We were sooo nervous about eloping abroad until we came across Sydney! She had spent a ton of time in Iceland, and delivered tons of incredible location options to us that created unique and stunning pictures. She walked us through travel, stays, rental cars, where to eat, and so much more. She helped us feel prepared and confident for our day and took away all the stress of eloping in a different country! She blocked off the entire week for our multi-day elopement incase of bad weather, and truly created a two day experience that was beyond our wildest dreams. We saw all the hidden gems of Iceland, ate incredible food, and just got to relax and enjoy the experience since Sydney prepared us so well. She got on calls with us, answered all of our questions, and tailored a timeline towards who we are and needed. She really listens, understands, and collaborates in ways to create the most perfect elopement experience. We couldn’t be happier with the experience before, during and after our day! Not to mention our photos came out perfectly… They reflected who we were as a couple, the landscape, and told a story of our incredible day!

"I CRIED looking through my elopement photos, I loved them THAT much! Sydney was fast to respond, a great communicator, and began discussing locations before we even signed the contract! She knows Colorado so well, and understood that our day was about more than just photos. If you want emotional, adventurous, and thoughtful photos, Sydney is the way to go! Sydney took the time to get to know us beforehand. She met up with us when we visited from out of state, and the day of we were confident that she really understood our story. This came out in all the details of her photographs. From the story of my ring, to the kind of treats my dog responded best to, and she paired us perfectly with locations that fit our personalities and abilities. Sydney was INCREDIBLE with our pup! She knew the best poses and prompts, how to keep his attention, and understood his body language and when to give breaks. She also carried an invisible ink paw print pad so our pup could sign our marriage license!"

How many images can I expect to receive?
I recommend booking at least a year to 6 months before your Iceland elopement date! Couples have booked me just a few months out - but keeping to that 6 month to one year rule of thumb ensures you get first choice of dates, vendors, locations, and lodging especially when traveling internationally!

Every wedding is unique, but I typically promise 50-100 images per hour. Rest assured that I will send you all the special moments, and only edit out duplicate images and images that don’t meet my minimum standards.

Typically! Whether or not you hike in your wedding attire totally depends on what you're wearing, how difficult the hike is, and your hiking abilities. You will need comfortable hiking shoes either way. Changing when you reach the viewpoint is an option too! I have a pop-up tent if you prefer more privacy!

Iceland is easiest to get around by car! A lot of our elopement spots will be accessed by car, and I often recommend an AWD vehicle for your elopement! I also will have a car if you need a ride, and we will discuss transport and travel in depth once we've picked a location and date!

Most likely not! It all depends on the location in Iceland you choose, and as your photographer I will handle all permits (the permit process and cost!) so you two can just show up and enjoy your day without worrying about the legalities of it all!

I'm happy to accommodate up to 15 guests and find ways to include them! Keep in mind, the more guests that you add the fewer location options we have.
