Iceland Wedding Photography // Annika & Doug

We’ve put brides and grooms in a lot of odd spots for portraits.
Allies that smelled like dead bodies, precarious cliffs, glaciers, the middle of deserts, pot fields, and on and on. When we took Annika and Doug away for their portraits at 1AM during a rainstorm in Iceland, that situation really took the cake.
Their wedding was at Hotel Budir, Iceland, located in the western region of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. It’s an isolated place about two hours north of Reykjavik. To have a destination wedding in Iceland is rare as it is, but adding this location to the story made this wedding that much more unique.
All in all, we photographed Annika and Doug’s wedding non-stop for about 16 hours. If it would have been 30 hours, we would have had no problems. We didn’t want it to end.
Annika and Doug’s wedding in Iceland was featured in Style Me Pretty, Mr Wolf Magazine, and Brides Without Borders.

Me and DH also got married at that church, by the same priest. Our reception was at lovely Langaholt (www.langaholt.is) but we spent our wedding night at Hótel Búðir. We have been married for a little more than 3 years now and these pictures did make me feel those butterflies again. Wow. What an amazing place. An amazing day. An amazing husband i have. I wish you all the best. Love and Peace.

Great photos....my wife and I just returned from a two week visit to friends in Hafnarfjordur and we traveled in the same area where the wedding was located. It was incredibly beautiful, as were the many other areas we visited. The diversity and the beauty of the country is captivating and it as geologically active as any place you will visit.
