Envision your wedding day in Iceland:
Every moment with your partner, every laugh, every happy tear; captured forever. The moment when you see each other for the first time all dressed up, when your mother sheds a happy tear for you saying “I do” and those late-night dance moves on the floor. Our photography brings all the emotions that make your day uniquely yours.
Hey, I’m Lisa. Wedding photographer in Iceland.
Located in Vik, South Iceland.
Take a deep breath. Planning a wedding in another country can feel overwhelming. I’m here to make sure it will feel exciting and photograph the wedding day that will make you laugh, emotional and cry happy tears.
I photograph weddings across Iceland and I’m based in South Iceland. Within 40 minutes of driving, you can reach the ice caves, waterfalls, glaciers and within 2 minutes a black sand beach. And I can’t wait to show you all these places!
My approach to photography combines guided direction and candid shots, capturing the authentic essence of your wedding day. From heart-pounding adventures to intimate ceremonies, every moment is beautifully documented, including stunning drone shots to capture Iceland's breathtaking landscapes from above.
“ 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 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.”

I want to express my deepest gratitude for Lisa's outstanding work as our wedding photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care have made our special day truly unforgettable, and I cannot thank her enough.
From the moment we first laid eyes on the photographs, it was evident that her skill and passion for photography shone through in every frame. Each image captured the essence of our love and celebration, and we were absolutely thrilled with the results. Her ability to create a consistent and beautiful tone throughout the photos is truly remarkable, and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out.
Beyond her incredible photography skills, I am immensely grateful for the exceptional service her provided on the day of our wedding. Despite the challenges and demands of the day, Lisa and her friend worked tirelessly to ensure that every moment was captured perfectly. Her dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed, and we are forever appreciative of the effort Lisa put into making our day so special.
My friends and family, in total 19 people, came all the way from China to Iceland for the wedding. As foreigners getting married in Iceland, we were unfamiliar with the area and logistics involved. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and her thoughtful recommendations regarding the timeline, locations, and other details were incredibly helpful. Lisa's expertise provided us with much-needed peace of mind.
Looking back on our communications with Lisa, I am reminded of her unwavering dedication and commitment to ensuring that every aspect of our wedding was perfect. Despite the time difference between China and Iceland, Lisa was always prompt in her responses and never hesitated to address any concerns or questions we had. Her patience, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond for us did not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for her exceptional service.
On the day of the wedding, Lisa went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at ease. Her thoughtful gestures, such as lending me her coat when I felt cold in my wedding dress and providing hand warmers, truly touched our hearts. Her warmth and friendliness made us feel like we were in the company of an old friend.
Additionally, Lisa's attention to safety and preparedness did not go unnoticed. By ensuring that she invited a friend with rescue experience accompany us to various locations for photoshoots, she demonstrated her commitment to our well-being, and we felt safe and secure in her hands.
Working with Lisa has been an absolute pleasure, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have Lisa capture our special day.
