This winter elopement takes you on a journey from an old, stylish apartment close to down town Reykjavík through the wintery landscapes of the south coast. Visiting the frozen canyon of Fjaðrárgljúfur, exchanging vows and rings in the largest lava flow in recorded history…

We learned a long time ago that there is no use in getting annoyed by the weather you just have to embrace what ever the weather gods throw your way and work with it. And that brings us back to Belinda and Terry.

They had decided to travel to Iceland when Hans casually asked if they should get married while they were here. Ricardo agreed and they got married under a beautiful waterfall on the day Iceland celebrates Gay Pride in August.

Rex & Zyan vs Iceland’s mood swings. Low hanging clouds, occasional drizzle and gusts of wind all there to give this photoshoot that true Iceland feel that you just can’t get anywhere else. Embrace the wildness. . . . #icelan
These images were made during the 40% solar eclipse we had here in Iceland the other day. Truth be told we had totally forgotten that it was taking place but it made the light quality a bit different from what we are used to. It was like a diffused s

Ever been to the highlands? Soon, in just a few months, the highlands in the centre of Iceland will open up to us. The true wilderness of the island, where your navigation skills, endurance and grit will all be tested but instead you can get to enjoy
When that light hits just right. Winters in Iceland are cold and crazy but when we do get a break in the clouds that winter light is hard to beat. From our latest couple shoot, shot in late March in some very wintery conditions, especially that las
