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!

We headed south from Reykjavik and found our way to a secret canyon!  Even though Iceland this year has had the MILDEST winter ever on record, we were lucky enough to have a DREAMY snowy Iceland couple’s adventurous portrait session! …little did Katie know she was moments away from Dave proposing too!  Please come alongside with us today to experience their romantic marriage proposal in Iceland!

The series below of Katie’s reaction to Dave’s Iceland marriage proposal was PRICELESS!

It’s always fun to take a few minutes and admire your new Iceland wedding ring!

The Adventure and the SNOW during this Iceland proposal session was pure MAGIC!

An Iceland proposal must do: Secret Waterfall Kisses!

…and then add in some Iceland Pre-Wedding snuggles and we’re all set!

…the end of the day (actually the light for the day) started to draw to a close and I couldn’t help but have one last swoon as we headed back into the city over this beautifully lit mountain!  What a beautiful fun stop for these newly engaged couple from Chicago! ? ? ?

The level of attention to detail is at a superior level when you book a picnic with Iceland Luxury Picnics!

Half of the fun in exploring a new country is experiencing the unique culture and THE FOOD!  Having an traditional Icelandic picnic is a fantastic way to give it a go.  Iceland Luxury Picnics offers a delicious option, see here.

The Icelandic beer scene has really taken shape over the last 5 years with several microbreweries and flavours emerging.

Sampling a tasty display of traditional Icelandic sandwiches Rúgbrauð and Gravlax is a perfect way to introduce yourself to the native food.

And we must not forget about giving Skyr a whirl!

Cuddling up on sheep skins or reindeer furs is such a romantic picnic option!

Fish jerky, licorice and chocolate balls (with coconut toppings) are some of the traditional Icelandic snacks you can anticipate trying during your luxury picnic!

Icelandic Brennivin (also known as “black death”) is often paired with the tasting of fermented shark but it’s actually one of Iceland’s oldest schnapps (circa 1935)!  Adding a shot or two of this will make you feel like a real Viking during your luxury picnic in Iceland!

Iceland Luxury Picnics has the capabilities of setting up any sort of picnic anywhere in Iceland.  They are also offer smaller scale of sweet champagne picnics as well, see here.

A beautiful bottle of bubbles pairs well with exciting news of an Iceland marriage proposal, being newly married, or celebrating that milestone anniversary!

Now it’s one thing to propose in Iceland (which high five to you if you have or are considering to propose in Iceland!), but then it’s another to plan a luxury surprise (see below what that means) proposal in Iceland.

That is just what Amit, a dapper gentlemen from England hired us to help him with!  So I invite you today to witness their unforgettable proposal in Iceland, watch these two lovers in Iceland getting cozy and adventure around hand in hand!

With a smile, Ann Peters + Team (Iceland Marriage Proposal Planner and Photographer)

I cannot tell you how happy these two were to see this amazing fresh layer of snow!

What exactly is a luxury proposal in Iceland? …It’s when you craft a fun story to your significant other (with the help of your Iceland wedding photographer) that gets them thinking they are simply going on a “photo adventure” in Iceland, because you two do not have enough beautiful photos together!  So we had her thinking that it was just a romantic couples session in Iceland until THIS moment!

Then you mix in an Iceland Wedding Planner who creates a stunning picnic for you with all kinds of fabulous details! Ingredients to a perfectly styled Iceland luxury picnic consist of the following: Warm blankets, comfy pillows, champagne, artesian chocolates, cheese and crackers, other Icelandic snacks, lanterns, and a LOVE marquee sign!

After she “said yes” they delighted in this Iceland luxury private picnic for two!

Their moments.

Their adoration for each other.

Their level of adventure.

Frankly, I’m left speechless and seriously grateful.  We have THE.BEST.CLIENTS.EVER!  To Our Clients: Thank you for choosing us, trusting us, and for having so much freaking FUN!

I haven’t even gotten around to sharing all of this past years amazingness on the blog yet, so keep stalking this space!  …and as we look ahead to this next year, um I won’t even begin to tell you about our 2017 and 2018 clients because I may dare to say some of them are our most adventurous and most unique locations yet!

Then you add into the year’s mix that we (Davíð and I) eloped in the Lofoten Islands and honeymooned in the Maldives, it took the year’s status up a notch too!  So to say it’s been a fantastic year would be an understatement.  Thank you followers for coming along with us!  Today we’re going to share a little fun flashback of our favorite moments from this past year… Enjoy!

In the meantime, I’m anxious to start with our first wedding of the year on January 3rd and days later heading back to the famed Igloo Village for another epic adventure wedding!  Cheers to this being the best year yet!

With a smile, Ann Peters + Team (Iceland Adventure Wedding Planners)

The views during our client’s Iceland wedding day adventures left them (and us) speechless!  K+A’s thrilling elopement is one for the books!

Can you imagine proposing in Iceland with all this happening around you?! SWOON!

One of our brides this year strapped on a pair of crampons, tied up her dress, and did some hiking around one of Iceland’s 13 Glaciers for her Iceland elopement adventure! #badass

At the end of the hike, we found our way to a gorgeous ice cave for Iceland wedding photos!

