An Elopement Across 2 Continents In Iceland
Ashley is American, Kevin is from Scotland, and they met in Iceland 4 years ago on a Northern Lights tour. Since then, they have been paired together. The North American and Europe tectonic plates meet in Iceland, and, they met in Iceland being from each location so it was only fitting they got married in Iceland, too. Kevin got his kilt made from his family Tartan custom for the wedding. Ashley got a ‘just eloped’ custom pained faux leather jacket. They even got some cute details such as coffee mugs and ring box. For once I think the groom’s accessories beat the brides! They got married in the botanic gardens in Reykjavik before we took off to explore the Icelandic nature that they fell in love in. At one point I got completely soaked from some waves as a MASSIVE storm was rolling in (as you can see by the insane clouds towards the end). The wind also kept lifting his kilt, and well, the rumors are true. These two are just madly in love with each other which you can tell by the photos and their day.

An Elopement in Dingle, Ireland
I remember visiting Dingle as a small child on a holiday in Ireland with my family. I remember it vividly because we went out on the water to see Fungie the infamous Dingle Dolphin. So I was really curious what was in store when the wonderful Louise Scott Photography told me she wanted to submit an elopement in Dingle on the blog. Dingle certainly isn’t one of those Insta -famous locations in Ireland that you see cropping up in your feed on a regular basis. But oh.my.word. This elopement is going to give you goosebumps!

Aran Islands Elopement In Ireland
The Aran Islands are three remote, tiny islands off the coast of Galway in the west of Ireland, only reachable by a rather choppy boat ride. Laura and Matt travelled all the way from Arizona in USA for their Aran Islands elopement along with 15 of their closest friends and family. They wanted their ceremony to be the main focus of their day, and it truly was incredibly unique, with an incredibly special Celtic ceremony with different sections in an old ruined church to have mini blessings, like touching a stone, putting some fabric on a tree, and dipping their hands in water for blessings – it was something incredibly special to witness. After the ceremony, they celebrated in the traditional Irish way – Irish pubs serving the best Guinness!

Iceland Elopement Escaping A Blizzard
Vanna & Kevin’s elopement day didn’t go exactly as planned. Their elopement photographer and local expert Steph had helped them to plan an itinerary travelling east along the south coast of Iceland. However, on the morning of their elopement, the weather forecast changed dramatically. A blizzard coming from the east was on the way, which meant road closures were almost certain. Quickly they came up with a plan B for the day, and instead drove west towards Reykjavik. But like something from a Hollywood blockbuster movie, the storm was close on their tails as they drove to a potential new ceremony location. But Steph knew they wouldn’t make it, so they pulled over their cars and literally had their elopement ceremony at the side of the road. Although in Iceland, even the roadsides are stunning
