Super 8 Film & Digital | Skálakot & Írafoss Wedding Video
Chris and Clayton's Icelandic Elopement Through Digital and Analoque Super 8mm Film
Chris and Clayton’s summer elopement in Iceland was a beautiful blend of adventure, nature, and timeless aesthetics. They began their day at the stunning Skálakot Luxury Hotel, nestled on the south shore of Iceland, preparing for an intimate and unforgettable wedding day.
Their ceremony took place at the hidden Írafoss Waterfall, a secluded and breathtaking spot surrounded by Iceland’s untouched landscapes. Clayton saw Chris for the first time in her wedding dress as she walked down the aisle, with the sound of cascading water in the background. After exchanging vows and rings, they celebrated with a small picnic alongside their friends and family. A fun detail—Írafoss is known for its pure, fresh water, so much so that some guests drank straight from the falls instead of bottled water!
After the ceremony, we ventured out for wedding portraits and cinematic footage, capturing the magic of Iceland’s diverse landscapes. Chris and Clayton explored iconic locations such as:
Kvernufoss Waterfall – a hidden gem tucked away in a mossy canyon
Skógafoss Waterfall – one of Iceland’s most famous and powerful waterfalls
Lupine Fields & Lava Fields – vibrant summer colors mixed with volcanic landscapes
Dyrhólaey Cliffs – overlooking the endless Atlantic Ocean and the striking Black Sand Beach at Reynisfjara
This wedding film is truly one of a kind because I captured it using a combination of digital and vintage Super-8mm Kodak film. I shot with Kodak 50D and Kodak 500T film stock, giving this elopement video a nostalgic, cinematic feel that perfectly complements the rugged beauty of Iceland. The warm, grainy textures of Super-8 film add a timeless element to the modern digital footage, blending the past and present in a unique way.
As an Iceland wedding videographer, it was an honor to document Chris and Clayton’s special day in such an artistic and meaningful way. Whether you're considering a destination elopement in Iceland or are drawn to the charm of Super-8 film wedding videography, this video showcases the magic of both worlds.
Watch the full wedding film and experience the raw beauty of Iceland, Super-8 film, and a love story captured in its purest form.
