Scott and I are incredibly grateful to Ann and her team for ensuring we had the elopement of our dreams. From our first interaction, Ann was responsive and engaging, approaching ev...
erything we brought to her with a high level of professionalism and a can-do attitude. The quick turn around of our complete album was nothing short of astounding, and the quality was second to none.
Our day was nothing short of incredible, and every time we look at our stunning photos we are flooded with special memories - from exchanging vows in a private ceremony, to our first dance on a frozen lake, to watching whales from the sea cliffs, to hiking across untrodden snow, to discovering new locations and feeling the Icelandic wind in our faces as we looked to our future, to an intimate dinner in front of the fireplace, to seeing the northern lights for the very first time on the night we got married.
Ann guaranteed us a memorable day, and she absolutely delivered on that promise. There were definitely times when we were freezing and felt every gust of wind cut right through us - an adventure wedding is not for the faint of heart! - but it was worth it to have those private moments in such incredible landscapes and for those priceless memories.
At the end of our day, we were happy, relaxed, and basking in the glow of our adventure - and every time we look at our photos, or watch the videos our talented videography team gave us, all of those feelings come flooding back.
If you are considering eloping, I urge you to do it. If you have a love of adventure, we’d happily recommend Ann and her team.
I keep asking my husband on which anniversary we get to go back and do it all again...

Iceland Wedding Planner is the way to go when considering a wedding in Iceland. My wife and I have been talking to Ann since 2017 when we first contacted her. We then got married i...
n October of 2018. Along the way, Ann took care of pretty much everything. She is very organized and made sure we knew exactly what we were getting into from a financial and experience standpoint. She took care of the most intimidating part, the paperwork for getting married in Iceland (we live in the US). During the planning phase, she made sure we would hit all the locations we wanted to and gave us a lot of options. As for the wedding day itself, there is no experience that can compare.
Let me tell you about our day. We got up nice and early to get ready then drive to our destination. Once there we hiked up a mountain. There we got married on the mountainside. After that, we drove around all day making many stops at amazing locations. Often hiking 10-30 minutes to get to the ideal location. Props to my wife for doing all of this in a wedding dress. After dinner, Ann took us out into the cold night to get some amazing Northern Lights pictures.
We knew a “traditional” wedding wasn’t for us and Ann made our dream a reality.
Ann and her team are awesome! Always quick to answer questions and so patient. Ann had every detailed planned out, so there was no stress on us. We were able to enjoy our special...
day! It was a true adventure from our first Skype meeting to the final shot under the Northern Lights. Ann's work is amazing, you won't be disappointed!
Ann and her team gave me and my wife the best adventure wedding ever! After scouring the internet for months to try and find a suitable elopement package, Lauren came across 'Your ...
Adventure Wedding' and I can’t imagine a more incredible day with anyone as amazing as Ann and her team. There was something different about her photos that really stood out and it was love at first Skype!
Ann had everything planned down to a T and the itinerary was more than perfect. We saw things and went places we never dreamed of with no stress or worries at all!
We got amazing photographs of the best day of our lives, and an experience we’ll never forget. Me and Lauren cannot recommend them enough.
My husband and I used Iceland Wedding Planners for our wedding last year, and we cannot say enough good things about Ann and her team! From planning all of the logistics ahead of t...
ime to the day of the wedding, Ann made sure everything went just the way we hoped it would without any stress. We thought getting married in Iceland would be amazing, but Ann made it even better than we could’ve imagined. And her pictures were amazing. They captured the beauty of Iceland, tender moments, and laughter. They were everything we hoped for. We can not recommend her enough!
Best Day Ever!
No regrets about choosing this path for our wedding – had no desire to plan a big party inspired by pinterist back home but wanted the day to be special and memorab...
le and a full day superjeep tour in Iceland more than fit the bill. Ended up with 22 guests in tow and Ann and the jeep drivers did an excellent job keeping everyone organized and moving. Was a very well planned and well-executed day in truly gorgeous locations completely free of other tourists. Springing for the superjeeps was 100% worth it to get off the beaten track, and offroad jeeping is an adventure in itself wherever you are. All the decision making and planning for the day was pretty straightforward and stress free for us, aside from apprehension over the weather, which is just something you have to be prepared for in Iceland. Our mid-March day ended up being a rather lovely winter wonderland in the 30s and I was able to take pictures without being bundled up (a number of strategically placed hand warmers in between picture taking opportunities helped a lot). All in all an incredible day – by far the best wedding I’ve ever been to and I’d dare say our guests agreed!
If you want the most amazing wedding pictures and an adventurous wedding use Ann and her team. My husband and I are thrilled and we got not only the wedding we wished for but all t...
he most amazing wedding-pics.
One word....FABULOUS! Thinking of doing Iceland for your day? Look no further than Ann Peters and her team. Before our wedding we had never been to Iceland but we knew we wanted...
something completely different for our wedding. Ann was with us every through every step of the planning process and we could not have done any of it without her. Any questions we had were answered swiftly and expertly (and trust me I had a lot!)
She set up epic wedding scenarios for my husband and I to choose from. We were having 56 guests join us and Ann had everything perfected. Ann was our liaison to our venue, Hotel Glymur and I didn't have to worry about a thing.
Ann was not only our planner but our wedding photographer. She was a master at wrangling our 54 guests through the gorgeous vistas of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula all while taking the most breathtaking photos.
