Jacque & Harley
Eloped to Iceland from the USA
“We eloped in Iceland and Christin was an absolute Rockstar of a photographer! Our photos came out amazing and we’re so happy every time we go through them. Her photos are crisp, natural, and they print like a dream.
The experience of coordinating an elopement ceremony with Christin was effortless. She was easy to communicate with and was helpful answering all our questions.
The day of our elopement, she made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera which helped make for amazing photos. She’s an awesome hype woman, and was great company during our adventure. If you’re thinking of doing this experience with Christin, our recommendation is, do it!”
Iceland Elopement FAQs
Can foreigners legally get married in Iceland?
Yes. There are no residency requirements, and Iceland is known for having one of the more straightforward legal processes for foreign couples. You’ll need documents like a certificate of marital status and valid passports, submitted a few weeks ahead of your ceremony.
What's the best time of year to elope in Iceland?
It depends on the experience you want. Summer brings the midnight sun and easiest access to the highlands. Winter offers snowy landscapes and a real chance at the Northern Lights. Both are stunning, it’s really about which mood fits your vision.
Do we need a permit to get married on public land in Iceland?
Most outdoor locations don’t require a permit, but a few popular spots and any private land do. I’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed for wherever we end up shooting.
How far in advance should we plan our Iceland elopement?
I’d suggest starting the legal paperwork process about 2 to 3 months ahead, documents are typically submitted 4 weeks before the ceremony, so building in buffer time for anything unexpected is worth it.
Marriage requirements can change, so I always recommend confirming the latest details with Iceland’s National Registry or district commissioner’s office as your date approaches.
