As The Waves Crashed, The Weather Cleared For A Moment – Making Way For This Beautiful Black Sand Beach Iceland Wedding. Amongst The Giants And Basalt Pillars That Had Faced The Test Of Time – Kelly And Matt Would Now Make Their Mark.
Iceland Destination Wedding
A Moody Iceland Wedding At The Black Beach
The mighty Black Sand Beach Reynisfjara sits just over two hours East of Reykjavík – positioning itself just below the volcanic giant Katla. Over time, Katla has shaped the land, ultimately leaving us with a beautiful reminder of it’s power. However, under the shadow of it’s beauty – Kelly and Matt’s Black Sand Beach Iceland Wedding was made possible – and a beautiful feat. As the sun never truly made an appearance, the mood of the day was quite clear – celebratory. As they embraced the late season conditions, Iceland still delivered with it’s beauty and unpredictable weather.
In addition to their wedding day, we took some time the day prior to capture some photographs at the base of Dyrhólaey. The base of this stunning promontory is grassy and hilly – featuring a cave overlook of the beaches in the distance. While an extremely windy day, these two braved the elements to capture themselves in true Icelandic conditions.
Nine of the photographs below are digital. The remainder were photographed on 35mm and 120 film.
