Why not get married in Iceland?
As we know Iceland is quite unique with its vast raw landscape, geothermal and volcanic activity, glaciers and lagoons and big endless lava fields. Because of its uniqueness and spectacular landscape Iceland is getting more and more popular among visitors from abroad. Ofcourse people visit with different purpose in mind and travel around the island with different style. People even come here to get married and last week I had the honour to join, guide and photograph a beautiful couple who came to Iceland on a cruise with the purpose to get married in the National Park at Þingvellir. As you
The Different Displays of Skógafoss and its Legend
What appearance of Skógafoss do you prefer? The rainbow summerglow, the frozen beauty or maybe the artistic look of it or maybe you love it in black and white? Skógafoss is the kind of waterfall that is really picturesque and it's easy and so much fun to play with the camera around it. The light is very different between seasons, even between weeks or days. You can always get a different look. As some of you might know Skógafoss is located on the south coast of Iceland and is one of Iceland's biggest waterfall with a width of 25 metres and a drop of 60 m. Due to the amount of spray th
Hellnar - Tiny Little Beach and a Café
Because I love Snæfellsnes peninsula in west Iceland I'm gonna dwell there a little bit longer (see my last blog about Búðir). Do you have a special place you can totally forget about time? For me Hellnar on the westernmost part of Snæfellsnes is a place like that.

The tiny rocky beach with perfectly shaped stones, the peculiar cave, the sound of the ocean and how nature has formed everything so perfectly and beautifully makes this spo
Northern lights info & shooting spots near Reykjavík
Most people visiting Iceland are interested in the Northern lights and I totally understand that. It's really overwhelming to experience this wonder and breathtaking when they are visible dancing above, sometimes vibrant and multicolored. Even though I´ve experienced the auroras my whole life they always fascinates me and I never get bored looking up in the sky admiring them. Its better to view them where light pollution is little and best where there is none. Sometimes Northern lights are visible in the city though but I want to give you some tips where you could view them more effect
the rough and raw Reykjanes - part II
Explore the raw beauty of Reykjanes peninsula I hope you liked my last blog about Reykjanes peninsula part I. In this article I'm going to finish my route around this interesting area. We will start the journey at Krísuvíkurbjarg cliff. Krísuvíkurbjarg When driving a road called “Suðurstrandarvegur” i.e. road no 427 you should definitely make a turn in the direction to the ocean where the sign points to “Krísuvíkurbjarg”. I have to admit the road is not the very best and sometimes in winter it's impossible to drive it due to a lot of snow and mud except if you are driving a good 4x4
