When I woke up on Saturday morning it was raining cats and dogs outside. However, as the clock turned wedding time the sun showed up and we got terrific weather for Kajsa and Martin’s outside wedding ceremony. They said yes to each other in beautiful Djursholm together with family and friends. It was my first...
This is not really flattering, but what the heck: That’s what I look like when shooting a wedding. Yes, I do look ridiculous. But that’s just the way it is. All for art. Photo by Catharina Lassas.
Remember how I wrote I’d tell you more about why I’m writing in English nowadays? I will do that in detail very soon. For now I’ll just leave you with this awesome song by Milow. The lyrics go something like this: “I’m gonna move to Canada, Yeah I’ve made up my mind, Leave everything behind,...
I used to have a website with pictures and facts about me and my photography, sort of a portfolio site. I don’t anymore. I decided that instead of having two separate websites, I might just as well keep it all in here. So if you type www.jakobgranqvist.com into your browser, you’ll end up here anyway....
It started with pouring rain, but ended up being a great and sunny day. Here’s a couple of sneak peaks of what’s to come. And there’s a lot more.
One of the best ways to view your photos is by making a photobook. Looking at the pictures in a hardback is awesome and definately a million times better than viewing them on a tiny laptop screen. I made this one for the Gustavsson family after our photo session a couple of months back and...
I check many, many wedding and photography related websites every day. There are so many talented and creative photographers out there. For you photographers not using Twitter (this is me on Twitter by the way) yet, you should look into it right away. It’s a great way to get inspiration from around the world. Anyway,...
This Saturday I’m shooting Kajsa and Martin’s wedding. They are having a garden wedding and the ceremony will be held at Martin’s parents’ house in wonderful Djursholm. It’s a beautiful garden and I have a feeling it’s going to be a swell wedding. It’s my first garden wedding, so I’m really looking forward to it....
If you followed my old blog you probably remember that I was going to sell my Nikon D80, after getting a D300 and a D700 for my camera bag. Well, I decided not to, since it was my first digital SLR. However, A couple of months ago I moved in to my brother’s old apartment...
Another friends-of-mine-wedding is coming up early october, and I have the great honour of being Sanna and Jan’s photographer. They are awesome people and make a great couple. Just look at these pictures we took wandering around looking for photo spots for their big day. October third will be super.
This year’s summer vacation felt long. For four weeks I’ve been staying at my parents’ house in Finland and it’s been very relaxing. Sleeping late in the mornings, sunbathing all day long, chilling at our summerhouse with whodunit books, spending time with family and friends. Etcetera. But (yeah, there’s always a but), I missed my apartment,...
The eight of August, two thousand and nine. One of the warmest, sunniest and best days of the year. I had a blast on Mikaela and Lauri’s big day, and I think every single wedding guest would agree with me (some even had so much fun they stayed to early morning…myself included). I met up...
So, tomorrow these two are getting married. It’ll be great. Hopefully I’ll have time to get the pictures up on the blog early next week. Maybe a sneak peak already on Sunday, we’ll see. Have a great weekend!
These cute Tilda dolls are custom-made by my mom. She sits for hours making them all into individual creatures. If you’d like to have one, they’re availible for 50 euros. (Yeah, she forced me to write this post. Threatened me with a huge kitchen knife… no, she didn’t. I really like ‘em. Especially the roosters.)...
There’s one thing I hate more than having a cold. That’s having a cold when you’re on holiday and the weather is perfect outside. Well, at least I have time to go through pictures and work on the blog. And to take pictures of cough medicine in the grass.
She’s a doctor, he’s an engineer. They’ve got three great kids, two of which are already fluent in english (Judith and Eric, 8 and 10 years old, respectively) and a two-year old who speaks a mix of filippinian, mandarin, swedish and english. They’ve spent the last two years in one of China’s and the world’s...
In 1991 me and my family went to a photography studio to get family portraits. I was 7 (or 8) years old and at that point we all still lived ‘at home’. So this summer, as we were gathered again (doesn’t happen too often these days since we live in different parts of the world)...
I had some 550 posts on my old blog. So when I started fresh on this one, I considered whether to import all of the posts or just leave them behind. I chose the latter, mainly because my old blog didn’t really have any structure and importing just would have been one big mess. However,...
