This summer wedding on the south coast has it all! A heartfelt, emotional and teary eyed ceremony under a secret waterfall. Hiking in the hills above said waterfall for some portraits. Exploring high sea cliffs towering over the black sand beaches, roaming around endless fields of wild lupine, making out in a filed of buttercups only to find yourself all of a sudden…
We headed out just before sunset to get the best light and made a quick stop by a lake with crazy rock formations that must have been trolls in their past life, then we drove past lava fields and sulphur smelling hot springs and finally found our selves driving along a sketchy road we had never been down before.
Some weddings start at the edge of the world and of all the weddings we've shot none have been closer to that edge than this one. It took place in Árneshreppur in the Strandir region on the Westfjords of Iceland. A magical place you have to visit in person to truly understand. It's raw, mysterious, infinitely beautiful and remote, very remote. There is a small population that lives there year round, huddled together during the winter months blocked off from the rest of the country when the mountain passes fill up with snow. When summer comes for it's short visit the place is transformed into a paradise and paradise sounds like a good spot for a wedding.
