Faroe Islands Destination Elopement

Brooke + Paigemon.

Brooke and I had been gushing over @visitfaroeislands insta-account for years, and when it came time for her and her fiance to choose a place to elope, the answer was clear. We spent five days in the islands exploring as much as we could with all the daylight summer had to offer. Our first stop was on the island of Vagar where we stayed with a wonderful AirBnB host who also owns the only boat on Sørvágsvatn Lake. The day we arrived we checked into his family’s lovely home and hopped on this boat for a tour of the lake, which included a delicious salmon dinner. The plan was to scout the ceremony location and hike back in the next day but the weather had a different plan. We woke up to a torrential downpour but our hosts promised it would clear in the afternoon. Since the trails would be mudslides we hopped back on our host’s boat as the sun broke and traveled along the serene lake to a short hike up to the cliffside ceremony location with a musician in tow. Below you’ll find some (alright… 200+) of my favorite photos from their epic ceremony (which made the news TWICE) and the rest of our time exploring these untouched islands. Take me back.
