I am Kristina Petra, an artist and photographer based in Stockholm. I was born in Lithuania, but lived and worked in Iceland for about 13 years.

It was never my intention to work in wedding business, but once I photographed my first wedding for Pink Iceland in 2016 I must admit I got addicted and they’ve been my favorite company to work with since. They are true professionals, highly driven and just really kind and warm people. Every time I see a new e-mail from Pink Iceland in my mail box I know that I’ll be heading to great adventure.

True Iceland Wedding Adventure

During my wedding photographer’s career I’ve traveled to the most beautiful locations, experienced quite a few adventures, but the most important and fun part at my work is meeting new people. It’s an honor and privilege to participate in one of the most important days in couple’s life. They’ll show the photographs I took to their families, children, and at some point maybe even grandchildren.

Years will pass and memories of the wedding day will be always alive through the photographs. This thought always warms my heart and makes me little bit sentimental. I guess these reflections on time and memory in a way shaped my photography style. If I had to choose one word to describe it, most likely I would say “timeless”.

My favorite wedding season is autumn and autumn in Iceland is magical. The light and colors are mesmerising. Of course the weather sometimes is unpredictable, but for photography actually it’s quite a positive thing. Fog, wind and rain can make photos look much more dramatic and emotionally charged. To be honest I quite often hope for weather to get little bit gloomy during photoshoots, so Icelandic landscape would reveal its beauty and rawness. Of course there is a small chance of really stormy weather but even then the most beautiful adventures happen.

The weather plays a big part in Iceland Wedding photos, Kristina enjoys the fast shift in the weather and the drama.

Once just minutes before ceremony the weather got really bad. Wind and rain took over, but Pink Iceland’s team was extremely creative and we moved the whole event to nearest stables. The ceremony was absolutely stunning. Horses were roaming around, participating in the whole thing. I’ve never heard so much laughter and sobbing at once.

Can you imagine cuter guests at your Iceland Wedding?

After ceremony the skies got clear and we kept on traveling to planned locations.

I am always amazed how close to nature Reykjavik is. In 20 min. ride you can reach the most beautiful places like Kleifarvatn, Hvalfjörður and Reykjanes. If to look further my heart always goes to Snæfellsnes and of course West Fjords.

Well hello Valdi - Pink Iceland Wedding planner extraordinaire - congrats on the amazing review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Planning a wedding from North Carolina to Iceland was no small feat—especially without seeing anything in person. But from the moment we began working with Valdi at Pink Iceland, we felt a sense of calm, trust, and joy that carried us all the way to the big day. Valdi was incredibly professional and thoughtful, going out of his way to overcommunicate every detail so that we always felt informed and reassured, no matter how far away we were. My friends and family were skeptical—after all, how could you possibly plan a wedding halfway across the world without ever stepping foot in the country? But I had complete faith in Valdi, and I’m so glad I did. He and the entire Pink Iceland team made us feel genuinely seen, celebrated, and supported. Their love for love is palpable, and it was clear from the beginning that this wasn’t just another wedding to them—it was our wedding. '...' Valdi brought a sense of peace to what is often an overwhelming and emotional process. He put our needs above everything else, giving us space to be present, soak in the moment, and truly honor the meaning behind our day. It felt like we were surrounded by old friends, not just planners. It was, without question, our home away from home. Every vendor Valdi recommended overperformed beyond our wildest expectations. The quality, care, and professionalism of everyone involved left us completely blown away. We have to give a special shoutout to his photographer recommendation, Sunday and White—his work is nothing short of breathtaking. He captured our day in a way we didn’t even know was possible. Our photos are so beautiful, they honestly look like they belong in a magazine—and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We would recommend and trust Pink Iceland with all of our being. Valdi helped us create something so much more than a wedding—he helped us create a memory that feels like magic. I can say with full certainty that there isn’t a single thing I would change. Valdi and Pink Iceland dreamed bigger than I ever could have imagined. #pinkiceland #icelandwedding

Well hello Glóey - Pink Iceland Wedding planner extraordinaire - congrats on the amazing review! Dream Wedding Thanks to Glóey and Pink Iceland! Planning a wedding in Iceland from afar, especially with only five months, felt daunting at first. But from our very first conversation, Glóey assured us it was not only possible but that it would be wonderful. And they were absolutely right! My partner and I had no idea where to even begin, but Glóey made everything so incredibly easy. They listened to our vague ideas and magically transformed them into an absolute dream wedding. As someone who tends to be a bit Type A, I initially found it hard to let go of control when coordinating a wedding remotely. However, it was such a relief and joy to do so for our wedding, and Glóey made that possible. Their responsiveness, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to perfectly nail our vision quickly put all my worries at ease. They didn't just help us craft our vision and provide expert suggestions; they executed every idea flawlessly, surpassing any and all expectations we had for the day. Our ceremony site (Írárfoss) and our reception were STUNNING – and we really just provided our general vibe/preferences/and some inspo images to Glóey and they put that vision together. They did a fantastic job with all the details, while they also fostered an atmosphere that reminded us the day was about being in the moment. Beyond their excellent work, Glóey is simply a joy to be around. We had so much fun driving around Iceland taking photos with our fantastic photographer (Sunday & White, Laimonas) and Glóey before the ceremony. We genuinely wished we could have spent even more time together! I was initially unsure about taking photos before the ceremony, as we adjusted the schedule during planning, but Glóey suggested it, and I'm so incredibly glad we took their advice. That time before the ceremony was actually perfect for taking photos, laughing, and loosening up a bit. We cannot recommend Glóey and the entire Pink Iceland team highly enough. Thanks to them, we had an absolute dream wedding! 📸 @julietterowlandweddings & @sundayandwhitestudio
