I'm Jaakko — an elopement photographer working across Norway and Scandinavia. After 300+ couples from 22 countries, I'm finally putting the things I've learned into products others can use.

Oh friend, I've been there, too! I bought numerous presets, but most of the time, I knew pretty soon I'd wasted my money.
When you're buying presets, you try to get a similar look to the one who is selling them. But in reality, most photographers are selling 10 different looks, which is fine, but I bet they aren't even using them themselves. And when you have that many options, I'm sure it's because the presets won't work in different light situations.
I believe that when you have too many options, learning how to use the presets takes too much time.
That's why I created these presets in the beginning. Not for you, but for me. I wanted to have presets that are almost always a one-click solution. That you can underexpose a photo when shooting and then just click the preset and you're 99% where you wanted.
You know your work is already good, but you just can't get the look?
I've spent a decade finding my style. Even though my style is always evolving, this is the cinematic look I keep coming back to.

While I've used the presets in Helsinki archipelago and Copenhagen courtyards, they are made for overcast fjords, snowy forests & midnight sun.
Different light conditions

Most presets are made for California light. These were built here – in Helsinki, Copenhagen, Tromsø, and Lapland - in the light I actually shoot in.

Frequently asked questions
01
Will these work with my camera?
Yes. These work with RAW files from any modern camera — Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Leica, anything that shoots RAW. I shoot mainly with Canon & Fujifilm.
02
Do they work on JPEGs?
Technically yes, but I don't recommend it. Presets are made for RAW files, where you have full control over white balance and color.
03
Which Lightroom versions are supported?
Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, Lightroom Mobile, and Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop — version 2018 and newer. The files are .xmp format.
04
What exactly do I get?
Three things: 1) .xmp preset files (the full Nordic Light system + modifiers)
2) A video where I walk you through how I edit, step by step, on real photos
3)A PDF guide covering installation (desktop & mobile)
05
Do I need to know how to edit?
Not really. The base preset is almost a one-click solution most of the time, and the video shows you exactly how I use these on real photos. If you're new to Lightroom, you'll see how to get started.
06
How do I install them?
The PDF walks you through it for both desktop and mobile, but the short version: import the .xmp files through Lightroom's Develop module. Takes a couple of minutes.
