed out just before sunset to get the best light and made a quick stop by a lake with crazy rock formations that must have been trolls in their past life, then we drove past lava fields and sulphur smelling hot springs and finally found our selves driving along a sketchy road we had never been down before.
We hiked a hill to check out a waterfall, jumped on some rocks at the beach, ate fish soup at the tiniest of restaurants and finally played in some puddles at sunset.
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.
