Start your journey here
Your love and commitment deserve to be the centre of attention on your wedding day. This day marks the entry to the rest of your lives together, so make it memorable, make it extraordinary, make it an adventure. Make it reflect the two of you and everything you ever wanted.
This day should be a story you’ll tell future generations. I will take the photos that tell that story in a genuine way. Because those photos are memories of the moments. And I’ll make sure that your experience comes first, always.
are you dreaming of an intimate wedding in Norway?
Norway elopement photographer who believes you should put the focus where it belongs – on your love and connection.
For the ones who know that the intimacy they want for their wedding vows won’t be possible in front of a crowd. For the adventurers. The ones who like to take the scenic route and love road trips. The ones who value experiences over stuff and know that time is the most precious thing we have.
The ones who love the north like I do.
about me

And the memories of moments. To me as a photographer, your experience of a shoot is so much more important than a photo. Instead of creating that perfect Instagram shot in front of that epic mountain and posing for manufactured feelings, I want you to be yourselves, focus on the experience, the moments, the memories in the making.
We can still climb that mountain together or find a spot by the lake. But they aren’t backdrops for a photo, they are the settings to your story. So, I promise that we won’t do anything just for a photo. We will do it for the experience.
what counts most are the moments
Experience over photos. Always.

Hello! I’m Jaakko – a husband, father, orienteer, trail runner, and photographer honored twice in Junebug Weddings’ Best of the Best collections. I call the Nordic countries home.
My heart lies in crafting elopement experiences that let you be truly present with each other, far from the noise and distractions of everyday life.
Over the past decade, I’ve photographed elopements all across Norway – from the fjords and islands in the north to the quiet forests and mountain plateaus in the south – always focusing on connection, experience, and honest storytelling.
Whether it’s exchanging vows on a secluded mountaintop or finding hidden trails for an intimate moment, as a Norway elopement photographer, I believe that the best photos come from genuine connection and authenticity.

On the day itself, I'm creating a space where you can be your true selves—vulnerable, real, and fully present with one another. I'll guide you through winding roads if needed, and quietly document each raw, unguarded moment. Because at the end of the day, it’s your experience that matters most.
It's time for the experience of a lifetime

With a decade of storytelling, two Junebug Best of the Best awards, and an orienteering background, I’ll guide you to hidden gems and handle everything from timelines to vendor recommendations – blending creativity, expert location scouting, and logistical know-how into one seamless experience.
