I can´t believe how fast time flies! It´s been almost a year since I first heard about the idea of this project, but it feels like it was only a few weeks ago. Now, more than 5 months after the shoot I´m so glad to see Jere Satamo´s beautiful images published in Hochzeitsguide! It really takes time for good things to happen. 😉 It was last December, when Saara from Pukuni and Satu from Aino told me about the photoshoot. I just started Willow visuals, so the opportunity to be part of this collaboration was more than an honour to me! The main concept revolved around the story of an intimate wedding… Keep Reading
Laura & Sebastian´s wedding
Lots of singing and laughter, adorable wedding couple, lovely families & friends, great music… These are just a few of the first thoughts that pop up in my mind about Laura & Sebastian´s wedding. A wedding that I photographed with such joy that I hardly noticed the time passing. A wedding, where family and friends joined together to dance and sing. A wedding with so beautiful surprises, that even I couldn´t hold back my tears. It felt relaxed and welcoming, friendly and joyful. I´m sure I have already said it before, so excuse me for repeating myself. Being a wedding photographer is a beautiful job. I feel fortunate to be part of… Keep Reading
Early summer wedding at Haikon Kartano
Every bride dreams of a perfect, sunny weather for the wedding day. What if it´s cold, windy and rainy? Well, it might change some plans…I know, I´ve been there. 😉 Truth is, no matter how bad the weather is, your wedding day is filled with so much love, emotions and prettiness, that no rain, cold or wind can take your joy away. The perfect example to this is Mari´s and Mika´s Big Day. The venue was the gorgeous Haikko Manor (Haikon Kartano) in the middle of Porvoo archipelago. It´s the perfect location for a wedding, with the beautiful Manor and the romantic park by the sea. When I first met… Keep Reading
Where love is…
Image: Rita Miklán Photography One of the things I really love about my job is to be part of amazing styled projects. There is a certain positive vibe in the air, when creative people work together and share their passion and love for beautiful weddings. When everyone gives their 100%, it isn´t just about image making. It is storytelling, something that you can relate to. I know, I start sounding like such a cliche for getting excited about every little detail, but what can I do? 🙂 I´m an addict to pretty things, a fan of everything natural and a hopeless visual enthusiast. Today I wanted to show you the… Keep Reading
Creative photography workshop by Dasha Pears
A few weeks ago I packed my camera bag with an empty notebook and headed to a creative photography workshop at Kaapelitehdas held by Dasha Pears. I´m sure quite a lot of you know her work, but in case you don´t, here is a link to her page. I admire her fairytale-like, slightly surrealistic images and I´ve been very much interested in how she´s coming up with her ideas. I like participating in workshops. I think that these are really cool opportunities to get a little glimpse of a certain field. If you like it, you´ll learn it further on, if not, then it was just a fun experience for you….

Portrait day with Rita
Some months ago I met Rita from Rita Miklan Photography. Our acquaintance moved very fast to a project together, as she asked me to design her a new logo. In the meantime I got to know a fun, nice and talented girl who is just as eager to talk about photography, new creative ideas and cool places in Helsinki, as I am. Over a creamy cup of latte she told me about her plan to do a make-over to her website, which included adding some new portraits of herself as well. It didn´t really take too long to grab our cameras and go outside to fight the Nordic wind and… Keep Reading
September wedding L & J
In late September I had the pleasure to accompany Norbi from N2Photo to photograph a wedding close to Szeged, Hungary. It´s always nice to see other photographers working and to work with, because it´s challenging, it´s fun and it´s teaching a lot about cooperation. Norbi is a true veteran photographer and videographer, so it was a privilege to second-shooting with him. His willingness to help and his guidance was super-valuable, for which I am very thankful. 🙂 Lili & Janos had one of those weddings that everyone wishes for. The ceremony was held in one of the oldest and most beautiful churches of the town followed by an elegant dinner ending with… Keep Reading
Orsi & Martin
At the end of October I had the chance to shoot Orsi´s and Martin´s wedding in Southern Hungary. We met in person during Summer to get to know each other a little bit. As I was also designing their wedding invitation card, we had a lot to go through: colors, motifs, theme, flower options, etc. It was lovely to chat with them and to hear about the details of their nuptials. 🙂 Orsi´s favourites are the pale-pink roses, so they chose them as main flowers for their wedding. And of course I also added them to the wreath illustration for their invitation card-design (you can find the card design here)…. Keep Reading
