Your Local Norway Elopement Photographer: Intimate Wedding Guide

Hey, I'm Jaakko!

I'm an elopement photographer, avid orienteer, trail runner, husband, and father of two. My love for the outdoors started when I was seven, navigating forests with just a map—exciting and a little scary!

My childhood was full of Norwegian term friluftsliv, meaning I spend my summers playing in nature, or traveling to orienteering competitions all around Scandinavia. A day spend in nature, with or without exercise is a day well-spend, if you ask me.

Now, almost 30 years later, I know how to adapt when Norway’s weather turns. Having lived in Scandinavia my whole life and explored Norway often, my family is temporarily moving to Norway for next summer, with hopes of making it our permanent home. Even though we'll be moving from the neighbor country, I'm looking for opportunities to connect with couples who share the same love for adventure, nature, and the feeling of freedom that comes with intimate elopements.

If you’re like me, a big wedding isn’t for you. Not if you really think about it. And I want you to be brave enough to say no to it. Because I wish my wife and I had been.

I want to help couples to learn from my experience, and for them to understand that they are allowed to plan a day that is just for them and about their love.

"Jaakko took the time to understand what we both wanted in terms of a secluded outdoor space that showed off everything that is Lofoten."


"In the end, we went with his favorite location, and it surpassed all expectations. It was everything. Stunning, moody, quiet, mother nature in all her power and glory."



"If you have ever thought about an intimate wedding or an elopement, we could not emphatically recommend Jaakko enough."


"He does such a good job of making the time spent about you and he wants to get to know you sincerely as human beings."


"I believe that the level of connection and trust he is willing to put his time and energy into shows in his work."

"We came away from Lofoten with a true friend, someone we and our friends connected with, and feel so grateful for that."
