Soon to be married...


Mia and i met this beautifull bride-to-be this weekend at a central hotel in Stockholm and photographed her for her "morgongåva" album, which will be offered to the lucky bridegroom the morning after the wedding day, approximately in a month's time.


A trend that has been going on for many years in the USA under the name "boudoir photos", has also become very common in Sweden the last two years.

More soon-to-be brides are asking for it and many of them choose one of the best hotels in town to treat their selves in luxury and elegance.

( More photos are coming after the wedding day! )

Jessica "trashes her dress"!





Jessica came to Stockholm all the way from Gävle this Monday afternoon, just to trash the wedding dress.

You certenly know that this is the last trend on wedding photography, don't you? :-)
If not, then have a look here!

Unfortunately the weather was not the best possible but that did not keep her from jumping in the water. 

We photographed for about 2 hours and it was many passers-by that stopped to have a look, at the Haga park at Frescati.

After the session we continued to a nearby coffee shop with warm coffee and tea ...

(more photos are coming!)

The monk's cellar!


If you happen to visit Visby, at the island of Gotland, in Sweden, and you pass by this sign, don't think twice! Go inside!

It's name has actually nothing to do with it's status today:
Three dance floors, balconies and terracies, bars and restaurants, everything housed in an old building under the same "roof".

Not much in common with it's past ... :-)

Destination Gotland !!!




It feels sooo good!

Today i am traveling to Gotland to meet Elisabeth and Andreas! 

The weather is beautiful, it is warm and sunny, i have a friend as company and assistance at the session tommorow and the mood is at it's best.

This evening we are invited at the BBQ party that the couple is offering to its guests. Tommorow is the wedding and on Sunday  is sightseeing in Visby and eventually a "Trash the Dress" session (if the couple has the courage after the party with the guests the night before)!

To be honest i feel a little guilty having this sort "holiday" because i have not blogged for a while and it is so much work waiting... 
4 beautiful couples that got married the last weeks, the huge wedding material from the indian wedding, a really clashy wedding at the Hallwylska Museum following with a reception at Grand Hotel, a "Trash the Dress" and a "morgongåva"/boudoir session.

Pheeeww! I need vacation!!!

Chilling out with tennis!



After the last two weeks' intensiv work it felt just so natural to chill out a little from photographing commissioned sessions.

I met with my friend Jannis,  also a photographer, and together we spent many hours photographing the tennis finals at the "Nordic Light Open" tournament, in Stockholm.

Since my equipment, and especially the zoom lens, are not really the best for this sort of pictures, i just "played" with the camera in case i should be lucky to get a nice picture. Then, i continued playing with the photos in Photoshop! :-)

" I don't know how to pose! "


Ulrika and Peter are getting married this Saturday. They will get married on board, on the boat that will carry them and their guests from Stockholm to Dalarö, a beautiful island at the swedish archipelago.


I had met the couple some weeks ago to discuss about their wedding photography and we met again this afternoon to take some pictures and get to know itsother a little bit.

Both of them claimed that it did not really feel so comfortable to hug each other and express feelings in front of other people. They were rather shy and those moments were too intimate... Oh, yes! They also did not know how they should pose for the photos!

When i tried to start photographing Ulrika, she just raised her arms laughing "... but i don't know how to pooose!"

A bride with attitude!



Beautiful Elena and Soleil got married yesterday at the Ulriksdals Slott, under heavy rain!





The ceremony took just a few minutes and the pooring rain did not manage to spoil the hapiness and the joy of the newly weds.






The brides wedding dress was marvelous and the red stripes on her white shoes was a colourful contradiction to the mood of the weather!
