Most couples wait weeks for a gallery to land in their inbox; these two were still out walking Rome when theirs arrived. Black and white, straight out of the camera, nothing touched afterwards. They had two hours free in the afternoon, so we met by the Forum and finished at the Colosseum once the sun had gone. - [The North of Mallorca // Monika & Łukasz](https://nordicaphotography.com/mallorca-wedding-photographer-monika-lukasz/): I met Monika and Łukasz the way I meet most couples: as near strangers, minutes before the first frame. A day like this fixes that quickly. We built it around the north of Mallorca, the quieter end of the island, and planned the whole thing around the light. - [A Madeira Elopement // Mónica & Nuno](https://nordicaphotography.com/madeira-elopement-monica-nuno/): Mónica and Nuno live on Madeira, and that is where we met: Funchal, before sunrise, a town square still dark. We spent one afternoon driving the island and photographing as we went, and by evening I was on a plane home. There was fog up on the ridge and sun down on the coast inside the same hour, which is normal for Madeira and part of why I keep going back. Thanks to Mónica and Nuno for giving me their afternoon. - [As Good As It Gets // Elisabeth & Julius](https://nordicaphotography.com/dolomites-destination-wedding-elisabeth-julius/): If you are thinking about a Dolomites destination wedding, this is what a single day here can hold. My guide to getting married in the Dolomites covers the where and the how, and there is another day that ended at Passo Giau with Yuliia and Gunnar. Get in touch and tell me what you have in mind. - [Berlin in Black and White // Ellen & Franz](https://nordicaphotography.com/berlin-engagement-ellen-franz/): Ellen and Franz walked through Berlin with me for a couple of evening hours, the television tower over one shoulder and the light going down. Everything here is black and white, straight out of camera. - [Horses & Champagne // Maja & Marko](https://nordicaphotography.com/dolomites-wedding-photographer-maja-marko/): One day, three of the most famous places in the range, and no rushing between them. That is the job as I see it as a Dolomites wedding photographer, and my guide to getting married in the Dolomites covers the where and the how of doing it yourself. There is more from these mountains in Kim and Denim’s day from Tre Cime to Cortina. Get in touch if you want a day like this one. - [An Azores Elopement // Silvia & Florin](https://nordicaphotography.com/azores-elopement-silvia-florin/): São Miguel is a long way out in the Atlantic, closer to nothing than anywhere, and it packs a ridiculous amount into an island you can drive across in an afternoon: waterfalls, hot springs, crater lakes, black beaches, and a coastline that looks different every few miles. Silvia and Florin wanted to see as much of it as one day allows, so the plan was to keep moving, from the green ridges in the northeast down to the sea stacks at Mosteiros for the last of the light. If you are thinking about an Azores elopement, São Miguel is where I would start. - [A Fjord Elopement at Hotel Union Øye // Amy & Ben](https://nordicaphotography.com/hotel-union-oye-wedding-amy-ben/): If you are looking at a Hotel Union Øye wedding, this is roughly the shape of it: two towns and one long fjord. Amy and Ben’s guest list was the two of them and a boat crew. - [A Dolomites Elopement // Yuliia & Gunnar](https://nordicaphotography.com/dolomites-elopement-yuliia-gunnar/): Yuliia and Gunnar met at one of my Way Up North events, the year we held it in Berlin. She is from Ukraine, he is from Iceland, and they have been inseparable since that week. They live together in Iceland now. This was our day in the Dolomites, and it was a wild one. - [Hiking Ryten // Ine & Jimmy](https://nordicaphotography.com/lofoten-hiking-elopement-ine-jimmy/): A full day on their feet to get married, which is exactly what they wanted, and exactly the couple I want to be photographing. There is more of the islands in Sirena and Eric's Lofoten day. If a Lofoten hiking elopement is your idea of a wedding day, come and find me, and bring good boots. - [Tre Cime to Cortina // Kim & Denim](https://nordicaphotography.com/dolomites-elopement-kim-denim/): Then Prato Piazza, a high open plateau that is one of my favourite corners of these mountains, and it gets a fraction of the