What does your most-chosen wedding package include? This package spans 12 hours across two days and includes a second photographer, drone imagery, and selected analogue photographs. A preview gallery arrives within one week, followed by the full collection — and a surprise, as part of the experience. 

How many photos will we receive? On average, I deliver 50–75 images per hour of coverage. That said, I never withhold images—if there are more strong photographs to deliver, you’ll receive them. You will get everything that meets my standards.

How will we receive our photos? Within one week after your wedding, you’ll receive a preview gallery (if included in your package) — a first glimpse of the story to come. Your full wedding gallery will be delivered within up to 12 weeks.

The online gallery (a dedicated platform with a mobile app) allows you to download all images in both high-resolution and web-resolution formats. Your package also includes one year of cloud storage, with the option to extend if needed.

Why does it take time to receive our photos? Each wedding requires an average of 70+ hours of work — from transferring and backing up files to culling, editing, and final delivery — ensuring every image meets a consistently high standard.

During peak season (May–October), delivery times can extend up to 12 weeks due to the volume of multi-day and travel-intensive weddings.

If you’d like your gallery sooner, an express delivery option can be arranged. That said, I choose to edit with care and intention rather than rely solely on AI or rush the process, allowing for both creative depth and visual consistency in your final gallery.

What is your photography style? My work blends raw, candid moments with an editorial eye that sums up my signature style. A mixture of artistic timeless moments with a love for raw, candid, fun, experimental documentary moments. Every wedding is approached as a fresh canvas, without fixed rules or a preset editing formula. Your imagery is edited to reflect the feeling of the day rather than a standardized look. Expect your gallery to include approximately 50% black and white images. 

What does “avant-garde at heart” mean to you? Being avant-garde is not about being ahead for the sake of it. It’s about listening inwardly — and having the courage and discipline to follow that signal.

At heart, my work is driven by curiosity rather than outcome. I’m less interested in repeating what is already known than in responding honestly to what is unfolding. That requires restraint, patience, and a willingness to leave room for the unexpected.

To be avant-garde at heart is to listen first, then trust what follows. 

Do you offer videography, a content creator, or a second photographer? A second photographer is included in all wedding packages, and a content creator can be added. For video, I collaborate with a small selection of trusted filmmakers and am always open to discovering new creators based on the vision of the day. This can be discussed. 

Do you have any other offerings available? Additional offerings include fine-art prints, editorial photobooks, extended 35mm analogue photography, Polaroids, content creation, highlight instagram reels, express delivery, next-day sneak peeks, and engagement, dress-fitting, day-before, or day-after shoots.

Where are you based? Rooted on the island of Gotland, Sweden. In 2026, my work moves between Italy, the USA, and the UK.

This form is a starting point — not a commitment. I read every application carefully and respond personally. Mentoring is offered in limited capacity and designed for photographers and creatives who are ready to look closely at their work, their direction, and what wants to evolve next. Take your time.
