Akureyri Destination Wedding in Iceland | Erika + Jared
The Couple and Their Destination Wedding IN Akureyri and the North of Iceland
We’re deeply in love with the north of Iceland and the Akureyri region! Although this part of Iceland is comparably not popular for tourism, because it’s comparably far to drive from Reynikavik and the most touristy – south of Iceland. The highland road, leading to the north passes through the highlands and the center of Iceland which is often covered with snow and has difficult driving conditions even in May or June! Pro tip for safe driving in Iceland – always check SAFETRAVEL.IS, where you can find all the information needed!
Despite all said above, we always support the idea of having a wedding there, because you can spend your whole wedding day in complete privacy, meeting only birds and sheep! just like it was at this wedding. It was very special for us in all kinds: it was a super warm day, full of sun, and the whole surroundings were in full bloom, looking so untouched like Tolkien’s Shire.
From a Slow gettiNG ready with the family at the farm To hiking high in the mountains for a wedding ceremony, This Is How To Get Married in the norht of Iceland the Adventurous Way
Erika and Jared had a very cozy getting ready, afterwards, we hiked up for 1.5 hours to the mountain lake for an evening Iceland elopement ceremony (yes, everyone including guests!).

“We can not express enough how absolutely beautiful these are! I just can’t stop looking at them! The way you captured us and our family is just incredible. It feels like I am living through that day all over again but this time I get to go through it! You didn’t just capture us but our story as well. Thank you so much. It was worth every second of waiting ❤️”

Why Elope or Get Married in the North of Iceland Region
Wild Beauty Without the Crowds
While everyone flocks to the south, the north of Iceland keeps it chill. You’ll get stunning fjords, volcanic craters, and waterfalls without jostling for elbow room. It’s like having all of Iceland’s best features to yourselves.
Go Big or Go Intimate
Whether you want to say your vows by the powerful Dettifoss waterfall, in the otherworldly Ásbyrgi canyon, or surrounded by the dreamy fjords, the north has options for every vibe—epic and grand or sweet and secluded.
Northern Lights? Yes, Please!
The north is one of the best spots to catch the Aurora Borealis. Imagine wrapping up your wedding day with the sky lighting up in greens and pinks, like nature’s fireworks celebrating your love.
It Feels Like a Real-Life Fairytale
Picture this: you’re eloping in the fjords, misty waterfalls, and otherworldly craters. The north has a magical vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook, but this time, you’re the main characters.
Unplugged and Unforgettable
The North of Iceland lets you leave the hustle behind and focus on what matters: your love. It’s peaceful, remote, and untouched, giving you the perfect space to connect with each other—and the stunning nature around you.
