Their stories.

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!

Romantic Honeymoon adventures in Iceland!

Secret Caves + Nordic Wedding Days = Endless Smiles!

Rain during your Iceland wedding day creates MAGIC like THIS for your photos! #lucky

Did you see our adventurous elopement in the Lofoten Islands? If not, go back HERE.

After we eloped in the Lofoten Islands, we waited until I was done with my high wedding season (like end of November) and took a scuba diving adventure to the Maldives!  Follow us on Instagram or on our Your Adventure Wedding blog to see more!

Oh la la the dreamy season of the Icelandic lupines (which is between June 15-July 15th)!

Ever think about getting married in Iceland in April?  These two give you a ton of reasons to!

A secret waterfall wedding in Iceland, always makes my day!  Let’s flash back to Tim and Antonia’s epic Iceland wedding day, shall we?!

This shot was taken during daylight hours but it was so dark and mysterious in this deep canyon that we brought in our own love and light during this November Iceland elopement!

Did you know there are several waterfalls throughout Iceland that you can explore behind?

Rainy Iceland wedding days with us are FUN!  Remember how hardcore these two were?

So so so much about Abby and Derek’s Iceland wedding day I loved!

The Icelandic landscape can change in a blink of an eye!  One of my favorite “Mars” looking areas!

Romantic Iceland couple’s sessions are becoming a new fave too this past year!

Iceland wedding proposals in front of ice caves?! #yesplease

We love when couples embrace the idea of exploring together on their wedding day like these two did during their Iceland elopement!

This November wedding in Iceland used every second of the daylight!

Can you imagine having this entire lighthouse on the most Southern tip of Iceland ALL to yourselves?  This amazing couple did for their Iceland luxury elopement!

Do you ever get those?

Living in Iceland, I get them a lot when I ice climb, hike, SUP, and of course while scouting secret Iceland wedding locations.  But on Iceland wedding days, it’s somehow amplified.  No joke!  I almost hyperventilated in excitement over the below image.  Right light, right mountain, and what an amazing couple!  When all of those elements come together my mind is blown!

Cross those fabulous things with adding in some epic Icelandic wildlife and this Iceland elopement went off the charts!  Do you see the sneaky little seal who photo-bombed the Iceland wedding ceremony?

Another thing that makes me smile during an Iceland wedding photo adventures, is surprising my clients with new super secret waterfalls.  These two didn’t even bat an eyelash when I told them the hike time!  ? ? ?

When you have an early April wedding in Iceland (which this fab couple did) you can usually expect some snow still lingering (unless we’ve had a more wet than snowy winter).  This often times adds to the dramatic landscape giving you the vibrant greens, browns, and whites like the beautiful below Iceland elopement wedding portrait!

Weddings in Iceland with us equal adventure, that simple.

Ideal for couples who love the outdoors (and will run around in them rain or shine), enjoy hiking, crave wedding photos in dynamic locations, and are wanderlust addicts.  Imagine yourself discovering uniquely shaped glaciers like this couple did!

Here at Iceland Wedding Planner, we are providers of EXPERIENCES, not just a “wedding day”  We stay away from  churches and the usually flooded tourist locations, so that there are not 100+ people Instagram-ing your wedding.

We prefer to have our clients totally immersed and connected to TRUE and PURE Iceland.  The unknown. The untouched. The places that will leave you in utter “Awe” and get you totally addicted to this island!  If adventuring to secret waterfalls, caves, cliffs, glaciers, private beaches and rock formations sound like fun to experience on your wedding day in Iceland… Contact us to get that exciting conversation started! ?

During their last few days of their journey through the land of fire and ice, they spent a day with us exploring the dynamic and colorful Icelandic wintry landscape!

They hiked.  They climbed.  They even said “yes” to my request for them to repel down into cave through a snow tunnel!

True adventurers who were after an unforgettable honeymoon!  …and they got it! ?

Thank you Maegan and Jesse for choosing us and Your Adventure Wedding to plan and photograph such a gorgeous honeymoon session in Iceland!

The majority of you are aware of my boundless passion for being an International Wedding Planner. Photographer. Adventurer. Entrepreneur. A lover of defining moments, people, and champagne.  You might also be privy to know that I’m on a serious mission to change the destination wedding industry.  Like heart attack serious.

No more thinking a destination wedding should equal a sunny all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean.  Not kidding folks, STOP thinking that now.  Time to learn and educate yourself, friends, family and random people on this topic!  It’ll make the world a far more interesting place, I promise.  I challenge you to stop being like everyone else and START to think about 17 hour kick-ass wedding adventure days that are in unique, offbeat, and destination wedding locations you’ve never heard of or know anything about until you talk to us.  That’s the stuff that you’ll (and your guests) will remember for the rest of your lives… THE EXPERIENCE of Mr. + Mrs. ____________ getting married in _____________ and having an epic wedding adventure day!

MISSION: Destination Weddings = Adventure, that simple. We’ve proven our adventure wedding concept works all over Iceland and the other amazing Nordic countries… so next step is for us to take on THE WORLD!  Are you brave enough to accept this challenge too?  If so, we’re ready for you!  <Enter in our new umbrella company>

Your Adventure Wedding

For the next year, we’re on a personal and professional mission to educate people and places on Your Adventure Wedding, why?

Because your wedding day SHOULD BE the ULTIMATE ADVENTURE!

It’s one of the single, most important days of your life.  Who wants to spend it in a stuffy church in your home town, with 100’s of people you don’t like very much, and eating food that doesn’t have any fun cultural elements to it?  Or worse yet, who wants to be married in the same overdone resort millions of others have already said “I do” at?  Ummm, not me.  Let’s be honest, not you either, right?  Alternative, please!  Instead, hold an unforgettable Adventure Wedding!

So!  All that being said, here’s our current travel schedule in case you want to help us change the world and stuff.  We’re excited to book any adventurous elopements, destination weddings, pre-wedding, post wedding, or honeymoon session in any of these locales, because don’t forget we own the photography company, Photos by Miss Ann too!

There they stood out on a jagged cliff in front of the massive 40 foot by 100 feet wide waterfall professing their lifetime love to each other.  It was wildly stunning and the essence of an adventure wedding by pushing their fear of heights limits!  Today, I share with you their Iceland wedding ceremony at Godafoss Waterfall, enjoy!

Their amazing elopement adventure continued to the other amazing locales:

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,
Ann + Chris
