Kevin reached out to us several months before he was planning to propose to his lovely lady, Theresa.  We built on Kevin’s idea of wanting the moment to be unforgettably romantic, in a private location, and incorporated some cozy Icelandic elements!  So come along with us today to experience their stunning luxury proposal in Iceland!

He told her they were going on an adventure that evening after visiting the Blue Lagoon… Little did she know as they were exploring, they would share such an unforgettable life changing moment together!

After the initial surprise shock-factor wore off, she of course, said YES!

HUGS and soooo much LOVE during this surprise proposal in Iceland!

Then he led her into their secret little cave… where she was in total “awe” of the amazing luxury picnic setup that he had put together!  …huge high 5 Kevin!

Then came one of my favorite moments, she finally has a look at the ring and LOVES it!

After some sips of La Caravelle Champagne, we ventured around for a sunset Iceland engagement session!

After the session, they finally got a chance to delight in the luxury picnic! Complete with lots of things to eat, sip, snuggle up with, a even a firepit to keep warm!  A truly luxurious romantic evening in Iceland fit for a king and queen!

One of our favorite champagnes out there is La Caravelle.  They are an amazing boutique champagne house that you must try!  Only the best and most delicious for our clients!

And what luxury picnic would be complete without having sweets from the best chocolatier in Iceland… Hafliði Ragnarsson!

The views were incredible from their secret Iceland marriage proposal spot!

Most times before sunset (if it sets) in Iceland, you often see the moon come out for several hours before the sun sinks into the mountains.  A perfect end to an incredible surprise proposal in Iceland, I must say!
