Ice Hotel storybook wedding album pictures by Reel Life Photos
Zoe approached me early in 2009 to see if I was up for photographing another wedding in the Ice Hotel at Jukkasjärvi in Sweden – on 28 December 2010 – after finding my original Blog post for Colin and Sarah’s wedding that I covered in 2007. Apparently I appeared so enthusiastic with my ideas that she was completely bowled over so coupled with the fact that we don’t charge for travel – just accommodation – and was happy to throw in her planned UK reception in Bath too – she quickly decided that we were the right wedding photographers for their special wedding. This is the resulting Italian made storybook wedding album – which I’ve just finished designing for them. I also had to squeeze in all their UK reception – AND church wedding blessing (yes – it was like a full-blown second wedding!) into this same album but think it will look better in a separate wedding blog post at least…if not in a second album! xx Elaine

This monumental snow arch is an engineering feat in itself, but today marks the start of Zoe & Steve's new life together

Soft light glows throughout, bringing the ice sculptures to life, echoing the couple's solemn vows, in harmony with the world.

Just love the sheen on the clear ice, as it reflects the coloured light. Perfect for wedding pictures! The guys look great in uniform too!
On the left there is a sequence of photos where everyone was throwing snowballs at Zoe & Steve. Love their expressions!

Even the blue colour makes me feel cold, but the atmosphere is electric!
The image on the bottom left with the green sky shows the fleeting Northern Lights – The Aurora Borealis – which we were lucky enough to see between taking wedding photos inside the Ice Hotel! Magic! xx
