Last summer was splattered with weddings, this summer wasn’t. Thankfully. If it was I would have either turned them down or not jettset around the world.

No, this summer just had one and it was in the later summer. More like autumn. Late September.

Christofer Falkman and I got to know each other as fellow band members of Jupither. After we both departed from that specific path, we have embarked on a similar journey career-wise. We both work as designers. So we have stayed in contact, as friends and via our shared interest.

For the wedding Christofer ask if I wanted to bring my camera and take a few photos. They weren’t hiring a professional photographer, so they kindly asked if I wouldn’t mind capture a few during the evening. They were very specific, though, that I was there as guests and not as a photographers, and that I had to prioritise the party over the favor I’d been asked.

Having my Nikon as my +1 did make me slightly nervous, but in no way close to the nervousness one of last years wedding brought; when I was asked to play and sing a song in church, but I am quite inexperience as a photographer and have mainly only shot for my own purpose and benefits. To be able to deliver for a occasion like this made me a bit uneasy, but I thought it was a perfect setting to try it out.

The wedding was a beautiful low-key wedding held in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was lovely. The highlight of the evening was when they both sang a song for each other. Many tears where shed.

The photographs turned out really well. They are pleased and so am I. Some of can be seen below, some were featured on oncewed.com and more are available on my Flickr account. Since the party was a priority, the photographs kind of ends as the party began. Just as promised.
