Meet Essi

-

 
 

I’ve been fascinated by the human face in powerful photographs since I can remember.

I was also surrounded by my fathers collection of vintage cameras and got to play and learn with film photography. This has given me a strong base in the technical knowledge, so that seeing artfully is always at the forefront when I work with you.

I also consider it one of my strongest gifts to make you feel at ease in front of my lens, dare I say even love it after a few minutes.

My background in fashion photography and photojournalism create a powerful mix of experience and passion to kill it at every moment of your wedding day. We can dream up the coolest bridal fashion shoot but also make sure the true moments are being noticed as well.

Much love,

Essi