She was the most wonderful resource for all things Iceland and I know she will be our choice for any adventures we would want to go on in the future.
No matter what continent you may want to explore Ann and her team should be your guide!!
Ann planned and photographed our Iceland adventure wedding in September 2018. She expertly wrangled over 35 of our crazy guests and kept me, the bride calm and having fun the entir...
e time. We exchanged hundreds of emails leading up to the big day and she was always positive, enthusiastic and prompt. 100% recommend Ann and her team.
We had the best time with Ann and her team for our elopement. From the first contact they were professional, helpful, super speedy with responses (even when my questions were ridic...
ulous late night panic emails) and sooo knowledgeable about the area and weddings and the legal logistics (which were really clearly explained and super simple to work through leading up to our wedding).
On the day of our wedding everything ran like clockwork and we didn't have to worry about anything - Ann and her team had just thought of everything and it was lovely and not stressful at all.
During the day itself we barely saw anther person , and there were no areas full of tourists which made it really special, and seems to set her apart from other wedding organizers/photographers. She also made sure of extra little touches like a handwritten card and candles on the table for our wedding breakfast which were just lovely.
The photographs we had afterwards were amazing and delivered really quickly (with a few cheeky previews to keep friends and family happy in the meantime). We would thoroughly recommend Ann and her team for anyone looking to get married in Iceland
Ann was incredible! She is so knowledgeable in every aspect of her work. She coordinates every part of the day/evening and caters to your needs. Her energy was contagious! You can ...
truly see how much she loves her line of work. She takes the time to weekly scout and find the most remote secret spots for her couples. She works with awesome keep guys who keep you safe and really know their way around to maximize the experience. She coordinates your hotel, dinner/reception, makeup, hair, every detail for your special day. We couldn’t have been happier!
Ann is amazing!! We live in the US and she helped coordinate our mid-December wedding in Iceland. From start to finish, Ann was responsive, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and comp...
letely focused on making sure our day went smoothly. Not only did her schedule work out down to the *minute* and despite unpredictable Icelandic winter weather, but the photos were fantastic! She also got our photos to us within two weeks of our wedding, which has to be a record for a wedding photographer. Her fee is super reasonable, and we definitely felt she was worth it. It is really nerve-wracking to hire a wedding planner in another country that you don't meet until the day before the wedding, but Ann was so on top of everything, our wedding ended up being a stress-free and actually FUN process. She also used really great vendors, our super jeep guy Gudjon was wonderful, as were her hair and makeup stylists. Lastly, Ann went above and beyond to help us craft pre and post wedding itineraries in Iceland, she even put together Google Maps driving itineraries so that we could have action-packed days.
With so many positive things to say about Ann and her team it's difficult to know where to begin. We first contacted Ann two years prior to our wedding date and weren't sure about...
hiring a wedding planner. BEST DECISION EVER! Ann's attention to detail was above and beyond our expectations and with the many questions that came up along the way she was always prompt to reply. We could not have asked for a more perfect day that played out seamlessly. We were fortunate to have amazing weather but Ann was prepared for anything that mother nature could have thrown at us. The locations that she took us to were beyond our imagination...amazingly beautiful and super private! Her bubbly personality is infectious and so much fun....and her level of energy - crazy! Everything that she does makes for an unforgettable experience that you won't find anywhere else.
We are so happy that we decided to have our wedding with Ann & the Adventure Wedding Team! From the first email, to receiving our photos we could not fault them. Ann made it real...
ly easy for us by explaining how the day would go, knowing exactly what needed to be done before arriving in Iceland, and how much of an asset her and her team was to making our day perfect! We were nervous because we were travelling for a couple months before the day, and wanted to have no stress - and we got exactly what we wanted. The day of was amazing, we had so much fun and got to see amazing locations and not be bothered by any other tourists being around. We loved our Superjeep guide, and also video team which was recommended by Ann. We couldn't be happier with the photos, location, hotel, and everything that was done for us, we will definitely find something else to celebrate in the future so we can go on an Adventure day with Ann again!
My husband and I cannot speak more highly of Ann and Iceland Adventure Weddings/Your Adventure Wedding. We knew immediately that we wanted to work with her: her personality is bub...
bly and infectious! She is so knowledgeable and makes you feel completely at ease from the very beginning of the planning process. Planning a wedding abroad is a daunting task, but Ann took ALL of the stress away. We corresponded countless times over a year and a half of planning, and she always responded to our exhausting list of questions promptly. When it came time for our wedding day, Ann was flawless in execution. She corralled the two of us, our videography team, and both sets of parents without breaking a sweat! She ensured that our day was absolute perfection – from 5am to almost 10pm. It truly allowed us to relax and take in the magic of the entire day. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, and it was fun to watch her in her element all day. She has such a great eye for detail, I loved the moments when we would stop the van and run out for 5-10 minutes of pictures just because the light was perfect. I cannot begin to express how grateful we are to Ann, her team, and all that was done to ensure an EPIC wedding day!
My husband and I can’t thank Ann enough for making our Iceland elopement everything we hoped it would be: a magical, romantic adventure! She didn’t miss a detail and thought of eve...
rything that we needed and wouldn’t have thought of on our own. She was in constant communication leading up to the big day, providing everything from guidance on legal paperwork to hidden secret sights for the rest of our trip. She and her team are the best. Of course, the photos are just spectacular!
