Welcome to Joe Pyle Photography...
We are a husband and wife elopement photographer team, traveling the world to create beautiful, adventurous elopement photography in places that make your heart stir and your head swim.
Some basic info...
Here’s some information that most folks don’t really know. The average cost of a wedding today is about $30,000. On average, that’s about $225 per person invited. If that number scares you a bit (like it does us!) maybe working with an elopement photographer in Iceland is a better alternative. You can then have a party with your friends and family when you arrive home!
For less than half the cost of a traditional wedding you can buy plane tickets, rent an SUV, book a beautiful hotel, invite a few friends and family, have a ceremony, and a beautiful reception…
…then have an adventure session in one of the most sought after locations in the world. Sound nice? Read on…

More than an elopement...
If you didn't know already, an elopement in Iceland is more than just an elopement. It is a chance to get away together to an amazing island, full of beauty and amazing natural features. Geysers, waterfalls, caves, glaciers, and volcanic rock line the countryside. Sharing in an adventure here will be just one of the many memories you'll create together.

VIEWS FOR MANY, MANY MILES
Scenes like this are in nearly every direction
Being in Iceland will give you a sense of history and culture you've never had. The nordic traditions, the beautiful language, and the amazing landscape all lend to a remarkable place for an elopement.
This is about you, right?
An elopement in Iceland, or anywhere else for that matter, is about you two. When you decide to elope it's a decision based on love for each other. What you're saying is that the one you love is more important than pleasing others.
Let us know how we can help you with your elopement planning.
Beauty in every direction
Driving Hringvegur, or the "ring road" you'll feel as though you've stepped into another world, and in many ways you have. The landscape, the people, and the quaint towns that dot the countryside are all unique to this part of the world and you can see for miles. Having traveled to Iceland and spent several weeks here, we know how to tailor an elopement for our couples that will be remote, beautiful, and memorable.
Interested in a wedding at the Black Church of Budir?
We’ve worked alongside the folks at Hotel Budir and at the world famous Black Church and can’t recommend it highly enough.
A little about us...
Not only are we adventure elopement photographers, we are adventurers and we love the outdoors.
Our time is taken with being outside enjoying the wildernesses, forests, and oceans that this amazing world has to offer. Living in the mountains has taught us a healthy respect for being outside and treating wild places with care. In our spare time we rock climb, hike, fly fish, run, and mountain bike.
Most importantly we are parents, and love our two boys more than anything. It's humbling to watch two people grow into amazing individuals and we can't wait to see what they are going to add to this world.
The world famous
Black Church at the Budir Hotel on Snaefellsnes Peninsula
The world famous Black Church of Budir resides on the Snæfelsness peninsula and sits next to the beautiful Hotel Budir. We have worked with the good folks at this amazing hotel and stayed there many nights. It’s worth looking into for a small elopement! The amenities in the hotel speak to an older Iceland that resonates with seafaring and a time hundreds of years ago. The nordic traditions and customs are not forgotten in this beautiful, quaint hotel.
Both the Hotel Budir and the Black Church on this peninsula are destinations on their own and are listed as some of the top places to see on this side of the island. Do yourselves a favor and look into a stay here. It’s a step back in time and you’ll find yourselves relaxed and rejuvenated.
A little parting wisdom...
After all of the ceremony, reception, first dance, first kiss, hugs, laughter, and time spent with loved ones is through…
Memories and pictures are all you’ll have to remember your wedding day with.
Make them both count.
