Hi, I'm Jessica, your Iceland elopement photographer and guide.
Ready to plan your Iceland elopement? Here are a few tips to get you started:
Iceland offers plenty of adventures, from exploring ice caves to relaxing in hot springs. Make your day as adventurous as your love story, ensuring it's memorable and enjoyable, not just picture-perfect.
Even though you're eloping, there are still details to manage, like obtaining your marriage license, securing location permits, and arranging for witnesses. Make a checklist to ensure a stress-free celebration, or you can download ours for free here.
Iceland's weather is best in the summer months (June to August) when the days are long and the weather is mild. However, winter elopements offer a chance to see the Northern Lights. Iceland's weather is notoriously unpredictable. Pack layers, waterproof gear, and be prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions.
Elopements are intimate by nature, so personalize your celebration. Write your own vows, choose meaningful music, and incorporate special touches that reflect your relationship. Whatever it is that makes you two unique as a couple, include it.
Whether you're drawn to the dramatic waterfalls, the black sand beaches of Vik, or the otherworldly landscapes of the Golden Circle, pick a location that reflects both of your personalities, and your love story. You won't regret finding the perfect spot that really represents who you are as a couple.
A great photographer can help you plan your elopement, guide you through getting necessary permits, scout out the best locations, and capture stunning photos that you'll cherish forever. Make sure you're hiring someone who knows the area well and can help with these elements, especially where safety is concerned. This is what I do for all my couples eloping in Iceland.

"My wife discovered Jessica through instagram after we decided to get eloped in St. Augustine, Florida. A charming place we absolutely fell in love with that now shares a special place in our memories and our hearts. Initially what attracted us to Jessica were not just the photos, but the photo concepts Jessica creates ie. the double exposures, which are absolutely phenomenal. But as it turns out as well, Jessica has a vast network of vendors who helped create a beautiful memory of the special day by producing the most stunning flower arrangements, wedding cake design, and romantic beachside picnic setting, as well as an officiant who provided a memorable and touching ceremony.