visitors the famous spots do. - [A Western in Valencia // Adriana & Ondrej](https://nordicaphotography.com/valencia-wedding-photographer-adriana-ondrej/): Here is the honest part first: Adriana and Ondrej are engaged, this was not their wedding, and I am quietly campaigning to shoot the real one. - [Two Brides on Reykjanes // Glóþór & Sólveig](https://nordicaphotography.com/gay-elopement-iceland-glothor-solveig/): Glóþór and Sólveig got married on the Reykjanes peninsula, two brides in white against roughly a hundred shades of black. - [A Sunrise Elopement in Florence // Federica & Marco](https://nordicaphotography.com/florence-sunrise-elopement-federica-marco/): Federica and Marco met me in Florence at four in the morning. We photographed for two hours and finished before the first tour groups reached the Ponte Vecchio. Every photograph they walked away with was black and white. - [The Second Island // Kasia & Kostek](https://nordicaphotography.com/mallorca-elopement-kasia-kostek/): If you are looking for a Mallorca elopement photographer, this is the shape of day I love to build: one full day, sunrise to sunset, no venue required. The photographs can also be ready the same evening, straight out of camera, if that appeals to you the way it appeals to me. Get in touch. And if you want to see more of the island first, here is the north of Mallorca with Monika and Łukasz. - [Kirkjufell // Anna & Niklas](https://nordicaphotography.com/kirkjufell-elopement-anna-niklas/): Anna and Niklas eloped on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland, and the day ran from Kirkjufell right out to the far basalt coast. - [A Boat, a Dog, and the Rain // Simona & Marius](https://nordicaphotography.com/lago-di-braies-elopement-simona-marius/): Simona and Marius drove down from Lithuania to elope in the Dolomites, and they brought Moka, their Australian shepherd, along for the whole day. It came in two very different halves: a still, green morning on the water at Lago di Braies, and a soaking afternoon up in the mountains. Moka was there for all of it. - [Above the Clouds // Justine & Jack](https://nordicaphotography.com/pico-do-arieiro-elopement-justine-jack/): Justine and Jack wanted one day that felt like the whole of Madeira, so we started at the top of the island in the dark. - [A Winter Elopement in Sweden // Sam & Rob](https://nordicaphotography.com/winter-elopement-sweden-sam-rob/): Sam and Rob wanted to get married in the snow, so they booked the cabin for a few nights in the dead of a Swedish winter and did exactly that. - [Rome Engagement Session // Rozina & Salvatore](https://nordicaphotography.com/rome-engagement-rozina-salvatore/): Rozina and Salvatore are getting married, and before the wedding they wanted Rome. We met at sunrise, when the centre is empty and you can hear the Trevi Fountain from a street away. - [The Fanal Forest // Maria & Jonathan](https://nordicaphotography.com/fanal-forest-madeira-maria-jonathan/): The new route ran down the west of the island. The Miradouro da Ribeira da Janela first, then up into the Fanal forest, where most of these photographs come from. Fanal is the old laurel forest at the top of Madeira, centuries-old trees twisted into shapes no one would believe in a drawing, and the fog was moving through it the whole time we were there: white one minute, sun the next. After that we tried for the cable car at Achadas da Cruz, but the queue was long and the light was not waiting, so we let it go and carried on: the Miradouro da Boa Morte, the lighthouse at Ponta do Pargo, and the end of the day down at Ponta do Sol. The photographs run in the order the day did. - [How to Shoot at Muralla Roja](https://nordicaphotography.com/muralla-roja-photoshoot-guide/): Bofill’s pink labyrinth in Calpe is private, permitted, and completely worth it. How couples actually arrange a photoshoot at La Muralla Roja. - [Weather and All // Claudia & Deniz](https://nordicaphotography.com/azores-wedding-photographer-claudia-deniz/): That was one day on São Miguel, weather and all. If you want an Azores wedding photographer who will happily get rained on for the shot, you know where I am. There is more from these islands here: Kasia and Kostek's São Miguel elopement in black and white, and a wedding over on Terceira. - [A Cabin on the Baltic // Evelyne & Oskar](https://nordicaphotography.com/hop-farm-beach-cabin-evelyne-oskar/): Evelyne