About Seljalandsfoss
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.

Top Photo Spots in Seljalandsfoss
The most photogenic locations for your Seljalandsfoss photoshoot
Behind the curtain — the path under Seljalandsfoss
The only big Icelandic waterfall you can walk right around: from the recess behind it, the falling water becomes a lit screen with the valley showing through.
Best time: Evening — west-facing, so late sun comes through the water; near midnight in June
Everything gets soaked: waterproofs, grippy flat shoes, change of clothes after. In winter the path behind is often closed — check before planning the shot.
Gljúfrabúi, the hidden falls behind the cleft
Six hundred metres north, a waterfall hides inside a cliff: you wade a shallow stream through a slot in the rock and it opens into a mossy chamber lit from above.
Best time: Bright days for visible light beams; early or late for an empty chamber
Wet feet are unavoidable — bring boots and dry shoes for after. The chamber holds about a dozen people: work fast and let others through.
The meadow path between the two falls
The flat grass strip along the cliff base linking Seljalandsfoss and Gljúfrabúi — small falls the whole way, and the midnight sun running along the wall.
Best time: Evening, when the low sun rakes along the west-facing cliff; near midnight in June
Use a longer lens along the cliff to stack the small falls one behind another. This is the sheltered fallback when the open coast is too windy.
Nauthúsagil, the slot gorge with the rowan tree
Nine kilometres inland: a stream-bed scramble into a mossy crack in the mountain, ending at a small waterfall with a rowan growing out of the rock.
Best time: June to September, when the moss is greenest; midday light reaches the gorge floor
It is a chained stream-bed scramble, twenty minutes each way — boots, not dress shoes. Skip it after heavy rain and in winter ice.
Frequently asked questions
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.
How far in advance should we book our Iceland wedding photographer?
For summer dates (June-August) and the aurora-season Saturdays, 6-12 months ahead is realistic — Iceland's wedding photographer pool is small and destination couples book early. Shoulder-season and weekday weddings often find excellent availability at 2-3 months. Book the photographer as early as the venue: in a wedding here, the images are arguably the point — most couples choose Iceland precisely for how it will look. When you enquire, share your date, venue or region, and rough guest count; you'll get portfolios matched to your kind of wedding rather than a generic list.
How many hours of wedding coverage do we need?
Icelandic weddings usually need less ballroom time and more road time than weddings elsewhere. A typical intimate wedding books 6-8 hours: preparations, ceremony, family groups, then a generous portrait block that may involve driving to a waterfall or beach — that drive is where Iceland earns its keep, so don't squeeze it. Large hotel weddings with evening parties run to 10-12 hours or a second shooter. And consider the local trick: a shorter wedding-day coverage plus a separate day-after session in full wedding wear at the landscape locations. It costs less than extending the day and delivers the epic frames without stealing you from your own party.
