Iceland Wedding Photographers Styrmir & Heiðdís

We are Styrmir Kári & Heiðdís, a husband and wife team that have, somehow over the years, become experts at creating art out of the memories of lovers traveling to Iceland.

We shoot destination weddings, elopements and couple shoots in the breathtaking Icelandic landscapes. Coming from both a photojournalist and an editorial background we merge together our search for the truth with a beautiful aesthetic, creating honest yet poetic images for our couples.

Our style of shooting is unobtrusive and relaxed. We show up to each wedding with a clean slate and try not to have any preconceived ideas on how we want the day to go but rather shoot the scenes unfolding in front of our eyes. Resulting in natural and honest images, unique to each couple. It’s also as much about the experience as it is about the images so being friendly and eagerly saying yes to crazy ideas is important to us.

Our biggest inspiration when it comes to our photography is Iceland itself, with it’s beautiful, raw landscapes and the ever changing weather constantly changing how the light falls on a scene, creating endless possibilities for play.

When asked what our favourite locations in Iceland are, our go to answer is always the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. It’s like a miniature version of the rest of the island with incredibly diverse landscapes in a relatively small area. There is also something about the mood up there that really resonates with us. And having spent so much time there many of the locals have become friends.

But this isn’t all about epic landscapes and bravely facing the elements. There is a deeper meaning and purpose with our work and it’s the reason we keep doing it. We are constantly meeting inspiring people from every corner of the earth on one of the happiest days of their lives and we make something tangible out of their memories. At first they are just beautiful images that take you back to this day, but as time passes their value increases exponentially.

Ever since we worked with Pink Iceland for the first time in 2015 we have looked at them as our partners and friends through what now has become a career for us. Supporting and learning from each other along the way, one adventure filled love story at a time.

Through them we have learned some vital skills for the wedding industry, for example how to use glacier crampons and ice axes, how to persuade ageing grandmothers to climb steep cliffs, how to open a bottle of Prosecco in below freezing temperatures and how to keep donuts from getting soggy when sitting outside in torrential rain storms. All necessary information that comes in handy during a wedding day in Iceland.

In return we have shown them countless sketchy roads to far flung locations with breathtaking views, taught them how to make a herd of horses do your bidding and made them appreciate the amazing photogenic qualities of bad weather.

Time and time again we have found out the importance of having a good team of people around you during your adventurous wedding. When the zipper on your dress decides it’s time to retire an hour before your wedding ceremony it’s good to know that you have a diverse team consisting of a make up artist, wedding planner, photographer and a videographer that are willing to drop everything and fix it for you. It also comes in handy when you need to corral a group of ten strong Colombians to help push a truck up a snowy hill or herd a bus load of tourists out of frame for the perfect shot at the black sand beach.

We are getting closer to Reykjavík Pride, and that means you can book your Pink Iceland Pride tours! Join us for the Pink Iceland Pride Package, a joyful two-day experience during Reykjavík Pride 2025 that blends queer history, stunning nature, and community. Thursday, August 7th kicks off at 13:00 with the Queer City Walk, a guided stroll through downtown Reykjavík from a queer perspective. Starting at the Pink Iceland office, we'll uncover the stories of LGBTQIA+ life in the city, past and present. Learn about the early days of queer activism in Iceland, discover historic venues, and hear the tales of those who helped shape Reykjavík into the vibrant, inclusive city it is today. Friday, August 8th begins at 10:00 with the Golden Circle – Pride Edition, a fabulous day out exploring Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. Together with fellow LGBTQIA+ travelers and a charismatic guide, we’ll visit Þingvellir National Park, the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, and the erupting geothermal area of Geysir. Expect gorgeous scenery, a tasty lunch stop, and maybe even a surprise or two along the way. Email us to secure your spot today!
The Southeast has so many gems, making the slightly longer journey up there so worth it! Why not drive a little longer, trek a little further and reach a little higher for the wedding photos of a lifetime!

Incredible day in the South East of Iceland 🤍 #icelandwedding #pinkiceland #destinationwedding #weddingplanner #elopement #icelandelopement
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
