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.

We absolutely love this moment, Winter Wedding Wonderland outside of Búðir Black Church

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.

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!"
it's that time again! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Join us for Reykjavík Pride 2025, we have some extra colorful tours happening this year and we'd love to see you! Links to book are on our bio and on our website 💕 #reykjavikpride #icelandpride #lgbtq #pinkiceland #gaytours #gayiceland @reykjavikpride

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!
