aka A day’s world of oblivion, Guy 25

A couple of days ago I wrote about the beautiful sunset over Seurasaari. The same day I shot this sunset I also had the privilege of shooting the wedding of a wonderful Finnish/Japanese couple. The church ceremony was in Temppeliaukionkirkko (where I went scouting on Day 9) in Helsinki. I also went scouting on Seurasaari and both days I went scouting the weather was dreadful. I was preparing for a lot of improvisation, but lucky for the couple getting married, but also very lucky for me, the weather turned around 180 degrees despite the forecasts for more rain. The day of the wedding was a glorious day in many ways.

And I was the lucky photographer, who was invited home to the couple twice -before and after the wedding- to enjoy a fabulous Japanese dinner. I almost feel guilty charging them for the shoot. A great experience it was!

aka A guy’s world of oblivion, Day 17…

Weddings always make for good pictures. And there’s a good chance there’ll be a bunch of kids around to liven the place up 😉

with a clear blue sky, a field of bright yellow rapeseed, a beautiful bride and an even so beautiful groom.

Don’t you just love the contrast with the white, red and yellow? 🙂

And then there was of course the bride’s and groom’s son and one of the best men:

It tells a story, that picture. Maybe not the story of a wedding, but a story nonetheless. One of my absolute favorites of the day. Together with this one:

I was really pleased with the last one. The whole day he seemed to be aware of “the Photographer”. When I had him in the viewfinder he either would look/turn away or make a funny face. Here I caught him off-guard 🙂

I had the privilege to shoot the wedding of two great individuals.
Refreshingly easy-going with their own creative ideas, but not stuck them (or on their mothers-in-law’s ideas) 😉

Helsinki has a stack of great locations to do weddings and aside the more traditional, like Hotel Kämp with its gorgeous red carpeted stairs we also went to the little less traditional former jail – now hotel / restaurant- Jailbird with an old isolation cell still in tact.

Traditional:

D200, ISO100, 1/90 sec @ f/8, Tamron 28-75mm, two remote flashes SB-800 with Photoflex softbox
