ELOPEMENT
ELOPE IN ICELAND
Elopement & Secret Proposal Photographer in Iceland
Hi! I’m Yael, a photographer based in Iceland with a background in fine art.
I moved to Iceland after years of longing. Something about this place - the stillness, the space, the drama of the landscapes - called to me long before I ever landed. Now it’s home, and it shapes everything about how I work.
I photograph elopements and surprise proposals in a way that’s both emotional and intentional, using light, color and composition to tell stories that feel true. No forced poses, no big performance. Just the two of you, the way you are, in a place that lets you breathe.
If you're planning something small, real, and meaningful, I’d love to be part of it.

Thinking of Eloping in Iceland?
If a big wedding doesn’t feel like your thing, an elopement in Iceland might be. Just the two of you, fully present - no timelines, no guests to entertain, just wild beauty and real connection.
I work with couples who want something intimate, honest, and deeply personal. From mossy cliffs to roaring waterfalls, I’ll help you find a spot that fits your story - and I’ll be there to document it in a way that feels natural, raw, and true to you.
Let’s turn your elopement into something unforgettable.

Planning a Surprise Proposal in Iceland?
You’re about to ask one of the biggest questions of your life - and you want it to feel like you. Not staged. Not stressful. Just the two of you, somewhere unforgettable.
I’ll help you plan a proposal that feels natural, personal, and full of intention. Whether it’s beside a waterfall, on a black sand beach, or tucked away in the quiet highlands, we’ll find a spot that fits your story - and I’ll document it in a way that feels real.
Iceland has no shortage of dramatic landscapes - cliffs, mossy lava, glacier lagoons - but it’s not about the scenery alone. It’s about the connection between you, and the powerful moment you’ll remember forever.
This isn’t just about a “yes.” It’s about creating something you’ll want to relive - and having the photos that let you do it.

"Dear Yael, It was a great pleasure, a fantastic experience, and great fun to have you as our wedding photographer. Communicating with you was very easy and also the integration of our wishes and ideas was never a problem. We also appreciated your creative and professional way of setting us and our son in a perfect light and position and we love the result of so many pictures you took from us in the stunning nature of Iceland. The price for the whole package was fair from our point but the most important thing for us was that it felt like being together with good friends! It was amazing and a day we'll never forget! Thank you very much, Jutta and Christian 🍀

"Yael was a real pleasure to work with. She was super helpful in identifying scenic locations despite unpredictable weather conditions and put a lot of thought and care into planning the shoot to fit what I needed. Yael has the most exciting eye for photoshoots that I've ever seen! Her works are unique, different from everyone I know, and filled with emotion. I was following her on Instagram for a long time because her work was always astonishing for me. She took good care of us and from the first moment, I felt that she was very professional and experienced. She knew and planned everything she was doing. From the moodboard at the beginning, she understood our taste until the small details of the wedding. We met a day before to plan the big day and choose the best locations for the photoshoot. On the day itself, she was always there for us but at the same time, my husband's family didn't want to have any interruptions so we didn't feel her at all. She made us feel as if she was in the background. Everything was natural. At the same time, she was almost like my bridesmaid helping me carry stuff, laughing, and thinking outside the box about how she could help. And the most important thing is that she made us look like not more than king and queen. Every photo is like an art piece. Highly recommend!" Gali and Ben
Iceland Secret Proposal
"I emailed a dozen photographers in Iceland about a surprise proposal I had coming up on a visit to Iceland a week prior to the event. Yael was very responsive, sent me some great ideas for a location, then executed capturing the event perfectly. I chose package 1 and she sent us 15 awesome photos from all the ones she captured, and we selected even more from all the raw photos she had sent as well. Could not recommend her enough, she does great work." Damien Halverson
