Jess and I didn't quite know what we were getting into when we booked a flight to Iceland a year ago. We checked the weather every day for over a week, invested in some new hiking boots, and tried to be prepared for anything. And although we met some rough weather along the way, Iceland's moody beauty was evident as soon as we got off the plane. Everywhere we looked the landscapes continued to amaze. The stormy weather played dramatically through our lenses, and we found Iceland to be just as magical as everyone says. We miss it already and can't wait to go back... More photos here. Watch the video documentary here.
