Most people think that having summer wedding in Iceland will be guaranteed sunshine and warm temperatures.  Whereas, the reality of the situation is that if holding an Iceland wedding in the South chances are great that it may rain, be windy, or overcast no matter the time of year.  Luckily Marek and Luisa knew this and embraced running around in, laughing, and playing in the rain!  …and they did it in style!  Totally makes me want for it to rain on my wedding day!

Having some Scottish roots, Marek donned his family’s tartan colors and Luisa complimented her fabulous Iceland wedding dress with a matching shawl.  Also note Luisa’s AWESOME footwear… Hiking boots and Tom’s!  Perfect combo.

The Iceland adventure wedding day began with a ceremony on one of my favorite black sand beaches.

Oh la la and how dreamy is that sea arch with these two?!

…and her Iceland wedding flowers how vibrant and sweet!

Iceland Caves and Views #perfection

Exploring secret waterfalls on your Iceland wedding day should always be on the agenda!

…and sometimes when the fog and rain get so bad, you just have to explore through it!

An adventurous wedding day in Iceland requires a refuel stop of Icelandic hot dogs!

The romantic quite moments these two shared throughout their elopement in Iceland were stunning!

One of our Iceland adventure wedding spots had more Puffins than I could count!

Many times, our couples face their fears together among the amazing Icelandic cliff lines.

After 12 hours of adventuring Marek and Luisa delighted in a sweetly styled dinner for two!

Several more of our favorites from Luisa + Marek’s adventurous elopement in Iceland follow below, enjoy!

#EasyButton- Totally what we, here at Iceland Wedding Planner specialize in!  We delivered a 16 hour adventurous Iceland wedding day and throughout the day we saw 0 tourists (and it was the 28th of May!).  How did we do that?  Because our locations are offbeat, exclusive, and most times private, which then translates to you as an unforgettable wedding EXPERIENCE in Iceland, not just a wedding day.

One of the beautiful things (and sometimes challenging) about Iceland is the ever changing weather conditions.  You must embrace this.  For Britt + James, playing in the rain during their Iceland elopement was part of the exciting wedding day journey!

Pretty sure, these two will also go down as one of the most adventurous couples, EVER.  Have you ever seen a bride climb a glacier in a wedding dress?  …I mean like the whole gamut -crampons and ice picks?!  Brittany, had no fear and she conquered that glacier.  After their glacier expedition, they had a BBQ in an ice cave…. Who does that?! Our kickass Iceland wedding couples, that’s who!

One of my favorites from Britt + James romantic Icelandic elopement was this quite moment they shared in a gorgeous canyon.

Okay, so maybe I lied, I also REALLY SWOONED when I witnessed the beautiful stolen kisses in front of this waterfall too!

There were so many amazing images from their elopement in Iceland, it was frankly hard to choose some to share with you today!  But, I tried- so enjoy!

Dyrhólaey is a 120-metre high cliff that is close to the famed Vík Beach in Southern Iceland.  You may even recognize the area from our 2nd Wedding Anniversary Post here.  Many tourists often miss this epic spot.  So we hope our bride and groom (Kim + Chris) today will give you a reason and encourage you to make a stop at this gorgeous natural wonder!  Here are a few images of our Iceland wedding photo stop at the Dyrhólaey Cliffs… Enjoy the romance!

More to come… stay tuned!

With a smile,

Today being Monday, April 14^th 2014, we very happily celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary! Thank you for being a part of our journey and adventure as a husband and wife Iceland wedding photography and planning team. It’s been a really thrilling undertaking for us!

Chris and I are continuing with our anniversary tradition (as you read here on our 1^st Iceland wedding anniversary) by popping a bottle of bubbles tonight and writing each other a love letter. In case you missed it, the intention is to place the notes in our Love Letter Ceremony box originally from our Seljalandsfoss Iceland wedding. Not to be read until our 25^th wedding anniversary celebration (in 2037). So much suspense –now only 23 more years to wait!

It has also been a tradition on our anniversary for me to put my Iceland wedding dress back on to make sure it still zips, fits, and while doing so it somehow centers me back to that sensational time in our lives. (By the way, I totally snatched this fab idea from my super awesome MIL who has been doing this herself for the last 34 years!).   …and I am happy to report today that I didn’t have to wiggle in, it was actually loose! It’s a tight trumpet style satin wedding dress. So ladies knowing that; you can appreciate my enthusiasm about it having slack 2 years later right?

Several weeks ago, we embarked on a trip to photograph our Iceland wedding anniversary photos at a few of our beloved spots in Southern Iceland. Those Iceland wedding locations included:

• Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon (Iceland’s Iceberg Bay).
• Reynisfjara Beach (Iceland black sand beach that has basalt columns protruding from the sea, a beautiful cave, and is often mistaken for Vik Beach)
• Dyrholaey Cliffs (Amazing arch rock, lighthouse, epic 360 views, and inspiring cliffs)
• The stunning barely visited Fjadrargljufur Canyon (Love! It totally feels like you have just discovered this stunning canyon by yourself for the first time, ever).

Although my original Iceland wedding dress did not make the trip back for this year’s wedding anniversary photo shoot, I did bring another exquisite long sleeve lace dress in ivory that was handcrafted by one of my favorite UK dress designers, Baylis and Knight. The Baylis and Knight team offers gorgeous custom dresses with a totally personalized experience. Their designs would be brilliant to wear for your destination wedding day in Iceland. They could be worn also as a wedding reception dress, or for your Iceland pre-wedding photo session.

As a side note to my ladies who love glam… a pair of my treasured beige Badgley Mischka’s and vintage hairpiece made it to Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon. Although I will say, stilettoes and the glacial lagoon rocky terrain didn’t go easily together! But, Chris and I had been hoping to have formal portraits there since before our 2012 April Iceland destination wedding and it was soo worth it!

Chris wore his brown suit he had custom made while we were on our Honeymoon in Bali Indonesia. Swoon! I am always in awe of that man when he is in a suit, he looks so debonair! To make it even more special, one of our Iceland florists even made us a sweet little Iceland wedding bouquet for our couple’s portraits we had planned at sunrise at the lagoon. Even though it was winter in Iceland and many of our days were rainy or snowy filled, the weather cooperated during our portrait session times.

So all that being said, we hope you have fun looking through our wedding anniversary portraits in Iceland, and find yourself inspired for your own Iceland wedding or elopement!  If you’re interested in having us plan and photograph your Iceland wedding or elopement, please head over to our contact page.  Thanks!