and Oskar booked the Hop Farm Beach cabin on Sweden's Baltic coast and added a session. Why I want to photograph more cabin elopements and weddings here. - [A Winter Elopement in the Dolomites // Kristina & Cristian](https://nordicaphotography.com/dolomites-winter-elopement-kristina-cristian/): If you have been looking at these two places and quietly deciding you want them without the crowds, a Dolomites winter elopement is how you get that. Bring a warmer coat than you think you need. I will be the one asking you to stand still for one more minute in the cold, and you will be glad you did. - [Sunrise in Lisbon // Ana & David](https://nordicaphotography.com/lisbon-elopement-ana-david/): There is about an hour, just before sunrise, when Lisbon belongs to whoever is standing in it. The trams are still parked, the miradouros are empty, and down on the Tejo the 25 de Abril bridge hangs over water so still it looks painted. Ana and David spent that hour in a wedding dress and a navy suit. I spent it a few steps behind them. - [Reykjanes in Black and White // Andreea & Matthias](https://nordicaphotography.com/reykjanes-elopement-andreea-matthias/): Andreea and Matthias eloped across the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, and I shot the whole day in black and white. - [Sunrise in the Dolomites // Elisa & Hector](https://nordicaphotography.com/dolomites-engagement-elisa-hector/): Elisa is Italian, Hector is Mexican, and they wanted the Dolomites to themselves before the day began. - [Sunrise to Sunset // Juan & Laura](https://nordicaphotography.com/lanzarote-wedding-photographer-juan-laura/): Lanzarote is a strange and beautiful place to get married. Black lava and white houses, vineyards grown in volcanic gravel, red cliffs where the Atlantic comes in hard. As a Lanzarote wedding photographer you could not ask for more variety, and with Juan driving, the day reached corners of the island I would not have found on my own. - [Hovås Kallbadhus // Viktoria & Paul](https://nordicaphotography.com/hovas-kallbadhus-brollop-viktoria-paul/): Viktoria and Paul are German, they live in Copenhagen, and they got married on the Swedish west coast. That last part needs explaining. Viktoria’s stepfather is Swedish, and his family’s summer house in Kungsbacka, built by his grandfather, is where a good part of her childhood happened. So Sweden was never a venue choice. It was already the place that meant something. - [Iceland Elopement // Lindsey & Daniel](https://nordicaphotography.com/iceland-elopement-lindsey-daniel/): A rain-soaked ceremony at Þórufoss, horses at Indjánahöfði, a black church, sea cliffs, and the Blue Lagoon to finish. Lindsey and Daniel’s Iceland elopement, start to end. - [Montone // Monica & Marco](https://nordicaphotography.com/umbria-wedding-photographer-monica-marco/): If you are looking for an Umbria wedding photographer, get in touch. I would go back to Montone tomorrow. There is more of this same-day black and white from the Dolomites. - [On Their Own Island // Joana & Darcio](https://nordicaphotography.com/madeira-wedding-photographer-joana-darcio/): As a Madeira wedding photographer I usually meet couples who are flying in for the first time. This was the other way round: two locals who grew up here, trusting me to plan them a day across the whole island. Sunrise on the wild eastern tip, midday in the old laurel forest, sunset high on Pico do Arieiro. It took the best conditions I have ever had here and every hour of planning I could give it. - [A Day Across Copenhagen // Caroline & Rasmus](https://nordicaphotography.com/copenhagen-engagement-photographer-caroline-rasmus/): Caroline and Rasmus took me around Copenhagen for a day, and it turned into a tour of the city's best corners. Nyhavn and its painted houses, the old cobbled streets, the museums with their coloured walls, the sharp modern architecture down on the harbour. Copenhagen packs a lot of very different backdrops into a small, walkable city, which makes it one of the best places I know for a couple to spend a day in front of a camera. - [Sunrise at Tre Cime // Lottie & Jack](https://nordicaphotography.com/tre-cime-di-lavaredo-elopement-lottie-jack/): Lottie and Jack wanted to elope the hard way, on foot and before sunrise. So the three of us met in the dark, walked up into the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, and