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!

A beautiful swedish summer wedding at Klintens loge in Prässebo just north of Gothenburg. This was the location of Anna and Victors wedding. And if you ask me, they couldn’t have chosen a better place.
The surroundings was just perfect. Behind the barn there is a large meadow and a few meters from the hill that goes up to the barn, we have a large lake with a beautiful view.
I can’t remember that any of my couples has been together for 10 years, but living on different continents. Karin and Kristian met in collage in Boston in 2005. At the same time, Karin moved back to Sweden but Kristian (who is an american) continued with his education. And despite long periods when they could not meet each other, they have always knew that they belonged together. So finally, in early 2013, during a walk in Boston, Kristian went down on his knee and proposed Can it get any more romantic?

”We are looking for a photographer for our wedding. I found you on the net and I just say WOW what amazing pictures you take!” That’s how Emelie inquiry began when asking if I could take there wedding photos. I’ve been a few time before on the venue, Hällsnäs Mansion just outside Gothenburg.
I need more or less only one word to describe this wedding. Party! When the live band started playing after the dinner, people just started to dance like crazy! Led by the bride, Emelie And it was quitw amazing to see Emelie’s father grabbing his saxophone for a jam session with the band!
I had the pleasure of being with the wedding gang from late morning to a few hours after midnight. And I must admit that i could feel th hours in my body the next day
