As a wedding photographer, it's always an honor to be able to capture the special moments of friends, but it's even more special when that friend is someone you've known for most of your life. That was the case for me, as I had the pleasure of traveling to Iceland to photograph the elopement of my friend Ben and his bride, Lily.
Location scouting is a huge part of what we do as adventure elopement photographers, and we help our couples find the perfect location for their special day. When Lily sent me a full on excel sheet with detailed locations and inspiration for her elopement, I knew we were gonna be best friends. When we all met up in Iceland on the morning of their adventure elopement, I could already feel the excitement in the air.
The day started off with the couple getting ready in a beautiful Airbnb that showcased the true beauty of Iceland with glass walls on the front of the home overlooking a waterfall. Then we went to their ceremony location where the clouds stopped raining for the entire ceremony, the sun was shining on them. It was the perfect timing. Afterward, we ventured off to the various locations around Iceland, taking advantage of the unique and stunning landscapes that the country has to offer. We traveled to Skogafoss, Kvernufoss, Diamond Beach, and Yoda Cave to name a few.
The couple's love for each other and the natural beauty of Iceland combined to create some truly magical moments that we were able to capture. Here is their story told through our photography.