had the three most famous peaks in the Alps almost to ourselves as the sun came up. They could have stayed there all day. Instead, once the light went flat, we drove on across the mountains for a second act at sunset. - [Married on São Miguel // Maria & Jonathan](https://nordicaphotography.com/sao-miguel-wedding-photographer-maria-jonathan/): Maria and Jonathan flew to the middle of the Atlantic to get married, and got the whole island in return. If you want more of these islands, there is Claudia and Deniz's Azores wedding, and elopements with Silvia and Florin and Kasia and Kostek, in the journal already. And if you need a São Miguel wedding photographer, I would fly back for it in a heartbeat. - [A Summer in the Archipelago // Caroline & Freddie](https://nordicaphotography.com/stockholm-archipelago-wedding-caroline-freddie/): Caroline is Swedish and Freddie is English, and for one long weekend the whole of both families came out to the Stockholm archipelago. - [Sunrise in Copenhagen // Irene & Jan](https://nordicaphotography.com/copenhagen-elopement-irene-jan/): Irene and Jan were driving home to Italy from Norway when they stopped in Copenhagen. Their ride deserves its own paragraph, and it gets one below. The alarm went off before four, and by the time the sky started to burn we were standing on a jetty at the edge of the city. - [A Lofoten Elopement // Sophie & Johan](https://nordicaphotography.com/lofoten-elopement-photographer-sophie-johan/): None of it is far apart, and that is the thing to take from Sophie and Johan's day: base yourself somewhere central like Leknes, keep the driving short, and you get a different world every twenty minutes. If you want a Lofoten elopement photographer who knows where to point the car, come and find me. There is more of the islands in Ine and Jimmy's hike up Ryten. - [A Stockholm Wedding // Jenny & Tobias](https://nordicaphotography.com/stockholm-wedding-jenny-tobias/): Jenny and Tobias used the whole city for their wedding, from the Lydmar to Fotografiska. As a Stockholm wedding photographer, this is the day I point couples to when they ask what is possible. - [Azores Elopement // Kasia & Kostek](https://nordicaphotography.com/azores-elopement-kasia-kostek/): Kasia and Kostek eloped on São Miguel in the Azores: ridgelines, cedar forests, fern ravines and the Atlantic, photographed entirely in black and white. - [A Wedding at the Juvet Landscape Hotel // Ida & James](https://nordicaphotography.com/juvet-wedding-photographer-ida-james/): Ida and James spent the first hours of their wedding day on a hillside above the fjords, before the light was even up. - [The Whole Island in a Day // Francesca & Riccardo](https://nordicaphotography.com/lanzarote-engagement-photographer-francesca-riccardo/): Francesca wore a dress by le mariage. If you are looking for a Lanzarote engagement photographer, and you want to spend a day chasing light across lava and sand with someone who will happily throw the plan out when something better turns up, get in touch. I photographed a Lanzarote wedding not long ago and I am already looking for the next reason to return. - [Sunrise to the Lighthouse // Silvia & Florin](https://nordicaphotography.com/madeira-engagement-photographer-silvia-florin/): Silvia and Florin asked for one long day on Madeira, start to finish, and they were happy to be up in the dark to get it. So it ran: a clifftop at first light, then west across the island through laurel forest and down a cliff face in a cable car, and out to the lighthouse at the far tip for the last of the sun. - [Mallorca Wedding Photographer // Emma & Robin](https://nordicaphotography.com/mallorca-wedding-photographer-emma-robin/): Shooting as a Mallorca wedding photographer, the thing you plan around here is that evening light, building the day so the portraits land when the fields turn colour. The rest is just showing up early and staying late. - [A Winter Wedding at Passo Gardena // Laura & Ale](https://nordicaphotography.com/passo-gardena-winter-wedding-laura-ale/): Everyone photographs the Dolomites in summer, when the meadows are green and the passes run nose to tail with motorbikes. Laura and Ale wanted them in the snow. So we drove up to Passo Gardena in the middle of winter, 2,136 metres up between Val Gardena and Val Badia, and had the mountains more or less to ourselves. - [An Elopement at Hótel Búðir // Halldóra & Örn](https://nordicaphotography.com/hotel-budir-elopement-halldora-orn/): Halldóra and Örn eloped around Búðir, on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, starting in the pink hour before the rest of Iceland was up. - [A Wedding Before Dawn // Charlotte & Collin](https://nordicaphotography.com/tre-cime-di-lavaredo-wedding-charlotte-collin/): Charlotte and Collin got married beneath Tre Cime di Lavaredo, three walls of rock two and a half thousand metres high.