We had the time of our lives on our elopement in Iceland with Ann and her amazing team! They were super professional and organized like you wouldn’t believe! We chose awesome plac...
es that we wanted to experience and have our pictures taken. As with the unpredictable weather in Iceland, especially in the winter, there were spots we couldn’t get too. Ann and her team had other places "up their sleeves" in case we couldn't go to the areas we chose. These other secret spots were probably more amazing than the original areas! So beautiful! We are so incredibly happy we chose Ann and her team to plan, create and make our Iceland adventure wedding an epic, unforgettable day!
Matthew and I had a wedding that was beyond perfect. We knew we were wanting to do something intimate, unique and memorable, but Ann and her team delivered that and so much more. M...
y husband and I cannot be more thrilled with our wedding. The sites that were planned were gorgeous, the food was perfect, and the super jeeps were so much fun. I could rave for days, but the bottom line is Ann is the perfect wedding planner. She’s friendly, organized, extremely talented and so easy to communicate with. If I could do it all again, I would do it exactly the same, rain and all! Ann and her team were able to take us to parts of Iceland that a normal tourist would not be able to experience or think to visit. So, she made it very cool, adventurous and such a special way to get married. We also absolutely love our photos that came in a manner that was so fun! Every guest that made the trek to Iceland with Matthew and I are still talking about how magical the experience was and how we all want to go back!
Ann and her team went above and beyond to give us the most epic wedding day. We were initially bummed that some of our locations were compromised due to insane but typical Iceland...
spring weather (50+ km/h winds, snow, sleet, and rain). Ann's positive attitude and flexibility got us through it and we couldn't be happier with the results. She really will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot and is very professional and prompt with her communication during the pre-planning, wedding day, and post-wedding stages.
What an incredible experience! From first deciding that we wanted to have an adventure wedding through the wedding day, Ann was absolutely fantastic to work with. We started with o...
ur Skype meeting to discuss what we wanted our wedding day to look like and for her to learn more about us. From there, she put together multiple itineraries with so many breathtaking locations to visit throughout the day. I appreciated the variety and ended up loving locations from all of the lists she sent us, so she helped us create a new itinerary with all of our favorites and a couple of new locations she scouted. Ann was so helpful with getting details arranged in Iceland like hair, make-up, and the officiant (Pastor Egil is such a wonderful man - we couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us!). Then the day of our adventure wedding, the whole team she created was great. Ann was very thoughtful with her processes, coaching us through our photos, and making sure we were comfortable throughout the day. It was incredible, but so exhausting! We started the (windiest!) day at Thjofafoss and spent the rest of the day super-jeeping through Southern Iceland to a glacier, a canyon, a couple of caves, and waterfalls. Our day ended back at our hotel for a private reception for two and the surprise of the Northern Lights! I can't put into words how much we loved this experience. It was a perfect way to get married and have this day truly be about us and spending our lives together. Thank you to Ann for the most memorable and perfect day we could have asked for.
We wanted our wedding to not just be about the ceremony, but an overall experience in a place that we really wanted to go. Iceland was that place, and Ann was the person to make it...
happen. No request was too big or too small for Ann. From helping to customize our ceremony in a distant place, to finding a lighthouse for our wedding night. It was an experience that we will never forget.
At the beginning of our first Skype conversation with Ann she asked us to imagine hiking up a mountain in the rain for an hour in our wedding clothes and to rate how we would feel ...
on a scale of one (hating every minute) to ten (seriously excited). We looked at each other and both responded “ten”, which confirmed that we would continue the discussion with Ann. In that instant we knew we had found the right wedding planner. Ann just doesn’t accept clients for the money – she partners with people to create the perfect wedding.
Fast forward eight months and there we were – hiking up a mountain in our wedding clothes in the rain and beginning the most magical day imaginable.
Ann and the Iceland Wedding Planner team don’t just offer a formulaic experience. She provided us with options for itineraries and information and images of various destinations and from this we were able to choose where we wanted to visit on the day and create our own tailored experience. The only criterion was that we could fit the schedule into the day. Ann also provides options for the wedding details such as the celebrant, hairdresser, flowers and wedding cake so that we could create exactly the feel we wanted.
Ann just doesn’t bring creative flair to the wedding. She is the consummate professional who manages all of the administrative issues and scheduling with detail and precision. We were given a list of all paperwork required by the Icelandic authorities for approval to get married. There were a couple of small hiccups in getting some of the paperwork from our end, but Ann communicated regularly with the District Commissioner to help us manage this process and ensure that there would be no unexpected issues when we arrived in Iceland.
As a result, every part of the day was meticulously planned by Ann so all we needed to do was enjoy every moment without any concerns. On our wedding day Ann exuded warmth and made everything fun and enjoyable. She also chooses her service providers to ensure they provide the same combination of friendliness and assurance that everything would go smoothly. The superjeep driver skilfully navigated several deep fast-flowing rivers and freely chatted to us, giving interesting insights into Iceland. The celebrant Pastor Egil was an extraordinary and wonderful man. The words he wrote for our ceremony were just beautiful and somehow seemed so appropriate for us, despite only meeting him on the day.
And then there are Ann’s photos! They are just extraordinarily beautiful and perfectly capture the magic of the day. Ann is very accomplished photographer and really has the ability to craft amazing images using the light and the natural landscapes. We now have several pictures hanging on the wall and they stand alone as works of art – with the added benefit of constantly reminding us of our wonderful wedding day.
