We technically weren’t even engaged, but decided together that we were ready to get married. We had been together for seven years and both have large extended families.

This pair had a wedding in Iceland followed by a honeymoon which would explore the entire island.

Hand-in-hand venturing through moss-covered lava fields followed lunch. The photographer harnessed in and repelled off a cliff at the next stop to get an epic shot of the couple with a secret waterfall. They explored a colorful lighthouse, bird watched among golden cliffs, and ended the day at a hidden geothermal area.
