Intimate and Natural Couples Portraits in Iceland

November 12, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Intimate-Natural-Couple-Portraits-in-Iceland-Charis-Rowland-Photography-63

Though we’re sure it was rather chilly beside glacier lagoon Jokulsarlon, these couples portraits in Iceland of are irresistibly hot. Ashley and Kaleb were joined by Charis Rowland Photography as they enjoyed a romantic adventure across some of Iceland’s most picturesque landscapes. From kissing beneath a waterfall in Seljalandsfoss to taking a dip in the Seljavallalaug Pool, every moment was as authentic as it was extraordinary.

From the Photographer: It’s hard to even put into words how incredible this trip was and how unreal these places are. It all still feels a bit surreal. This whole collaboration kind of snowballed from my daydreams and musings to travel plans and last minute shopping sprees. Somehow it all came together and exceeded every single expectation. Kaleb and Ashley are two of our dearest friends so once we started talking about a trip to Iceland it was hard to think about anything else. At some point I casually mentioned doing some styled shoots while there and they were totally on board so naturally all of my creative energies launched into hyperactivity dreaming up scenarios. It was amazing to capture their very real love in such a stunningly beautiful place.

Earthy Pastel Wedding at Skyloft Ski Resort

November 12, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Earthy-Pastel-Wedding-at-Skyloft-Resort-Daring-Wanderer-46

Kayleigh and Siam are a nature-loving couple, through and through — just take a look at their breathtaking Lake Minnewanka engagement session for proof — so it’s no surprise that the adventurous pair chose a ski resort for their wedding venue. With pastel elements sprinkled throughout the earthy décor, Kayleigh and Siam tied the knot at Skyloft Ski Resort. It may have rained throughout their ceremony, but a little bit of unexpected weather couldn’t deter this romantic celebration. Daring Wanderer Photography took the drizzly skies as an opportunity to capture the most beautifully intimate portraits of the newlyweds indoors.

The Couple:

Kayleigh and Siam

The Wedding:

Skyloft Ski Resort, Uxbridge, Ontario

Standing up at our altar, getting married to my favorite person, was the best moment of the day. I was on the verge of laughing and crying the entire time. I remember looking one way out at the rain and mist in the hills, and than inside to the warmth and love of our family and friends. I felt like I was in a dream land.

Our décor was inspired by and reflected the nature that we love, our adventurous spirits, and the many talents of our family and friends. Even though it wasn’t part of the plan, the rain created a beautiful warm atmosphere that was steeped in the love and happiness of our guests.

Our first dance was also amazing. We had taken a few dance lessons because it was something we always had wanted to do. But with my dress, we were barely able to do any of the choreography. We danced anyway and sang to each other like we were the only people there. Towards the end of our song our wedding party joined in with us, and pretty soon all of our guests were dancing and singing along with us.