So, in summary, if you are considering an adventure wedding in Iceland, don’t consider anyone else. Ann and the Iceland Wedding Planner team will provide you the best experience imaginable.
If you’re planning a destination wedding Ann is the perfect wedding planner/photographer/designer/travel agent. She literally does it all. We worked with her for a destination w...
edding in rural Norway and we, and our guests, could not have been more pleased and amazed. We actually had not even been to Norway before but after talking to us about our likes and preferences she was able to craft several locations and itineraries for us. We ended up choosing a great location in Loen, Norway . Our wedding ceremony was held on the hotel grounds facing a beautiful fjord and mountains. After the ceremony we all hoped on a shuttle and adventured to a private beach/island, old stone bridges, and a cruise around Norway’s most famous fjord, and finally back to our hotel to enjoy a delicious dinner in a beautifully decorated room. Our wedding also included meeting up with friends and family in Bergen and then traveling through the countryside together. Ann even arranged for our group to be picked up from another small town in Norway to our wedding hotel together. She scouted and chose the locations in the area for our wedding pictures and took the photos herself. We could not have been more pleased with the quality of the photographs. Friends and family that we show the photos too say they should be in magazines… and in this case they actually have!

Her photos captured the romance of the day and the beauty and grandeur of the Norwegian landscape. Our group of friends and family that joined us on the trip remark that it was not only the best wedding they’ve attended but also one of the best vacations that they’ve had. In addition to being an amazing planner and photographer Ann also is an impeccable designer. She worked with us to gather, and ship to Norway, all the décor and flowers for the reception. Again, after speaking with us she was able to arrange decorate the reception room to somehow mirror exactly what we had envisioned. We could not have been more pleased with Ann. Her attention to detail, positive energy, skill, organization, and professionalism are incredible. If a completely unique and epic destination wedding are what you have in mind she is definitely the person you want to work with on making that a reality.
I wish I could give Ann more than 5 stars!! I contacted her about planning our Iceland wedding, and about 8 months later it was a reality! Ann was great with communication and answ...
ered every single little email I wrote almost immediately. We had a small, family-only wedding (the 2 of us and 9 guests) and Ann made it more amazing than I ever could have dreamed!! She has connections to private locations, which is so necessary now that the top sights in Iceland are visited by so many people each day. Our ceremony was held in front of a secret waterfall and we had our cocktail hour in a private cave -- not a single tourist in sight! On top of that, she delivered stunning photos of our perfect day. I would recommend Ann to anyone wanting to get married in Iceland!! Video of our wedding day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_u9Xdmw-qM
. Ann the Iceland Wedding Planner is phenomenal! Our magical Iceland wedding day was never to be forgotten. She was key in making our Iceland wedding easy to plan and was an inc...
redible wedding planner and (importantly!) wedding photographer. Look at our photos and all the photos she took on her website. She is easy to work with, accessible, replies quickly and is well informed as she is a USA citizen from Michigan but lives in Iceland. She skyped us in the USA to help us with Iceland Marriage paperwork, she planned and executed the wedding without a hitch, arranged hair and makeup, transportation, priest and arranged a phenomenal day adventure for a stress free magical Katla Glacier wedding day . . We were so happy. On our wedding day our adventure continued as our driver Good John drove us to incredible sights, taking photos on the black sandy beach and near a canyon where they filmed "Game of Thrones". We ate our wedding picnic lunch near the Katla glacier, had a romantic private wedding dinner overlooking the river at the Hotel Ranga, and midnight photos at a Sod House. In addition... Miss Ann helped plan our honeymoon in Iceland before and after our wedding! She included discounts on cars and made hotel recommendations and key (and secret!) sightseeing spots. What a total help in planning our trip and saved us money and aggravation in planning accommodations and sights. On her recommendations in three weeks we drove the Ring Road. We drove the Golden Circle and hiked in Pingvellir National Park. We stayed in the south and hiked Selfoss , behind Seljalandsfoss, and Skogafoss, saw the Volcano house and old farms showing how the Icelanders lived the near Eyjafallajokull. We hiked to see puffins above Vik and Reynisfjara, We drove to the south east and hiked through through Skaftafell , boated through the Jokulsarlon Lagoon and stayed in Hofn. We drove north and stayed in Akureyri, hiked through the Myvatn Lake trails to see birds and geothermal sights, up to the incredibly powerful Dettifoss in the north, took at whale watch tour in North Iceland at Husavik and hiked to Godifoss. We drove past Hvitserkur and Dynjandifoss at the Arnarfjorour fjord to the West Fjords to stay in Isafjorour and drove one day to the western bird cliffs. We drove to the Snaefellsnes Penninsula and hiked to Kirkjufellsfoss by the Kirkjufell mountain, Arnarstapi arch and to the Song Cave. I highly recommend Miss Ann without reservation as she is efficient, nice, easy to work with and a phenomenal photographer!
My wife and I contacted Ann to plan our trip and ceremony in Iceland, and from the first few emails and video calls, we knew we were going to be very well taken care of. Ann made c...
hoosing our options and compiling an itinerary very approachable, which was made possible by her own (apparently limitless) energy and the great relationships she's cultivated with other folks across Iceland. As a result, we had an amazing experience - our hotel was lovely and the preparation was scheduled; we were conveyed around the southern coast by an incredible pair of 4x4 off-road drivers; the ceremony was in a gorgeous, secret waterfall location; and Ann even enabled my wife to conspire with friendly Pastor Egill to start off the ceremony with the blessing from wedding scene from the movie "The Princess Bride." (This is 100% true. I did not see it coming and we could not stop laughing. There IS video. It was the best.)
