Wedding photographer - Vancouver | Bröllopsfotograf - Stockholm » bröllopsfoto

Work hard and be nice to people

För några veckor sen var jag på min första workshop. Min första workshop om bröllopsfoto alltså.

Dallas-baserade fotografen Erik Clausen (aka Poser) höll en tvådagarsshop i Vancouver tillsammans med gode vännen, Seattle-baserade Sean Flanigan.

Den som sysslar med bröllop eller bröllopsfotografering har antagligen stött på namnen; Erik och Sean är bröllopsfotografins crème de la crèm.

Tillsammans med ett tiotal andra fotografer från runt om i Nordamerika passade jag på att snappa upp en hel del tips och tricks från de två talangfulla och inspirerande herrarna.

Det som dock slog mej mest var hur ödmjuka, trevliga och sköna killar de är. Alla fyra fötterna på jorden och inga tillstymmelser till egon.

Vanliga killar som älskar det de sysslar med, helt enkelt.

Gansk uppfriskande faktiskt, speciellt när det handlar om kreatörer.

Kind words

On a photo shoot – a wedding for example – I try to make the photos my own, bringing my style into the pictures. I’m going for the clean, sharp and creative photos that I like. But since I’m shooting on behalf of my clients, in the end of the day the most important thing is that they’re satisfied with the results.

That’s why stuff like this (the bride) and this (the mother of the bride) makes me so happy (sorry international readers, both links are in swedish). I’m not trying to brag here or anything, but this is really what I think is most rewarding with wedding photography – that people actaully enjoy looking at the photos. Thanks you two for the kind words, they made my day. :-)

And because every post is better with a picture, here’s the beautiful bride and the handsome groom once again:

Wedding | Jessica & Karl | Part 1

There was a blanket of fog over Stockholm as I got ready for Jessica and Karl’s wedding this Saturday morning. But as we – a couple of hours later – got out of beauty salon Puder in Vasastan, the grey fog had transformed into beautiful warm sunshine. We took a walk to Observatorielunden and Gamla Stan for some portrait shots, before heading over to the wedding ceremony in Björkhagen.

The church – Markuskyrkan, where the ceremony was held – is like no other church I’ve ever seen before. It’s got a very special character; looks like a fort on the outside, and is quite spacious and dim with a lot of candles on the inside, making it very cozy.
After lots of smiles and quite a few tears during and after the ceremony, we took the stylish French 1950′s car to the final destination of the day, the reception at Mäster Mikaels festvåning in Cornelisparken on Södermalm where the party went on all night.

Jessica and Karl were constantly shining throughout the day and gladly posed in every way I asked them to. You guys are great people, the best of luck to you both!

Here’s part one of their wedding day. Part two coming up soon.

More to come soon…

Pre-wedding | Jessica & Karl

A couple of days ago I met up with next weekend’s wedding couple, Jessica and Karl. It was the first time we met, and they were just as nice people as I expected them to be based on our e-mail conversations.

They’re getting married in Björkhagen, just south of Södermalm in Stockholm. We’re meeting up in town for preparation pictures and portraits before heading back to Björkhagen and Markuskyrkan for their ceremony, followed by the reception on Södermalm. I can barely wait, it’s going to be so much fun!

I was planning on doing a preparation shoot with them, but decided not to since it didn’t feel necessary. That’s why these picture will have to do for now – in a couple of weeks I’ll show you what a great couple they are.

Beautiful sunset as I took the train from Björkhagen back to Kungsholmen.

Wedding | Kajsa & Martin

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 ever garden wedding and I couldn’t have wished for a better one. Thanks Kajsa and Martin for letting me be a part of this great day. All the best to you and your family!

Their two handsome boys.

One of my favs. I love bubbles.

Wedding | Kajsa & Martin | Sneak peak

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.

Pre-wedding | Kajsa & Martin

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. Hopefully the weather will be with us.
