We’ve been friends with Kristi and Lauri for 10 years (well, Sigrid, for a little longer, but in our age who’s counting anyways!). It has been one hell of a decade to look back on, both in the lives of these two troopers as well as our own. We’re all married (finally :D)! We’ve grown into responsible adult status – some better than others! Our hair colour and interests have changed, but there are things that will hopefully stay the […]
We spent quite some time getting to Kökar, as mentioned in the previous post, and saw the Åland archipelago and its magnificence from a number of angles and Kökar stood out. It is one big pile of naked gray rock – no beach, bits of forest – but a lot of emotions. First, the winds that welcome you by blowing from different angles. Then the vistas – one seascape following another, not to mention the tiny little red boathouses that […]
[intro]If you don’t have a sailboat or a friend that owns one, it takes the better part of 2 days to get to Kökar from Estonia. It’s a 2,5h ferry ride away from the Finnish mainland, same from the main islands of Åland.[/intro] But it was totally worth it. If you are looking for cliff-lined vistas and hidden beaches, this is the place. This is part 1 of the story of Mikaela & Patrik. The island is where Patrik spent […]

On one of those evenings our dedicated crew of two set out for a pre-wedding shoot. Having reached the designated spot we were met by a stunning view while a certain air of adventure a.k.a horse poop reminded us to watch our step. And then there were the […]
Meet 3 adventurous souls – Jenni, Toni and Muru, the pitbull. All looking fab and in love. We’ll be getting back to the Espoo seaside to shoot Jenni & Toni’s wedding at the beginning of August. Counting the days. Spring brings out the best in Nordic people. You know the feeling the first days of spring give you when you have to open the front of your jacket, not to get too warm. The sun makes everyone and enerything fresh, […]
I’m happy to say we NEARLY got lost on the twisting roads of Nuuksio, before we met Carly & Jussi. Nearly. They met at the London 2012 Olympics. Apparently there was an orchestra to mark the occasion – one member from each of the countries participating at the Games. Carly plays the French horn and Jussi is a percussionist. It’s obvious that Nuuksio is a place to go if rugged forest-filled terrain, lakes and pathways are what you are in […]