We had lunch in an ice cave and my wife got to climb a glacier in a wedding dress. We drove to the coast and had a cliffside photo session, and then drove down to the beach at the bottom of the same cliff for more amazing sights. And the whole time, Ann was offering encouragement and helpful advice, was taking amazing photos, and never stopped making us feel welcomed, catered to, and invigorated.
We are so pleased to have worked with Ann and absolutely recommend her for arranging your wedding in Iceland.
Ann was great. She should go by SuperAnn instead of Miss Ann. I like to think of myself as relatively adventurous (thus Iceland Adventure Wedding), but we couldn't have done it wit...
h out her. She managed the venue, guests, food, locations, transportation and took the photos. She even walked through rivers, hiked up a mountain, all while carrying our extra coats and taking pictures to make sure we could capture the days memories. I can't wait to go back to Ann for vow renewals :), and couldn't imagine working with anyone else.
Ann was GREAT, she was exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I came from Canada to have our adventure wedding in Iceland. We spent days choosing our locations and then...
a huge storm forced us to change all of them the night before, but Ann still delivered on great locations and kept the stress levels down. She listened to the kinds of photographs I wanted and delivered amazing results. Communication was easy and prompt and it felt like I barely had to do anything, just make a choice on something and Ann would get it done!
My husband and I became engaged on 6 February 2016 and due to his next work posting needed to get married that Easter. We both knew we wanted to elope and as neither of us are 'bea...
ch' people and we'd previously had a wonderful holiday in Iceland in 2011 we decided on Iceland. It was then a matter of how on earth we went about arranging this in just 8 weeks! The answer was Ann! I contacted her and was blown away with her enthusiasm, but more importantly her organisational skills (as a control freak myself I felt perfectly comfortable in her very capable hands). Ann and her team go above and beyond to ensure that each couple has a unique and very personal wedding day. Indeed on our wedding day we explored a brand new waterfall. Ann and her team's relationships with local landowners means that she gets access to locations others will not. I'd also add that her client care goes above and beyond - the day before our wedding I somehow managed to leave my handbag (complete with camera and passport!) at the registry office (40 miles away from our hotel), Ann came to the rescue and organised for one of the hotel staff travelling from Reykjavik to pick my bag up en route and I had it back by the next morning. Ann will literally do anything to make sure your day runs smoothly! I cannot recommend her highly enough and that's before I've even said how absolutely amazing the photos are - we are thrilled with them and friends and family are astounded, we are frequently told they are the best wedding photos anyone has ever seen. My recommendation - if you're eloping to Iceland, book with Ann!
Working with Ann was a pleasure. She was always professional, creative, and full of positive energy while we were planning our elopement with her. As an added bonus, she is an abs...
olute joy to be around. Even though we eloped, we genuinely feel like we spent our wedding day with good friends (her assistant was also a delight).
We wanted to get married in Switzerland, a location photosbymissann had not previously ventured to. We decided to take a leap of faith by booking an inaugural trip with Ann and boy did it pay off. Ann took our input and managed to find beautiful locations, totally nailing our vision. We love our pictures, not only because they capture the beauty of the surrounding landscapes in a unique way, but because our personalities and love for each other really shine in our photos. The little moments she managed to capture, coupled with epic shots, do not feel not contrived in any way.
We engaged Ann to plan and photograph our elopement in Iceland. She provided many options for the locations and guidance of the documents required to register our marriage in Icela...
nd. She even helped us with our itinerary for the rest of our trip. We had the craziest day of our lives and it was only possible because of Ann and the energy she brings with her. We love the secret waterfall (her idea) where we registered our marriage and although the weather turned rainy in the middle, Ann was able to change locations, always asking if we’re doing ok and running by us the options we have for the rest of the day. The day felt just right, neither too long nor too short, making us felt accomplished. Even after the actual day, she continues to follow up on our documents to make sure we received them back home. Absolutely glad we gone with Ann for our elopement.
Honestly, I am not sure where I can even begin. My (at the time) fiance and I were repeat customers for Ann. Our first trip to Iceland was 2 weeks after our engagement. I searched ...
and searched for a local photographer which was difficult so last minute.. but then I found Ann. She was fantastic. We are not picture people and were scared it would be awkward and it was the complete opposite. We had the BEST time at locations we never would have known about if not for her. Hands down our best day on that first trip to Iceland and our engagement photos were out of this world. So naturally, a year later when our 100 plus people wedding had gotten out of control and too far gone from what we wanted.. going back to Iceland to elope with Ann's help was a no brainer. Let me start by mentioning.. this was pulled together in LESS THAN A MONTH'S time. Our at home wedding got so out of our reach that we last minute decided to escape for a few days just weeks before our wedding in order to get married on our own terms. Ann was up for the challenge and helped us get everything we wanted without skipping a beat. To say it was the most incredible experience and day of our lives would be an understatement. Her whole team was professional and helpful and honestly just downright FUN. There was not a single detail left out or missed. Our only complaint is that it is over. Luckily our photos are the most breathtaking remembrance of such a perfect day. If you are looking to get married in Iceland look no further, you really cannot find anyone better than Ann and her team! Deciding to elope in Iceland was the best decision we have ever made and it would never have been possible without Ann- her enthusiasm and love of adventure are infectious. We are forever grateful for our most perfect day.
