Eloping in Iceland? It’s the best damn decision you’ll make.
Eloping here isn’t just a way to escape the stress — it’s about stepping into something deeply intentional. A day built around you two, your connection, and the kind of memories that feel like magic even years later.
This isn’t about following a script. This is about making space for joy, awe, and quiet moments that make your hearts feel full. You’re not here to impress anyone.
This is your “Holy crap, we’re doing this!” moment.
Because you can say your vows beside a glacier. You can skip the guest list and dance in the rain. And yes — you can have a day that’s truly yours from start to finish.
CAPTURING HOW IT FELT WHEN ELOPING IN ICELAND.
Why elope? To Feel Every Second of It.
In a world that often shouts louder than it listens, eloping is a whisper between two hearts.
It’s standing hand in hand in the middle of nowhere and knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. No spotlight. No stage. Just presence. Just truth.
To elope is to choose meaning over spectacle. To make space for the quiet glances, the soft laughter, and the thrill of knowing this day is truly yours. No rules. No rush. Just the beauty of your connection—unfiltered and alive.
Whether you say your vows on a black sand beach, beneath a waterfall, or in the golden silence of a lava field, one thing is certain: This day is about love. And that’s all it ever needed to be.
And I’m here to help you live the hell out of it.
Let’s get one thing straight: You don’t want wedding photos that just look good. You want photos that hit you in the feels.
Because 10 years from now? You won’t care about the perfect pose or that one strand of hair out of place. You’ll care about the way you looked at each other right before saying “I do.” The quiet, nervous laugh. The wind in your hair. The hot chocolate spill. The way Iceland felt like it belonged to just you two.
You don’t need to know how to pose. You just need to show up as yourselves.
You’ll feel safe, seen, and like you’re hanging out with an old friend who just happens to take killer photos.
Elopement Photos That Let You Feel It All Over Again
Hi, I’m Lisa! Adventure wedding & elopement photographer in Vik, Iceland.
I believe the way you get married matters. Not because of traditions or expectations—but because it’s yours. You deserve a space where you feel safe to speak your vows exactly how you feel them. Where the day unfolds gently, honestly, wildly—on your terms.
As someone planning my own elopement, I don’t just get it—I feel it, deeply. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s a shared journey.
When your day comes, you won’t be thinking about cameras or timelines. You’ll be fully there—wrapped in the joy of choosing each other. And I’ll be quietly capturing the way it all felt.
With ten years behind the lens, I don’t just document. I notice. I hold space. I guide you into ease, into presence—until being photographed feels as natural as loving each other. And yes, you’ll feel absolutely freaking amazing in front of the camera.
If you’re ready to talk about the day that already lives in your heart— I’m here, and I can’t wait to dream it up with you.
Watch a hello video from Lisa.
Eloping in Iceland is for You, Him, Her, They, Them.
You should never have to wonder if you’ll be accepted on your wedding day. You should know—deep in your bones—that you are safe, seen, and celebrated exactly as you are.
Because this is love. Your love. The kind that chose itself boldly, joyfully, without needing permission.
You’ve found your forever person. And that deserves nothing less than a day that feels like home.
Your Elopement, Your Rules.
I’ll Bring the Snacks.
So, how does this epic Iceland elopement actually go down?
🎒 You’ll land at Keflavík International Airport — welcome to the land of the fire and ice. From there, you can grab a rental car or we’ll arrange a pickup from another rental office — whatever’s easiest.
🏕️ You’ll head to your cosy elopement home base, and I’ll swing by to say hi. We’ll go over everything so that when the day arrives, you’re just vibing — not stressing.
💍 On elopement day, we roll out for adventure. First looks and those "omg-it’s-happening" butterflies? I’ll be there capturing it all while we travel to your ceremony location (cue dramatic Icelandic scenery). You’ll exchange vows surrounded by nature that looks like it belongs in a movie — because Iceland doesn’t do boring.
📝 Paperwork? Already handled. You? Fully present. After you say “I do,” we keep the magic going with more photos in jaw-dropping spots you probably didn’t even know existed.
💡 Bonus round: If you’ve planned something extra fun (think glacier hiking, kayaking, or soaking in a hot spring under the stars), I’m so in — camera ready, snacks packed, let’s go.

”Our Iceland elopement with Lisa was amazing from the moment we began exchanging emails with her. Our first impression was just how professional and organized she was. Lisa responded to our emails incredibly fast and always had detailed information and assistance for us. We had a few virtual chats with her while we were in the planning phase and it felt so natural, like planning an adventure with a friend (who knows all about Iceland!). She helped us finalize our locations, prepared us for what to expect, eased all of our worries, assisted us with other vendors, and even helped us find a dry cleaner! All of this is in addition to being an amazing photographer and capturing stunning photos of our special day.
The entire day was an amazing, cold, and rainy adventure, but Lisa truly helped make it fun and memorable. Our favorite photo location was the glaciers which were actually a last-minute addition to the day! We wouldn't have even known about the location if Lisa had not told us about it and led us there. She knows all of the best-secluded spots to take amazing photos. Overall our experience with Lisa was wonderful and we are so happy to have worked with her.”
