I’m so humbled to be shortlisted at The UK Wedding Awards 2016 as Best Wedding Photographer. Even though I’m choosing to take on a lot smaller number of weddings these days, I still love wedding photography passionately and it’s definitely a huge honour to have been shortlisted, especially when the organisers include top UK wedding magazines who… Keep Reading
Wishing you the warmest Christmas time!
Christmas sneaked up on me this year and I have to admit I completely failed at everything, from not managing to send Christmas cards to not having the energy to plan any fancy decorations. I only put a few simple things up, with some twinkly lights and my new favourite snow globe, but it turns… Keep Reading
Cornwall, we’re on our way!
Once in a while you come across a place where you feel like your soul is at home. You might be thousands of miles from where you ever thought you’d end up, but you just feel at peace. For me that feeling has always been strongest in Cornwall. The wild ocean and the rugged, majestic… Keep Reading
Wishing you the Merriest of Christmas!
It seems like Christmas hurtled towards us at such speed this year that I nearly missed the whole darned thing. Alas, I am switching off from everything for a few days now. I hope you’ll have a wonderful Christmas, and a super relaxing break. See you on the flipside! Here are Astrid & Sofia, getting into the… Keep Reading
Letting go of clutter & keeping good memories
I’ve been on a bit of an office de-cluttering kick (you can see my inspiration board de-cluttering over at Her Lovely Heart), and one of the things I did was to find all the hard copies of magazines with my work in, which were taking up shelf space in the office. It seemed crazy to… Keep Reading
Live What You Love Workshop Class of July 2014
The idea for the Live What You Love workshops came not from looking out into the future trying to figure out the next big idea, but rather looking inwards and really listening to what kind of environment I myself would most like to learn, or teach, in. With the previous iteration of my workshop, mnoo… Keep Reading
Brightening up a rainy day
I am so excited that the David Austin roses I planted in the garden a couple of years ago are starting to settle into their home. The bushes still look a bit scraggy out there, but having flowers like this inside from your own garden just puts a huge smile on my face. I grew… Keep Reading
Merry Christmas!
Admittedly it came around way faster this year than ever before, but alas, the time is here again when our household takes a few days off from the world of computers in order to concentrate on all things Christmassy. I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone of you the loveliest… Keep Reading
Life {as an Artform} London 2013
This post comes a bit later than it should, as for some reason I just didn’t get around to sorting out my pictures from Life {as an artform}, which I hosted again this year, until now. Looking at the images of the frosty conditions we had at the beginning of April makes me feel like it… Keep Reading
Farewell, Carolyn
This is a hard post to write. It’s a post that among all the happiness and good news that usually abound in my little corner of the internet, cuts straight through to the core of it all and brings me to my knees. The other week, on the train back from Paris, an email from… Keep Reading
Wishing you a magical Christmas time!
It’s time for us to power down at MTP headquarters and concentrate on baking, relaxing, eating too much, and spending some quality time with loved ones. I’m very much looking forward to putting my feet up for a bit and enjoying it all. I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone… Keep Reading
Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography 2012
Fanfare, please! It is such a relief to finally be able to share these big news. When I found out over a month ago that I had been chosen to be featured as one of Rangefinder Magazine’s ’30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography’, I was pretty gobsmacked and so very honoured. Unfortunately I was under… Keep Reading
Life {as an artform} London 2012
Before I leave for today’s wedding, I just want to hold last week in my mind one last time. This was the third Life {As an Artform} workshop I attended, and the second time I helped to host it in London. Every year it becomes clearer to me how each workshop is really moulded by… Keep Reading
Merry Christmas!
The time has almost come again when our household takes a few days off from the world of computers in order to focus on all things Christmassy. My mum is flying over from Finland as we speak, and I’m really looking forward to three days of festivities that will follow, it’s been too many years… Keep Reading
Everyday magic
While on the beautiful island of Malta in September, I woke up on the morning of Andrea & Sean’s wedding day with that feeling of being very glad to be alive. All these thoughts poured out of me while the sun was teasing its way into the hotel room from underneath the curtains. I grabbed… Keep Reading
The Winner – Best Wedding Photographer, London And South East
So I was away on a blissfully lovely long weekend to Venice when I found out the news about me being a regional winner in The 2012 Wedding Industry Awards. My little mind was pretty much blown. I can’t begin to tell you what an honour it is to achieve such a title, especially seeing… Keep Reading
The why of it all
A few weeks ago someone challenged me to dig deep and figure out my why. Why I’m a photographer, and why I feel it’s meaningful and worthwhile to run a photography business. It’s taken me a while to put this post together, partly because I wrote the first draft by hand into my notebook. In… Keep Reading
Hello world
Hey hey, it’s been a while! During the past month I’ve had some precious time to myself in order to prepare for all that’s coming my way this year. At the end of last year we moved house & office, and it’s only now that all the work we’ve put in updating the place is… Keep Reading
Merry Christmas!
Christmas is traditionally computer-free time in our household, and I think the only way to drag me away and stop me from doing something work-related, is to turn the computer off a bit earlier this year. Yes, I think the time has come to fully concentrate on getting into the spirit of the season. I… Keep Reading
How time flies
Today is the day when three years ago, after 8 years together, we finally became husband and wife. I really can’t believe how it’s been so long since the wedding already… Happy wedding anniversary darling, here’s to many more adventures! x Photo by the always amazing Johanna Myllymäki.
