When you look back on your wedding day, the photos will be a beautiful reminder—but what you’ll carry in your heart is how it felt. The way you held each other, the way your eyes met in those quiet moments, and how, for a day, the world seemed to revolve around just the two of you. My goal isn’t just to capture that, but to help create an atmosphere where you can be fully present.
I’ll be there to guide you, not just in front of the camera but throughout the entire day. We’ll focus on the emotions, the connection, and the small rituals that make you feel closer to one another. I’ll help you slow down, savor the moments, and be intentional about how you experience the day together—so that when you look back, you’ll not only see the photos, but remember how deeply you felt everything.
This is your chance to show up as the best version of yourselves, to be fully you—and that’s what makes the day unforgettable. Long after the day has passed, it won’t just be the images that stay with you—it will be the way you treated each other, how present you were, and how alive everything felt.
Because you will remember how everything felt
I truly believe that being brave enough to do once-in-a-lifetime experiences can transform your life and relationship, creating memories you'll cherish forever.

On my wedding day, I didn’t get the chance to truly connect with my wife. The day flew by in a whirlwind of moments, people, and traditions, and before I knew it, it was over. I’ve tried to move past that feeling, but it’s stayed with me, like something unfinished.
In 2019, I started planning a vow renewal, a chance to experience the day we truly needed. Just the two of us, no distractions, no noise. I wanted to give her something real—a moment where time would slow down, where we’d just be together. I even planned to modify the vintage dress she bought before our wedding but never had the chance to wear. I imagined the look on her face when she saw it again.
But life got in the way. Our second child arrived, then the pandemic. The perfect moment I was waiting for never came. And it still hasn’t.
I’m sharing this with you because I know how easy it is to wait—for the right time, the perfect moment, when everything lines up. But here’s the truth: time doesn’t wait for us. It moves on, whether we’re ready or not.
If you’re waiting to take that next step—to propose, to elope, to renew your vows—you may be waiting for a moment that never arrives.
So I ask you: What are you still waiting for?
And Because time is the most precious thing we have
The moment that never came
get to know me
Hey, I'm Jaakko. I'm a husband, father of two, orienteer, trail runner and elopement photographer based in the beautiful Scandinavia.
For me, elopements are about creating a space where you can be your true selves—vulnerable, real, and fully present with one another. It’s in those quiet, authentic moments that the most meaningful memories are made.
When we connect not just as photographer and couple, but as friends, it gives you the freedom to let your guard down, embrace every emotion, and truly be in the moment. Those are the memories that will stay with you long after the day has passed—the ones that remind you not just of how it looked, but how it felt.
So That You Can Remember How It Felt, Not Just How It Looked

Expert Guidance: Scouting, Planning, and Hidden Gems
I've studied and taught storytelling since my first elopement in 2014. My work was honored in the Junebug Weddings Best of the Best collection in 2019 and 2023, one of the most prestigious wedding photography competitions in the world. I was also named Artist of the Year by Lookslikefilm in both 2015 and 2019.
10 Years of Storytelling & Award-Winning Photography
When you look at your photos, I want you to see that story. The story of how you promised each other the rest of your lives, the love you felt, the connection, the great adventures you embarked on together on this day. If you feel it in the moment, you will feel in when looking at the photos. That’s what matters most to me.
My guiding belief: Experience over photos
Always included in your elopement & Wedding packages

Available for Hire in Europe's Most Secluded Destinations
While I call the Nordic countries home, my passion for capturing love stories has led me across Europe's most breathtaking and secluded terrains. Guided by my belief that the experience matters more than the photos themselves, I've spent years exploring hidden paths and remote landscapes—discovering places where you can be fully present with each other, away from the crowds.
With my extensive experience and deep connection to these environments, I'm excited to guide you to these secluded destinations—or wherever your heart leads—to craft an extraordinary day that's uniquely yours.
