En liten sneak peek från gårdagens bröllop mellan Veronica och Jim. Bilderna nedan är från Ronnums herrgård, där brudparet senare på kvällen festade loss med släkt och vänner.

Stockenäs, just east of Mellerud, by the Lake Vänern – a stunningly beautiful place. It was there that I had the great pleasure to photograph when Maria and Gustav would marry. And once again, it felt like you were somewhere at sea, Vänern is stooor

Because Maria was not quite ready when I showed up so we started to shoot Gustav and Axel, today’s best man (and brother of Gustav). We got a bunch of wonderfully casual pictures. And when Maria was ready, we continued on the same theme. Not a trace of any stress

The church of the day was Klöveskogs church, built by local carpenters own between the years 1930-1934. A nice little church and very beautiful.

During the ceremony we got to hear really good version of You’re the inspiration by Chicago and Benny Andersson specially composed song for Crown Princess Victoria’s wedding – Vilar glad in dina armar.

A how big thank you anywhere Maria and Gustav that I had to be with during this day!

A wonderful wedding between Carrie and Hans, with a mixture of Chinese and Swedish elements. The wedding ceremony was Swedish but the rest of the day belonged to China

We started with a form of ”game” where Hans (together with his marshals) had to perform different tasks. These various elements were assembled by the bridesmaids and the sentence was that his would show that he was ready to marry Carrie.

Then followed a tea ceremony with parents and relatives. At the same time it was handed over the gifts to the bride and groom.

When this ceremony was ready so we went to Alemäns Boras for wedding and portrait photography. I took considerably more group photos here than I have ever taken All guests would be in the picture with the bride and groom. Probably think both Carrie and Hans had some light stiff jaws afterward

The party that came afterwards, with a 10-course dinner, had the speeches in both Cantonese and Swedish. There were mixed fresh between languages (had some difficulties to keep up sometimes, but usually understood the spirit of the speech). Hans also had ”warned” me before that the food was Chinese on the Chinese way, not ”Swedish-Chinese” food. Some dishes I had been able to do without (like Sea Cucumber) while others tasted really good.

After all the speeches and the food it was time for the couple to go around to all the tables and cheering and receiving gifts and small ”Hong Bao”, that is red envelopes with money in. Quite fun to see how Hans and Carrie went around with his entourage went around among the tables and toasted with cognac (and iced tea).

Yes, this wedding was really nothing I have experienced before. So a really big thank Carrie and Hans that I got to be in your wedding!

En liten sneak peek från ett helt underbart bröllop mellan Francesca och Joel på Bohus-Malmön. Har en hel bilder att gallra igenom nu

Göteborg visade sig från sin bästa sida när Fadi och Maria gifte sig. Under strålande solsken började vi med porträtten i Trädgårdsföreningen. Sen fick vi skjuts av Royal Limousine upp till Götaplatsen, där vi passade på att ta lite fler bilder.

Vigseln hölls i Tyska kyrkan och för ovanlighetens skull så satt alla (gäster som brudpar) ner under vigselakten (något som ska vara vanligt i Tyskland). Ja, man satt alltså inte under hela vigseln, men under större delen av den. Lite ovanligt, men kul för att jag fick tänka om lite på hur man tar bilderna

Himskans stort tack Maria och Fadi för att jag fick vara med under ert bröllop!

Enkelt och äkta – inga stela leenden

Bröllopsfotograf Göteborg

Datum: 5’e maj 2016

Bröllop, Bröllopsbilder, Bröllopsfoto, Bröllopsfotograf, Bröllopsfotograf Göteborg, Bryllup, Vigsel, Wedding

En av fördelarna med att jobba som bröllopsfotograf är att man får komma till ställen man aldrig annars skulle ha fått se. Ställen som man aldrig skulle ha fått höra talas om. Jag har fått chansen att få resa till Berlin, till Sundsvall, till Värnamo, till Ystad, till Vänersborg, till Varberg, till Kinnekulle, till Skara, till Uppsala, till Borlänge och naturligtvis till Göteborg. Förbaskat kul!

Jag har fått chansen att få träffa en himskans massa goa människor också. Vare sig man ”bara” varit med under någon timme för porträtt eller under 17 timmar för den heldag, har man haft lika kul och tiden bara springer iväg. På vägen hem har man alltid ett leende på läpparna.

enkelt och äkta – inga stela leenden

– sedan 2010 –

Igår hade jag det stora nöjet att spendera dagen tillsammans med Alexandra och Niclas.
