I hope this finds you well and oh-so excited for the beginning of this gorgeous holiday season!  The wintertime is hands down my favorite season… Cold weather girl here =)  There is just something so incredibly romantic to walk hand in hand down a fabulously decorated downtown lit up while the snow is falling!  Makes me swoon just thinking about it!  But before we get fully immersed in the change of the seasons we must finish out sharing the fabulous Iceland wedding adventure of the lovely Tiffany and Brian!  Over the past several weeks you delighted in the following recaps of their adventure:

• Iceland Engagement Session in Hellnar
• Iceland Pre Wedding Session in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula
• Iceland Wedding Ceremony at Hotel Budir
• Iceland Wedding Portraits at Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall
• Skarðsvík Beach Iceland Wedding Photos

During my 21 months of planning time with Brian and Tiffany we brainstormed and mocked up all sorts of ideas for them to finalize a fabulous design and style scheme.  Their perimeters were that they wanted to incorporate the colors peach, champagne, and a soft silver.  It was also important have it flow throughout all of their stationary and decor.  We carried those colors throughout their Iceland save-the-dates, Iceland wedding invitation, place cards, timeline cards, favor tags, menu, and their stunning Iceland wedding reception centerpieces!  I think it all came together, eh?  I’ll let you be the judge as you delight in the awesome Iceland wedding reception images below!

Tiff & Brian,

I wish you two lived closer!  You guys were so much fun to work with and I’m glad throughout this process we had so many awesome laughs, smiles, and shared 3 days of adventure together!  Thank you for choosing Iceland Wedding Planner and Photos by Miss Ann to forever pause this unforgettable time in your lives!  I challenge you to come back in 5 years to renew your vows and do a super awesome Iceland post wedding portrait session with me =)

Lots of Hugs and Love to You!  -Ann Peters (Iceland Wedding Planner and Photographer)

So please be sure to check in often over the next few weeks to see their Iceland wedding story unfold…

Can I let you in on a little secret? Summer Iceland weddings rock; there is nothing better than having the option of getting married at 6am or 11pm and holding a crazy epic adventurous wedding day under the midnight sun. Sooo… After driving 85km west in Southern Iceland on Sunday, June 22nd, it was time to get married!  Kim and Chris met their Icelandic pastor, on the shores of Reynisfjara Beach (sometimes people refer to it as Vik Beach).

They walked happily hand in hand to the basalt rock cave (Hálsanefshellir Cave) and held their spiritual Iceland wedding ceremony inside. Kim and Chris declared their love to each other by simply stating, “I promise to always love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.”  [Swoon!] The bride was so happy she shed a couple of joyful tears and the pastor immediately gave them both the biggest hug ever!  We popped a bottle of Domaine Chandon and served the bride and groom several tasty Icelandic baked goods to start the celebration right then, right there.

It was stunning in every way… and did I mention blue skies were abound? Yup, that always seems to happen for every wedding we photograph in Iceland, no matter the season =) Chris and Kim drank their bubbles, laughed, smiled and frolicked throughout the beach giving us tons of amazing opportunity’s for unforgettable Iceland wedding photos! So today, please delight in the beginning of their fabulous adventure: Chris and Kim’s Iceland destination wedding ceremony…

A note to my lovely couple:

Kim and Chris,

You give me goose bumps, that simple. The love you exude for each other made me cry with joy and I am not a crier, ever. You are soul mates and no one can deny it when they see you together. It was such an honor to design such a monumental day from start to finish for you both and being the lucky one, who got to photograph it too. Thank you for choosing me! So how about we plan an Iceland vow renewal adventure for your 5 year anniversary? ..Next time in Northern Iceland or with Northern Lights! Until then lots of hugs, Ann (…and Beth)

To the rest of you fabulous people: Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to come by next week to see more of Chris and Kim’s Iceland wedding day!

With a smile,

Ann Peters (Iceland Wedding Photographer and Planner)
