London | Stockholm | Oslo | Wedding Photographers

Yesterday we had our rehearsal in Stockholm with Anna and Julian.

This wedding is going to be made in heaven. Anna & Julian's fun and energetic personalities are equally matched and they are completely suited for each other - being around this couple for just 5 minutes will put you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Anna is also a wedding photographer and is just recently back from a destination wedding in Rome. It is an honour to be given the opportunity to photograph a colleagues wedding ... perhaps a little scary as well.

Their wedding will be held at Parken III a small oasis found on Södermalm, Stockholm. We are all hoping for good weather in which case their ceremony will be held outdoors in the park. In the early part of the evening they will have friends playing in a Jazz band, later the disco ball will probably see some action as the party gets under way.

Today is St. George's day and all over England the Cross of St George will be flown to celebrate England’s Patron Saint.

Alette & Chris were married on Saturday, they had a great fun wedding.
The civil ceremony was held in the Iron Mongers Hall, a fantastic building that has also been featured in one of Harry Potter's films. Whilst Aletta got ready at the RAC Club Chris and his best men got ready at the Hall, they had good fun and the banter and jokes were coming fast - you could tell that these friends had known each other a long time.

Aletta looked beautiful and the magnificent surroundings set the scene as she and her father entered the hall proceeded by her bridesmaids (Sister ... and wedding cake maker) and 2 young nieces.

Two London Routemaster buses and a London taxi waited outside the hall, it was an impressive sight to see them lined up decorated with white ribbons. Whilst the busses took their guests on a sightseeing tour we took the taxi to a couple of locations for some portraits.

The reception was held at the 100 year old RAC Club on Pall Mall, another wonderful location.
One guest wore a Kimono and another wore a Kilt it reflected that their guests had come from many countries to celebrate their wedding. Many Swedes were also at the wedding and in their honour part of Chris's speech was held in Swedish.

Aletta and Chris had been secretly taking lessons for their first dance and they performed it magnificently to the delight of their friends and family. I noticed Chris's mum looked very proud as she saw her son gracefully guide his new bride across the dance floor in a routine that would have given them full points on Strictly Come Dancing.

We are moving to London.
After a lot of planning it is now 'official' that we are moving to London. Our business remains exactly the same and all that changes is that we will fly in for our Swedish weddings instead of flying into London as we do today, we will still have our Stockholm office.

They say the longest journey begins with the first step ... in my case it was the first kilometre.
In preparing for our move to England I have just been over to the UK and brought a car and drove it the long way back to Sweden via France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Denmark.
It was a long 2 day drive of 2,140 kilometres (1,330 miles). The fun part was taking the car under the English Channel on the Euro Tunnel, the boring part was standing still on the German Autobahn in a traffic jam for 2 hours ... and the relief part was that my Volvo made it without any incidents.
