Ever since I was a kid, I had a camera in hand, fascinated by the power of capturing moments. But it was in 2009, when I photographed my sister’s wedding, that everything clicked — I knew I wanted to become a professional wedding photographer. Determined to turn my passion into a career, I enrolled at the Photo Academy in the Netherlands, where I honed my craft and developed the distinctive documentary style that defines my work today. Over the years, my love for storytelling has only grown. Besides photography, I also film weddings — often managing multiple cameras and drones simultaneously to ensure no moment is missed. What makes my work even more special is that couples can book an additional second shooter — my talented girlfriend. Together, we make a true dream team, blending creativity, connection, and teamwork to capture every unforgettable moment.
Photo Description
Lapland, Finland You’d never guess it was minus 35 degrees looking at this heartwarming couple, but it truly was. We were incredibly lucky to witness the magical aurora lighting up the sky during their unforgettable wedding near Ivalo, in the heart of Lapland. Their love warmed even the coldest night.
