{Denise+Mats} Pre-Wedding Preview

This weekend was amazing! My wedding season started on Saturday with a Stadshuset wedding ceremony between Mina and Raj, an adorable British couple (previews coming soon!!!), followed by a SUPER pre-wedding shoot yesterday at Sollentuna together with Lisa from Leya Photographers.

We’ll create a gorgeous fusion film for Denise + Mats’ wedding later on May and yesterday we got to visit the location and experiment a little. I did some timelapses, slow-motions and many incredible backlight shots… Couldn’t resist waiting any longer! Here are some stills from their pre-wedding film!

Wedding Giveaway Results

I can’t believe this day has arrived! Time to announce the winners of my first annual Wedding Cinematography Giveaway!

I would like to thank everyone that took the time to write to me telling your BEAUTIFUL love stories, introducing yourselves as individuals and LOVING couples to me, attaching your photos… I really appreciate your time and consideration. When I started this giveaway, 3 months ago, I was afraid it was going to be a huge failure, no one was going to write to me and I would forever feel depressed. I couldn’t be more wrong! The response was great and I’ve had more subscriptions than I could ever dream of!

There were romantic garden barbecues, vintage countryside weddings, members of the British mustache society, a ceremony on a boat, DIY weddings… I’m amazed at how creative people are those days and I honestly think it is fantastic to mix a little bit of tradition with a lot of yourself on your wedding day. It is YOUR day after all and it should be a reflection of who you truly are. It was hard to choose one winner, because I would honestly love to be a part of all of those weddings, to film every single bit of uniqueness and document the most romantic day of your lives :)

And because I am full of surprises, here comes one more: it was SO hard to choose one winner, that we ended up choosing TWO! Oh yeah! Jaanus and I really identified ourselves with those two love stories we picked and we are honored to be a part of those persons day. So let’s meet the two lucky couples who are getting a complete wedding cinematography coverage with us as a very special wedding gift!

 

{Elsa & Joel}

Wedding Giveaway 2013 - Wedding Cinematography / Fusion Photography - Stockholm , Sweden (2)

Elsa & Joel are definitely an inspiring couple! They met when they were teenagers and are together for good. They describe themselves as a loving couple and they mention in their letter how supportive they are, how they are always there for each other, how much they are growing together. And how much they enjoy spending time together, even if it’s just sitting together in front of the TV. And how calm they are, although they love travelling and going on adventures… They are getting married in Dalarna and it will be a lovely countryside wedding with a little vintage touch. And guess what? Elsa is a photographer too! Oh my, I was sold! We love you, guys!

 

{Ulrika & John}

Wedding Giveaway 2013 - Wedding Cinematography / Fusion Photography - Stockholm , Sweden (1)

Ulrika and John-Henrik know how to enjoy life. They are travelers, adventurers, gourmands, the perfect opposites complementing each other. She is full of emotions and he is quite mathematical. She sees the whole picture, he dives into the details. Big identification here :) They are getting married in Södermalm, which just happens to be my favorite neighborhood in Stockholm (oh, those hipsters!).  The bride will be wearing an original 1950′s vintage dress and the whole family is involved in this DIY wedding. We will love to be a part of this story too!

And finally, I want to say a big Thank You to all of you who took the time to write to us but were not picked. We loved your stories and would be delighted to be a part of your wedding day too! We have a nice offer for you, we’ll send an email with more details :)

Puss och Kram!

Astro & his (litter)mates

Those days this blog is all about dogs! It feels so amazing to have Astro home but, honestly, it is a loooot of woooork to take care of him. Every day we get to learn him more, so it gets a little better. How ever, everyday HE gets to know US a little more and he definitely uses this to his advantage!!! Well, here is a short Fusion film edited using some photos and videos I captured during that visit to the kennel. I know, it’s been almost 3 weeks already but I figured it’s never too late to share some puppy cuteness!

Puss och Kram!
