ICELAND ELOPEMENT and intimate wedding PHOTOGRAPHER

I help couples craft and document their unique and intimate elopement experiences

Why elope?

eloping is for couples who value experiences over things, and connection over convention.
It’s for those who want their wedding day to be about them — not seating charts, small talk, or expectations.

If that sounds like you—
you’re in the right place!

You and your soulmate drinking champagne and sharing wedding cake on the edge of a breathtaking canyon that feels like it belongs in Lord of the Rings. It’s midnight, but the sun still lingers on the horizon, casting golden light across the cliffs. Moments ago, you exchanged vows—just the two of you, wrapped in the raw beauty of Iceland. There’s no one else around. Just the sound of a distant waterfall and birds soaring above. It’s not just a wedding—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“I was so stressed out but Chris made everything so much easier and quickly changed the day (which would have been a disaster and impossible without her). She absolutely went above and beyond her role and helped me fix the issue with my dress. She was a designer, a therapist, a friend and a photographer that day for me.”
