Der,It would be natural to start off by saying something to the effect of, “Holy crap, we’re in ICELAND, in Budir’s Black Church, can you believe we made this happen?” but this just seems like par for the course of our relationship. We both know the danger of throwing out ideas like this one, because […]

Wedding collection 2017

Happy new year! Last year was full of changes. After many years I felt it was time to try something new. City life kept me super busy, and studio in the capital was all around me.

Madli and Oscar had a small, intimate wedding in Sweden, close to Gothenburg, between the fairytale forests and lakes. Only the closest family was invited.

Yearly collection 2016

Romantic couple holding hands by tranquil lakeside surrounded by tall pine trees in iceland.

I wanted to name the gallery, again, “The very best of weddings 2016…” but, it is far from the best. It is just the fraction of those tens of thousands of photographs taken so close to magic at weddings. So close to home and so far away from home. Last year, though, was by far […]
