A couple weeks ago I was incredibly fortunate enough to travel to Iceland with Amelia and Zach, where they would exchange their vows in the most beautiful place on earth and became husband and wife. Experiencing this landscape with them, and photographing their elopement, was life changing. Iceland has been a dream of mine for a very long time, and to shoot an elopement there? Is this real life?
For their day-before session, we first headed east to Seljavallalaug, a geothermal pool nestled in a valley below the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano. We hiked beyond the pool and found beautiful moss covered valleys with dozens of waterfalls. We swam in the warm waters of the pool, which will always be the most beautiful and epic pool swim I'll ever experience.
Later we headed west to the Reykjanes Peninsula. It was like another planet. Lava fields covered in beautiful lush moss, the steam of hot springs, and rocky cliffs meeting the cold ocean.
