Beau and Erica came all the way to Iceland after years of marriage and a few kids, from Ohio to renew their vows under a waterfall in gale force winds. Iceland in the fall has some of the prettiest weather but also some of the craziest so there is no way of knowing what you are going to get.
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.
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.
Sometimes when you take big risks you get great rewards. Planning an outdoor wedding in Iceland in November is a big risk. Hurricane force winds, sleet, snow, rain, frost or all of the above are just a few of the things that might make standing outside in a wedding dress a bit unpleasant.
This adventure started in a church just outside Reykjavík and then took us through lava fields, snow, black sand, a lighthouse and even inside a waterfall.
