Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Carolina and Jake in their garden in Tullinge. They are getting married in June and this was their engagement session which is included in many of my wedding packages. So, my first photo shoot since I was pregnant with Alice…actually my first session since 2nd July last year! That’s 9 months ago! I was nervous and up late!  argh! But you what? I came away after our 40 minutes together feeling great! I knew I had gotten some lovely shots of Carolina and Jake together. I had gotten to know them a little better and got to know a little more of who they are as couple and how they are best photographed. Now I can’t wait to shoot them on their wedding day in June!

I also took some lovely photos of their 3 girls which I’ll blog a little later!

Wedding favourites 2010-1011

This weekend I Nina and Fredriks wedding photographer! After their lovely engagement shoot I was so looking forward to this day. The setting was at Djurönäset, a little outside Stockholm…the perfect archepelago setting. The location, the rooms, the staff were all lovely. Most importantly though, Nina and Fredrik were beaming happiness, bliss, love. They were just perfect! So, here are just a few of my favourites from their portrait session!

This was my last wedding of the year. Boo hoo. I am now 5 months pregnant and the pelvic girdle pains are causing too much pain and difficulty to continue. Since I suffered similar problems during my last pregnancy I could make the cancellations necessary in good time and help all my late Summer couples find amazing alternative photographers. I’m going to be missing out on loads of beautiful weddings but I’ll be following lots of blogs looking out for ‘my’ couples!! So, with this, my last wedding of the year I had the assistance of Özgür who was brilliant in lugging my heavy bag around! Thank you so much!

To my followers, don’t fret, I will still be blogging, although not over these next few weeks while I take some vacation. I have a few things left in the pipeline and eventually photos of our baby girl (so they tell us) when she shows up in the Autumn!

Denna helg var jag bröllopsfotograf åt Nina och Fredrik och det var underbart! Jag fotograferade de på vigselplatset, Djurönäset, utanför Stockholm.

Last weekend I photographed this beautiful and stylish couples wedding at Karlbergs Slott, in central Stockholm. I have photographed many families in the Slott park but never a bridal couple so I was thrilled when they wanted me to document their special day.

Following tradition the groom arrived with the bridalbouquet in hand ready for a their First Look. I love it when a couple chooses this and almost all of ‘my’ couples do and they love it! I think I captured the grooms look of joy perfectly as he turned to face his beautiful bride for the first time!

This was the most beautiful viel ever, a Spanish viel I think it’s called, and we had just a little breeze…and the help of Gisela to capture these lovely shots!

I don’t normally post so many individual shots but this bride is just so stunning I couldn’t help myself!

This Saturday was the kind of days all brides dream about when they plan their wedding… blue skies and all the sun you can imagine! It was perfect. For us photographers it is a challenge to find nice soft light, but I managed…mostly!

My second shooter, Cherrie, and I arrived at Noors Slott to photograph the last of Angelika and Johnnies preparations…this means getting dressed! This is a big deal for any bride. It’s a magical moment when you put on that very special gown. Suddenly it’s real, it’s now! You’re getting married to the man of your dreams today! I remember the feeling so well!

For Jonnie’s getting ready pictures you’ll have to take a look at Cherrie’s blog in a few days!

I just love the lighting in this photo!

An emotional first look at eachother!

Angelika and Johnnie’s ceremony was outdoors under an avenue of trees. Beautiful! At the end of their ceremony several of their guests sang together each standing up in turn. It was soooo beautiful! I can’t tell you how much, other than that it was a good job my lens had vibration reduction because my eyes poored and my hands shook!

I helgen var jag bröllopsfotograf på Noors Slott. Det var en fantastsik dag och en ära att fota underbara Angelika and Johnnies stora dag.

>This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Ricky and Susann and the christening of their little Liam at Hagabergs kapell in Södertälje. This blog post is all about the wedding and another will follow shortly with my favourites from the christening!

Susann and Ricky don’t need any introduction since I posted about them recently with the engagement photos! Needless to say, I was SOOO looking forward to seeing them on Saturday. The first time I got to see them was actually as they entered the church while the bells rang. I was sat in the aisle waiting for the first shot. I was the first of everyone in the church to see them and my eyes filled with tears. They were so beautiful!!