My husband and I went to Iceland on our first vacation and ended up getting engaged. We decided we had to go back and elope in such a beautiful and meaningful place. We did a searc...
h and of all the planners we found, Ann stood out the most. Her website was comprehensive and she did an artful job of showcasing her wedding/elopement photography. We changed our mind several times before we finally decided on a package and she was very accommodating and never made you feel rushed or like you were wasting her time. The actual adventure elopement was better than any traditional "tour" you'd go on in Iceland. It was just my husband and me, Ann, and our awesome driver. We drove through rivers, up mountains, on the beach while jumping out at every location to take pictures. Touring the country while getting married was the best experience and I'm so glad Ann captured it all for us. When I look at my pictures to this day, it takes me back to each moment as if it happened yesterday. Choosing anyone else would not do that day the justice that Ann did it.

Location - Little black church Budir and then an adventure of the surrounding area
After we decided on the beautiful location of...
Iceland we researched Iceland photographers and Ann’s work kept catching our eye. We got chatting to her, she was extremely friendly, enthusiastic and attentive. We sent Ann a photo that caught our eye of Budir church with the surrounding area being a burnt orange/yellow colour and a white snowy mountain backdrop and asked her 'What time of year is this?' She replied "it's Iceland it could be anytime of the year. Every day is different and unpredictable but thats the magic of Iceland, no wedding is ever the same'. We absolutely new what she meant and decided on the month of March with an open mind that we could face any weather conditions on the day. When the day arrived it was cold crisp morning, it had snowed the night before so there was a thin layer of snow on the ground. The grass was a burnt yellow/orange colour, the sky was moody and the mountains were white, It was perfect for the photos. The ceremony was super early in the morning meaning we had the rest of the day to go on what was the best adventure of our lives". Ann really packed our day with adventure and fun, we visited lava fields, black volcanic beaches, explored Snaefellsnes Peninsula, crossed rivers and hiked to secret waterfalls. If the day couldn’t get any better we then explored Vatnshellir Cave which is an 8000 year old lava cave. We followed the path of the lava flow, about 200 meters into the cave and 35 meters below the surface to see amazing colors and lava formations. We were the first couple ever to do so on our wedding day. It was truly spectacular.
One of this surprising things about the day was actually in the morning before ceremony started, Ann suggested that she would take the Aaron (groom) up to church and she would come back for the stacey (bride). We had just assumed that because we eloped and it was only the two of us that we have to see each other before the ceremony. Doing it this this way left the revealing of the bride until we met at the alter. It really was a beautiful touch and Aaron cried. At the alter we were greeted by pastor Egill who was so kind and friendly and made us feel at ease. He wrote the best service for us and we cannot thank him enough for making wedding day so special and heartwarming. We will honestly never forget the effort than Anna and Pastor Egill went to to give us such a special and unforgettable day.
Ann is not only a fantastic photographer but also an amazing wedding planner and daring adventurer. She will have you doing things on your wedding day that you didn't think possible. She went above and beyond to ensure we ticked off the long list of cool places we wanted to visit on the day. Although the day was busy Ann still ensured we have time to ourselves. She also ensured we were comfy and happy at all times. We would highly recommend her and her awesome photography skills.

and. She knew local vendors and made the planning process a breeze. I was looking for someone to take the burden of planning off me significantly while still ensuring my style preferences were met. She did that perfectly.
Not only did we have an epic, unforgettable wedding experience, Ann made sure that our guests were equally blown away. Simply put, Ann Peters aka Iceland Wedding Planner offers a p...
henomenal service for those looking to have a unique, adventurous wedding experience.
The only critique we have is of ourselves. In trying to stay within our budget, we opted out of some additional services that would have added convenience to the day-of experience. If this is the first time you are throwing a wedding and you are intimidated by the costs, trust us, all of her services are worth every penny! The less you have to stress about details on your wedding day, the better. She blows any competition away with her attention to detail and knowledge of the Icelandic countryside.
Overall, Iceland Wedding Planners planned an amazing wedding adventure for us and our 90+ guests in Vik. The two day event included a welcome reception on Friday evening, then Saturday we began with a morning wedding at the local church, followed by a day-long “super-jeep” adventure for the entire wedding party. This included glaciers, a hot dog bbq in a gigantic cave, and an amazing race down the black sand beach just west of Vik. After all that, she organized an amazing wedding reception for our guests that was beautifully done. We will never forget this special, unique experience. Ann was there every step of that way- she's organized, driven, considerate, and detail oriented. We simply couldn't have done it without her.
