Your authentic Iceland elopement adventure
Escape the noise. Find the wild. Elope to Iceland.
In a land where legends sleep beneath lava fields
and stars whisper above eternal ice,
your love becomes part of a saga.
Not all fairytales begin in castles.
Some begin in the hush of a mossy valley, where basalt cliffs rise like ancient guardians and the wind carries whispers older than time. Iceland is not just a place — it is a threshold. A land where love feels ancient and raw, and your Iceland elopement becomes more than a ceremony — it becomes a myth, a saga, whispered from a glacier and told at a bonfire.
Here, there is no stage. No audience. No guests waiting. The world in its roughest form is at your feet to witness just the two of you. You choosing the wild, the pure, and each other — deeply, freely, and in your own way.
Whether you’re drawn to hidden waterfalls, windswept beaches, or the glow of the northern lights, your Iceland elopement can be as raw, intimate, and extraordinary as the black sand beneath your feet. As pure as your love.
Let me guide you into the heart of it.
With gentle hands and an eye for the epic, I’ll help you shape a day that feels like stepping into your own legend — grounded, soulful, and beautifully real. And always tailored to your needs.
Why Iceland?
Iceland is a land of raw, untouched beauty where volcanic landscapes, towering waterfalls, and black sand beaches meet vast, windswept silence. It's a place where nature feels ancient and powerful, offering solitude and awe in equal measure. With its shifting skies, volcanic activities, and mystical light, Iceland invites quiet souls to wander and wonder.
So why Iceland? Because it’s raw, real, and untamed. Because the weather doesn’t care about your schedule - and that’s part of the magic. Because here, you don’t have to perform. You just are.
Whether you're hiking through moss-covered lava fields, exchanging vows in front of a waterfall, or sipping coffee in a cozy cabin after saying "I do" in the fog - this is your story. And it deserves to be told with care.
Imagine this
You’re standing on a beach where the sand is black. Where blocks of ice are scattered along the shoreline like forgotten sculptures.
The waves crash. The wind howls. The air is cold and raw. And yet – it’s calm. Centered. Real.
There’s no pressure. No timeline. No stiff traditions.
No crowd watching. No one waiting for you to perform.
Just the two of you. Breathing. Laughing. Holding on to each other, as if the world was built just for this moment.
You move when it feels right. You speak when you want to. You stay quiet when there are no words.
It’s not about poses. It’s not about perfect.
It’s about being. Together. At a place like no other. Present in the moment. Present in the elements. Wild. Free.
This is what an Iceland elopement can feel like.
And I’m here to help you live that feeling – fully.

Hej there!
Hey, I’m Chris – a calm presence, a quiet observer, and someone who believes that your wedding day should feel like yours, not like a performance for others.
I work with couples who want something different. Who care more about connection than perfection. Who feel most alive with messy hair, wind on their skin and boots on the soil. Standing in the elements. Embracing nature to the fullest.
That’s why I love elopements. They are 100% you. And I'm here to document it, gently and honestly. Whether you're eloping in Iceland just the two of you or bringing a handful of your favorite people, I’ll be by your side – helping you feel grounded, seen, and supported.
I've photographed over 300 weddings in all kinds of weather, with all kinds of love. From secret vows in the rain to mountaintop ceremonies in the fog. And every time, I’m reminded: the most powerful photos are the ones that feel like you.
For over 30 years, I've been drawn to the North. I've traveled through Greenland, Svalbard, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Canada, and Denmark – and I've returned to Iceland more times than I can count. It's a place I know deeply, and one that continues to inspire me every time.
You’ve already chosen to elope.
Now let’s make it unforgettable.
“We knew from the beginning that we didn’t want a big wedding. Just the two of us, somewhere raw and real. Iceland felt right – and so did working with Chris.
From the first message, it was clear that Chris understood what we were looking for. He was someone who listened and held space for what we needed. On the day itself, Chris was calm, present, and somehow always one step ahead without ever being intrusive.
The photos he captured feel like us. They’re not just beautiful – they feel like the wind, the silence, the emotion we felt. Chris didn’t just document a day; he told our story in a way that makes us feel seen and understood.
We never felt forced. We felt held. Guided, but never pushed. It was like having a good old friend with us who just happened to create stunning images along the way.
It wasn’t just his photography. It was the care. It was the understanding. It was exactly what we needed."
– Mark & Kate
