An intimate Iceland Wedding

From Ceremony to Reception: An Intimate Iceland Wedding Journey

If you want a wedding that feels more like a dreamy escape than a formal affair, Iceland is where you want to be. It’s got everything: surreal landscapes, steamy hot springs, and just the right touch of rugged adventure.

A Simple but Stunning Ceremony at Black Sands Beach

The wedding ceremony was held right on Black Sands Beach, and let me tell you, you couldn’t ask for a more perfect setting. There were no decorations needed—the natural scenery did all the work.

The black sand, crashing waves, and dramatic cliffs made it feel like something out of a movie. It was just the two of them, saying their vows with only the sound of the ocean in the background. Talk about romantic!

A Cozy Reception at Hvammsvik Estate

After the ceremony, the newlyweds headed to Hvammsvik Estate for an intimate reception. This place, about an hour northwest of Reykjavik, is ideal for an Iceland wedding. It’s got several houses on the property, giving it a secluded, private vibe. Plus, there are natural hot springs to soak in, which is just the thing after a day full of excitement.

The reception was as low-key as it gets. Just a simple table set up at the estate, with candles and maybe a few flowers. It was the perfect setting for a quiet dinner for two. They enjoyed a mix of local Icelandic flavors and a few of their favorite dishes. It was intimate, laid-back, and all about celebrating their love.

Exploring Iceland After the Wedding

The best part about an Iceland wedding? The adventure doesn’t have to end with the reception. The newlyweds made the most of their time by exploring the Golden Circle, a must-see route that takes you past some of Iceland’s most iconic sights. They got to check out waterfalls, geysers, and even glaciers. It’s a great way to turn a wedding into a full-blown adventure.

To keep the good times rolling, they visited the Sky Lagoon and the world-famous Blue Lagoon for a relaxing soak in the hot springs. It’s the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Iceland. Plus, it’s a pretty fun way to end a wedding trip.

about the artist

I'm Kayla

A red dirt girl from Oklahoma turned mountain woman with a camera in tow. I have a finesse for fine art in the West and over the years have built a legendary business that encompasses wild landscapes and romance among the mountains.

This was all born from a love of old westerns and my dad’s dream of moving out West. Which I did, 17 years ago, as I settled under the Big Horn Mountains in Northern Wyoming. From there I’ve adventured all across the west, hiking miles of trails among our vast public lands and living out my John Wayne era. 

My love of photography has grown from digital to film and videography. These are the mediums of my art and there is beauty within each. While photography is a still moment, an emotion held… videography is the voice, the sound of that emotion, from the tears in a voice to the elk bugling in the background. This audible energy of your day will bring you right back.
