Lisa and Magnus are now married!

Saturday was a fabulously warm and shiny day, almost like a couple of weeks ago, when i met the couple to plan the photos of their wedding day (the difference was the clear sky compared to some beautiful clouds the previous time)!










This day Lisa and Magnus chose to get married to celebrate being together for the last ... 10 years! :-)




They got married at the Sjöstadskapellet in Hamarby, Stockholm and they shared their joy with their son and lots of relatives and friends.



After the wedding ceremony the couple with their guests got on board to be carried to the"J" hotel at Nacka, where the reception was held.

Mother's day!

"Mamma, we love you! Congratulations for the mother's day!
Gabriel, Carl and Giorgos"

( Xronia Polla, mama! S' agapaw poly, kai mou leipeis! Giorgos )

Congratulations to all the mothers in the world!
You are all so special to us, your children!

Lisa och Magnus

Yesterday it was a fantastic summer day! 

Stockholm reminded more of a Mediterranean city than one at the north of the world!


Under a shining sun i met Lisa and Magnus at the Sjöstad, where they are going to get married in a couple of weeks.




We walked around and took some pictures among dozens of people that where laying everywhere around us, working on their suntun!



Lisa and Magnus where both wonderful, relaxed and ... deep in love! :-)

SFF convention 2009!

Yesterday we met with some 300 other fellow photographers to get inspiration, get information from the counsil of SFF (Association of Swedish Photographers) about the previous year, vote for the new counsil and listen about the future of the proffesion.

The meeting took place at Fjärilhuset, in Hagaparken in Stockholm och we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful weather!

To protect our eyes from the strong sunlight we used (uggly) sunglasses that SFF offered to every attendant.

Apart from meeting other colleagues, after the work it was time for party!

Fourteen girls, the PomPeriPossa Band, took care of it and dragged everybody to the danse floor!

Beatrice and Christoffer

The day was just beautiful yesterday and found me photographing at the Bromma kyrka, which is not only very picturesque but it is also one of the oldest in Stockholm, from aprox. 1160 aC  (it was built as a tower to protect the city).

Both Beatrice and Christoffer were stressed before the ceremony. They met first time in the church and was a joy to see the expressions changing on the face of the bridegroom, when he got the first glimpse of the bride!

After the ceremony, the newwde couple with their guests went to the Ängby slott where the reception was held.

Today it's the Orthodox Good Friday".

Today it is the Good Friday for the Orthodox christians.

It's these days that i really miss being in Greece, to celebrate the Easter at the Holy mount Athos!

The picture above is from that place during a visit there two years ago.

If you wonder why is the Easter celebrated sometimes the same day but most often during different days at the Orthodox and the Catholic churches check here (unfortunately everuthing is only in ... greek).

Some etymology about the name of the day can be found here.

Listen to the hymn of the day here!

Five days festivities for Indian wedding!!!

Yesterday i had the pleasure to meet Fatima and Salim in Stockholm.

Fatima was born and lives in Stockholm while Salim was born and lives in England. Both of them have roots in India and their wedding is going to be according to the Indian traditions, here in Stockholm.

Well, the traditions are many and that's why the wedding will take five whole days, this summer, with one day dedicated just to the reception!

I met Salim for the first time yesterday while in a short visit in Sweden. We spent only some minutes for taking pictures (it was really cold after the sunset) but that was quite enough to see how much they love eachother and how easy going and happy persons they both are!

I am really looking forward to their wedding days (as much as they are)! :-)

Keep an eye on this page, it's gonna be full coverage of this fabulous wedding!

The spring has arrived!

Yesterday i was at Kungsträdgården to meet a couple that is going to get married in July.



The weather was wonderful, the sun was shining and there were hundrets of people lying under the sun, enjoying their koffee or ice-cream.



But the most amazing was the colours of the flowers! The beauty of the nature waking up, pictured on the faces of the younger generation!

Photos for the new homepage of the library of Stockholms University.

Finally we are ready with the photos from the Library of the University of Stockholm!

It has taken us quite a few visits there to photograph as much as possible, while trying to be as unnoticed as possible. It's not so polite to disturb all those students reading there ...

Finally the photos are ready and have been loaded at the website of the institution of chemistry of the University of Stockholm.
