Few places on Earth offer the cinematic beauty and untouched nature that Iceland does. From black sand beaches to glacial lagoons and volcanic mountains, Iceland is a canvas of contrasts — ideal for couples who love adventure, elegance, and a little bit of wild.
Whether you're planning a symbolic elopement, an intimate ceremony, or simply a styled prewedding session, Iceland offers you privacy, romance, and epic scenery in every direction.
Why Choose Iceland for Your Prewedding or Elopement?
Best Locations for Prewedding & Elopement Photography in Iceland
Here are some of the most iconic and photograph-worthy destinations we love:
Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach – dramatic ocean views with basalt columns and sea spray.
Skógafoss & Seljalandsfoss Waterfalls – two of Iceland’s most stunning and accessible falls.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon – dreamy icebergs and reflections like no other.
Vík í Mýrdal – a charming town with incredible cliffs, lava fields, and beach views.
Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon – surreal textures and winding green cliffs.
Thingvellir National Park – historic and geological wonder, ideal for symbolic vows.
Private Lava Fields or Highland Areas – perfect for a more exclusive shoot.
Want something more private? We can help you scout hidden gems far from the crowds.
When Is the Best Time to Shoot in Iceland?
Each season offers a different kind of magic:
Summer (June to August): Midnight sun and lush greenery; perfect for long photoshoot days.
Autumn (September to October): Fewer tourists and golden landscapes.
Winter (November to March): Snowy backdrops and potential Northern Lights!
Spring (April to May): Wildflowers, thawing waterfalls, and soft colors.
🌿 Our favorite? Mid-June to early September for the best weather flexibility.
Symbolic or Legal Ceremony?
While Iceland allows international couples to legally marry, many of our clients choose to handle the paperwork at home and have a symbolic ceremony in Iceland — for less stress and more freedom.
If you’re set on a legal ceremony, we can assist you with a checklist of the documents required (at least 3 weeks in advance) and connect you with local officiants and translators.
