Photographers in Seljalandsfoss
The waterfall you can walk behind — a sixty-metre ribbon with a cave path that frames couples against the falling water.
Why Seljalandsfoss for Your Photoshoot
Seljalandsfoss drops sixty metres off an old sea cliff, and its trick is unique on the south coast: a path loops behind the curtain, so you can frame clients in the cave mouth with the water falling between them and the sun. It faces west, which makes late afternoon and sunset the money hours — the low sun burns straight through the falling water. Everyone inside the loop gets wet, full stop: bring rain shells for the clients and keep the second outfit dry in the car, and know that the behind-the-falls path closes in winter when spray turns it to sheet ice. Five minutes' walk north along the cliff hides Gljúfrabúi, a second waterfall tucked inside a slot canyon — wading a shallow stream buys a frame of clients lit by the skylight above, and most visitors never find it. The falls sit right off the Ring Road about an hour and three-quarters from Reykjavík, which makes them the natural first stop of any south-coast day; the car park fee is the only cost. Golden hour plus Gljúfrabúi is the strongest couple session this side of Vík.

Frequently Asked Questions About Photography in Seljalandsfoss
How much does a photoshoot at Seljalandsfoss cost?
Professional photoshoots at Seljalandsfoss start from €279. Packages vary by duration and the number of edited photos — from a short session in front of the falls to a longer shoot that adds the walk behind the curtain and the hidden canyon waterfall Gljúfrabúi a few hundred metres north.
What are the best photo spots at Seljalandsfoss?
The cave path behind the falling water — Seljalandsfoss is one of the few waterfalls you can walk fully behind — the meadow in front for the classic full-height frame, and Gljúfrabúi, the waterfall hidden inside a mossy slot canyon a short walk north, where a shaft of light drops onto the boulder in front of the falls.
What is the best time of day for photos at Seljalandsfoss?
Evening — the falls face west, so the low sun shines straight into the cave behind the water and backlights the whole curtain in gold. In June and July the midnight sun stretches that show for hours. Mornings are quieter but flatter light; in winter the path behind the falls is often closed by ice, so plan the frames from the front.
Can I book a surprise proposal photographer at Seljalandsfoss?
Yes — proposing behind a waterfall, with the evening sun blazing through the curtain of water, is as dramatic as Iceland gets. Your photographer positions inside the cave ahead of you and shoots the question against the light. Bring waterproof layers for the walk behind the falls — the spray is constant — and keep the ring boxed until the moment.
