Maria & Gustav

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!
