Elopement in Iceland
Thinking of skipping the big wedding and doing something that actually feels like you? Iceland is full of wild, beautiful spots that are perfect for an intimate “I do.” Just a short drive from Reykjavík, you’ll find waterfalls crashing through mossy cliffs, black sand beaches, and landscapes that feel straight out of a dream.
Whether you imagine exchanging vows beneath Seljalandsfoss, standing on the basalt columns of Reynisfjara Beach, or tucked away by a quiet lake, I’ll help you find a spot that fits your story. Want something even more off the radar? Maybe Brúarfoss with its striking blue waters, the lava cliffs of Krýsuvík, or the calm stillness of Kleifarvatn.
This isn’t about checking off famous locations - it’s about creating a day that feels real, personal, and just a little bit surreal. Iceland’s nature has a way of doing that.
Let’s plan something unforgettable.

What My Clients Say...
"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 🍀

Black Lava Elopement | Iceland Adventure Wedding
"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

What’s the Best Time of Day to Elope in Iceland?The best time to elope in Iceland depends on the season and natural light.

I’ll help plan your elopement timeline so we shoot during the most magical light for your Iceland elopement photos.
