The Helicopter Elopement Guide You'll Wish you Found Sooner
There are a few experiences in this life that leave us speechless
Experiences that fill us with awe, stir every emotion in our bodies, feel unreal and almost too good to be true, transform us and most importantly, stay with us forever.
To us, helicopter rides are exactly that. A soul-deep experience! The only other experience we’d describe as similar is standing beneath the Northern Lights as they explode above your head, dancing wildly, shapeshifting through endless colours. It can hardly be described with words.
This is an experience that needs to be lived.
We know how important the act of eloping is. Our passion for designing unique, meaningful experiences and our background in aviation has led us to specialize in crafting truly one-of-a-kind helicopter elopement packages.
A space for the two of you to say I do in remote locations accessible only by helicopter. An adventure that stays with you long after the day has passed. We make sure to capture it all, so the emotions can be remembered and felt. Even though an experience like this never truly fades from your memory.
Your Helicopter Elopement in Iceland begins with sharing a deeply transformative experience.
One that won’t fade with time, but turns into a story you’ll still be telling 20 years from now.
Choosing who you trust with your elopement is about more than photography. It’s about feeling seen, safe and deeply understood. Your elopement day deserves intention, care and people who truly live the experience they offer. Here are a few reasons why couples choose to work with us:
We're a strong creative duo, in life and in work
Choosing us means working with a well-travelled photographer with over 10 years of experience and a partnership that harmonizes naturally, both privately and professionally. That balance shows in how we plan, guide and create.

We don’t “research” Iceland, we live it. We explore locations for fun, on quiet weekends and with our kids. This land is part of who we are and you benefit from our deep, lived-in knowledge, insider access and stories you won’t find online.
