Intimate elopement with family and friends.

When Megan and Tyler envisioned their destination elopement in Iceland, they chose to share the experience with family and close friends. Their straightforward approach to planning and the decision to get ready together set the tone for an intimate ceremony on a black sand beach. However, Iceland had its own plans, throwing a mix of rain and fog their way on the elopement day.

Megan and Tyler opted for an intimate elopement experience, bringing along family members and close friends. The decision to share their special day with a select few added a personal touch, making the celebration more meaningful. Planning a destination elopement involves practical considerations. Megan and Tyler navigated the logistics of accommodating their small group in Iceland, ensuring everyone was on board with the unconventional but exciting choice of location.

On the elopement day morning, Megan got her hair and makeup done with her family members and friends. Getting ready together adds an element of intimacy and simplicity to the preparations, highlighting their commitment to sharing every aspect of the day.

Embracing Iceland's Unpredictable Weather.

When you get married, you want to have the “perfect” day. On Megan and Tyler's day, Iceland showed us its rains, and fogginess and also gave us a bit of a heart jump with a possible storm alert for the afternoon that luckily went away. While having a destination elopement in Iceland, anything is possible: cars can not make it to a location since the road is not in driving condition, a car battery can run out, and you can get completely wet on your day. You have to accept, embrace and love all these surprises! Luckily the car battery ran out in Vik town where, Lisa, had friends who could help us get the car charged back to power.

Megan and Tyler were so calm about the fact that not everything went according to plan. And we loved their go-with-the-flow energy.

Ceremony on the Black Sand Beach.

The black sand beach in Iceland served as the unconventional yet captivating backdrop for Megan and Tyler's ceremony. The stark contrast of the dark sand against the ocean created a dramatic setting, perfect for a couple seeking a unique experience. The ceremony was a no-frills affair, aligning with the couple's desire for simplicity. Against the natural beauty of the black sand beach, Megan and Tyler exchanged “I do”, creating a profound moment that spoke more to their connection than any elaborate setup could.

After the ceremony, we enjoyed hot drinks at Skool Beans and then headed to different locations for the photos. The wind kept blowing to the waterfall and the water drops filled us fast to get wet.
