A wedding day from start to finish
For us, weddings start with preparations and a little "research". We visit the place where you will get married and go through everything that has to do with your day. With the help of this, we keep track of the situation so that we don't miss a single picture from your unforgettable day.
We always work as a couple and cover the wedding from different angles.
Our style has a documentary character with a strong focus on details that tell the story of the day and authentic emotions. We would love to be with you all day and take pictures of all your wonderful moments. The story will then be complete and you will without a doubt appreciate it all the years to come.
Images supplied are most commonly in color. There will also be some images in black and white, depending on where it fits best in our opinion.
Come with us - now we're driving
Preparations
One of our absolute favorite times to be with you. You might wonder why? Well, preparations are probably one of the most nervous moments when the bride and groom are in their respective rooms and getting ready for the first look and then the wedding with the priest/appointed officiant. With all the questions about "How is this going to go", "Am I ready", "Do I have everything figured out?" "Does he have everything under control?", "Has everyone arrived?", "How much time is left?" It tingles in the stomach and the emotions hit the roof, just like going on a first date but several times over.
The photographer is the absolute last person you think of as it means that you are completely natural with your genuine feelings forward. Just then, we sneak around and capture emotions, moments and unforgettable details that tell your beautiful story.
As you may have heard, there are always 2 of us taking pictures, one staying with the bride and another with the groom. Pictures from the preparations are always a big surprise for the bride and groom and are usually appreciated much more than expected.
First Look
"First Look" is when you see each other for the first time and we follow tradition and call it that. You have made yourselves super nice and are ready to meet for the first time. Emotionally, it doesn't get any easier, but it's nice! Tears, love, joy and a little laughter are the emotions we are looking to document.
You don't have to think about how to stand, walk, where to look, and smile or not, we guide you all the way and are there with tips, advice and posing.
We always photograph from two different perspectives, the one standing and waiting and the one walking towards his partner. The story has to be complete, right?!
Wedding
Wedding - a peak of nervousness, certainly it is like that for most people. You stand and stare at the wedding officiant or priest for what feels like almost an hour. All you have to say is "Yes" once. Then it's over, you finally get to breathe and have fun with loved ones.
We always check with the priest or the wedding planner ahead of time about routines and the places you are not allowed to stay in. We would like to go to all the places to get a unique perspective on you.
So that the two of us don't have to run in front and behind you to get a good picture, - one of us always in front of you and another behind.
Risk throwing, Group photos & Portraits
Now that the hard part is behind you, you should go out and be greeted by "risk throwing". But in any case, it's a magical moment that we love to photograph.
After the congratulations, lots of hugs and kisses, it's a good time for group photos with loved ones and with a bridal party - that is, the more involved people around you.
A photographer follows a group each. When we're done it's time for the bride and groom's portrait, then we'll have both of you for half an hour or so.
Mingle
During mingling, it's time to relax properly and talk to loved ones, meet and get to know someone you may not have seen before, eat and drink something really good.
For us, it is a real "doughnut place" where there are nice feelings, details, atmosphere and decoration to photograph as a memory for you. In addition, we can lend you a moment for portrait photography somewhere nice.
Dinner
Just before and during dinner, we love to photograph details such as food, serving, table setting, decor, etc. It's such a visually important part of the story.
In addition to good food and bubbly, the dinner offers some speeches, laughter and tears. It is extremely valuable to see and capture those feelings.
The classic ending is the wedding cake and the first piece for the couple.
Photography at sunset
"Golden Hour"
Magical, soft and flattering light is one reason why as a photographer you must shoot in the "Golden hour". It is called that because: first - a warm light with a golden tone lasts for about an hour, depending on where on earth you are. The Sun passes through much thicker atmosphere than when it is above us, making it golden.
Such light creates soft shadows and transitions on the face and body, making it perfect for elegant portrait photography.
At its best, it is by the water, out in town, in the garden. Actually, as long as you're out, it's already perfect.
First dance
"First dance" or the Bridal Waltz is a well-established tradition for all newlyweds. The waltz is always emotional, dynamic and intimate. The bridal waltz has been considered for many years as a symbol of the bride and groom's first step together into life.
The bridal waltz is usually initiated by the bride and groom in the center of the dance floor surrounded by guests and relatives. Eventually parents and other couples join. It will be a wonderful atmosphere and movement.
It may happen that the bride's bouquet is thrown at people standing behind her. However, this tradition is stronger in other countries than in Sweden.
Short summary
If you've made it all the way here, it should feel a little calmer and clearer. Never forget that you are with someone who has been to weddings several times and is there for you before and during the big day. We plan each wedding with an individual approach.
Your wedding isa huge responsibility and we take welcome that.
