Iceland Wedding Photographer // Sophia & James
Instead of the traditional UK wedding, Sophia and James wanted a simple affair in a spectacular location. Just the two of them, amazing nature and someone to capture their day in stills.
Never having been to Iceland before, they were attracted by its melancholy and natural wonders. So, just like that, they bought plane tickets, booked the black church at Budir and flew in a photographer from Sweden.
Why not.
Iceland showed it’s best, moody side the day they exchanged vows in Budir, a tiny place a few hours north-west of Reykjavik. Cole and I have visited Iceland a few times by now, but the landscapes never cease to amaze us. It’s the perfect destination if mind-blowing surroundings is what you want for your wedding.
Here’s Sophia and James’ story.

Sophia and James’ wedding was featured on Rock N Roll Bride, Pjatt (Icelandic) and Der Schweizer Hochzeitsblog (German).
