Chris Ray Photos

Hi, I'm Chris, an award-winning elopement photographer based in Iceland. I help intentional couples craft and capture deeply personal elopement experiences in the wild beauty of Iceland — offering not just photography, but heartfelt guidance, local insight, and unwavering support so that they can fully focus on their connection with each other and nature on their most special day.  My photography style is visual storytelling without forced poses — just real stories and real emotion. I will give you directions and prompts to help you feel relaxed, connected, and completely forget that you are in front of a camera. I will be your guide to the most unique hidden gems (some of them you won’t find even on Google maps) for your intimate elopement ceremony where you can say your vows without an audience — just nature and space to be fully present. I will also craft a custom timeline, share local tips, suggest amazing vendors, and help shape a day that feels effortless, meaningful, and entirely yours.

Let's make your dreams a reality and go on this adventure of a lifetime you will never forget!

What Couples Are Saying

Read reviews from couples who’ve worked with this photographer and shared their elopement experience.

Chris absolutely blew us away with the incredible experience she gave us. When we forgot a tie, she didn’t hesitate to offer one for the suit, which was so helpful because we didn’t have to stress about buying one last minute. She took us to the most breathtaking waterfall for our elopement ceremony, and every moment felt special thanks to her being so fun and caring.
Chris truly loves what she does. You can see it in how dedicated she was to capturing the perfect light and the most beautiful shots. She never rushed and made the entire experience so enjoyable.
When we received our photos, we instantly fell in love! Chris has to be one of the most skilled photographers I’ve ever seen, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer.

Andrea Knauff and Leif Huender
Chris is not only an AMAZING photographer but she is also such a kind and a caring person! I had a little issue with my lehenga (a heavy indian dress) before the shoot began and Chris drove us somewhere far to get safety pins to quickly fix the issue. I was so stressed out but Chris made everything so much easier and quickly changed the day (which would have been a disaster and impossible without her). She absolutely went above and beyond her role and helped me fix the issue with my dress. She was a designer, a therapist, a friend and a photographer that day for me.

Ashmeen Bindra and Jeeven
From our very first conversations, her sincerity and kindness stood out, and it was clear she was genuinely invested in every aspect of our experience, far beyond the act of capturing photographs.”

We were initially somewhat nervous, having never done anything like it before, but from the moment we met Chris, all of that dissipated. Her professionalism, calm presence, and artistic vision allowed us to be completely present with each other, in the moment, and fully trust the process.
Despite the unpredictable Icelandic weather — wind, rain, and everything in between, she was both able to adapt and also embrace it boldly, turning it into something raw, emotional, and breathtaking.
For the rest of our lives, we will look back at our photos with complete joy and awe. We are endlessly grateful for the way she captured our story turning moments into memories we will cherish forever.
