We had lots of snow this winter, as you can see from the pictures. Snowy winters are much better than dark ones, especially if you’re a wedding photographer, as snow really makes a nice element in a wedding picture. Here’s a few pics from this snowy season, I hope you like them. :)
Annika & Henkka got married in Helsingin Tuomiokirkko and their wedding venue was the HSS Boathouse, which is located on a little island on the shore of Helsinki. This is one of the most athmospheric places to have your wedding at, because you are on the sea and the views are amazing!
This spring introduced a couple of new venues to me, like the Wanha Bäckby, where Hanna & Matti had their wedding (the couple in most of the pictures of this post). In the year 2009 I turned into a full-time wedding photographer, with all my focus still being on getting better and better pictures.
The winters here in Finland are dark and long. You have to really work your best to make your pictures good, when there isn’t too much light coming from the sky. But then again, it’s nice to have a challenge. :) One other thing you have to remember is to keep the wedding couple warm. Otherwise their skin turns quickly to red, and that’s not a good thing at all…
Wonderful venues and happy couples! What more could you ask for? This is a great job! :) The first pictures are from Johanneksenkirkko, which is one of my favorite churches here in Finland. Big, lots of light and a really cool red carpet on the main corridor.
Wedding photos from the spring of 2008. The first two pictures are from Uunisaari, which is located in the vincinity of Kaivopuisto, Helsinki. It’s a perfect place for a small wedding. The floor of the room you can see in the first picture is actually tilted a few degrees, and it feels strange when you are walking uphill and downhill inside a house.