Passo Giau is a high pass in the eastern Italian Alps, the drive up one of the finest roads in the range, with the sharp pyramid of the Ra Gusela above it. They got married up there in the first light, with almost nobody else around. - [Bröllopsfotograf Malmö // Alice & Marcus](https://nordicaphotography.com/brollopsfotograf-malmo-alice-marcus/): Alice grew up in Lomma, on the coast north of Malmö.

When Justyna and Jarrod inquired about their Juvet Landscape hotel wedding, we didn’t fully know what a gem Juvet really was. - [Lake Como Wedding Photographer // Jenny & Oscar](https://nordicaphotography.com/lake-como-wedding-photographer-jenny-oscar/): Villa Lario is a boutique property with gardens that step down to the lake's edge. The ceremony took place outdoors with the lake and the mountains of the eastern shore visible behind the couple. The gardens are mature and well maintained, with stone pathways, old trees, and terraced areas that provide natural variety for portraits without ever leaving the property. As a Lake Como wedding photographer, the challenge is not finding beautiful locations but choosing between them. Villa Lario solved that problem by containing so many different settings within a single, cohesive space. - [Norway Destination Wedding // Nicola & Cato](https://nordicaphotography.com/norway-destination-wedding-nicola-cato/): Nicola and Cato travelled from Australia for a Norway destination wedding at Noreheim in Norefjell, a mountaintop venue roughly two hours northwest of Oslo. The choice to bring family and friends from the other side of the world to a mountain lodge in Norway told you exactly what this couple valued: landscape, intimacy, and a celebration that felt connected to Cato's Norwegian roots. The venue sits at elevation with panoramic views across the Norefjell mountain range, and on a clear day the sight lines stretch for miles in every direction. - [Iceland Wedding // Alicja & Arnþór](https://nordicaphotography.com/iceland-wedding-alicja-arnthor/): Alicja and Arnþór's Iceland wedding took place at Hotel Hellnar on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, one of the most atmospheric locations in western Iceland. The hotel sits at the foot of Snæfellsjökull glacier, overlooking the North Atlantic, and the surrounding coastline is defined by lava formations, sea stacks, and the constant movement of the ocean. For a destination wedding in Iceland, Snæfellsnes offers a landscape that combines the dramatic geology of the country with a sense of remoteness that is increasingly rare on the more popular south coast. - [Ireland Wedding Photographer // Anita & Martin](https://nordicaphotography.com/ireland-wedding-photographer-anita-martin/): Kerry is known as one of the most beautiful counties in Ireland, and the coastline around Fenit demonstrates why. The village sits on a spit of land that reaches into Tralee Bay, with a harbour, a lighthouse accessible by causeway, and views that change constantly with the weather. The light in western Ireland moves quickly, and on a single day the sky can shift from bright sun to moody cloud to golden warmth in the space of an hour. As an Ireland wedding photographer, this unpredictability is part of what makes the country so rewarding to work in. Every image is shaped by the moment, and the landscape never looks the same twice. - [Nelson Wedding Photographer // Indigo & Kurt](https://nordicaphotography.com/nelson-wedding-photographer-indigo-kurt/): The ceremony took place in native bush, surrounded by the dense green canopy that defines the Nelson region. New Zealand's native forests have a quality that is unlike anything in the Northern Hemisphere: the ferns, the moss, the filtered light through the canopy all create an atmosphere that feels ancient and quiet. Indigo and Kurt exchanged vows in this setting with close friends and