Iceland Elopement & Wedding Photographer
Laid Back, Cinematic,
& Emotive Photographs
As your Iceland elopement & wedding photographer, the goal isn’t to create a trendy narrative or portray you in a way that misrepresents you. Rather - take the time to understand what you’re looking for, what you want from your wedding day, understand your journey, and provide you with an experience unique to you.

Welcome Friends,
Iceland Elopement
Here's How We'll Plan Your
I'm Austin Francis Sylvest, a Destination elopement & wedding photographer and videographer specializing weddings in Iceland, New Zealand, and Colorado, USA that are Photographed on film, and recorded with the highest of intentions.
My Promise To You
Just Know This:
My goal isn’t to create a trendy narrative or portray couples in a way that misrepresents them. Rather - take the time to understand what you’re looking for, what you want from your wedding day, understand your journey, and provide you with an experience unique to you.
Rather, it's to preserve a unique viewpoint of your life that you might otherwise overlook and share this in a way that best captures and inspires you– for this life & generations to come.
I can assure you there won’t be any performance to your wedding photographs, just your day as it unfolds. Together, we'll capture and celebrate moments created from your own perspective–your unique life experience.
From Your First Contact - To The Last Roll Of Film
I'm here to help & support - You don’t need all the answers - just a dream of what you want - and I'll do my best to get you there. I'm always a phone call or text away for anything you might need.
For elopements- From your ceremony experience to what you'll do on your wedding day - I'll help you plan it out. I’ve shot 75+ elopements & weddings, and I’ll make sure there aren’t any surprises throughout the whole experience.
For traditional weddings - Just live out your wedding day & I'll be there to capture every moment - forget any mention of a performance. Just be yourselves & together we'll create an incredible work of art that you can relive forever.

But The Truth Is, They Become The Triumphs Of Our Journeys
We overlook these insignificant moments every day. But the truth is, they become the triumphs of our journeys, substantial moments overshadowed in the business of life. It’s not until we cut through the noise do we expose the work of art that’s been there all along.
Your story is already there, and I want to help you bring it to light.

Adventure Is Awesome, But Your Story Is Better
.01
The depth of your story goes deep beneath the surface of what we can see. Let's not focus on just this one adventure. Rather, that despite all odds, you found each other & the journey that brought you here today.
You Don't Have To Leave Everything & Everyone Behind

Elopements and intimate weddings aren't about compromise, they're about intention. Do what feels authentic to you, and don't leave behind who and what is crucial to your story.
Your Story Deserves To Be Told In Full, Without Pause

Our differences and personal life experience is what makes us unique. That very experience shapes your story into a one that no one else on earth has lived, and that deserves to be celebrated.
