Moody and Rainy Saksun Elopement in the Faroe Islands
Meet The Couple and Their PLan to Have the Elopement in the Faroe Islands
When it comes to elopements in the Faroe Islands, everyone who knows us well also knows that we’re absolute fans of all Scandinavian countries, Nordic weather, mood & of course, nature. That’s why the Faroe were always definitely one of the top destinations, as being destination photographers was always a dream for us. So no joke, when Itzel and Mike first contacted us to be their elopement photographers, we were over the moon excited to craft their future elopement day!
Itzel and Mike, a couple from California, had always been drawn to the raw beauty of Scandinavian landscapes. The Faroe Islands, with their unspoiled nature and serene ambiance, stood out as the perfect backdrop for their intimate elopement.
Planning Their Faroe Islands Elopement Day
Eloping in the Faroe Islands comes with its unique set of challenges – remote locations, unpredictable weather, and limited connectivity (the mobile service coverage, not even saying about 5G!). However, with careful planning and a spirit of adventure, Itzel and Mike and we, all embraced every aspect of the journey.
Their Elopement Day Adventure
So Faroe turned out to be a truly severe and harsh destination, with cold and sharp blade winds even in June (!), endless rains & super low skies…
However, there are a lot of pros as well. First is that this land is unspoiled by people – everything is so wild & authentic. Btw, “Authentic” is probably the right word to describe these Danish islands in the middle of the Atlantic! And second – is that there are almost NO TOURISTS! Can you even imagine that?! Cannot even imagine something similar, when we shoot elopements in the Dolomites, for example!
The day was filled with unexpected moments: missing ferries, navigating through sheep traffic, and getting drenched by sudden downpours. Yet, these very moments added to the authenticity and charm of their elopement, making it truly unforgettable. One of the standout memories was the spontaneous laughter shared while being caught in the rain, capturing the essence of their adventurous spirit and deep connection.
Advice for Couples Thinking About Eloping in the Faroe ISLANDS
The most important advice while planning your elopement is definitely choosing the right season. If you’d like to have more or less predictable, mild weather during your elopement, we advise going for June, July, and September. This way, you’ll boost your chances for comfortable temperatures of around 15-20 degrees Celsius in the daytime, with not so much rain. However, even then, don’t expect Madeira weather during your elopement – you’re in the middle of the Atlantic, right?! This is why choosing the right season for your elopement is so important!
*Pro Tip – Just like while eloping in Iceland, or having an adventure wedding in the Dolomites, prepare several layers to wear under your elopement dress and a suit, a good waterproof raincoat or a jacket (depedning on the month you’ll choose) and hiking boots ( high heels are surely a no-no!) with great grip to beat the terrain.
*Bonus Tip from the Couple – “Embrace the unpredictability. The Faroe Islands offer a unique blend of solitude and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for couples seeking an intimate and memorable elopement experience,” shared Michael and Itzel with us.
Kind Words from Itzel & Mike
“Our elopement in the Faroe Islands was nothing short of magical. Despite the challenges, every moment felt genuine and deeply personal. We’re grateful for the experience and the memories that will last a lifetime!!! Thank you, Tony & Jane!”
