''Steph is extraordinarily caring and really tends to your specific requests in a photoshoot!''

I was so lucky to have found her to take our engagement photos...the spots she chose were phenomenal and the photos turned out incredibly special to us. She made the whole process - from consulting about my needs to the day of the photoshoot - as streamlined and as easy as possible!!! Would highly recommend.

ICELAND COUPLE’S ADVENTURE PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS
Frequently Asked Questions

Iceland Adventure Portrait Photography Sessions are so much fun and used for so many things! When you are coming to Iceland to celebrate your engagement, honeymoon, vow renewal or private reading, your babymoon, or just to see the nature then an Adventure Photography Session is perfect.

And if you’re going to propose and get engaged in Iceland, I got you covered for that, too.

These Iceland couple’s photography sessions do not feel like a really long photoshoot and if they did then I would not be doing what I do best. These sessions feel like the adventure experience they are. They are so you can experience the wonders of nature & feel free while having fun. I have documented adventure sessions of course in Iceland, the Catskills, the mountains of Ireland, and more. See below for some FAQ about Adventure Portrait Photography sessions.

Why do you offer Iceland Adventure Photography Sessions?

Iceland Adventure Photography sessions are honestly SO much fun. There is no pressure, no stress, and just an entire day filled with wanderlust and making you look like you’re on the cover of a (Wes Anderson) romance novel. Exploring Iceland’s nature, letting your walls down, feeling confident, and having a moment with your boo (or just yourself!) is an experience everyone deserves.

 

What is involved in Iceland Engagement Photography Session.

For these Iceland engagement and photography sessions, we will talk about your dreams for the day. Do you want a short session so you can continue on the rest of your day trip around Iceland afterwards?

Or, do you want an experience where we create a custom Iceland location itinerary for you of places you more than likely didn’t know existed? While we have snacks, laugh, and take some epic photos? Whichever you prefer, we can make it happen for you. After booking we will organize how to fit it into your Iceland trip and I will do the rest for you.

Private Waterfall Secret Iceland Proposal in Early Summer with Mini-Engagement Photosession
Private Waterfall Secret Iceland Proposal in Early Summer with Mini-Engagement Photosession

I love doing Iceland proposals, in case you didn’t know and are new around these parts.

They are fun, exciting, and helping keep them a secret is my personal joy. For this Iceland proposal at a secluded waterfall with J&J in the wee early summer months, we not only pulled it off with great success, but, we also smoothly recovered a wardrobe malfunction before J even knew she was going to be in a photoshoot.
