Winter Iceland Pre Wedding Shoot - Albert Palmer

My first winter Iceland pre wedding shoot and I couldn’t have asked for better conditions. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Iceland twice before but both in ‘moderate’ conditions. That means – pretty cold, but I could get by with a jumper and jacket.

This pre wedding shoot was in February and I had at least 4 layers on. It was crazy cold, with some strong winds. But Samuel and Graz were absolute heroes! I’m not quite sure how they did but thank you SO much! Fortunately they managed to escape the shoot without contracting a cold – they must have pretty strong immune systems!

Pre Wedding Shoot Locations

As well as the Blue Lagoon we visited a few other famous locations including the Black Beaches, Skogafoss waterfall and also Diamond Beach. We also stumbled on to a beautiful Icelandic church – the location I will a secret for now! And a couple of quick aurora pre wedding shoot photos at Graz and Samuel’s hotel (Black Beach suites.) As well as these locations we stopped off in random locations whilst travelling from one spot to another.






One thing I was a little worried about was the amount of sunlight. Because the pre wedding shoot was in winter there were fewer hours of light in the day. Taking photos without light is a little tricky! So whilst I prepared and bought plenty of strobes I did wonder how much sunlight we would get. We got very lucky and things turned out perfectly. We got a good 7 hours of sunlight a day and it kept at a low ‘sunset’ level all day long. Sunset – or ‘the golden’ hour is one of the best times to take photos so we got really lucky.

La Cabane Beach Club Wedding - Albert Palmer

 My first La Cabane Beach Club wedding and it was a scorcher! Megan and Gary decided on a wedding in Marbella because it’s a place they spend a lot of time. It’s a really beautiful part of Spain and the travel happily coincided with my Mas Torroella wedding photography in the North of Spain. The day started out at the 5 star Hotel Los Monteros where Megan and Gary both got ready. Megan wore a Kate Fearnley veil. The ceremony was held at Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación. It is a church like no other I have visited! Whilst the architecture inspires a serious atmosphere the priest was extremely friendly and welcoming. There were plenty of laughs during the ceremony and it was great to photograph. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the ceremony although I shouldn’t have worried as it followed a pretty traditional catholic mass. 

Yorebridge House Wedding Photography - Albert Palmer

Gemma and Ricky recommended me to Amy & Phil after their wedding at Casa Cornacchi. I had a blinding drive up to North Yorkshire with amazing views. I love visiting new wedding venues and exploring new areas. Yorebridge House wedding photography was made all the more easier by incredible views and epic weather. It’s such a beautiful part of the world and I had blast! They got married at Askrigg Church. The children of the village stuck to tradition and tied the church gates closed. The traditions that the bride and groom have to pay the children sweets to untie the gates. I don’t see this at enough weddings although I guess you need a village of children who are free on a Saturday to make it work! Guests then travelled from the church to Yorebridge House on a big London double decker bus. They chose they venue because they love the outdoors of North Yorkshire and it is close to where Amy grew up. We had an incredible time and I remember the speeches which were epic! A massive than...
