Im back to tell the of the Ice Hotel , north of the artic circle in Kiruna Northern Sweden . The destination wedding for a Scottish couple was held in early January , the Ice Hotel must be the ultimate place for a winter wedding. I prepared for everything like usual … but nothing can prepare you for minus 32 , it made the problem of only having daylight for less than an hour very easy. I knew it was cold when I saw the huskies shivering ! … the photo very below of my eyebrow and eyelash was from being outside for just 5 minutes , I came back with frostbite of the index finger my left hand thumb and the tip of my nose from pressing against the D3 . Dont feel sorry for me though Sam the bride just had her wedding dress and I had 5 layers of clothes on with two pairs of gloves . Inside the church the temperature a cosy minus 20 and the hotel itself a warm minus 10 .

Your third last shot is amazing … a true work of art. Love your sense of humor clarifying that you were the photo on the left.
What a refreshing antithesis to sunny tropical wedding photography! I especially love the empty chapel during the ceremony; apparently their friends and family would have preferred having the wedding in the tropics….
I can clearly understand why you are the best of the best … to be a part of this magnificent portfolio of the top photographers in the world. Such amazing imagery … but not only that … you went with the flow … in the coldest place on earth with no complaints … even after some frost bite. You rock! Your are exceptional! Don’t ever stop posting.
I would love to photograph here! These are great!
Absolutely outstanding and inspiring work, Ian. I look so forward to seeing more of your work.
Awesome imagery. You are really a trooper in those -32 temperatures.
Man, did you ever capture the moment two-fold, three-fold, etc. Brilliant photography.
Simply awesome!
The ice blue you captured is mesmerizing. I could view these photos forever.
Ian … outstanding and phenomenal photography. Kudos to you!
A stunning collection of wedding but they are more colorful and modernized.Thanks
A true work of art of a great photographer, trudging through the snow and cold. These shots are spectacular.
Wow! Outstanding and fabulous imagery! You really rock.
Sensational photos. Such extreme weather conditions … yet you managed to put together such brilliant work. Very, very nice.
Magnificent and splendid photography. This really appeals to me as an artist as well … no matter how harsh the conditions may be, you manage to capture exceptional images. I am right behind you all the way. Looking forward to much more soon.
Wow, what a cool wedding! Pun intended! Looks so cold though. Nice photos.
That first image should win an award. I keep coming back to your blog and it is like new imagery over and over again. Fantastic photography — don’t ever stop.
Stunning location for a wedding, and beautiful images to do it justice!
