“If you are looking for someone in Iceland, you better pray Lisa is available as she will blow your socks off.” -Chris
Meet your elopement photographer:
Lisa McWhirter.
I'm thrilled to welcome you to the world of adventurous elopements in Iceland!
I’m Lisa McWhirter and I have been calling Iceland home for over three years. Usually, you can find me capturing adventurous elopements on a glacier, surrounded by mountains or feeling the water drops from a waterfall.
With nine years of photography experience: Say goodbye to strict posed photoshoots and hello to candid moments of love and excitement!
My favourite part of elopement is the magic moment when the couple realizes they've made the perfect choice to elope. Seeing that sheer joy and contentment on their faces is what it's all about for me.
See you in Iceland!”
-Lisa
“ She listened to all of our requests and ideas, making us feel valued and heard.”
“ Lisa immediately made me feel at ease with her positive energy and eagerness not only in her photography but sharing her joy of such a beautiful country.”
“ When we found Lisa we hit the jackpot! Everything got easier when planning our Iceland elopement day.”
“ From keeping us warm with hot chocolate and hand warmers to updating us on storms, Lisa went above and beyond.”
“We felt safe, like friends, and like she was really invested in our happiness.”
Comprehensive Planning & Coordination – We've Got You Covered
Eloping in Iceland should feel like an adventure, not a logistical nightmare. From navigating travel plans to securing permits and choosing the right vendors, planning from afar can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
With years of experience and deep local connections, I take care of all the details so you don’t have to. Whether it’s arranging transportation, keeping an eye on ever-changing Icelandic weather, or coordinating with trusted vendors, I ensure your elopement is seamless and stress-free. My hands-on approach means you’ll have expert guidance at every step—from scouting the perfect ceremony location to helping you pack for the unpredictable Icelandic climate.
All you have to do is show up, soak in the beauty, and say your vows. I’ll handle the rest.
What this means to you, besides booking a local photographer:
Planning an overseas elopement can be quite nerve-wracking but Lisa helped ease any anxieties we may have felt.
“Lisa is incredible! Planning an overseas elopement can be quite nerve-wracking but Lisa helped ease any anxieties we may have felt. From bridal floral services to car rental insurance, Lisa was always an email or video chat away to help us plan the most magical day.
While we planned our wedding day photo locations well in advance with Lisa, Iceland had some other plans in store for us! The weather was too intense to go to any of our planned locations so, Lisa immediately pivoted and provided multiple backup locations and safety precautions. We were so impressed with Lisa’s wonderful balance of professionalism and friendliness as she guided us through quite an adventurous day! She constantly checked on our well being and made sure we were warm, happy, and safe every step of the way.
Lisa really went the extra mile to put our day together. She was beyond helpful with reaching out to multiple vendors and referring us to Thordis Flowers, Baked in Reykjavík, and the Hair and Makeup Agency, all of which were gorgeous!
Thank you for not only making our day incredible but also capturing all of the magical moments to be cherished and remembered forever.” - Jess & Alejandro
Weather is always part of the planning process when you elope in Iceland—and I’ve built my packages and planning around that.
Here’s how I’ve got you covered:
Built-in backup windows: Every elopement day includes a buffer window or backup day, so if a storm rolls in or the winds make travel unsafe, we have a plan B ready to go.
Flexible timelines: I create flexible timelines where we can pivot locations or shift the day’s flow based on real-time conditions.
Local insight & tools: Living and working here means I check multiple local forecasts (and use my own intuition after years of experience!) to make smart calls for your day. I also work closely with other local vendors and guides to make sure we’re always staying safe *and* maximizing your experience.
Wind-resistant locations & wardrobe tips: Some places look even more epic in wild weather. I help choose spots that photograph beautifully no matter the elements, and I’ll guide you on how to dress so you’re warm, comfortable, and stunning—whether it’s moody skies or snow flurries.
“What if the weather ruins our day?”
“We’re awkward in front of the camera… what if it shows?”
Here’s how you feel confident, relaxed, and genuinely connected on camera:
Comfort Over Posing: I won’t have you stiffly hold hands and stare at a mountain unless you want to. Instead, I give gentle prompts that get you moving, talking, laughing, or holding each other in a way that feels real. Think “run across the field like you just got engaged” or “pull each other in like it’s the last hug before a long trip.”
Pre-Session Connection: Before we even meet in Iceland, we’ve already connected through planning calls, voice memos, and shared visions. You’ll know exactly what to expect, and that familiarity makes a big difference on the day.
Read-the-Room Energy: If you're hype and full of adrenaline, I’ll ride that wave with you. If you're quieter, introverted, or want more tender, soft moments, I’ll match that vibe. I’m not here to force a mood—I’m here to document the one you’re living.
In-Between Magic: Some of the best photos happen in between the “big” moments. The wind-blown kiss. The look you give each other after exchanging vows. The quiet hand squeeze before a hike. I stay present and ready to catch those moments without interrupting them.
“Do we have to hike to get those epic Iceland photos?”
Here’s the truth: You absolutely do not have to hike to access incredible cinematic locations in Iceland.
On my website, I share this because it’s one of the biggest myths:
"You don’t have to hike if that’s not your thing — and you also don’t have to hike far to get epic views either. Some of Iceland’s most stunning places are just a short walk from the car."
That means:
You can bring your grandparents, and they’ll still be wowed.
You can elope in comfort and still look like you’re in a dream.
And if you do want to hike? Great—I’ll match you with the perfect trail that fits your ability and gives you space to soak in the views (and snack breaks, always snack breaks).
I tailor your locations to your comfort level—whether that’s a 2-minute stroll or a 2-hour trail. You get the drama of Iceland’s landscapes without the stress or pressure of feeling like you have to “earn it” with a big trek.
Your day is all about you, and guess what? You get to call the shots! So, if you're thinking about including your family and friends in the celebration, I'm all for it!
I've had the privilege of working with many couples who chose to elope surrounded by their nearest and dearest. There's something truly magical about sharing such an intimate moment with the ones you love most.
Now, if you're wondering how to navigate the ins and outs of including your loved ones on your elopement day, I've got plenty of planning tips up my sleeve, and I can't wait to share them with you.
From finding the perfect location that accommodates both your desires and your guests' needs to crafting a ceremony that speaks to the heart of your relationship, we'll work together to ensure that your elopement day is everything you've ever dreamed of and more.
“Can our families and friends join our day?
Bringing your elopement vision to life: every moment with your partner, every laugh, every happy tear; captured forever. Our photography brings all the emotions that make your day uniquely yours.
What truly sets Lisa apart, however, is her ability to make you feel like old friends from the moment you meet.
“From the moment we stumbled upon Lisa's portfolio, we knew we had found someone special to document our elopement. And boy, were we right!
Lisa exudes professionalism in every aspect of her work. From our initial inquiry to the final delivery of our stunning photos, she was prompt, organized, and incredibly attentive to our vision. Her thoughtful approach made us feel heard and understood every step of the way. What truly sets Lisa apart, however, is her ability to make you feel like old friends from the moment you meet. Despite having just met her on our elopement day, she effortlessly blended in, making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Her warm demeanour and genuine interest in our story created an atmosphere of comfort and trust, allowing us to relax and be ourselves throughout the entire shoot.
The way Lisa captured our love and connection was nothing short of magical. Every frame reflects not just the beauty of the scenery, but the depth of emotion shared between us. She has an incredible eye for detail, capturing the fleeting moments and subtle gestures that tell our story in the most authentic way possible.
We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Lisa to capture our elopement. Her professionalism, thoughtfulness, and ability to make us feel like lifelong friends have left us with not just photos, but cherished memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. If you're looking for someone to document your special day with heart and soul, look no further than Lisa. She is an absolute gem in the world of elopement photography.” -Coral & Joshua

