Images can remind us of—
who we are and who we can be
—an everlasting
replay of memories.
Photography to me, is a way of being in the world, to expand myself and to share how I perceive this life. It’s a practice of paying attention and to be present. To see past the ordinary and mundane, to the sublime or what might otherwise be invisible.
I see photography as part art, part craft, forged into an authentic expression. My work is a reflection of my inner and outer world. If you find yourself drawn to my work, it's likely because you recognize certain aspects of yourself within it.
Images can remind us of who we are and who we can be. I'm privileged to have met people along the way that feel a genuine connection to me and what I capture.
However you found me, I'm glad you're here… Take a look around, get to know me, my work...
hopefully we can
create something
Beautiful Together
Testimonials
When I'm not third wheeling at a wedding, you can find me being and doing. Searching for beauty. Seeking stories. Pursuing peace.
a blurb about me
I am not so special from anyone else. That first cup of coffee in the morning in bed while reading a book, with my husband and our two cats next to me, is life to me. Born in Latvia and raised in Sweden from age ten I today call Sweden my home.
The human, partner, and artist I've become today I owe much to my background as a circus performer for nineteen years(!), but also my parents and my husband, Patrik, who serves as my co-pilot and unwavering supporter in all aspects of life.
Since we met on Tinder at his singles' party on Valentine's Day, he's unlocked a corner of my mind that invites growth, challenges, understanding & authenticity. Simply his presence brings me back to the now and embrace both the highs and lows of life with acceptance. He’s an artist in his own unique way. Proposing to him after seven months together was a bold move, and I'm glad I did.
I love scents that evoke memories and emotions, aesthetics, ocean air, minimal architecture, the sun's warm rays on my skin, flowers, human touch, books on growth, an exquisite cocktail or champagne, travel, the mediterranean vibe and the sound of the crickets in the summer evening from the bed.
When I'm not third-wheeling at weddings, I'm also a yoga teacher. I'm never more present than when I'm on the yoga mat, guiding a spicy vinyasa class.
I'm frequently asked what attracts me to document weddings. Before each shoot, the feeling I thrive on the most is the adrenaline rush – it's simple, I adore everything about documenting weddings. Firstly, who wouldn't want to be part of a celebration of love? Everyone looks sharp and ready to party. Secondly, it's all about capturing those priceless memories in a creative way. The scareciting feeling keeps things interesting.

I’m based in Sweden, on the island Gotland.

Yes! If you’re considering a destination wedding, let me know and I’ll create a tailored proposal for you.

My approach is to capture your story creatively: candid and expressive photos showcasing not just grand moments, but also the hidden gems in between. I simply listen, observe and co-create. Real feelings, the spontaneous, surprising, unscripted. All of that goes beyond a pose. You can't plan for it, but I can capture it. But I do believe in directing your experience and curating an environment that allows you to be you.
I see myself as a co-creator with my couples and not just a professional delivering a service. By creating a easygoing vibe together - it will show in your photos. After all, wedding photography is about more than just one day. It’s about documenting who you are and how it felt to be there.
Your job is to trust the process, be willing to let your guard down, and show up with the intent to be fully present— I'll do the rest.

Moments captured with an editorial eye sums up my signature style. A mixture of artistic timeless moments with a love for raw, candid, fun and experimental documentary moments.
I love that every single time I pick up my camera, every new story will be completely different from the last. Every wedding is a fresh canvas for me. Your day is unique with its own flavor, and so should be its imagery. That's why I'm not sticking to “photography” rules or a fixed editing formula. My mission is to edit your wedding to match the feeling of the day. But that being said, expect your gallery to feature around 50% timeless black and white shots.
-
On average, I deliver 50-75x photos per hour spent shooting. However, you can rest assured that I am never one to withhold images if there are more to deliver! You will get anything and everything that meets my standards.
-
In the week following your wedding, you will receive 10 preview photos (if included in your package), offering a sneak peek into the collection to come. Eight weeks later, your complete wedding gallery will be delivered.
Images are shared through an online gallery.
-
Once you decide you’d like to move forward, we hop on a video call to ensure we are the right fit and of course answer any of your questions.

Many couples book more than a year in advance, sometimes even two. But there are also some spontaneous requests. The sooner you reach out, the better the chances are that your date is still available in my calendar.
-
No, not a full blown movie (atm). But, I do offer a more of a “the best of” vertical movie that I edit + piece together in a creative way, synced to a song that captures the vibe of your day and your unique style.
