September in Aurland is a magical time for a destination wedding, with the summer crowds starting to thin and the region’s natural beauty transitioning into autumn. The weather is crisp and refreshing, with temperatures ranging from 8°C to 16°C (46°F to 61°F), ideal for outdoor ceremonies with a cozy atmosphere. The vibrant fall colors begin to appear, adding rich golden and red tones to the stunning fjord and mountain landscapes, making for a breathtaking backdrop.
With shorter days and the sun setting around 7:30 PM, you can enjoy an intimate evening celebration under the soft glow of twilight. Aurland’s peaceful atmosphere in September provides a sense of seclusion, perfect for couples seeking an intimate and unique wedding experience. The mild weather allows for outdoor activities like fjord cruises, hiking, and photography in the picturesque surroundings.

The Destination Wedding Experience
Karissa & Andrew flew in from Pennsylvania, USA. They got married on a sunny Sunday afternoon that marked their 10 year anniversary of being together.
The day started at Eva’s salon for hair and makeup followed by the ceremony at one of our private fjord venues. A few tears were shed as friends and family watched the beautiful couple say I do. With the fjord and mountains behind them, the bride and groom confirmed their commitment to each other with a traditional handfasting ceremony. Next, a toast with linked arms, wedding cake sliced with a sword and a delicious fjord charcuterie BBQ lunch.
After lunch Karissa & Andrew went on an SUV photoshoot adventure. They took beautiful pictures in green fields, mountaintops and Stegastein viewpoint.
The day ended with friends and family at Bell farm where they enjoyed an outdoor fjord romantic dinner & fire experience and a magical sunset photoshoot.
Additional Wedding Experiences
This couple added drone video and simple video clips allowing them to get good video content for a low price. They did not add professional video editing and chose to make their own wedding film.
Having loved the photos they received, they chose to purchase all of the images. They now have perfectly preserved memories of their wedding to enjoy in the years to come.
Destination Wedding Accommodation
We arranged their stay at our partner Flåmsbrygga Hotel in Flåm.
“The most perfect, stress-free day. For anyone seeking a truly unique and unforgettable experience, I cannot recommend Fjord Weddings & Elopements highly enough.”
— Karissa
