IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU.

I want to help you create and experience your best wedding day, free from stress and anxiety. A day that is only about you, where you can be yourselves and feel safe. A day where no one will EVER judge you based on your choices! A day filled with laughter, love and beautiful nature.

I want to share amazing places I’ve found with you! I want to be free and experience our incredible world. 

I believe that you do too! 

AURORA HUNTER, STORM CHASER AND FISH STALKER.


I am Sweden’s first adventure elopement photographer! I try not taking life too seriously and make sure seizing every opportunity I get for laugh and experiences! I am a crazy cat lady and my partner loves to tickle me until I scream! We often go fishing together and he loves laughing at me when I’m panicking over the big fish that is currently trying to eat me… I love animals and I am actually a Registered Veterinary Nurse and have been horse-back riding since I was little. I am owned by two cats and one horse. My two biggest vices in life are popcorn and cookies. And perhaps cats. And reading. Definitely reading.


I've been photographing since 2004 and I love finding beautiful places and dramatic skies! During winter, I always go hunting the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) and during summer time I love staying out watching beautiful sunset and photographing Noctilucent Clouds.

WHY AM I DOING THIS?


Being outdoors is one of the best things I know! I want to feel the wind ripping in my jacket, I want to hear the waves crash into the mountainside and feel the sun on my face. When I’m out in nature – I feel free! My batteries charge right up and my mind can rest and relax. I am a wild soul with a wild love.


I have always been one to break traditions and follow my heart. I have met so many couples being forced to have a wedding day completely opposite of what they wanted, just because of tradition. I’m here to help you make the brave choice to follow your heart! 


I belive that all love is equal and all love deserves to be remembered. I am very much LBTQ+-friendly. 


Your wedding day is no less important than any other couple’s wedding day – no matter if you want to spend yours on a mountain or fishing by a lake! 


I VALUE EXPERIENCES OVER PHYSICAL THINGS.

I THINK YOU DO TOO!


Leave no Trace aware photographer adventure elopement sweden sverige

LEAVE NO TRACE


I AM AN OFFICIAL “LEAVE NO TRACE AWARE PHOTOGRAPHER”!!


What does that mean? 


It means I passed the “Leave No Trace Awareness Assessment” after taking the “How To Leave No Trace Course - for Wedding + Elopement Photographers” by The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, Maddie Mae, Anni Graham & The Foxes Photography.


Access to the outdoors is something that is very important to me and increasing popularity to travel off the beaten path, is making a huge impact on our nature. I am taking a stand - FOR our beautiful earth! I for one want to be able to take all of my amazing couples back for their 5 & 10+ year vow renewals and for the place they got married to still be gorgeous & accessible.


What Is Leave No Trace?


It is:

A set of ethics & best practices we should follow to enjoy and protect the outdoors at the same time

An access tool to help enjoy public lands responsibly and leave less impact


It isn’t:

Something to shame other people about or make them feel bad for not knowing

Something to use to gatekeep and keep others from enjoying the outdoors