family, and the intimacy of the forest matched the warmth of the celebration. As a Nelson wedding photographer for this day, the forest provided a natural ceremony space that needed nothing added to it. - [Lofoten Elopement // Ashlie & Brian](https://nordicaphotography.com/lofoten-elopement-ashlie-brian/): Ashlie and Brian's Lofoten elopement took us through some of the most striking landscapes in northern Norway, from the fishing village of Reine to the beaches and mountain roads around Leknes. Lofoten has become one of our most-requested elopement destinations, and every time we return the islands reveal something new. The combination of dramatic peaks rising from the sea, sheltered bays, and the ever-changing Arctic light makes Lofoten one of the most visually rich locations we photograph in. - [Cinque Terre Wedding Photographer // Gaby & Matt](https://nordicaphotography.com/cinque-terre-wedding-photographer-gaby-matt/): The Church of San Pietro sits at the very tip of Porto Venere, surrounded by the sea on three sides. The building dates back to the 13th century, and the black-and-white striped marble facade is a landmark visible from the harbour and the coastal path. The ceremony space inside is intimate, and the views from the terrace outside are extraordinary: the Ligurian Sea stretches south toward the islands of Palmaria and Tino, and the coloured houses of Porto Venere cascade down the hillside behind. As a Cinque Terre wedding photographer, this is one of the most powerful ceremony locations on the Italian coast. - [Mallorca Wedding Photographer // Helin & Martin](https://nordicaphotography.com/mallorca-wedding-photographer-helin-martin/): Son Marroig is a former residence of Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria, who fell in love with Mallorca's Tramuntana coast in the 19th century. The estate retains the character of that era: stone terraces, Mediterranean gardens, and interiors filled with period furniture and local art. For a wedding, the property offers several distinct spaces. The ceremony terrace with its iconic temple and sea views is the centrepiece, but the gardens, the courtyard, and the interior rooms all provide settings that photograph beautifully. As a Mallorca wedding photographer at Son Marroig, the challenge is not finding beauty but managing the abundance of it. - [Salina Wedding Photographer // Sarah & Neil](https://nordicaphotography.com/salina-wedding-photographer-sarah-neil/): As a Salina wedding photographer, the island's compact size works in your favour. The harbour, the hillside villages, and the coastal paths are all accessible within minutes, and the light over the water changes constantly throughout the day. Sarah and Neil's celebration made use of the outdoor spaces and the views across to Lipari and Panarea, and the warmth of the island community added a generosity to the day that felt genuinely Italian. - [Bröllopsfotograf Stockholm // Sheena & Daniel](https://nordicaphotography.com/brollopsfotograf-stockholm-sheena-daniel/): Weddings in Sweden are seldom for us, let alone at home in Stockholm, so this bröllopsfotograf Stockholm story is one we loved. ## Pages - [Where My Black And White Lives](https://nordicaphotography.com/where-my-black-and-white-lives/): About a year ago I started posting a lot on VSCO under my own name, disconnected from Nordica. The work there drifted away from weddings and elopements, and finally let me scratch an itch I’ve had for years. - [Albums Studio](https://nordicaphotography.com/albums-studio/): Choose the album style you love most. You can select your ideal size in the next step. - [Getting Married in Europe](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-europe/): Denmark is the continent’s shortcut: approval for about 2,100 DKK and a City Hall ceremony inside a couple of months. Iceland, Portugal, Sweden and Norway all marry foreigners without residency, with varying lead times. Italy takes three to six months of Nulla Osta patience. Spain is the honest exception: civil weddings need residency, so couples celebrate there and sign elsewhere. - [Getting Married in Norway](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-norway/): Late May to September is the green season, when the ferries run often and the light barely leaves. June trades certainty for the brightest nights. Winter is dark, dramatic and for the committed, and