queer Wedding photography Finland and europe
Wedding photography that supports the uniqueness of your day!
As a wedding photographer the most important thing for me is to document the love you have for each other and the small happy moments during your day, as they are. In our portrait sessions I do my best to create a safe atmosphere for you to be together in a natural way. During your day I’ll also be one of the people who you can ask for painkillers or help with your boutonniere – I’ll be there for you.
I photograph a lot and my galleries are big by default, but if you want a smaller gallery, that can be done – just let me know!
If you’re eloping or having your wedding somewhere in Europe and would like me to document it, don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to make you an offer tailored to your needs.
The Experience
-
Send me a message and tell me about your hopes and dreams! Who are you, how did you meet each other, what do you expect from your wedding photographer? When and where are you getting married?
I will get back to you within 24 hours, send you a couple of full galleries to skim through, maybe ask some more questions and answer yours. I’d also love to have a video call or meet face to face before you make your decision! When you decide to book, I’ll send both of you a contract to sign and an invoice for the 20% deposit.
After that, I’m available for you every day till your wedding via email and whatsapp!
-
Feel free to ask me anything – it doesn’t have to be about photography, I’ve been to 100+ weddings and planned my own – I have a lot of knowledge! I’ll also hope that you write down your wishes and collect some visual references. The more you share with me, the more precisely I can meet your needs.
We will have the “official” meeting approximately one month prior to your wedding. I prefer meeting face to face, but if we don’t live in the same city and nor you or I have any other reason to travel, video call is fine too! We’ll go through the schedule, all your wishes and fears, any specific images that are important to you. Basically everything you might want me to know beforehand!
-
If your wedding is more than two hours away from Turku or if we’ve agreed to start early, I will get there the night before. On your day, I’ll be there for you. I’ll do my job documenting everything but I’m also ready to help with anything you might need. I hope that both of you trust me and feel comfortable being around me by this point!
I wish that you send me an approximate schedule of your wedding day via mail beforehand (with all the last minute changes), so that I will know where to be and when, and don’t have to disturb you or your wedding team with questions. I hope that you’ll schedule time for the portraits, as generously as is suitable for you, but at least an hour shared in two or three slots!
-
I will send you a small sneak peek the day after you wedding, to post on social media or just for you and your closest ones to admire. I will need up to five weeks to prepare the full gallery and up to six weeks with any videos.
When I get the images done, I will send you a password protected gallery with all of them in optimal size for web and social media use. You can either share the gallery with your guests as it is, or mark me the ones you want to share, and I delete the rest. Within two months I’ll send you a USB with both web and full sized photos and possible video files, and a few prints of your day.
I can also prepare an album or some other kind of physical form of your favourite photos.

FAQ
-
Of course! In weddings, the deadline to your final payment is two weeks after your wedding day, but you can start paying it a few months before the wedding, if you feel like it! Just let me know.
-
I’ll send you a sneak peek the next day after your wedding! When the photos are ready, you’ll get a link to an online gallery with websized images that you share with your guests. Post production usually takes around four weeks. After that I’ll send you (edited) full size files and possible videos on a flash drive.
-
Yes! I do both colour and b&w versions of every photo I deliver.
-
I’m located in Turku, Finland. My dream is to travel abroad for work once or twice a year, so TOTALLY! I travel by boats and trains whenever it is possible.
-
Rescheduling is free, if the new date is still available in my calendar. If you cancel your wedding, I believe that you have a good reason to do that, and will give you a gift card for the amount of your retainer.
-
It’s totally up to you to decide, I will ask about it after you’ve seen your photos! Getting new client work for my portfolio and socials is crucial, but it’s not your responsibility to provide me any, if you don’t feel comfortable with it.
