Iceland Elopement Photography & Full-Service Planning Packages
Choose from my signature Done For You Elopement™
or a 100% custom Designed For You Elopement™ Iceland elopement experiences.
All Iceland Elopements and Adventure experiences are private, personal, and crafted with my 10+ years of Iceland Elopements.
You can say your vows in Iceland’s dynamic landscapes without 400 randos watching you because you get my hidden gems.
This is a completely customized Iceland elopement experience from hand-picked locations outside of the crowded options, to booking your other vendors, to helping you piece together your Iceland trip, to accommodation assistance, to your elopement sneak peek images almost immediately after.
I’m way more than just a photographer or someone offering ‘‘assistance’’, I’m a complete specialist who has my hands all over your Iceland elopement day, your trip of a lifetime to Iceland, and delivers award worthy images all rolled up into one.
WHAT EACH ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY & PLANNING PACKAGE INCLUDES FOR YOU
FULL COVERAGE PHOTOGRAPHY
Backed with 20 years of experience, and 10 years of Iceland, we will make magic no matter the weather in a natural way.
Your whole elopement from start to finish will be documented with no image limit.
LEGAL PAPERWORK ASSISTANCE
I won’t lie, this is the most stressful part of planning an Iceland elopement with a legal ceremony, so I help you with everything I can while you handle procuring the necessary papers from back home (that I’ll tell you what you need) & I’ll sign as a witness.
FULL-SERVICE PLANNING
Planning an elopement thousands of miles away in a country with a language you don’t speak is hard, so let me handle all of the details from vendors to locations to timeline to coordination.
Each elopement is planned by yours truly.
SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT PACKAGE
I know how exciting it is to show off your epic Iceland elopement, so you’ll have sneak peek images within 48 hours to share on your feed or stories and a vertical video short to post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram.
A highlight video can be added.
SIGNATURE OR CUSTOM-DESIGNED ELOPEMENTS
Through my exclusive Iceland Elopement Alchemy™ process, your entire elopement will be Done For You Designed™ or fully custom from the packages offered, the locations picked, to potential private Mountain Truck tours.
WEATHER MONITORING & BACKUP
Þetta reddast, as we say. However, I monitor the national radar in the days upcoming your elopement and do not book anyone on the days bookending your retained date in case we need to be flexible. Also, I always have location backup plans.
ICELAND TRIP PLANNING ASSISTANCE
With so much misinformation out there about Iceland, it’s near impossible to get accurate info.
I help you from packing lists, itinerary assistance, the best food and breweries, to tattoo shops.
Legacy Experiences come with concierge trip planning.
NO EXTRA TRAVEL FEES
Every custom package presented includes my travel fees for potential accommodation, petrol, day rate, and any necessary permits we might need.
However, it’s rare that we would need a permit for the size of event you’re having.
''She was super responsive to any and all questions… On our wedding adventure photos she was so much fun to be with, we had a blast… We had a great time with her, she’s an excellent tour guide and even better photographer, she is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! I couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect for the job than her to capture these beautiful memories for us!''

The difference: we get to know each other, it’s personal, bespoke, one-to-one the whole way,
I have 20 years of experience with multiple professional cameras— and a background in filmmaking for that dreamy, cinematic style.
Instead of meeting your contracted photographer the day of, minimal communications, and 99% hands-off planning.
I’m basically like having a friend in Iceland who happens to have cameras with her that you’re hanging out with.
And, you will have a local which I can not stress enough is essential here in Iceland with our weather, terrain, climate, and solving problems in real-time.
Why does a photographer also do full-service planning you might be wondering?
In a past life in NYC, I was a production coordinator for big studios coordinating projects with Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Paramount Pictures, NBC, HBO, Coca-Cola, Ray Bans, Leica, and more. I was also a project manager for a major publication, and even a coorporate trainer for Hard Rock.

''Not just the best wedding photos, the best photos of anything! Myself and my husband look at them constantly because they really do invite looking. Steph herself is, as everyone says here, delightful. We are two introverts who nonetheless felt comfortable enough to spend hour after hour with her, probably because she never felt like a stranger.
Also, she understands the ins and outs of getting married in Iceland. She will guide you effortlessly past the potential pitfalls of planning a wedding in a different country - she actually saved us money with some of her advice! ...the wedding day is too significant and goes by too quickly to remember much beyond flashes and fragments. Steph's photos stand in that gap for us - they anchor the day in memory. For my money, they are the most important investment you could make in your wedding. And Steph is the person to choose, both in Iceland and outside of it.''

