Lofoten Wedding Photographer // Siri & Seb

Lofoten Wedding Photographer

The story how Siri and Sebastian’s wedding came about goes back to 2014, which could be noted as the start of our journey as a Lofoten wedding photographer. NRK (Norway’s national broadcasting network) ran shared Siri and Eric’s Lofoten elopement. It’s a bit of a mystery how that happened, since we don’t typically consider ourselves as a Lofoten wedding photographer.

Luckily for us, Sebastian saw the story and started following Nordica. He’s an excellent photographer himself, so it was cool to have him show personnel interest in our work.

Time moved along, and it was time for Siri and Sebastian to plan their own wedding. So we’re thankful for that story back in 2014, because this wedding was one of the best we have photographed.

We’re lucky to have been to Lofoten many times over the years for weddings and workshops. Never have we experienced an authentic, local wedding there though. Siri and Sebastian are from the area they married, which added an authentic touch to the story.

Nusfjord Arctic Resort Wedding

The wedding took place at Nusfjord Arctic Resort, a restored fishing village on the southern coast of Flakstadøya. Nusfjord is one of the oldest and best-preserved fishing villages in Norway, with traditional red rorbuer cabins lining a narrow inlet. The setting is intimate by nature, and Siri and Sebastian used it to its full potential. The ceremony, the dinner, and the celebration all happened within the village, with the mountains and the fjord as the backdrop. As a Lofoten wedding photographer, this is the kind of location that makes the islands extraordinary: the landscape does not compete with the celebration, it holds it.

Why Lofoten for a Wedding

Lofoten sits above the Arctic Circle off the northwest coast of Norway, and the landscape is defined by dramatic peaks rising straight from the sea, sheltered bays, and fishing villages that have existed for centuries. In summer, the midnight sun means the light never fully fades, which opens up possibilities for late-night portraits that would be impossible anywhere further south. Siri and Sebastian’s wedding made the most of this, and some of the strongest images from the day came well after midnight when the light turned soft and golden across the water. For couples considering a destination wedding in Lofoten, the combination of natural beauty and genuine Norwegian culture is hard to match anywhere in the world.

If you are planning a wedding or elopement in Lofoten, get in touch. We have photographed in the islands many times and know the locations, the light, and the logistics well.
