Ceremony And Portraits

We had portrait photo session earlier in the week before the wedding ceremony. It started to rain just before shooting so we started photographing in a barn. Rain wasn’t any more so hard so we went to a wet barley field.

Portraits

It was very hot and shiny when we had meeting before the wedding day. Weather changed much in the wedding day. It was almost cold and sun was hiding strictly behind the clouds. But it was very good for taking portraits on location. It wasn’t need to worry about sun direction. We had a nice portrait session near Kuopio in Syvänniemi.

Elsku and Janne had winter wedding in January. But it was not so wintery conditions until just before the wedding day. There was just enough snow for getting winter wedding portraits in Maikkulan kartano. Wedding ceremony was held in Oulujoki church and we came back to Maikkulan kartano having the reception. Place is very nice for having a big wedding party.

Emilia and Jussi had a fantastic day end of the May. Sun was shining and it was pretty warm but not hot. Hard sun light made my life a bit harder but I trusted that I can survive with my gear and I did. For wedding portrait we needed to had a small location scouting for preventing bright light closing couple’s eyes.

Ceremony And Portraits

Wedding day in July so weather is to be expected nice and warm. But when Johanna and Jani were aimed to get married it wasn’t so warm and it was rainy also. Luckily rain showers were gone just before wedding ceremony which was held in Lumijoki church. Church is very big and beautiful place. It was my first attempt to try a drone as part of wedding photography.

Kristiina and Sampo got themselves end of the autumn and it was a bit challenging. I had a plan to shoot portraits in Kempele in Vihiluoto harbour. Weather was pretty cold, just couple of degrees above zero. I had enough warm clothes so it wasn’t a big problem to the photographer. But Kristiina and Sampo hadn’t so thick clothes and I think they didn’t feel so warm.

Marianna and Mikko said ”I will” 18 June 2016 in Oulu Cathedral. We started photographing portraits couple of the hours before that in Villa Hannala. It was rainy day so we were forced to use plan b and had a terrace for shooting and keeping ourselves dry. Rain stopped before the ceremony so everybody could enjoy the summer on it’s best.

Pirjo and Ville had a nice autumn day on the day when they said: “I do”. Wedding ceremony was held in Sotkamo church. We took portraits after then wedding ceremony in Hirvensaari. Haapala BnB was a great place to have wedding reception. Food was extremely good, and people were happy

Ceremony And Portraits

Temperature was -17 °C. Light was incredibly beautiful, and I wanted to get at least couple of the shots outside. It was good decision, and we got the shots that was expected. Wedding ceremony was held in Restaurant Kummisetä.

Ceremony And Portraits

-13 °C of frost. Seaside. Wind. What a combination for wedding portrait session. I feel comfortable with my jacket, but young couple wasn’t so lucky with their thin clothes. We managed to get shots quickly and then drove to Keminmaa to a small shingle church. Wedding ceremony was held there and it was pretty challenging place for photographer. There weren’t much light and light was different in every corner.
