Þórufoss waterfall engagement

This engagement photoshoot was at Þórufoss waterfall located only 30 minutes away from Reykjavik. Tucked away in the Þjórsárdalur Valley, this stunning waterfall is a perfect blend of dramatic landscape, tranquility, and seclusion—ideal for couples looking for an intimate and breathtaking backdrop for their engagement session. This waterfall was also featured in the hit series Game of Thrones, where it was used as a backdrop for some of the show's iconic scenes. If you're a fan of the series, it adds an extra layer of excitement to your engagement session, knowing you're capturing moments in such a legendary location. Despite being a part of the touristy Golden Circle this location isn’t as crowded as other spots, sometimes you can be there completely alone! It looks especially stunning on a sunny day when the sun is directly behind the waterfall.

The gentle flow of the waterfall, combined with the surrounding natural landscape, makes it easy to create a variety of shots. From wide-angle photos of you both standing against the waterfall, to more intimate close-ups, the options are endless.

Most engagement photoshoots are done at eye level, but drone photography opens up entirely new possibilities for perspective. It allows for shots that would be impossible to achieve otherwise, capturing the full drama of the scene in a way that feels both cinematic and intimate.

If you're ready to plan your engagement photoshoot at Þórufoss, I’d love to help you create a day you’ll never forget. From the moment you step into the Þjórsárdalur Valley to the final shot at the falls, we’ll work together to make your love story come alive in the stunning landscape of Iceland.
