When thinking about our wedding photographer, we were looking for an artist with a real heart. It was important to us that our wedding was not just another event for him, that we were not just a couple more clients. Björn invested everything in us. Each of the photographs we received has soul and is a dear piece of our wedding experience. Having Björn as our destination wedding photographer was one of the highlights of this stage of our lives.

From the moment we decided to have a wedding, we knew we didn’t want a glossy, cheesy photographer-we wanted the real thing, documented totally beautifully, yes, but not fake, none of the hand-holding, pretend smiling for the camera bullshit, thank you, just what really happened, please.
I loved the grittiness, the darkness, the reality- this was not pretty, easy to swallow love in his photos, this was real, heady, all-encompassing beautiful, terrible love and this really appealed to the (optimistic) realist in me.

We couldn’t have wished for anyone better for our big day. The pictures taken that day are our most valuable keepsakes. The mood of the day is almost palpable, and the many small moments that would otherwise have been easily forgotten are documented and showcased in the best possible light. You will not find closer, more authentic, and more beautiful photos.

His photography is raw and honest in so many ways. He has a very peculiar talent, he is able to translate a vibe and an emotion in one single image. If you want to remember your wedding day as it truly was, he is the one.

Björn has a remarkable visual language. Just by scrolling through his website we were convinced at first sight. He is truly gifted with an eye for forms and structure and has a perfect feeling for the atmosphere of a location and the setting. That’s why we are so excited about the photos. They are just beautiful. We deeply honour the mutual understanding, trust and respect during our session. Thank you so much, Björn!
