I am based in Sydney, but also travel worldwide.
My aim is to be in the moment and capture love stories artfully and intentionally. Preserving emotions & focusing on the mood and feel.
You can check out more about my why here.
Today I am sharing with you some images that I shot with this dreamy couple in this Icelandic cave recently. Abril and Carlos did a such amazing job braving the cold in the Icelandic wind, showcasing their sparks in the most magical way. I could deeply feel the chemistry between them, even when I was standing afar. I seriously could not stop staring at these images myself as I loved them so much.
It’s definitely a dream come true to be able to do photoshoots in Iceland. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity and how this photography journey has taken me. Not to mention that I got to leave my kids and husband in London, road tripping with other talented creatives, immersing ourselves in what Icelandic nature provides. Just living our best lives, really!
If you always have an inner voice telling you to go somewhere, then this is your sign to manifest your dream!
I feel so privileged to spend some time with an incredible team in Iceland to create some magic and crossed off my bucket list! Everything that Stay Co styled was just effortless for the theme, which I’ve learned more about working with a bigger team.
Here’s a little background story about this cave shoot for you. While we were in Icelandic summer, the sun wasn’t down till midnight.(crazy, I know!) So we decided to shoot the entire editorial inside this cave Gígjagjá to avoid the harsh light. (also known as Yoda cave if you are interested to know.) Oh dear, how dramatic is this light projecting into the cave like a natural spotlight?! I seriously love the vibe this light created, so theatrical. Love everything about it!
I hope you like these photos and let me know what you think in the comment below! I also created a reel video of this shoot if you are interested. I also posted a few BTS and stories about my trip in Iceland so don’t forget to follow me on Instagram to see what I am up to!
Hopefully to share with you my other shoots in Iceland soon and thanks for reading/stopping by!
Ciao ciao for now!!
Stay manifesting your dreams,
Aka xx
