Iceland Elopement Videographer Pricing and Packages

 
 

Planning an Iceland elopement is very different from planning a traditional wedding, and for many couples that is exactly why they choose it.

If you're at the stage of looking at pricing, you've already done the hard part, you've decided Iceland is where you want to do this. The packages below are designed around how elopements in Iceland actually work: travelling between locations, building in time for weather windows, and having enough coverage to capture the experience as it unfolds rather than rushing between set-up shots.

I work with two base packages and a selection of add-ons. Both include 4K delivery, drone footage where conditions allow, and audio coverage of your vows. If you're not sure which fits your plans, get in touch, most couples find it useful to talk through their itinerary before deciding.

Whether you are planning a quiet ceremony near Reykjavík, a South Coast adventure elopement, or several days exploring Iceland together, the aim is always to create a film that feels true to the experience you had there.

Rather than heavily staging the day, I focus on documenting the atmosphere, movement, and smaller moments that often end up meaning the most afterwards.

Choosing to elope in Iceland is usually about more than simply finding somewhere beautiful to get married. For many couples, it is a chance to step away from traditional wedding expectations and create an experience that feels more personal and more reflective of who they are together.

Some couples spend several days travelling through Iceland as part of their elopement, while others plan something quieter and more focused around a single location. There is no right way to approach it, which is part of the reason Iceland elopements feel so different from a traditional wedding day.

That is also why Iceland elopement videography becomes such an important part of the experience afterwards. The day itself often moves quickly, especially when you are travelling between locations or taking in Iceland for the first time. Having your elopement filmed allows you to return to moments that would otherwise fade over time and reconnect with the atmosphere of the day as it actually felt.

As an Iceland videographer, my approach is always natural and documentary-led. Rather than heavily directing the day, I focus on capturing what is genuinely happening so that your Iceland elopement film reflects the experience honestly rather than feeling staged or overproduced.

The Iceland elopement videography packages below are designed as starting points depending on the type of experience you are planning. Some couples keep things simple with a shorter elopement near Reykjavík, while others build several days around travelling through Iceland and documenting more of the journey itself.

Every couple approaches eloping in Iceland differently, and these examples are designed to help you understand how different timelines and locations can shape the experience and the final film.

Wanderlust in ICELAND: HALF DAY ELOPEMENT Package

5 hours | Locations on Reykjanes Peninsula or Golden Circle

A half day Iceland elopement videography package is ideal for couples planning a shorter, more focused experience without travelling huge distances across Iceland.

Most couples choosing this option stay within reasonable reach of Reykjavík or plan their elopement around one main area rather than spending the full day driving between multiple locations.

The coverage usually begins during the final part of your preparations before heading out together to the places where you plan to explore, exchange vows, or spend time together across Iceland’s landscapes.

Half day coverage works particularly well for:

  • shorter Iceland elopement timelines

  • ceremonies closer to Reykjavík

  • couples eloping during winter or shoulder seasons

  • smaller plans centred around one or two locations

  • relaxed adventures without extensive travel time

Even with fewer hours, there is still plenty of time to document the atmosphere of the day naturally, including the landscape around you, the quieter moments together, and the overall experience of eloping in Iceland without turning the day into a production.

Ultimate Adventure IN ICELAND: FULL DAY Elopement Package

8 hours | locations on The South Coast - Diamond Beach, Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon or Snæfellsnes Peninsula

A full day Iceland elopement videography package is often the best fit for couples who want more time to experience Iceland properly rather than trying to fit everything into a shorter timeline.

It works especially well if you are planning to visit multiple locations, travel further from Reykjavík, or simply want the day to feel more relaxed from start to finish.

Additional coverage also gives more flexibility for things that naturally happen during Iceland elopements, including:

  • travelling between different parts of Iceland

  • adjusting plans around weather conditions

  • spending longer in locations you genuinely enjoy

  • documenting more of the overall experience naturally

  • allowing time for drone footage where possible

  • visiting quieter locations away from busy tourist areas

The extra time usually changes the pace of the day completely. Couples are able to slow down more, spend time together properly, and enjoy the experience without constantly watching the clock or moving quickly between locations.

From a filming perspective, that often leads to a much more natural final film because there is time for the day to unfold properly rather than trying to force everything into a tight schedule.

Bespoke: Iceland Elopement Package

flexible to choose your days, hours, length of elopement videos, locations, extra shoots, and unique ideas.

This Iceland elopement videography package is for couples who want the freedom to build the day around themselves instead of fitting into a traditional wedding timeline.

A lot of couples who elope in Iceland are not looking for a big wedding experience at all. They are usually looking for something quieter and more personal, where they can spend time together and properly experience the place they chose to get married in.

For some people that means keeping things simple with a small ceremony somewhere along the South Coast before continuing their trip around Iceland. Others plan several days around the elopement itself, visiting different parts of the country and turning it into something that feels closer to an experience together than a formal wedding day.

Because of that, everything stays flexible, just how you want it.

Your Iceland elopement videography can be tailored around almost anything you have in mind, including:

  • multi-day Iceland elopements

  • additional filming locations

  • helicopter or adventure sessions

  • flexible coverage hours

  • extra videographers

  • pre or post elopement shoots

  • different film lengths

You can choose the number of hours you need, add extra days, include additional locations, videographers or plan something completely different if you already have ideas in mind. Some couples want to hike to quieter locations or arrange a helicopter landing on a glacier, while others just want coverage that allows them to enjoy the day without feeling rushed from place to place.

The filming itself is approached in a natural and documentary way. I am not there to direct every part of the day or constantly interrupt what is happening. Most couples book me because they want the experience captured honestly while still feeling present in it themselves.

That usually means paying attention to the smaller parts of the day that end up meaning the most afterwards. The weather changing while you drive between locations, stopping unexpectedly somewhere that looked incredible in real life, or finally having a quiet moment together once everything starts to settle in.

The final film is designed to feel like your experience of Iceland rather than a staged version of it.
