Let's hear it from Kristina Petra

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.

Oh hey Sara <3 Adventure wedding planning queen! Congratulations on this wonderful review from a happy couple ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If you want to get married in Iceland choose Pink Iceland to plan your wedding! We worked with the wonderful Sara and could not be happier with our day! She planned our welcome dinner, full wedding day with 25 guests and our Sky Lagoon trip the day after. We didn't meet Sara until the morning of our wedding but after a few minutes it felt like we had known her for years. We had a bad weather forecast for our day and were in contact with Sara for most of the day prior to make "Plan B" arrangements. She understood how important it was for us to get married at our chosen location and was helpful in problem solving and offering her advice. On the day, the rain held out until after our ceremony but our photo tour was quite wet. Sara was always right there waiting with a big puffy warm jacket and towel for me to warm up and dry off. She was always checking in to make sure we were warm enough and offering kind words of encouragement throughout the day. She never complained even though she was probably pretty wet and cold as well. We had never been to either restaurant that we chose for our welcome dinner and reception but took Sara's recommendations and they were fabulous! She also recommended our amazing photographer (Kristin Maria) and videographer (Arnar Tomasson) who were simply wonderful. Our advice to couples would be to be patient and trust the process. It is not easy to trust a complete stranger to plan such a big day and being in another country not able to be hands on with the planning was even harder. Sara had thought of every detail and we had the most amazing day because of it. In addition, our guests had a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Sara and the entire Pink Iceland team!"

We love creating unique memories in the days before and after the wedding day! These are from a welcome day where guests got to explore the Golden Circle, have a tomato farm lunch, and get to know each other before the big day! Thank you to A&A who trusted us to plan a 3 day wedding adventure for them and their guests!
