Social media? Oh right — I’ve been too busy holding meetings at the office (see image).

It's been a while since the Estonian wedding was on the blog. Will fix that.

Garden ceremony surrounded by coastal pines, a golden-hour portrait session on the links, and a candlelit dinner at Eagle Restaurant — this Estonian wedding had it all.

I’ve been close to so many waterfalls in Iceland, but standing by the 60-meter-tall and 25-meter-wide Skógafoss is probably one of the most powerful feelings. It’s very accessible (just watch out for the occasional angry ranger who doesn’t want you to get soaked), and yes, it’s a very touristy spot – but still an absolute must-see and must-feel place.

Two of my recent Iceland images just placed in the global MyWed Wedding Awards, and it feels less like “winning” and more like two small stories finding their people.

Expressive void – black sand story
There is a stretch of black sand in Iceland that has quietly become one of the favorite places ever I've ever visited. From there, a drone photograph of a tiny couple walking along that endless dark shoreline somehow resonated enough with the judges to earn 2nd place in the Expressive Void category this year.

That frame was always about scale, solitude, and how small two humans in love can look against the Atlantic – and how powerful that still feels. I simply can not get enough of it.

Timeless – an almost-mistake
The second image, taken in the north of Iceland, is technically “wrong”: the couple is out of focus, the wind is wild, and everything in the frame is more feeling than detail. With how clever modern autofocus has become, missing focus almost takes effort – yet this imperfect frame received 10th place in the Timeless category, which is both ironic and a little beautiful.

It is a reminder that sometimes the photographs that matter most are the ones that lean into emotion instead of perfection.

A note of gratitude

MyWed brings together tens of thousands of wedding photographers from around the world, so seeing these two quiet Iceland moments recognized there means a lot. More from here https://zurl.co/acxQy

Huge thanks to the couples who trust this vision, to the judges who saw something in these frames, and to everyone who keeps cheering from the sidelines.

Here’s to more imperfect, honest stories in wild places.

Some couples plan weddings around seating charts. Others plan them around monster trucks and 1,000-year-old ice 10,000 miles away from hone.

Jenny & David's two-day Iceland elopement: Sunset vows at Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, unexpected northern lights, and a spontaneous ice cave expedition we didn't see coming.

This is what happens when you let Iceland be Iceland.