Firm believers in that statement, Rachel and John reached out to us, days after the proposal.  They were crazy excited to book their Iceland engagement session in this stunning landscape.  They then embarked on a super fun photo adventure with us in our 4×4, totally ready to hike to some offbeat locations for amazing views and incredible photo ops!

These two hiked to a secret little waterfall that morning and stole oh-so many kisses along the way!

Swoon!  That moment where the path takes you to rainbow and a mini waterfall you can walk behind! ?

Their curiosity led them behind to venture behind this super sweet private waterfall! #worthit

Love on an adventure doesn’t get any better than this ?

We had the rare kind of adventurous day that blue skies were abound!  It was simply incredible!

This is my latest and most favorite Iceland Pre Wedding Session spot! This couple and those mountains!!

Iceland Wedding Photography Tip: Let your curiosity lead you through your Iceland engagement adventure and allow your love for each other naturally take over.

Rachel + John, Please com back to Iceland to hold that magnificent wedding day! #prettyplease  You look AMAZING in these tones and textures together!!

When I begin telling your Iceland wedding story it doesn’t actually begin on the wedding day, rather it begins as soon as I leave Reykjavik.  I jump in the car and begin my photography trek to your wedding adventure… What does that mean?  It means I make stops along the way photographing the places you (or your guests) are seeing as you look out your window in awe of this land of fire and ice.  My absolute favorite thing about Iceland is that the dramatic landscapes are always changing.  No matter how many times I photograph a place I see something different because it’s YOUR ADVENTURE.

When I set out on the journey to Bethany and Richard’s Southern Iceland wedding adventure, I stopped at Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and heard, “Ann???” from behind me.  There they were… my favorite couple from Chicago!  They had traveled for 12+ hours at this point and obliged to a few portraits in that serendipitous moment- I was happy =)  A few images now to tide you over until I unveil their STUNNING Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon wedding ceremony images!

This fabulous pair contacted me last spring, to plan and photograph their amazing February 14^th Iceland destination wedding adventure and ooooooh boy did we plan something EPIC! Can someone say FIRST Iceland wedding in a super-secret Icelandic cave? Yes, please! At sunrise, we loaded their 40+ Scottish guests into super jeeps and surprised them with a unique lantern lit ceremony locale! They were in awe. <Remember! You saw the location here at Iceland Wedding Planner / Photos by Miss Ann, FIRST>

The Grooms Style: They donned themselves head to toe in traditional Scottish garb! Their tartan’s were: Purple Slanj and Scotland Forever Ancient and they looked just dapper!

The gents held a traditional Icelandic Ásatrú wedding ceremony which is inspired by the historic Norse culture. The ceremony was performed in Icelandic, included holding an oath ring as they spoke their vows and the guests even drank whisky from a horn as they toasted the groom’s new life together!

The next several locations on their wedding day adventure came with sideways rain and 20-30mph wind gusts. We mustn’t forget Rule #1 about getting married in Iceland:  Iceland is moody and unpredictable! Pretty sure most couples would have tapped out at this point and said, “Plan B indoor locations, please!” Paul and Marc, didn’t! The guests and grooms prevailed over it and made it to another cave on a gorgeous black sand beach. The group drank Prosecco, recanted awesome stories of the grooms, and had many laughs over the ever-changing Icelandic weather which had just transitioned to hail/snow. To be expected and embraced! The guests found their way back to the jeeps for a packed lunch and the grooms and I continued on for some epic rainy day wedding portraits in front of some gorgeous basalt rocks that emerged from the sea.

Sometimes, the weather gets pretty rough in Iceland and pushes you to your absolute maximum limits. When we reached Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, the rain and wind were pushing 40mph! Needless to say, the stop was not long and we executed Plan B to turn the adventure into a driving tour. One of the last stops was Sólheimasandur Black Sand Beach, which is a private beach where an abandoned United States DC-3 airplane resides. The plane crashed in 1973 and is one of Iceland’s super-secret spots.

Marc + Paul’s Iceland wedding reception was full of endless amounts of energy! Their guests were pleasantly surprised by the party favors on the table… Mini bottles of Reyka Vodka which were covered by little hand knit Icelandic sweaters that had their initials on them! How flipping cute, right?! From the endless laughs, smiles, stories, the Scottish Gay Gordon traditional dancing, to late night Icelandic snacks the guests and grooms went strong long after midnight!

To Paul + Marc:

I’m your biggest fan =) Your love story captivated me as soon as I Skyped with you two. I mean who is lucky enough to have an instant serendipitous connection be… A Rainy Night + Mutual Friends x All Night Talk of Zombies / VW Campers / Antarctica Penguins = 7am Marriage Talk?! Then to have a surprise proposal in Iceland under the Northern Lights?! I am insanely jealous and so is the rest of the romantics out here with me! Needless to say after hearing all of this… I was dying to be a part of your wedding day and make it out-of-this-world! Thank you for choosing me to plan and photograph such an epic adventure for you and your guests! I welcome you back to Iceland every year to renew those vows =)

Lots of Hugs, Smiles, and Love to You, Ann (Iceland Wedding Photographer and Planner)
