why elope in iceland
Whether you want a wedding day spent exploring 4x4 roads to hidden canyons, or wandering through waterfalls and black sand beaches, or glacial hiking and canyoneering, or relaxing in hot springs, Iceland has the perfect spot for you.
Iceland is home to some of the most beautiful and varied landscapes in the entire world. All you need is an officiant and your marriage license, and it will be official!
Traveling to Iceland

The best airport to fly into is Keflavik International Airport, right outside of Reykjavik. You can easily pick up a renal car or van nearby and it is a great starting point for exploring the country. A bonus is that the Blue Lagoon is only a few minutes away and what better way to get over jet lag, than soaking in some hot springs! There are other airports locations all around the country, 464 in total, but it may be harder to pick up rental cars and flights may be pricer if you choose these options.
Where to stay in Iceland

Where you are choosing to elope in Iceland, will dictate where to stay. Some of the best places to stay in Iceland are Reykjavik, on the Golden Circle, and the Southern Coast (perfect for waterfalls and beaches). There are plenty of hotels, B&Bs, Inns, and short term rentals (Airbnbs/Vrbos) all over the country.
Also look at renting a van or camper for your elopement! There are a ton of incredible campsites all over the country and vanlife gives you the freedom to explore all Iceland has to offer.
Where to elope in Iceland

Iceland has such a variety of places to elope. Depending on the type of landscape you are going for will dictate where you want to elope in Iceland.

But I have some hidden gems up my sleeve for my couples!
what it's like to elope in Iceland with me
through photos

hey, I'm Kelsey!
I'm your Iceland adventure elopement photographer with a whole lot of knowledge about Iceland.
Born and raised in New England, I'm an adventurer at heart. I've explored Iceland three times now, and continue to go back as much as I can. I'm always on the go exploring new places constantly to update my elopement locations for amazing couples like you! I'm a real maple syrup addict, love all things Fall and obsessed with meeting new people.
The outdoors and exploring in new places is what makes me feel alive. So I truly believe I have the best job in the world. Because if you're here, I can imagine you feel the same. I can't wait to daydream up the most perfect day with you and make the dream come to reality. I have a good feeling we'll be good friends and have the best time together!
hear it from my couples



"On the day of our elopement, Kelsey delivered with her amazing energy. She’s not there to stiffly pose you, she’s there to document the real moments for you as a couple and while she’ll offer direction when you need it, she’ll awe you by catching all the beautiful, genuine, special, tearful, joyful moments you’ll remember forever."
"She provided us with guidance right from the get-go, answering questions about everything from hiking boots to hair and makeup crises to permits, and took our vague, half-formed suggestions (Acadia National Park, foliage, mountain and water views, can we take a boat ride??) and turned them into something both achievable and magical."
"I didn't realize how many ways that an elopement photographer could help you prior to the big day, but Kelsey absolutely has the bases covered! She will be your hype-girl throughout the whole process and will be there with tips, recommendations, and encouragement!"