Lisa was the best choice we made when planning our trip to Iceland!
“ From the beginning, she was there for us in every possible way. She helped us work through every question and situation that arose before we got there and we were so impressed with her communication leading up to our elopement.
I didn't feel like she was "just" our photographer the day of, we got to know each other in the months leading up and it made our day feel more personal and fun. She helped me feel confident and stress-free too! We really appreciated how knowledgeable she was about our locations and Iceland as a whole, it felt like we had our own personal tour guide and learned so much about the country.
On our day we had some unfavourable weather but Lisa still made it fun, she made the best of situations and it turned out to be an adventure we will never forget. We got our photos back so quickly and were over the moon with how they turned out. We have gotten so many compliments on them. I cannot recommend McWhiter elopements enough - you will be so thankful you chose someone who is great at what they do but also really takes care of her couples. Thank you for making our elopement so special Lisa!” - Nicole & Trevor

Iceland isn’t the cheapest elopement destination, but there are ways to do it on a budget! It all comes down to what you want from your day. You can expect your Iceland Elopement to cost at least $ 5000-20 000. That includes the photographer and other vendors but doesn't include time beyond your wedding day. You read about the costs in this blog post: A breakdown of Iceland elopement costs.

When deciding how many locations you can visit on your elopement day, the first thing to consider is the amount of time you have. In this example, I will use an example of a 6-hour elopement package.
When deciding how many locations you can visit on your elopement day, the first thing to consider is the amount of time you have. Most elopement photographers offer different package options, and the length of time you choose will determine how many locations you can visit. For instance, if you choose a 6-hour package, you will have more time to visit multiple locations than if you choose a 2-hour package.
In the 6-hour package, you can decide if you want to have getting-ready pictures or only focus on the ceremony and locations. With 6 hours, there is time for 3-4 locations, and you will have enough time to enjoy each location fully.
Another factor to consider when deciding how many places you can visit on your elopement day is the logistics of each location. For instance, if you plan to visit a location that requires a long drive, you may need to limit the number of locations you visit to ensure that you have enough time to travel between each location. Additionally, some locations may require permits or have limited access, which can also impact the number of locations you can visit.
Finally, when deciding how many places you can visit on your elopement day, you need to prioritize your must-visit locations. If there are specific locations that are important to you, make sure to allocate enough time for those locations. It's better to spend more time at fewer locations that are meaningful to you than to rush through multiple locations and not have enough time to enjoy each one.