the hotels get quieter and better for it. - [Getting Married in Iceland](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-iceland/): Waterfalls, black beaches and lava fields, and one of the easiest places on earth to marry. Reykjanes, Snaefellsnes and the south coast, from a photographer who has been forty five times. - [Getting Married in Lofoten](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-lofoten/): Arctic peaks straight out of the sea, red cabins on the water, and a summer sun that never sets. Reine, Ryten and the midnight light, and what to know before you go. - [Getting Married in Sweden](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-sweden/): The Arctic north: snow, frozen forest, the ICEHOTEL and the aurora. Swedish Lapland from a photographer who calls Sweden home. - [Getting Married in Madeira](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-madeira/): A green volcanic island, warm all year, with a sea of cloud you can stand above at dawn. Pico do Arieiro, Ponta de Sao Lourenco and Fanal, and how I would plan it. - [Getting Married in the Dolomites](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-the-dolomites/): Pale limestone towers, turquoise lakes and alpine meadows where Italy meets old Austria. Tre Cime, Lago di Braies and Passo Giau, and when to go. - [Guides](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/): Guides The places I know best. Field notes from places I know well and would go back to tomorrow, written for the couples getting married there. If one helps you turn an idea into a place and a date, even better. Maybe I will see you there. More to come. - [Getting Married in the Azores](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-the-azores/): Nine islands in the mid-Atlantic and a different wedding on each. São Miguel, Terceira and Pico compared, and how to choose yours. - [Fotograf i Hälsingland & Gävle](https://nordicaphotography.com/fotograf-halsingland/): Jag heter Cole. Jag har fotograferat bröllop och människor i snart tjugo år, i ett trettiotal länder. Numera bor jag i Gävle, och en del av det jag är mest stolt över fotograferar jag en timme hemifrån. - [Getting Married in Copenhagen](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-copenhagen/): The easiest city in Europe to marry: coloured townhouses, canals and the simplest paperwork on the continent. The city hall, Nyhavn and a walkable wedding day. - [Getting Married in Mallorca](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-mallorca/): Mediterranean mountains and hidden coves an easy couple of hours from home.

The images are our selection of favourites from 2013 and include places around the world, such as Serbia, Iceland, Dominican Republic, Croatia, Western Canada, France, Italy and many more. - [Homepage](https://nordicaphotography.com/) - [Getting Married in Italy](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-italy/): May, June, September and October are the sweet spots almost everywhere: the cities before the heat, the hills in their best light, the coast still warm. July and August belong to the south and the lakes, taken early and late in the day. The mountains keep their own calendar, in their own guide. - [Albums.](https://nordicaphotography.com/albums/): A couple's first view of their wedding images is a slideshow, with a curated collection of pictures from the day. We want to not only deliver a whole lot of images, but also tell the story of the wedding, as we saw it unfold. - [Algarve Wedding Photographer](https://nordicaphotography.com/algarve-wedding-photographer/): Algarve Wedding Photography - [Amalfi Coast Wedding Photographer](https://nordicaphotography.com/amalfi-coast-wedding-photographer/): Amalfi Coast Wedding Photography - [Ankara Wedding Photography](https://nordicaphotography.com/ankara-wedding-photography/): Ankara Wedding Photography - [Blog](https://nordicaphotography.com/blog-2/) - [Getting Married in Sweden as a Foreigner](https://nordicaphotography.com/guides/getting-married-in-sweden-as-a-foreigner/): You do not need to live here, the paperwork is free, and the ceremony itself can be over in ten minutes on a frozen lake if that is what you want. I photograph weddings and elopements across Sweden, most of them up in the Arctic north, and couples ask me the same questions before they book. Here are the answers, start to