About me

Hi. I’m Louise, so glad you’ve found me!

I love shooting weddings and location portraits! And this is what I mainly do. But I also have several commercial clients for architecture, interior and event work – so if you are a corporate client, please follow this link: Commercial and corporate photography and you’ll be in the right place!

I’m based in Clapham, SW London, but if your wedding is elsewhere in the UK or abroad, I gladly travel! I really love photographing on different locations.;)

 Me as your wedding photographer!

I shoot wed­dings for the love of cap­tur­ing peo­ple. I find excite­ment in look­ing for moments, think­ing cre­atively and tell a story. Your wed­ding images are about you — I haven’t shot a sin­gle wed­ding or a cou­ple the same as any another — I personalise my photography to best capture your personalities, your day and your style of wedding..

My style has a con­tem­po­rary edi­to­r­ial edge – your portraits are pre- planned to best suit you. They can be inspired by fashion and magazines, be creative or completely natural – as you wish. My aim is to guide you to feel relaxed and for the portraits to be a reflection on your personalities. I mix the editorial approach with creative documentary – working in the background for large parts of your day, unobtrusively capturing moments as they happen. And I’ll be there your whole day. From the chaos in the morn­ing. Still shooting away when you’re rock­ing the dance floor in the evening.

All my full day clients will have a com­ple­men­tary, fun pre- wedding shoot on loca­tion. This ses­sion is so essen­tial: It will make you a lot more relaxed with my pres­ence, and give you some ideas and inspi­ra­tion for your actual day. This is a chance to go a bit cre­ative as well — come up with a spe­cial loca­tion, or a theme or a cer­tain vibe… Or it can just be all nat­ural, you decide.

I keep inspired all the time. As soon as I walk down the street I look at things — I look at peo­ple, I look for com­po­si­tions around me, I scroll through wed­dings and fash­ion mag­a­zines and absorb movies — and I store all my ideas in my head for future wed­dings. And I’m inspired by you! I want us to be leveled before your day, so  that I have a good feel for what images you want, and how to best pho­to­graph you.

What else…? I grew up in a village outside Stockholm, Sweden. In a house filled to the brim with rabbits, hamsters, cats and dogs + four kids with me somewhere in the middle of three brothers. Daughter to a third generation of bakers  - and when I say bakers in plural I mean it: Nearly all of my father’s nine siblings and my mum… me and my brothers, loads of cousins… and our friends – where involved in my father’s bakery business! I’m also a descendant to circus acrobats, opera singers, politicians, vikings and gypsies…

Couldn’t help myself when I found this in my mum’s old photo album… this is me way back in the 80′s, dressed and ready to attend my first ever wedding… my parent’s!

I never ever picked up a camera during childhood. (OK I confess, I might have had one of those plastic compact cameras actually… possibly in a quite horrid, red colour) But I wasn’t a ‘natural born photographer’ – I pretty much stumbled upon photography ten years ago, as an injury put an end to my dance – training at Pineapple dance studios in London…

And I was hooked.

Since then I’ve spent 4 years in professional photography training and 4 years as a freelance in the UK – with some weddings in Sweden, Lithuania and Canada as well:).  I  traveling and seeing new places too. Before embarking on my freelancing, I traveled Asia for ten months, with just an old school medium format camera and a bag full of film rolls as travel companions. (OK, I did make some human friends along the way, I wasn’t totally sad) And by the way, that medium format – although still around but tucked away in my wardrobe – has been replaced by a Digital Nikon.

xx Louise
