Iceland elopement

Your day,
however you want it.

I know this place — the light, the roads, which weather to worry about and which to photograph. The storm you think will ruin the day is usually the photo.

Most couples are nervous about the camera at first. It stops mattering fast. And when you look back at the photos, I want you to feel exactly how that day felt.

“She was willing to go the extra mile — literally walking through pouring rain and mud because we wanted pictures by the Lupines.”

— Peyton & Austin

About Caroline

The person you'll
spend the day with.

I came to Iceland and fell in love with the landscape, the unexpected weather, and the person who is now my husband.

Most people say the same thing after our first call: they felt comfortable. Like they already knew me. That matters more to me than anything else — because on the day itself, I want you completely focused on each other, not thinking about me at all.

"It felt like we were touring Iceland with one of our friends."

— Jason & Casey

Iceland excites you more than the camera worries you

Most of my couples are a little nervous about being photographed — it goes away quickly. Once you're standing in front of a glacier, you stop thinking about the camera. What matters more is that you're genuinely excited to be in Iceland together.

You decided quickly and didn't shop around

The couples I work best with usually see something and just know. They're not comparing twenty photographers — they saw my work, loved the style, and knew I was the photographer they wanted.

Bad weather doesn't scare you

You're actually hoping for something dramatic. You understand that a moody sky, a bit of rain, and wind in your hair is Iceland doing exactly what it's supposed to.

The dress can get a little muddy

You're here for the experience, not perfection. The best photos never come from perfect moments — they come from real ones. Wind, mud, laughter at the wrong time.

How it works

Three steps to your day in Iceland.

01

Reach out

Tell me about the two of you, your vision if you have one, and what matters most to you. I'll take it from there.

02

We plan together

Locations, timing, vendors — I'll guide you through all of it. You'll get my elopement guide, my map, and honest advice every step of the way.

03

You get married

By the time we get here, every detail is sorted. You just show up and be in Iceland together. The photos happen because of that — not the other way around.

When to come

Iceland is different every season.

There's no wrong time — just different things to work with.

Winter

Nov – Feb

Northern lights, ice caves open, snow-covered landscapes, moody dramatic light

Short days, cold, some highland roads closed

Spring

Mar – May

Waterfalls at their strongest, snow still in the highlands, fewer tourists

Unpredictable — can be sun, snow, and rain in one day

Summer

Jun – Aug

Midnight sun, long golden evenings, lupines and lush green landscapes

Most popular — book well in advance

Autumn

Sep – Oct

Northern lights returning, golden colours, fewer crowds — a real sweet spot

Weather turns fast and roads close earlier

Most of the time we didn't even realise she was taking photos — which is why the images feel natural rather than stiff. She didn't dominate the experience; she quietly supported it and captured it as it actually was.

Common questions

Before you reach out.

How many guests can we have?

As many or as few as you want. Some couples elope with just the two of them and an officiant. Others bring a small group of close family. There's no rule — it's your day.

How far in advance should we book?

Ideally 6–12 months, especially for summer (June–August) which fills up fast. That said, I sometimes have openings on shorter notice — always worth asking.

What if the weather is terrible?

Rain, wind, and moody skies are part of what makes Iceland feel like Iceland — and honestly, some of my favourite photos have come from the wildest days. I wouldn't suggest cancelling or postponing for weather alone. That said, if conditions are genuinely dangerous or a road is officially closed, we'll figure it out together — whether that's adjusting the timing, changing the location, or finding a new day.

What if we don't know where we want to go?

Most couples don't when they first reach out — and that's completely fine. Once I know a bit about you, what kind of landscape draws you in, how adventurous you want to be, I'll share my location guide and full galleries from different parts of Iceland so you can actually get a feel for the places before deciding. We'll find the right one together.

Do we need legal documents to get married in Iceland?

Yes — Iceland requires a Certificate of No Impediment from your home country, plus some paperwork submitted to the Registers Iceland office in advance. Some couples handle the legal side at home before they arrive, others do it all in Iceland — either way works perfectly.

Do we need to sort accommodation and travel ourselves?

Yes, though I'll help. You'll get my full Iceland travel guide with accommodation recommendations, and I'm always happy to look over your itinerary and give honest advice on what works and what doesn't.

Still thinking about it?
Reach out anyway.

Most couples who reach out haven't sorted the date, the location, or the details yet. That's fine — that's exactly what I'm here for.
