Southern Iceland Adventure Elopement

After my friend-cation with Annie, I stayed in Iceland for a couple more days. My friend Halldóra of Arctic Weddings Iceland messaged me and asked if I would be open to helping her photograph a wedding at a waterfall, then a super-jeep ride to a canyon, and then a helicopter ride to the erupting volcano, Fagradalsfjall. Ummm….. YES PLEASE! I still can’t really believe that it all happened. It was at least a 12-hour day but you can do that kind of thing in the midnight sun pumped full of adrenaline. The couple literally could not have been more stoked and we all had a wild time together. One of my absolute favorite memories is that the groom took almost as many photos as Halldóra and I did. That, and the helicopter/volcano.

Linekin Bay Wedding: Jen and Colin

Longtime love finally being made into a marriage is always a beautiful thing to witness, but I have to say that the tears that Jen shed throughout the day were a reminder of her presence and her gratefulness to be here now. The time we spent with them at sunset was truly fun. We didn’t have to pose them hardly at all because they just scampered about laughing and snuggling. What more could a photographer ask for? Kind people? Check. Fun dancing? Check. Beautiful setting? Check. Well… I’m happy.

Brownfield Maine, Mountain Wedding: Maddie and Corey

“WHERE ARE WE?” That’s what I kept saying to Dan as we drive further and further into Maine. I’m still a little confused as to where we actually were but we made it there, wherever “there” was. When we arrived, we got to walk into a welcoming, happy, laid-back, joyful, loving, salt-of-the-earth, Mainer family. As much as a wedding day is filled with sweet moments, my absolute favorite moment was when the rain started, the second they began their processional from their ceremony. It was a bit of magic.

Pine Point Beach Maine Wedding: Alicia and Brandon

Happy getaway/wedding to these two. Hailing from far away, Buffalo NY, they stole away to sweet sweet Maine to elope. Proper.

We met them at an Airbnb, walked across the street to the ocean, and there they got married. Just like that. We spend a few hours with them taking photos in a new spot for us, which we really really liked. Super Maine-y if you ask me. Then… just like that, (I know I’ve said that twice now but it really did feel FAST), we were hugging them goodbye and wishing them well in their marriage. Also… can we just take in the sparkle of Alicia’s dress, please. Wow. Wow. Wow. and wow again. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the song I ALWAYS hear in my head when I think of Alicia! What a gem. <3