Since Susann and Rickys wedding was also a christening, they decided to do away with the evening reception which meant NO FIRST DANCE!!! I just couldn’t have that!… so with the help of Spotify and Annas iphone we downloaded my all time favourite song (More than Words by Extreme) and ta da… the perfect first dance at the waters edge! …More crying and stunning photographs!

Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer! It was a fabulous day! And huge thanks to Anna for second shooting and holding reflectors perfectly! (Keep an eye out on her blog for her version on this lovely wedding day!)
As a little extra something special I have even prepared a slideshow coving the events of the day! I hope you enjoy!

(For all photographers out there, I have edited these photos in Lightroom only and made the slideshow using Showit Web.)

>I’ve had such an amazing day! I’ve been at a workshop with Joe Buissink organised by Scandinavian Photo. It’s been a day full of emotions, tips of different photography techniques and quite simply bursting with inspiration! Taking shelter from the hail and snow (I know it’s May!) we had a shoot with beautiful bridal models to put into action our new found ideas! I even borrowed a 70-200mm lens from Nikon which I loved!!

I have so many things in the pipe line, I’m so behind with my blogging! I have a fantastic engagement session to share, photos of Oskar and his new second cousin (sysling for your Swedes reading) and photos from another great workshop with Benny Ottosson and not to mention this weekends coming wedding!!… but for now, here a few of the days favourites with my time with the lovely Jessica!

>This weekend I photographed my first wedding of the season!

Jenny and Niclas had warm weather and sunshine which just a week before we would have thought only possible in dreams! It was the perfect day for Jenny and Niclas to finally get married after 17 years together!
They had a simple wedding ceremony at Stockholm Stadshuset (town hall) which is a beautiful location!

…since I love photographing children too I had to get some individual shots of their 3 beautiful boys Emil 8, Ludvig 6 and Hugo 2! Aren’t they just the cutest in their 3 piece suits!

>I usually blog my favourite photos soon after a shoot, usually a few weeks before my clients see their entire selection. Jessica and Magnus have finally, after such a hard decsision, picked out their favourites and thankyou cards (I’ll share these with you once their guests have received them!). Anyway, These 2 lovely moments caught were amoungst their favourites which I have just this evening converted to this beautiful soft toned black and white. I don’t know how I missed these the first time!

So, now your pictures are ready Jessica and Magnus, we’re just waiting on the arrival of you book and cards!

Jag älskar mitt jobb som bröllopsfotograf i Stockholm och Skåne! Detta bröllop var i Stockholm i sommras!

>HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY COUPLES, FAMILIES AND READERS!

What a year 2010 has been! It’s been the most exciting year ever watching both Oskar and my company grow more than I imagined!

I’ve recently been invited to join the exclusive group of Swedens best wedding photographers at brollopsfotografer.com! It’s such an honour and I look forward to shooting even more weddings this year all over Sweden! The lovely little 3D book on this site links directly to an example wedding coffeetable book which are included in 2 of my standard packages this year!

I’ve loved shooting every one of my wedding couples and families and am so excited for all the people I will meet in 2011…as well as meeting all of my returning clients again! I have enjoyed running my business so much that I’m no longer running Lindholm Photography on evenings and weekends but am now dedicating 2 weekdays per week to it so I hope to have even more time for shooting!

To round up last year I thought I’d share a ‘best of weddings 2010’ slideshow. There are loads of previously unseen photos here as well as favourites I have already shared on my blog. I hope you enjoy!

Another slideshow with my ‘2010 family favourites’ will come soon with a facebook competition. So come back on my blog for details in a few days!
Jag älskar mitt jobb som bröllopsfotograf i Stockholm och Skåne! I helgen har jag fotat en hel del bröllopspar och familj och det har varit riktigt roligt! Jag älskar barn- och familjefotograferingoch fota över hela landet men gärna mer uppdrag i Skåne och Stockholm!