Ann is absolutely the very best!! We were so fortunate to find her to be our wedding planner and photographer. We knew we wanted to elope to Iceland and get married but had never b...
een to Iceland and had no particulars in mind. As soon as we saw Ann's website and her idea to have your wedding be an adventure wedding in Iceland, we were sold! And she was fabulous! From the moment we had our first Skype session with her, through the planning phase, the days before the wedding day, the UNBELIEVABLE & AMAZING WEDDING DAY, to our honeymoon in Iceland which she planned for us; she was there to answer any and all questions and give us a unique beautiful meaningful adventurous wedding day that we will never ever forget. And her photos are absolutely STUNNING! We cannot give Ann enough kudos so if you are thinking of getting married in Iceland and you want a unique experience then we highly recommend Ann and Iceland Wedding Planner. Jodi & Patrick
Given the type of work Ann Peters does, it seems appropriate to deliver this review in the form of a wedding toast:
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests. What can I say abo...
ut wedding planner and photographer extraordinaire, Ann Peters? Well, the first thing that comes to mind is professionalism. At every step along the way of our year and a half of planning a destination wedding to Iceland, Ann was responsive, confidence-instilling, and instrumental in making our day special. There is no way that my fiancée and I would have felt comfortable pulling off a wedding in a foreign country without help, and Ann was the perfect planner. She took all of the hassle out of wedding planning and that says a lot! She got to know us through email and skype calls and right away understood the tone and approach that we wanted to take. She always responded to our emails quickly and with a wealth of useful information. At no time in the process did we ever feel “lost” or unsure of what was going on. My fiancée and I joked that we liked Ann so much it almost felt like we were hiring someone to be our friend!
Ann’s services were invaluable and her prices were more than fair. For the amount of work that she put into the event (not to mention the planning and advice for the trip surrounding the event) I would have gladly paid her above and beyond her fee, and that doesn’t even take into account the pictures that she took!
Her photos are impeccable, epic, dramatic, amazing! I can’t say enough about the quality of her work and the locations she scouted. These are not the kind of pictures that you will bring back from a normal tour of Iceland. These are jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind shots that you can only get with someone who knows the area and can scout out these secret spots.
I could go on and on about Ann, about her rock-star personality, her supernatural ability to bound effortlessly through the terrain like a mountain goat, how she made a day so memorable that my fiancée and I joked that we should get divorced just so we could hire Ann again to plan another wedding – but I’ll leave it with this final point. When we got the pictures back and relived our day viewing them with our parents, my mother started to tear up like she was right back on that beautiful mountain that Ann found for us. Thank you Ann, you do not disappoint. Raise a glass to Ann.
What a great wedding day in lovely Iceland! Totally awesome! Although it was raining the whole day long Ann made it a perfect day for both of us. Together with Guðjón (Katla Track)...
we had so much fun marrying, exploring and enjoying the fantastic and impressive nature, laughing and eating pylsa and chocolate cake together. All of the photos Ann took in heavy rain are really great, she went through mud and risked to damage/ruin her camera in order to capture lasting images of those unique moments for us.
Ann did also a great job in coordinating our wedding beforehand. We got great ideas of possibilities how and where to marry of which we were able to compose our individual wedding day. She made sure that all necessary documents arrive on schedule, she remembered us again and again and was always available for answering all of our questions so that nothing could go wrong and we were able to calm down and enjoy our trip to Iceland.
Thanks, Ann, for a fantastic time, an unforgettable wedding day and awesome photos of one of our greatest days of our lives!
We hired Ann to plan our wedding in Iceland. It would not have been possible without her. From submitting paperwork, picking the hotel, communitcating with the hotel all the way to...
planning every adventure on wedding day she was worth her weight in gold. She also kept everything on track the day before the wedding as well as the day of. She was frontline to put out fires and make sure everything went smoothly. We are so greatful we found her and were able to make our destination wedding dream come true!
Oh my goodness! There is absolutely no way we could have had the wedding that we did without Ann! In October we decided that wanted to get married in Iceland and due to schedule ...
issues we had six months and no real idea how to coordinate an overseas wedding. After looking into looked into a few travel agencies and contacting some hotels directly to start planning, we found Ann. The first Skype session pretty much sealed it for us. We chose Iceland because of its unbelievable natural beauty and we wanted to spend as much time out in it as possible. Ann created seven different full-day, multi-location outdoor adventures, and when we came back and said we really couldn’t decide between a locations from two different plans, she made an eighth one to suit. Her thoroughness and attentiveness to detail not only made the wedding day itself run smoothly (and according to a packed schedule!), but it took out a ton of the stress.
Ann was prompt with responses, conscious of our budget, organized (hooray for putting everything into a single multi-tab excel file!!), confident and always upbeat. She was on top of the booking and arrangements for the hotel, reception décor and menus, flowers, celebrant, a bus for the fourteen of us, and a darling mini kransekaka wedding cake. She also went beyond the wedding day itself – working with us to plan, and then also photographing, a traditional tea ceremony and family dinner the night before. We could not have been more pleased with our experience! Thank you thank you thank you Ann!!!
And the photos? A picture is worth a thousand words right? So check them out for yourself!

We contacted Ann via the email address provided on her website, and she got back to us very quickly. Right from the start, her enthusiasm grabbed us! We could tell how passionate s...
he is about Photography & Weddings, especially in Iceland. She was so friendly and very helpful with everything. She arranged a Skype session with us, to discuss everything in more detail. We told her exactly what we wanted our wedding to be, and she was only too pleased to provide!
Ann provided us with 7 different options for Wedding itineraries, from which we could mix and match, in order to build the perfect day for us and our 11 guests.
Throughout the process of arranging and booking all of the aspects of the wedding (i.e. Pastor, Transport, Sound System, Flowers etc.) Ann kept us up to date regularly, via email, which kept us at ease and in the know. Ann also handled all Hotel booking, and managed to get us and our guests, 15% discount, which was great!
When we arrived in Iceland, our hotel informed us that Ann hadn't arrived yet, but had contacted them (and us via email) to say that she had been delayed as a result of bad weather. She reassured us that she would definitely be there in the morning, in time for the wedding that day, and also arranged a backup photographer, incase she still hadn't arrived at the very start of the morning, while we were getting ready.
