Black Sand Beach Wedding Photoshoot in Iceland

We cannot thank God enough for the incredible light we had on this sunny December day at Reynisfjara. It was really something described like the heaven light – it was out of this world. This is why it’s really worth eloping in Norway or Iceland in the wintertime! You’re getting such a small amount of light, but all of it is a neverending golden hour!
By arriving early we managed to escape 90% of the crowds which can easily make your wedding day pretty nervous, so it’s crucial to arrange the whole itinerary of the day with the local Icelandic photographers like us.

Miracles happening on that day continued, and it was a total surprise for all of us. We’ve visited Kvernufoss for elopement portraits many times before, but on that day it even overcame itself – it was completely backlit by the golden sunlight. Iceland was really showing off that day! Just look at how everything turned out!
