Hi there! I'm Ívar, your Icelandic adventure elopement photographer. My passion is to empower and inspire couples like you, helping craft a wedding day that authentically reflects your unique love story. I believe that your celebration should resonate with your essence, and I'm here as your trusted local guide on this incredible journey.
My goal is to assist you in creating an extraordinary elopement against the backdrop of breathtaking scenic locations. Together, we'll capture the moments that make your love story exceptional, forging memories that will last a lifetime.
We'll embark on a remarkable journey, exploring new places, sharing laughter, and crafting a day that truly is the best of your lives. My mission is to ensure that your love shines through every frame, beautifully telling your unique story in every photograph.
I am originally from the serene eastern part of Iceland where I grew up on a farm called Birkihlíð. I now call Reykjavík my home, where I live with my wonderful girlfriend and our one-year-old son.
I understand the excitement of seeing your wedding photos. I will send a few sneak peaks the 1-2 days after your wedding. However, it takes around 2-3 weeks for me to complete the editing process and deliver your final gallery. Quality is my priority, and I'll ensure the wait is worth it.
The quantity of photos provided depends significantly on your event's schedule and activities. While I don't have a set minimum or maximum, a typical range is approximately 30-50 images per hour of coverage. For instance, an 8-10 hour wedding could yield around 240-500 images.
Yes, I do require a deposit of 50% to secure your date. This deposit is due at the time of booking and is non-refundable. It ensures that your chosen date is reserved exclusively for you.
Booking with me is straightforward:
- After receiving your inquiry, we'll schedule a video call to discuss your vision, preferences, and any specific requirements.
- Following our conversation, I'll create a proposal outlining package options, pricing details, and additional services.
- If you're satisfied with the proposal, I'll send you a booking agreement that outlines all terms and conditions.
Absolutely! I have extensive knowledge of Iceland's diverse and picturesque locations. Depending on your preferences, I can recommend spots that align perfectly with your vision, whether it's rugged landscapes, serene beaches, or iconic landmarks.
The unpredictable weather is part of Iceland's charm. I'm experienced in making the most of changing conditions to ensure that your photos are captivating, regardless of the circumstances.
While I'm dedicated to capturing your special day in the best way possible, I usually don't provide both photography and videography simultaneously. Effectively covering both roles can be challenging, and I wouldn't want to miss any precious moments.
However, I do have a special touch—I love incorporating a few video clips into our sessions to add an extra dimension to your memories. These clips can complement your photography and provide a dynamic glimpse of your wedding day. If you're interested in this unique blend of photography and videography, let's discuss it during our initial consultation to tailor your experience to your preferences.
To ensure you receive the highest quality of both photography and videography, it's advisable to have separate professionals for each role. I'd be more than happy to recommend a wedding videographer who specialises in complementing your photography needs. This way, you'll have a dedicated team preserving every unforgettable moment of your day.
I understand that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera. My laid-back and relaxed approach helps couples feel at ease, resulting in natural and beautiful photographs.
