Kick off at Solliden.

Last Friday "Svenska Interpress" had it's annual "kick off" at Skansen in Stockholm.

Solliden was booked for the evening and what a beautiful place it was! Not to mention the view from there, especially when it started getting dark...

The company's CEO Peter Fagerström opened the evening ...

... and talked about the year that had gone and the plans for the new year.

The world finansial crisis and its influense on Interpress was also mentioned! :-)

The evening continued with dinner and entertainment...

... until early in the morning!

The Nobel Banquet 2008 at the Stockholm City Hall.

As we wrote in our blog in December (have a look here and here), we were privileged to be asked to photograph the Nobel Banquet in Stockholm.

The experience was awesome, the photos became really nice, the people who contacted us from the Nobel Foundation were happy with them and we had had a really joyful evening.

Well, it doesn't happen every day to be able to talk to and photograph the royal family, top names from the political and financial life of the state, plus so many academics and Nobel Laureates, all at the same place in the same evening!

We were planning to show some of the photos that we took during that evening, here in our blogsite, with the kind permition of the Nobel Foundation, because it is the Foundation that owns the copyright of the pictures (as part of our agreement).

Some of the pictures though have been actually added at the official site of the Nobel Foundation itself.
Feel free to visit it and have a look at them by clicking here!

Beautiful photos!

Some time ago i was contacted by this young lady to photograph her wedding. She was also interested in a session to give a photo album as a morgongåva to her husband, the morning after their wedding day. We met at their home (as the bride-to-be wished) and photographed one evening.

Yesterday we received an email by the now married lady where, except from thanking us for the nice pictures from the wedding day, she also mentions "... (brudgummen) blev alldeles rörd av bilderna han fick i morgongåva. Han sa att han känner sig enormt hedrad över att få så vackra bilder! ..." (transl: "...the bridegroom was totally touched from the photos that he got as a present. He said he felt extremely honoured by receiving such beautiful pictures!")

It's this kind of emails that really make our day! :-)

Ulrika's gift.

In the end of December i met Ulrika, who wanted to be photographed while pregnant,  to give the pictures  to her Alex as a present.

The day that she was going to give birth was estimated as in the same week that Alex would have his birthday! This in combination with the fact that the baby is their first made her to decide for a special birhday present. 

Ulrika wanted to be photographed at her (their) home and wanted the pictures to have a taste of "studio / fashion" photography.

ps: special thanks to Ozzy, who posed with Ulrika and was so kind and quite!

pps: all the above pictures are shown with Ulrika's kind permition.

Love is in the air!

This weekend we exhibited at the wedding fair in Grand Hotel in Stockholm.



It was the third year that we took part there and by far the most successful. We met a lot of couples that came to see our work and talk with us, we met other colleagues photographers and made contacts with other professionals who work with weddings.

We offered again this year the little "bonbonniere" that has been so much appreciated the previous years.
Each one of them contains 5-6 sweet candies. Just to get an idea about the number of our visitors, we used 9 whole kilos of them!!!


Jonas and Oksana (from "Let's Dance") gave their proposition as how the new wed couples should dance their first dance as married couple...



... and "Chokladhuset" from Nynäshamn had the longest queue of those waiting to taste the delicasies of the house!


We must command also the wonderful voice of Therese Knutsson, who sang love songs in the same way as when she sings inthe church, during the wedding ceremonies.


Finally, the last photo is from Lisa and Fredrik, a very sweet couple that a couple of minutes before the end of the fair, on Sunday, were trying to take a self-portrait picture of themselves with the camera of their mobile phone. I gave them a helping hand and used our camera instead...

Thanks to everybody who met us there and especially to the 64 couples that left their contact information to us to contact them for their wedding day's photography!
