Happy 4th of July!

Congratulations to all my brides, grooms, colleagues, friends and families from and in the USA. Enjoy the fireworks, the ribs and the parades!

No posts? Must be wedding season...

Yes, it's true. I had weddings on two fridays, on every weekend, in between "SecretBox" shootings and all the portraits, kids, students, families... I had to think of my clients instead of all my blog readers. Have patience, please...

Pre-wedding-shoot with Lotta & Jonas.

Aren't they just a lovely couple? We were lucky with the weather - the rain had just stopped when we took the pictures just around the corner of my studio.

Sarah's shoes.

I don't know how many of you are "Shoezillas" but let me show you Sarah's shoes that she will wear on her wedding in a few weeks.




A little closer, so that you can see the cool label.... yes, it says "Dior"!

Madeleine & Peter at Nynäs Havsbad

When Peter & Madeleine booked me we agreed to take some pictures before the ceremony.



They were married in Ösmo kyrka which is south of Stockholm on the way to Nynäshamn.



While the guests had some champagne we took some more pictures near the Baltic Sea.



Yes, Peter is the artist who handpainted the invitaions and table cards below.
Let's party!

Handpainted by Peter.

Personally designed and handpainted invitations for every guest! Peter is not a professional artist but he surely is talented.



Isn't this a great idea? Write the guest's name even on the back of the cards - now even those sitting in front know who you are. So simple and yet so smart!

In just a few weeks...

Pre-wedding sessions are so much fun! When Sarah and Nicolas came to our meeting they were in a hurry because they had to catch the plane back to London where they live. We had only 5 minutes for some pictures... In the beginning they were a little nervous but Sarah is such a warm and spontanous person that Nicolas just could not resist.











That was not so terrible, Nicolas, was it?



See you in a few weeks att Krägga Herrgård!

Workshop part 3 (and final) loooong...

To give you an idea what we did during this 2-days-seminar with Jessica Claire and Becker, I show you some more images. Here are a few more pictures (you have seen some in earlier posts) that I took in the Old Town (Gamla Stan).





Next day, after the seminar, we started at "Hötorget" (market) in the heart of the city. That was the start of several unusual locations that Becker picked.







15 photographers, 2 models, 1 workshop leader walked from the market behind the Concert Hall to Kungsgatan








Back on Kungsgatan. Look at the orange wall in the background.



... with an entrance to...what??? Nobody knew.




Alex could not resist and had to step into the window of the underwear boutique of Triumph. Thank you, Cissi, for not getting mad at us!



Suddenly Alex and Johanna disappeared - we found them in a Café, watching us from inside.




Just across the street is the "rulltrappa" (I have to look up the english word... which is "escalator" - thank you Nouna!) that is on these images.






We came to Stureplan - Stockholm's centre for exclusive shopping, hip nightclubs and the chic part of the city. Our models had fun doing things they usually never would do!






All of you who live in Stockholm know, that "Svampen" was and still is the perfect meeting point whenever during the day (or night). I have to admit - we had some shocked spectators who thought it was very unappropriate to place a weddingcouple under the "Mushroom".




My favourite of the day:
