We were awarded the prestigious Rangefinder Rising Stars of Wedding Photography 2020 award. This came at the exactly right time for us, when we needed a pick me up the most.

December. The time of year Iceland is shrouded in darkness. Violent storms come raging in from the open ocean. Mountain passes fill up with snow. All the migrating birds have left. The island becomes silent. The perfect month for an adventurous elopement…

Snæfellsnes Engagement // Kevin & Season

Summer in Iceland is our favourite season, for a short time each year this cold rock in the north Atlantic is transformed into a green oasis.

Westfjords Wedding // María & Ingileif

So where to begin with this fairytale in the West fjords…? It seems that every time we visit that magical corner of Iceland the greater the adventures we experience.

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
