Wedding video of Jordan & Joey’s Defender Iceland Elopement in Snaefellsnes
Some weddings are grand, others intimate—but Jordan & Joey’s elopement in Iceland was all about adventure, raw beauty, and meaningful moments. With their closest family and friends by their side, they embarked on a journey through the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, a land of volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches, and dramatic coastlines.
Getting Ready on the North Coast
Their day began in remote coastal cabins on the north shore of the peninsula, where the sound of crashing waves and Iceland’s ever-changing weather set the mood. As they prepared for their ceremony, the anticipation built—this was not just any wedding, but a day crafted entirely around their love for nature and exploration.
A Meaningful Ceremony at Búðir’s Black Church
Driving their Range Rover Defender through rugged terrain, Jordan & Joey made their way to the historic Búðir Black Church, one of Iceland’s most iconic wedding locations. Their ceremony was deeply rooted in old Icelandic traditions, making the exchange of vows even more special. With the stunning backdrop of lava fields and distant mountains, it was a moment that felt both timeless and completely unique to them.
Exploring Snaefellsnes for Wedding Portraits
After the ceremony, we set off to capture their love story in some of the most breathtaking landscapes Iceland has to offer:
Lava Fields of Búðir – The rugged black earth surrounding the Black Church created a dramatic and moody setting.
Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach – A powerful and untouched volcanic coastline where the Atlantic Ocean meets Iceland’s wild landscape.
Hellnar Rock Formations – Towering sea cliffs shaped by time and nature, offering a striking contrast against the sky.
Kirkjufell Mountain – One of Iceland’s most famous landmarks, made even more legendary by its appearance in Game of Thrones.
Each location added a new dimension to their story, blending Iceland’s untamed beauty with their sense of adventure.
A Cozy Reception with a View
After a day of exploration, Jordan & Joey gathered with their family for an intimate reception at Bjargarsteinn Mathús, a charming restaurant known for its incredible seafood and breathtaking views of Kirkjufell Mountain. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and filled with love—a perfect way to end an unforgettable day.
