“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” — Emily Brontë
In the heart of Iceland’s untamed beauty… where glaciers meet fire and waterfalls whisper ancient secrets, I documented this elopement not just as an event, but as a living, breathing love story.
Love, at its most real isn’t afraid to bend with the wind or dance through the storm. For Cody and Brittany their love became a testament to that kind of love. A love that adapts, endures, and holds fiercely, to what matters most. With rain looming over their original afternoon ceremony plans, at the last minute, we pivoted and moved the ceremony to midnight. Packing our layers and gear we arrived to the base of Múlagljúfur Canyon at 11 p.m. meeting their officiant @perla_iceland. The sky dimmed quickly, the sun setting below the horizon by 11:30, casting the last golden touches over the peaks. In near darkness and bitter cold we began our ascent guided by an unwavering purpose.
We reached the ridge by midnight, which was perfect to allow their vows to still be exchanged on the 21st, a date rich with personal meaning for them. With shadows gracing the canyon and soft light gracing the ridge lines, Cody and Brittany declared their souls to one another surrounded by the wild, raw stillness of Iceland at night.
At 1:30 am, hearts full, vows sealed, we began our descent, forever changed by the wild magic of love that’s brave, intentional, and deeply true.
