Jess & Aaron | Iceland Elopement

When I pictured Iceland I pictured this.

I pictured Jess & Aaron.

I pictured love.

A blisteringly cold, wet & wild setting.

Mist rolling in.

Waves crashing the sand.

A powerful wind.

Jess & Aaron so bravely embraced the elements & fell perfectly in place with the emotion of the landscape. I rarely do styled shoots and I’d forgotten how liberating they are - to be able to let go and just fully play has been so refreshing! I chose to embrace the rain like never before - to let the way it blurs the lens be a catalyst for creation.

An experience my heart & soul desperately needed — @rosesandreeds & @desertrose.creative held space for friendships to form & art to be made so beautifully & intentionally. They poured their hearts & souls into this retreat & just went so far above and beyond giving us all an adventure of a lifetime!

I think it will take me a long time to really process everything but I’m so grateful to Natalie & Alyssa for inviting us to come and teach & to everyone who was a part of it who has now become a lifelong friend!

Iceland was magical — completely breathtaking, mind bogglingly beautiful & getting to experience the beauty of the landscapes combined with love stories with the most incredible group of people has been a core memory! Truly so full of gratitude!
