When I started photographing weddings in 2014, I wanted to do things differently. I didn’t want to offer the same old clichés—bridges, docks, or fields of tall grass. If I had a wedding on a Saturday, I’d spend Friday scouting locations—searching for spots that felt unique and meaningful.
It paid off. Along the way, I’ve photographed weddings for actors, public figures, and even other photographers. I’ve spent countless days exploring Helsinki, searching for the best photo locations. And some of the photos I’ve taken here have even won awards in the world’s biggest photography competitions.
Now, in 2025, I’ve reached a point where I want to share that knowledge with others. While I mostly photograph elopements and weddings across Europe these days, I still shoot in Helsinki from time to time—so this list will continue to grow and evolve.
Oh, and one more thing: all the photo locations featured on this page can be found in my Best Photo Spots in Helsinki guide.

Who are the Best Photo Spots in Helsinki especially for?
I’ve divided the photo locations into three categories: indoor options in case of rain, midday spots for harsh sunlight, and evening locations where golden light usually hits just right.
4. For you who are looking for photo locations that work in unpredictable conditions
But often, what actually makes your photos better doesn’t cost thousands.
More often, it’s better light. A peaceful and unique location. A clearer vision of where to go—and why.
With these photo spots, you’ll save time, avoid unnecessary compromises, and focus on what truly makes a photo powerful—light, location, and the person in front of your lens.
That’s why I believe this is one of the best investments you can make to support your photography. Click here and download the photo locations!

Hi, my name is Jaakko.
I’ve been photographing weddings professionally for ten years, and photography has taken me all across Europe. My work has been featured in some of the world’s leading publications. In both 2019 and 2023, my images were selected for Junebug’s Best of the Best—the biggest wedding photography collection in the world. I’ve also been named Artist of the Year by Lookslikefilm in 2015 and 2019.
I would have never reached this level if I hadn’t paid close attention to photo locations. In fact, the image that won in 2019 was taken in a spot you’ll find in this guide.
