After an 18-month engagement, Cassidy and Hannah traveled from their home in West Hartford, Connecticut, to Iceland for an epic elopement. Their photographer Allie Dearie captured images of their love while the couple spent time together under massive cascading waterfalls and on the dark and moody beach.
“We are adventurers at heart,” says Cassidy. “Traveling, exploring, experiencing are the things that keep our hearts beating. For that reason, we didn’t want a classic wedding, but one that embodies those three things.”
