Iceland | Svartifoss + Black Sand Beach
- The morning of these two hikes, I woke up at dawn to see the sunrise over the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Seeing as my visit was in May and there were nearly 24 hours of daylight, that sunrise happened at three thirty am. But being one of our last days in Iceland, I didn't want to go back to sleep [...]
Iceland | Morning at Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
- I went a little crazy on this post. Quite honestly, there were too many favorites. After arriving at Jökulsárlón late the day before and staying up past midnight to watch the sunset, we set our alarms for 3:30am to catch the best of the morning light. Usually I think that sunsets are much more vibrant tha [...]
Iceland | Driving to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Jökulsárlón, also known as Iceland’s Glacier Lagoon, was one of our top must-see places on my visit. I have never seen anything like this in person. The icy blues of the lagoon were just incredible. It was a ways off the beaten path (maybe a 5 hour drive outside of Reykjavik ) but SO worth the trip. Bein [...]
Iceland | Driving to South Iceland and Seljalandsfoss
- After hanging out on Snaefellsness Peninsula, enjoying some of the geothermal hot pots, and photographing Lorra and John's beautiful wedding at the Hotel Budir, it was really really hard to leave West Iceland. But- at the same we knew there were some epic waterfalls down in the south [...]
Iceland | Geothermal Hot Springs and Hot Pots
The day after our first wedding in Iceland, I drove from Snaefellsnes Peninsula back to an area just outside of Reykjavik. We actually spent the whole day looking for natural hot pots and only lucked out at the very end. The other two were very hard to find and probably required four wh [...]
Iceland | Hotel Budir to Borgarnes
- Still basking in the glow of our first wedding in Iceland, I woke up this morning ready for some adventure. This day, we would leave the Snaefellsness Peninsula and all its beauty to head on towards South Iceland. We planned to stop at a few places we noticed on the way up. Al [...]
Iceland | Reykjavik - Hotel Budir - Olafsvik
- We just cannot believe the luck we had being able to photograph a wedding in Iceland. Seriously- it was a dream come true! We'd been talking about coming here for years, and for some reason, each year something else would come up that made us unable to follow through wit [...]
May Snow on the Blue Ridge Parkway | Boone, North Carolina
- When I arrived in Boone the other week it was pretty warm out. Hot enough to wear shorts at least. But if there is one thing we have learned about being in the mountains, its that the weather is unpredictable. The day that it snowed- we had absolutely no idea what was coming. We had planned a backpacking trip up [...]
Rough Ridge Hike | Boone, North Carolina
- Rough Ridge is a hike that I actually found while browsing through Instagram. Its a really popular spot close to Appalachian State in Boone, North Carolina and its located right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Finding the actual trailhead was a little illusive- as there are a lot of [...]
Hawksbill Mountain + Linville Gorge Wilderness | North Carolina
- Hawksbill Mountain is an absolute gem of a hike. I had a day all to myself as my business partner caught up on editing, so I decided to check out some hikes I had seen online. I was actually on my way from Boone to the Table Rock hike when I drove right past the parking area for Hawksbill Mo [...]
