Iceland Elopement Videography

As an Iceland videographer, I create adventurous films for couples and brands exploring some of Iceland's most inspiring landscapes, capturing the experience naturally as it unfolds.

With a documentary approach to filmmaking, your Iceland elopement videography is focused on the real atmosphere of the day, the landscape around you, and the moments that genuinely mattered as everything unfolded.

Availability for Iceland elopement videography is limited to allow time for a smaller number of carefully documented elopements across Iceland.

Iceland's dramatic landscapes and sense of freedom make it one of the most unforgettable places in the world to elope, whether you are planning something adventurous, intimate, or completely your own.

Your Iceland elopement is captured naturally and unobtrusively, creating a film that reflects not only how everything looked, but how the experience genuinely felt to be there.

Recent Iceland Films

Elopement and tourism films made across Iceland. Documentary coverage of genuine moments, changing weather, and the landscape as it actually was on the day.

South Coast, Iceland
elopements

Olivia + Ben

Olivia and Ben are fantasy lovers in the truest sense - they arrived in Iceland with capes, a vision, and a genuine appetite for doing things their own way. The south coast was in full bloom, lupines covering the fields beyond Skógafoss in every direction. It was one of those days where the landscape keeps giving you something new every time you turn around.

Háifoss, Iceland
elopements

Esther + Richard

Esther and Richard exchanged rings at the bottom of Háifoss. The waterfall drops 122 metres and when you're standing beneath it the sound is physical - you feel it in your chest before you process it with your ears. They were completely alone down there, midnight sun overhead, water crashing around them.

Snæfellsnes, Iceland
elopements

Vanessa + Brandon

Vanessa and Brandon flew in from America for something they couldn't have done anywhere else. A traditional Viking ceremony by a lake deep in the Icelandic countryside - handwritten vows, a drinking horn, blessings from a celebrant who understood exactly what the day was for. Then a full day road-tripping the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a part of Iceland most visitors never reach, finishing in a natural hot spring as the temperature dropped and the sky went dark.

Akranes, Iceland
elopements

Hannah + Andres

Hannah and Andres met in Iceland, built their life there, and eventually got married in Akranes surrounded by those who mattered the most. After the ceremony they walked out to the lighthouse on the coast, then spent the last of the light at a hidden waterfall most people who live in Iceland have never found.

Iceland
tourism

Global Adventures

Global Adventures bring international runners to Iceland for a tour that moves through some of the country's most physically demanding landscape. This film follows the experience across the south coast and into the highlands - focused on the real atmosphere of what it takes to run here, the conditions, the scale of the environment, and what keeps people coming back.

Golden Circle, Iceland
elopements

Mallorie + Tanar

Mallorie and Tanar came from Michigan to mark ten years together the way they'd always wanted to but never had. Full Viking looks - huge fur coats, a plaited braid, Tanar's beard decorated with beads. They drove the south coast and reached Reynisfjara as the wind picked up off the Atlantic. Their vows were said inside a cave overlooking the black sand, voices breaking, the ocean loud outside.

// The Filmmaker Behind Iceland Videographer

Capturing Iceland Honestly & Unobtrusively

In 2015, I embarked on a New Year's Eve adventure to Iceland, and from the moment I arrived, I was completely smitten. As an avid traveller, I have explored many beautiful destinations worldwide, including Canada, Japan, Thailand, Morocco, GCC and UAE and countless European countries. However, Iceland has a special place in my heart. Its unique landscapes, natural wonders, and thundering waterfalls are unparalleled, offering endless possibilities for incredible adventures.

Hi, I'm Leanne. For over a decade I've been a videographer, filming elopements, documentary work, commercial and tourism content, live events, interviews, venue films and YouTube content. Filmmaking has taken me into a lot of different environments and the variety of that work is what keeps me sharp.

In Iceland specifically, I've filmed many elopements across the country, short documentary pieces, interviews and tourism work, every day has been different and I enjoy the challenges they bring. Every film has been unique. The light changes. The weather changes. No two films look the same, and that's the point.

I've been lucky to work with couples and clients from all over the world who share a genuine appetite for doing things their own way, and that's exactly the kind of work I'm here for.

When I’m not exploring Iceland’s beautiful landscapes, you can find me cruising through Europe in my beloved Fiat Ducato camper van. I absolutely adore life on the open road - it’s my way of ensuring that I never stray too far from my other passion in life: creating new experiences through travel.

// Common Questions & Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers on weather, audio, drone rules, travel, and booking — for elopement days and tourism shoots alike.

What happens if the weather is bad on our elopement day?
Iceland's weather changes quickly and that's something we work with rather than against. I adapt to all conditions. If you're happy filming in rain, wind, or snow then so am I. Some of the best footage I've captured has been in mist, rain, and dramatic cloud. We stay flexible and make the most of whatever the day brings.
Will our vows be drowned out by wind or waterfalls?
I use professional lavalier microphones with wind protection that handle Iceland's conditions well. Whether you're beside a waterfall or on an exposed coastline, your vows will be captured clearly.
Do you work alongside our photographer or planner?
Yes. I'm happy to coordinate with your chosen photographer, elopement planner, or celebrant to make sure the day runs smoothly. Just put us in touch and we'll handle the rest between us.
Are there hidden travel costs?
No. Travel across Iceland is included in the package price. South Coast, Snæfellsnes, Golden Circle, Reykjanes. No surprise fuel costs or accommodation invoices after you book.
We feel awkward in front of cameras. Is that a problem?
Most couples say this before we film together. My approach is documentary. I follow rather than direct. No posing, no 'look at the camera.' You focus on each other and the day, and I document what actually happens.
How far in advance should we book?
For peak summer and autumn dates, 6 to 18 months ahead is recommended. It's always worth getting in touch early to check what's available.
How long until we receive our finished film?
Typically 8 to 12 weeks after your elopement date, sometimes sooner depending on the time of year. Your film is delivered privately online.
Can we speak before the day?
Yes. About a month before your date we schedule a catch-up call to run through the plan, check the forecast, and make sure everything is in place. I'm also available on WhatsApp in the lead-up if anything comes up.
