Their Iceland Wedding photos Adventure Day 1

Why is Iceland such a great place to elope + why is everyone talking about it?!

Well let me ask you this. Do you ever dream of distant lands filled with adventure, majestic waterfalls, giant lava fields, coastal black beaches, volcanos, mountains, glaciers and tons of rich history? Well this European Island in the North Atlantic has it all, making Iceland a great place to elope! It has a wide variety of geological contrasts throughout the entire island, meaning you can literally find your own slice of perfect for your wedding ceremony. Whether it’s a very well known waterfall from your favorite series or a hidden lava tube you swear your the only two people for miles. There’s always a new hidden gem to explore and find!!

Parts of Iceland are easily recognizable from famous movies and TV shows (big Game of Thrones fan here!) But, you really cannot grasp just how unreal this place is… until you are standing there. Boots on the ground, looking up at the biggest waterfall your eyes have ever seen - feeling the power of the mist from the falls literally slapping you in the face - THAT moment is magic. For a minute, I stood there in complete awe, having an actual out of body experience - How the hell could I actually be in Iceland right now, with the most wildly in love couple, in the most insane landscape I’ve ever laid eyes on?! It’s truly surreal, even thinking back on it now and looking through these photos of them adventuring around South Iceland’s greatest waterfall in their wedding attire. I am in disbelief that people actually get to live there.

Anna and Dan are two of the most adventurous and beautiful souls I have ever met. We actually photographed their wedding two years ago at a group camp here in Wisconsin. For their honeymoon they traveled around the world in 30 days – so when they heard we were flying to Iceland around their 2 year wedding anniversary we started planning an adventurous photoshoot to celebrate, in the land of fire and ice! I am beyond stoked our travel plans lined up so all of this could happen.

It was such an incredible experience we won’t soon forget! Thank you again Anna & Dan for flying out, running into waterfalls, road tripping the ring road & drinking wine in a field with us at sunset! We are so grateful for you two and wish you many more years of epic adventures together! <3