We cannot thank Ann enough for giving us (and capturing) the most perfect day of our lives. We would, without doubt, recommend her to anyone looking for a Destination Wedding planner/photographer. We will certainly be contacting Ann again, when we renew our vows in years to come and maybe even a 1 year Anniversary shoot, this November!! hehe ;)
Fantastic photographer and wedding planner - better than we could have ever imagined.

Miss Ann was phenomenal! We knew she was the right photographer almost right away. She is personable, passionate, excited, and talented. She was a great person to spend our special...
day with. Plus, our wedding photos are so gorgeous that we had trouble deciding which ones we wanted to purchase! Miss Ann had lots of suggestions for us - from photo locations to poses - and she was patient with us as we took our time making decisions. She allowed us to make our own decisions but provided great guidance and an artistic eye. We ultimately ended up taking her advice in selecting our photo prints, and we love all of our pictures! We highly recommend her and we would hire her again in a heartbeat!
My (now) husband and I knew we wanted to get married in Iceland, but we also knew we did not want all of the stress that comes along with planning a destination wedding...After an ...
internet search we found Ann's webpage and from our first Skype session with her we knew she would be perfect for planning and photographing our Icelandic wedding!
Communication with Ann was top-notch throughout the entire planning process. She is detail-oriented, organized and kept everything running smoothly. She and her amazing assistant Beth were everything we needed them to be (and more) on our actual wedding day! They kept the excitement and energy alive, all the while keeping everyone organized.
Needless to say our photographs were breathtaking.I have received so many compliments that my husband and I have the best wedding pictures that they have ever seen. Because Ann has traveled to and explored Iceland so many times, she knew exactly which locations and areas would be the best to photograph us and took us to many epic spots off the beaten path.
If I could go back and do it all over again, I wouldn't...because I could never ask for anything to even come close to the amazing job that Ann did. We are so happy we had her as our incredible planner and photographer! We highly recommend her :)
Ann is absolutely amazing in every way! There is no way we would have had an Icelandic wedding beyond our dreams without her. She is a detailed-oriented, proactive planner with a...
ll the connections. She is an adventurous and artistic visionary with an eye for the most amazing destinations and the perfect shot. And she is a best friend – always there for you no matter how small the detail or how many questions you have, and always with a prompt, witty and thoughtful reply. Ann let us know from the very beginning that our wedding was as important to her as it was to us, and she went above and beyond to make the day extraordinary for us. She made our secret little Icelandic elopement feel like an extravagant wedding for two with extra detail perfectly thought out. We are more than grateful to her. Thank you Ann – we love you for giving us a phenomenal day that we will cherish forever!!!
And thank you to Beth – a last minute addition to the team who surprised us with a beautifully crafted wedding day video. The two of them together are a dynamic duo whose company and professionalism made our Icelandic elopement truly memorable and a one-of-kind experience. I can’t imagine a better wedding planning / photography team than Photos than Miss Ann – they are simply the best there is!
I could not ask for more in a photographer! She lives by her saying, "Thriving on adventure and love". She made our day even better than I could have dreamed of. She allowed us to ...
have moments together, she'd say, "I'm going to set up my camera over here, (groom) tell the (bride) how you felt when you first saw her walk down the aisle". My husband and I had a moment to breath, look in each other's eyes and enjoy our day, while she captured every beautiful moment. I would choose her again in a second!! She's fantastic, energetic and fun!
Ann was AMAZING! She was extremely organized and kept my day flowing exactly as planned! She had so much enthusiasm and was genuinely excited to make our day special. She went abov...
e and beyond to get the best pictures. We also received our edited pictures back extremely fast. I would HIGHLY recommend Photos By Miss Ann to everyone who wants to have a perfect wedding day!
What an AMAZING photographer/wedding planner Miss Ann is. . . AMAZING! She is extremely organized which relieved any anxiety one might have about planning a destination wedding. Sh...
e kept me well within our budget. In fact, everything turned out more fabulous than I could have imagined. She often sent me reminders about paperwork for licensing over seas, which I had no clue about.
The day of our wedding we had epic blue skies (which I am somewhat certain Miss Ann has something to do with) and each place she stopped to take photos was more beautiful than the last. She has absolutely no fear, and will climb on a roof or hang out a moving car window in order to catch the perfect shot.
Any/Everyone wants to get married should absolutely contact her if you want your day to be as magical as you have always dreamed.
Ann + Chris are awesome! If you are looking for a duo to photograph your wedding, you've just found them! Ann is so creative, high energy, always looking for the perfect shot, flex...
ible, super responsive, and overall was my go-to person for setting up the photo timeline for our wedding. I couldn't have chosen a better company and photographer for my wedding. (Also, if you are a bride-to-be, ask Ann about a boudoir shoot as a groom's gift idea. My husband raved about the pictures Ann took. She created a fun, friendly atmosphere and made me feel comfortable in every shot.)
I could not be happier with the service I received from Ann from the minute I talked to her we instantly clicked I knew she was the one that was going to be able to capture every m...
oment of my wedding day. Ann is fun , energetic,creative and outgoing. The compliments I receive from both my wedding and engagement photos are endless . When I move on to the next stage of my life ( having babies) Ann will be the only photographer I contact to take my newborn pictures. SIMPLY AMAZING!
