Photographer in Iceland - Wedding Elopement Engagement

I'll create you better photos than any travel-bloggers have. I'll capture the atmosphere of the wedding party and bring you back there every time you look at the pictures. Let's have fun and make memories!

I work with couples: elopement, pre wedding, wedding, engagement photo shootings - what I do best.
On my instagram by hashtag #notcake_iceland you can find fresh shots from Iceland and more wedding shots are by #notcake_wedding.

Iceland is one of the most unusual and beautiful places in the World. I am really in love with Iceland and so you too, cause choose this place for your elopement wedding. I will be glad to photograph your elopement here!
Just engaged? Are you looking for an Iceland photographer for your elopement? I work in documentary photography style, but I pay a lot of attention to locations, which is important in Iceland and probably it's why you are planning the wedding here.

For short photoshoots close to Reykjavik: you can shoot in Reykjavik itself, walk to the water, wander through the volcanic landscapes with moss around, or go towards Kleifarvatn. You can shoot in or near the Blue Lagoon without leaving far from the airport.
Also a cool option near Reykjavik and Keflavik is the active volcano Fagradalsfjall. It's not a short walk, but definitely worth it! By the way, you can also have a ceremony there.

When leaving for one or more days, the most popular options are the South Coast near Vik and the Snæfellsjökull peninsula.

The most popular and easily accessible attractions are concentrated on the coast of Vik: the black beach with Reynisfjara columns, the Dyrhólaey lighthouse with magnificent views, the Skogafoss, Kvernunfoss, and Seljanafoss waterfalls (Iceland's most Instagramable waterfalls and insta spots!), the Fjaðrárgljúfur glacier and canyon. The popular Geyser and Gullfoss waterfall are relatively close: they are less suitable for a photoshoot, but they are definitely worth a look during a trip.

A little further from Reykjavik, behind Vik, there is the Jökulsárlón lagoon and Diamond Beach, views of the Vatnajökul glacier and the Svartifoss waterfall, but it is better to plan for two or three days of shooting. By the way, ice caves become accessible and safe in this region in winter.

The Snæfellsjökull peninsula is distinguished by the proximity of all places for photoshoots to each other and the opportunity to make a circular route: after a ceremony in Búðakirkja, you can go in a circle and visit the stone arch near Gatklettur, the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall overlooking the most recognizable mountain of Iceland - Kirkjufell, black beaches and many other cool spots.

There are 2 more regions that I think are very cool to shoot, but they are less popular due to inaccessibility and more difficult logistics. These are Lake Mývatn and Westfjords (western fjords).

Around Lake Myvatn there are unusual lava fields, geothermal springs, caves. Nearby is the Selfoss waterfall, where you can drive up from different directions, and as a maximum program - The Arctic Henge (Heimskautsgerðið) in the very north.

The western fjords are very beautiful in general, without being tied to specific places, but there are also 2 super-locations: the Dynjandi waterfall and the best vantage point overlooking puffins, Látrabjarg. There you can come close to the puffins and take pictures with them.

Details of all locations with sample photos from there can be viewed on my map, which I open after booking a photoshoot.

After booking any shooting in Iceland with me, you get 2 cool bonuses:

1) Access to my Google map of interesting places in Iceland with exact gps locations, photos. It is more detailed and convenient than the lonely planet and other guidebooks. This is useful not only for a photo shoot, but for a whole trip to Iceland. The map can be easily viewed from the phone or exported to kml / kmz for the navigator.
2) Checklist for shooting in Iceland. Not sure how to prepare? Or afraid that something will go wrong because of unpredictable weather? This list will help you to be ready for anything.
3) List of recommendations of Make up & hair artists and Officiants.

* It's important:
- The price is written for early bookings, at least 6 months in advance. In orders like "shooting next week" or "next month we have wedding" price may change.
- You are responsible for moving and food during the shooting, if we don't agree on another. The photographer needs to be returned to the starting point to his car, and not toss in the middle of the island :) It's possible to go by my car, but this is additional option and discussed personally.
- For full shooting days already included photographer arrival up to Vik to the East and up to Snæfellsnes to the West. Not actual for special offers shootings. Departures far from Reykjavik are discussed personally, maybe will be additional transfer/accommodation fee.
- Date is booked only after received deposit, prepayment is 50%. Deposit is non-refundable. The detailed route and timing is discussed after date reservation. You can book one day shooting first, and if, when discussing the route, we understand that one day is not enough, and nearest dates are still free, you can book additional days later.
- Photos will be ready in 45 days, often much faster.