finish. - [Bröllopsfotograf Åbo](https://nordicaphotography.com/brollopsfotograf-abo/): Bröllopsfotograf i Åbo - [Bröllopsfotograf Gävle](https://nordicaphotography.com/brollopsfotograf-gavle/): Bröllopsfotograf i Gävle - [Bröllopsfotograf Göteborg](https://nordicaphotography.com/brollopsfotograf-goteborg/): Bröllopsfotograf i Göteborg - [Bröllopsfotograf Halmstad](https://nordicaphotography.com/brollopsfotograf-halmstad/): Bröllopsfotograf i Halmstad - [Bröllopsfotograf Helsingfors](https://nordicaphotography.com/brollopsfotograf-helsingfors/): Bröllopsfotograf i Helsingfors - [Bröllopsfotograf i Köpenhamn](https://nordicaphotography.com/bryllupsfotograf-i-kopenhamn/): Bröllopsfotograf i Köpenhamn ## Stories - [Michelle & Pietro](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/michelle-pietro/) - [Sarah & Neil](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/sarah-neil/) - [Matt & Matt](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/matt-matt/) - [Peter & Moa](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/peter-moa/) - [Justyna & Jarrod](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/justyna-jarrod/) - [Ines & Michi](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/ines-michi/) - [Adriana + Ondrej](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/adriana-ondrej/) - [Erika & Romain](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/erika-romain/) - [Sophia & Tanveer](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/sophia-tanveer/) - [Celine & Ben](https://nordicaphotography.com/stories/celine-ben/) ## Nordica Story - [Sweden.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/sweden/): In the beginning, there was Sweden. Jakob and Cole met and connected at business school over spreadsheets and strong beer, but not photography. The friends both graduated and Cole moved back to Vancouver, Canada. - [Seeing the world, telling stories, and making people happy.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/seeing-the-world-telling-stories-and-making-people-happy/): Just like good business people, they built a case for what to do with their lives, boiling it down to: Seeing the world, telling stories, and making people happy. And so, Nordica Photography was born. - [Honing the craft.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/honing-the-craft/): Cole and Jakob were fully committed and full-time from day one. It was ‘learn as much as they can’, anywhere anytime. The Winter Olympics, headshots, products, fashion, weddings – point, shoot and discover – it was all about honing the craft. No gig was too small. No hand was left unshook. - [Momentum.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/momentum/): The momentum started to build with Nordica’s first destination wedding in Mexico. It was quickly followed by going to Iceland, twice. The contrast, adventure and satisfaction with visually telling those stories made it abundantly clear this was exactly what Cole and Jakob had been hoping for. - [The adventure continues.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/the-adventure-continues/): More adventures, and more stories. Jakob lived out of a suitcase all over Europe and Africa, capturing weddings and immersing himself in the different locales, to weave distinctive narratives for each couple. With 50% of the weddings being destination shoots, Jakob moved back to Sweden to make the traveling more manageable. - [The return to Sweden.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/the-return-to-sweden/): Jakob and Cole began receiving invitations to speak at photographer conferences. The talks remain great ways to connect with other professionals and share better techniques to get the story right. At this point, 75% of the weddings were destination shoots. Cole decided to make Sweden his home base as well. - [Settled but not stationary.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/settled-but-not-stationary/): The pair settled into Scandinavian life, Jakob in Stockholm and Cole a couple of hours north of there in Gävle, enjoying time with their families when not on the go. - [Adding new focus.](https://nordicaphotography.com/nordica_story/adding-new-focus/): Cole and Jakob founded ‘Way Up North’, the first wedding photography conference in Northern Europe, putting together a stellar line-up of internationally renowned wedding shooters.
