Authentic, raw & beautifully imperfect.

Alternative wedding photographer in Stockholm and Gothenburg, with a truly documentary approach

Screw perfect and performative. My images are raw, eclectic, artistic, romantic, beautifully imperfect, full of life, distinctively un-weddingy, unposed and freaking real.

(Because core memories aren’t created)

Hi, I’m emma!

I’m a photographer who loves working with both analogue and digital; thinks perfection is overrated, and would rather capture you hugging a family member than 20 photos of your wedding attire on a hanger. My photography style is, at its core, documentary - and heavily inspired by street photography. But it’s also artistic and full of pure moments captured in an artistic way. So, skip the performance - I’m about to capture the moments that will actually matter in 3, 5 or 30 years. 

“It looks like people are actually enjoying themselves in your images”

People look like they’re enjoying themselves because they are having the times of their lives

Weddings, as well as wedding photos, are best when the couple get to be fully present and enjoy themselves. I’m not going to interrupt a moment for better lighting, ask you to do it again for a photo, or even tell you that you should do a first look. Nor am I going to drag you away for two hours for portraits. Because I truly believe that letting you dance, hug and laugh through your day is the best way to give you not only amazing wedding photos, but the most memorable wedding day too.

Wedding photos that feels like you

You probably care the most about photos of your friends laughing, your grandmother hugging you, the loud cheers and soft tears, and those small, sweet moments between you and your partner. You want to be able to relive your wedding day. That doesn’t mean you’re opposed to portraits, or that you don’t want any group photos; It’s that you want them to feel genuine, not filled with prompts and poses that are way out of your comfort zone. And, if you want portraits, you don’t want to spend hours taking them. Of course, you want to look good in your photos, but that doesn’t mean that you want your wedding day to feel like a photoshoot. 

Other bits

  • Of course, you’ll get portraits - if you want to. They’ll be the legacy kind that your grandkids will fawn over, aka elegant af and indeed, timeless. But more importantly, they’ll feel like you. I won’t ask you to perform, twirl, kiss with your teeth or anything else that feels weird to you. Usually, we spend around 20 minutes or so with portraits, and like the rest of the day, I observe rather than direct. (If you’re really keen on some guidance, I’ll help you out!).

  • Done in a jiffy with your most important people. I’ll help you plan them so that they’re quick and effortless. While I love the candid in-between moments, I know a lot of you do want a classic look into the camera photo with your parents. And that’s ok!

  • Yes! My job is to ensure that the people who matter the most to you are captured. But as my approach is documentary, I will document real moments, rather than create typical wedding pictures. We won’t be putting on your clothes a certain way for photos or have someone fake tie your bowtie. We won’t do a first look or exit for the sake of photos, iinstead, I’ll ask you what you’re looking forwards to the most.
