Although these two had been to Iceland once before, they were called back to this magical landscape to have their dreamy Iceland elopement!  Iceland is one of those countries that you can continuously visit and never see the same thing twice, forever!  Seriously folks, I live here and I am still adventuring to new places each day/week!

This winter has been one of the mildest on record for decades.  Typically in March, we have a lot more snow in the mountains and the ground, but for Stacey and Aaron, this was the PERFECT amount!  So come along with me today to witness their beautiful elopement in Iceland!

Ohhhhhhh swoon!  Look at that Iceland wedding dress!

….and Aaron’s tartan suit!

Stacey’s arrival into that sweet little black church gave me goosebumps!

Awww and Aaron’s reaction of seeing his beautiful bride was uber sweet!

Can we hit the pause button for a sec and admire Stacey’s unique Iceland wedding bouquet?!

Every Icelander will tell you that the Snaefellsnes is not only a stunning place to visit but that the peninsula is enchanted!

Don’t worry, even though it’s been a super mild winter, we found a glorious amount of snow to have for some romantic Iceland elopement photos!

Kirkjufell Mountain (and waterfall) is incredibly beautiful when it has a light dusting of snow on it… Making way for stunning elopement photos!

There are many secret places within the Snaefellsnes Peninsula to escape away from tourists… We took a little trip to one of my favorite secret waterfalls for a fun little adventure crossing rivers and such!

The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is known to have an abundance of golden sand beaches ready for you to explore!

Ever think about venturing to a shipwreck beach with crazy awesome lava rock formations?!  These two ROCKED IT!

Toasting with bubbles cliffside, is a must do during your Iceland elopement!

When the weather changes in Iceland, it’s just a wonderful opportunity to HUG harder!

…and laugh harder that you have somehow experienced 4 seasons in one day

Take a page out of Stacey and Aaron’s book and make sure you take time to truly enjoy the view too!

As if their day was not adventurous enough, these two opted in on my suggestion of heading down inside of a 8,000 year old lava tube to explore it!  Special Note:  All of these images were taken in 100% darkness!  How cool, right?!

After 10+ hours of awesome adventures, it was time to rest, refresh, and get their second wind for their Iceland wedding reception for two!

It started snowing again so sadly no Northern Lights graced us, but we mocked up a super fun nighttime wedding photoshoot instead for Stacey and Aaron!

Good news fans, this epic waterfall is actually in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and less than a 30 minute drive from famous Hotel Budir.  From my own personal experience, this is hands down one of my favorite waterfalls in Iceland (and frankly maybe the world).  Plus from an Iceland wedding photographers, perspective there are so many different angles you can attack this waterfall from which transforms it into totally different looks, making it a very versatile spot for wedding portraits.

Alright folks, I won’t bore you with any more words this week! Onto the super awesome visuals!  Without further ado, please delight in Tiffany and Brian’s gorgeous Iceland weddings photos at Kirkjufellsfoss! But don’t go far friends… Next up is an incredible golden beach (yes Iceland totally has one of those too)!

The Iceland wedding ceremony of Brian and Tiffany was held under the morning mountain sun at Hotel Budir in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.  It was frankly, just as dreamy as I had pictured it 21 months ago when we began planning their beautiful Iceland wedding adventure weekend!

The love these two share gives me goose bumps, seriously!  And, I don’t say that lightly.  I am a lover of love, but these two take it up to a not notch I had not witnessed before…  You can see it in the way that Brian holds Tiffany’s hand, leads her, or the way he kisses her –he adores her beyond words.  Geeish, then the swoon factor rises when Tiffany looks at Brian, there is no one else in the room even if it’s fully crowded –you can clearly know he’s her one.  A love like theirs is one we can all learn from!

The Scoop: Tiffany and Brian are from Regina, Saskatchewan Canada and brought 45 guests from around the world to join them on a weekend full of Icelandic adventures.  The Iceland wedding weekend kicked off with their fabulous Iceland Engagement Session (and here), a delicious 3 course wedding welcome dinner, and a kick-ass bonfire on the beach all evening before the wedding.

Beth and I woke up our soon to be newlyweds, with coffee in hand at 6:45am the following morning, to ensure their day started off perfectly =)  The two lovers parted ways to get ready within Hotel Budir and then our favorite Iceland makeup artist and hair stylist began their talent on Tiffany and her bridesmaid.  By 9am Beth and I were out setting up chairs on the side of the hotel down by the waters edge, but as the wind picked up and turned a little wicked, we had to sadly make the call of moving the ceremony back up to the hilltop of the hotel to ensure the comfort of the guests.  Luckily it still boasted the same dynamic view!

Their guests gathered together at 11am on that hilltop to celebrate their love and admiration, and Tiffany + Brian spoke their heartfelt vows to each other under that majestic morning light.  After bearing through the strong winds, we decided to take the group inside for their formal Iceland wedding portraits and it was so beautiful!  Hotel Budir has this gorgeous parlor room that boasts a phenomenal panoramic view and vintage red velvet couches, swoon!  It went perfectly as you’ll see below with Tiff & Brian’s “Old Hollywood Glam” look!

By 12:15pm we were having the guests load a giant bus to begin their action packed Iceland wedding day adventure!  Our first fabulous stop was the amazing… Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall & Mountain!  So that being said… I dare you to come back next week to swoon over those stunning images!

Hugs, Love, and Smiles to you,  Ann Peters (Iceland Wedding Photographer & Planner)
