Meet Mark — your photographer and filmmaker

Drawn to the
wild and real.

I’ve always been drawn to places that feel wild, remote and a little unpredictable. I work quietly and intuitively, giving you space to be fully present. I don’t stage moments or interrupt what’s real—I observe, feel, and translate your story into photographs and film that feel like you.

From Iceland and Norway to the Dolomites and South Africa, every place asks for something different. I bring the experience to adapt and the calm to keep your day feeling like your own.

Can you help us choose the best locations?

Absolutely. I’ll recommend places that fit your vision, season and sense of adventure—from waterfalls and black sand beaches to remote highland landscapes.

What if the weather is bad?

Iceland’s weather is part of the story. We plan with flexibility and adapt to conditions together; dramatic weather often makes for the most memorable moments.

Can you help plan our elopement?

Yes. I help with locations, timelines and logistics, so you can focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about the details.

When is the best time to elope in Iceland?

Every season has its own character—from summer’s long daylight to moody shoulder seasons and the possibility of winter snow and northern lights. We’ll find what fits your priorities.
