Last Saturday it was time for a wedding in the archipelago, when Peter's niece Dessi finally got married to her husband Lasse. We were there as guests, but also as wedding photographers. Here is a small sample of the pictures and a few words about the wedding and the boat trip up to the big wedding party.
Wedding photography
Before the wedding ceremony, Peter and I had the opportunity to go away with the bride and groom for wedding photography. We went first to a scenic area by a jetty and then to a small beach with rocks. There were both romantically beautiful photos and more playful pictures, as Dessi and Lasse are a spontaneous and lovely couple, who are close to fun and mischief. It is important to take pictures that are not only beautiful, but also personal.
We won't show all the photos here. Some pictures will be given to the bride and groom all to themselves. But you will (with Dessi's and Lasse's permission of course) get a look at some of them. Do you like our pictures and need help with wedding photography on occasion? We thought this was super fun, and would love to do it again!
Wedding and boat trip to the party
After the photo shoot, it was time for the wedding in Blidö Church. It was a nice and joyful ceremony, with singing, poetry reading and happy closing music that the bride and groom and the guests almost danced to. A boat was waiting outside the church and the bride and groom travelled by water to their property, where the big party would take place. Dessi and Lasse have built their own house on Dessi's parents' summer cottage plot and live here permanently.
Around 80 guests were waiting in the grounds to throw rice at the bride and groom, and then it was time for... the party of the century! It's unbelievable how you can organise such a big party in the middle of the archipelago and make all the details work: a beautifully decorated tent, a luxurious 4-course dinner, speeches and spex, games, quirky surprises, a choreographed waltz and an all-night party with a DJ. We'll show you photos from the party and tell you more tomorrow!

It's almost as if I feel it's a shame that I'm already married... 😉.

Ama de casa, yes haha. It seems wonderful to have a wedding like this, but I don't think I would be able to organise it... 😉.

The travel dream, thank you very much!
Rolle and Carina, thank you! We were really grateful that the weather was nice that day!

What a lovely wedding and in this wonderful setting!
The love shines around the lovely couple and I think you have captured both beautiful and vibrant images.
The picture of the bride and groom standing in the bow of the boat is so delicious!

Understand that it went fast to snap so many pictures. Nice bridal couple and beautiful weather. And a talented photographer behind the camera... Super nice pictures friends?

Rantamor on the retina says:
Such lovely pictures of the bride and groom,
Two years ago I also had the honour of photographing a wedding couple, and spend the whole day with the bride on hair and make-up and made a photo book for them as a gift, was really proud of the book, my first, and the bride and groom were so happy.
A nice day all round.
Since I saw the entire wedding through the camera lens, I managed to avoid crying rivers (my nephew who got married)....

Znogge, thank you! And don't you just love weddings?
Lennart, thank you! Glad you like them!
Ditte, it was really cool to see the bridal couple when they arrived standing in the boat like that! 🙂
Then, yes oh yes, there were many pictures! 😉
Rantamor, what fun that you also photographed weddings! But I can understand that, you take such fantastic pictures! We have talked about a photo book, but maybe the bride and groom can do it themselves. In any case, we have spent the whole day today sorting and editing pictures 😉.
Nilla, it really is a day of joy! And we were very happy for the nice weather! It didn't feel safe at all, so to speak 😉.
Lena, it was an honourable mission indeed! We hope they will be satisfied!
Matts, thank you, it's great to hear that you think so!

What fun that you have also been to a wedding! And great pictures! Just as you write, you want the pictures to be personal too, not just nice. Just Blidö we go to every summer and visit acquaintances, very nice there. I acted as a wedding photographer a couple of years ago (http://miasmix.blogg.se/2013/july/brollop.html) and now my daughter wants me to photograph her wedding next year. I have said yes, but will be very nervous to fail.

Crazy nice pictures! You get so happy to see them!

BP says:
Assuming that Peter has taken most of the photos. Ever since I saw his photo of the wedding couple he took in Croatia (I think it was), I realise that he can really capture the right moments. If, contrary to expectations, it was you who held the camera here - so much praise!
I especially like the first picture and the one under the "tree portal". It is my favourite!

Mias Mix, how fun that you have acquaintances on Blidö! 🙂 Fantastically nice wedding pictures you have taken! You really do not have to be afraid to fail!!!
Annika, weddings are joy! 🙂
BP, these particular photos are actually mine, but on the other hand, it was largely Peter who directed the bride and groom 😉 He took perhaps even better photos, but I didn't have time to look through them yesterday 😉 He also took nice photos of the bride and groom ON the boat (he went in the boat and I stood on land).

Oh what fantastic wedding pictures, wonderful. Several people have written about weddings this summer. So fun to go to a wedding. Is eight years ago now, when I married my oldest daughter, many hugs to you.

Dessi & Lasse says:
From the bride and groom:
We are delighted that Peter and Helena accepted the assignment.
It's probably not easy, especially when it comes to your niece's wedding day. In short, WE LOVE YOU!

Lovely happy pictures! As a wedding should be. Fun with the boat too 😉 I will photograph my first bridal couple this weekend and it will be so nice!

Kicki, I have also seen that many have written about weddings this year. Sooo wonderful to be part of!
Dessi and Lasse, thank you! It was very fun to act as wedding photographers and we really hope that you will be happy with the pictures!
Wilda, it's great that you'll be photographing weddings too! Good luck to you!
