I was contacted by Nick on very short notice as he was looking for someone to capture his secret marriage proposal here in Iceland. His idea was kneeling at the diamond beach with a sunset behind him. Once I heard his idea, I had to be honest with him during our initial video call and prepare him for a more common scenario - Him half wet from rain, kneeling withstanding the cold gusts, and witnessing the true Icelandic darkness.

During our second call, we had easy going discussion to find out the plan for the upcoming secret marriage proposal for Nick. As we went deep into the planning, several potential options had emerged, and we had chosen the most optimal ones for both of us. I needed flexibility and majestic surroundings and Nick relative privacy - the Diamond Beach was our final pick.

Luckily enough, as I was arriving at Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach, the sun actually peeked out and sent us some of its last amber rays of sunshine for that day. I was positively challenged with many different light conditions, ranging from super bright sunset laser beams to very blue darkness full of icy tones after the sunset. After the Proposal, I was introduced to his just-proposed fiancée, Makayla. We have then decided to continue alongside the Jökulsárlón coast to take some more pictures from this amazing location.
