Blog
2010 has ended and I have had a great year with ONLY fantastic wedding couples to photograph! Now I look forward to a new year full of new opportunities and great experiences and I hope you will be part of my 2011 here on my blog - as a client or by posting a lot of comments! But, before I can share my first 2011 wedding pictures with you I want to celebrate all of my 2010 clients with a massive blog post in three parts and here is the first one. Enjoy!
I shoot a lot of boudoir sessions and I love it, but I can't post boudoir photos here on the blog that often. Why? Because of their private nature of course and the fact that most clients want to keep their photos private. Today though, this gorgeous lady told me I could show you some of her photos from her session some time ago. She was very nervous when we met but her presence in front of the camera was something special, she literally transformed and turned into what you can see here. She is great and so could you be - you don't need a special reason to book a boudoir sesssion, you can do it for your own sake!
I had a full day yesterday but I have been asked not to post any wedding portraits so I won't. But, I can post a few details from my first wedding at Vaxholm's church, beautifully lit with candles which created the perfect setting for this very rainy wedding day! Many congratulations to all brides and grooms that married yesterday!
I also want to say that I have had a fantastic wedding season summer 2010 with soooooo many great weddings! But, now it's finally time to get some rest and as from today I will take two weeks off. So if you call or e-mail me during that time I might not be that quick to get back to you! The blog will however not be completely abandoned so check it as usual and you will find new posts now and then.
Yesterday I headed to Rånäs slott, confident that it's a place for great weddings and great wedding couples! And, I was right! Again, I remembered that this bride to be had told me earlier she never ever looks good at photos. But such comments only makes it even more fun to shoot because I know that all my brides - and this isn't just a saying, I assure you! - will look gorgeous! A perfect dress, nice hair and a lovely birdcage did a lot for her looks but the most important ingredient to become this stunning was of course her love for Sam and having all of their families and friends with them on their wedding day!
And what about the groom? Well, he was cool, relaxed and had some amazing details to lay your eyes on as well.
As always I had a great assistant with me, this time it was Özgür Engüzel who helped me carry all my equipment, parked my car and acted like my third (and fourth) hand throughout the day. Thanks!
A couple of days ago I posted photos from Alexandra's and Joacim's very intimate wedding at Arlanda and I really thought that was it. But, while going through all of their photos and preparing their client gallery I realized I just have to share a few more! Alexandra and Joacim have asked for a majority of photos in b/w, which reflects also on this post. The ceremony took place in the VIP area at Arlanda airport and I was honored to be one of the two witnesses required by law.
As I told you in my earlier post Alexandra hadn't seen neither the wedding rings nor the flowers before the wedding. Guess if she loved to see the bling for the first time!
Having a wedding photo session in a crowded public area is special, the bride and groom just have to enjoy the cheering and congratulations from people passing by!
I think an airport wedding could have a very romantic feeling and that certainly was the case when Alexandra and Joacim got married at Arlanda. Tomorrow morning, or actually later today (the time is past midnight), they will take off for a flight to paradise and their private time when they became husband and wife couldn't have been more perfect! Alexandra's beautiful dress is from KIK Stockholm and, believe it or not, her wedding rings were chosen by Joacim and she hadn't even seen them before the wedding! I have to say that her beloved has excellent taste!
The photo below is from the moment when they saw each other for the first time on their wedding day, so sweet!
I hope Sarah's and Olle's first weeks as husband and wife have been just as perfect as their wedding day! Now they can use the secret code to log in and see their private photo gallery with hundred of portraits!
A couple of month ago I met with this couple for a very private photo session when they were expecting their child. Today I know it was a cute little baby boy and I am soooo happy they let me show their photo here on my combined blog and web site.
Photographers note: I used only natural light from the windows using Canon 5D MarkII with lenses Canon 50mm f1.4 and Canon 135 mm f2.0L.
This Saturday a year ago was a perfect spring day for a wedding, and what a wedding it was when this gorgeous couple got hitched at Såstaholm Gård in Täby, Stockholm! Happy anniversary!
Photographers note: The effect was created by using a Lens Baby on my Canon 5D MarkII body. Only colours, levels and contrasts have been altered in Photoshop.
I frequently get questions by e-mail about my work and some of you ask me if you can come along during a real wedding. My answer to that is yes, most of the times I do have an assistant with me but because I need some consistency I cannot say yes to everyone but have to stick to a few persons each wedding season. But, I think now is a good time to get to know some new, fantastic, photography loving people! So, if you want to join me at a wedding this summer, tell me why you looooove to do wedding photography (or, if you haven't done it yet, why you think you'll love it) and why I should bring you along! Afterwards we can have a cup of tea and talk about the post processing if you want to!
So, why don't you write your comments here on the blog, send me an e-mail or tell me on your own blog or website - in that case, link to this blog post and let me know by making a note in the comment field (of course both English and Swedish will work just fine). I will announce here on my blog who is the lucky one and then we pick a date and occasion that suits us both. Come on, tell me!