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Your service is so different from what I see others do- what are the options to work with you?
Yes, I am quite an unconventional type of person. I see rules and I kind of want to break them. Once a punk kid, always a punk kid I guess haha So with that being said, unlike everyone else, there are 2 ways to work with me.
- ONE: You can book me as your photographer & planner where I'll hand-craft a completely unique-to-you elopement experience and create timeless, epic works of art for you. I differ here than others because the day is bespoke rather than a list of pre-determined itineraries for you to pick and my photography style and way of capturing images is also a different approach- there is no posing. This service is the wholeshebang. This is where you can sit back and let me do the heavy lifting, bring the bubbly, and take you on a custom hand-picked location adventure after we have designed your elopement day completely for you two. My secret location service and day-of custom logisitcs planning is kept for this service only. And of course, having me along your side to deliver an epic wedding photography gallery where I make you feel comfortable and seen all day long.
- TWO: If you're visiting Iceland and just need someone to help you plan or review your itinerary, I offer Concierge Planning and Reviews. Contact me via the contact form.
+ Do you document Adventure Elopements & Weddings outside of Iceland?
Yes, I love to travel! I have documented weddings in 6 countries & you can always find me hopping on a plane. Being an American in Iceland, I also am frequently back in the States.
+ We have not picked out our wedding destination yet, is that ok?
Absolutely! We can talk about the locations that are on the top of your list. Patagonia, Iceland, Norway, Scotland, Yosemite, wherever it might be. Once decided, we will create a custom timeline & location itinerary for your wedding. I got you covered.
+ What does an Elopement day feel like?
Your elopement day will feel like you are on top of the world. It’s a day we have crafted together to make you feel completely authentic & comfortable enough to let your walls down. It does not feel like a long photoshoot. Instead, it feels like something absolutely breathtakingly special. It feels like the world is yours for the day while adventuring with your love in an intimate space. You can be as awkward, mushy, or goofy as you want. These are your vows & your promises to each other so feel free to say them however you want
+ Do you help with any elopement planning & have elopement planning packages?
Hecken heck yeah I do. I am essentially your triple threat- help you plan, help day of coordination, and am your photographer. This is why my couples often refer to me as their Elopement Yoda or a unicorn. I will give you resources to pull together all other pieces of your elopement day & trip, build your timeline, a custom location itinerary, and my inbox there for you every step of the way.
+ Do you document Adventure Intimate weddings with guests?
I do! I document elopements and tiny weddings, usually weddings with less than 10 guests. I will help you with elopement style ceremonies, meaning if you need chairs or a not-so-simple set up- I can link you to someone who can help with that as that isn’t my jam.
If you are bringing some loved ones along for the fun, we can talk about how your adventure itinerary & transportation will work on our chat.
+ We are interested in a cinematic film, do you offer this?
If you’re looking for the whole shebang, I offer an Iceland Elopement Photo, Video, and Full-Planning Collection as a team.
You’ll have two dedicated artists capturing your story all day long, instead of someone who is a photographer and takes video clips throughout the day.
Your story will be captured from start to finish, including audio coverage of your vows.
This packages includes:
- All day dedicated photographer
- All day dedicated videographer filmmaker
- Drone footage (when the weather allows)
- A 3-5 minute film in 4k
- Potential add-ons
Iceland Elopement Photography, Videography, and Full-Service Planning package starts at $10,200 (+VAT)
+ Do you have suggestions for breweries, restaurants, & day trips?
Oh yeah I do. ‘All-you-can-eat-soup’ is my middle name. I travel a lot and my main hobby while traveling is eating. So even if your wedding isn’t in Iceland, I can still toss some suggestions your way. Because, food.
+ When do we get help with planning, I don't even know where to begin?
You get help literally as soon as you have decided which type of help you want. Once you have officially booked-in you will start to get my help the second we are official. Literally, immediatly.
+ Ok, so you talk a lot about planning, you're our photographer too, right?
Photography is my first love. I will be your photographer (award winning. published. all that jazz), elopement specialist for planning help, and then day of coordinator once the adventure starts so you do not have to micro-manage or worry about timiing + locations.
In a past life in NYC, I was a production coordinator for big studios coordinating projects with Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Paramount Pictures, NBC, HBO, Coca-Cola, Ray Bans, Leica, and more. I was also a project manager for a major publication, and even a coorporate trainer for Hard Rock.
Planning and coordinating comes second nature to me, so, this is why you get me as a triple threat. (I feel like I should mic drop here.)
Your Iceland elopement will rival the landscapes for which is most epic.
We’ll all be together during your elopement so it’s super important that we connect and you feel comfortable with me.
Eloping outside of Iceland and love what you see?
I’ve been known a time or two to leave this little rock in the North Atlantic to document adventures.
If you’re planning an elopement outside of Iceland, I’ve got you, too!
Maybe a hiking elopement in Iceland, a castle elopement in Scotland, a mountain top elopement in Norway, or a nature-centered wedding anywhere in the world- I’m here to help you and make you feel like you’ve been taken care of every step of the way.
I take on very few travel elopements these days as I try to be more environmentally friendly to this Earth I love so much.
If I’ll be traveling where you’re eloping, I’ll make your custom elopement there, too.
Your wedding isn’t an event to get through.
It’s a day to be in your element and revel in.
One that marks the beginning of the memoir you’re writing together.
Think about the original connection that brought the two of you together. What if your wedding represented how that felt?
If honoring a tradition like a big wedding feels like that’s for other couples then let’s plan one that embodies your entire relationship.
Let’s plan you an iceland elopement that honors the love you’ve found and fostered.
Let’s create a day centered around your relationship, your love, and celebrate this love that’s brought you to this decision- while surrounded by beautiful icelandic landscapes.
