Feeling fancy and a little emotional. I’ve been named one of the top five wedding photographers in Sweden by @wezoree ! 🙌 Huge thanks for the love and recognition. With so much insane talent out there, it’s wild (and deeply humbling) to see my name next to these absolute legends ✨

I I wanna age like a slightly expensive bottle someone forgets to open, then suddenly everyone cares about ten years later.
I’ll die on this hill of film photography, happily and with snacks.
Trends age fast, like milk in July. The goal was never to look trendy, quite the opposite, actually. I want my work to hold up. I want to be able to pull a photo from 2014, place it next to one from last weekend, and not feel like I need to explain myself in court.
A rest stop tree in Sardinia, had to stop to pee. Stockholm archipelago on the last frame on a roll before catching the ferry back to mainland.
Pools and a giant inflatable swans are apparently my thing. A Highland calf with significantly better hair than me.
Seven random favorite frames. Various different cameras and film stocks, can’t remember all of them but Contax 645, Hasselblad H, Nikon F100 are in the mix.
Film just keeps me pointing a camera at things I have no deadline for, no client, no brief. Just the thing in front of me and however many frames are left on the roll. That’s something I won’t to stop doing.

Caroline & Vincent’s farewell brunch at Château de Tourreau turned into pool swims, sunglasses before noon.
People walking around barefoot with coffee cups in one hand and champagne in the other, and guests fully embracing the fact that nobody needed to leave just yet.
Which, personally, I think is the whole point of a destination wedding in Provence.
Not to over schedule every second, but to create enough room for people to actually exist together for a hot minute. Sit by the pool, talk properly, and nurse the hangover slightly. Or a lot, in some cases.
Also, strong argument for a wedding weekend dress code that includes silk scarves, giant sun hats, and at least one man looking like he casually wandered out of a 1974 Italian film. Gold star in my eyes.
Caroline & Vincent absolutely nailed that part.

Some people leave a mark so clearly you can still feel the track.
Danielle & Anton’s wedding at Rånäs Slott was one of those for me.
What I remember most is how completely at ease they were together. Two people fully locked into each other and into the slightly surreal fact that this was now their married life.
And then suddenly it was confetti cannons, packed dance floors, champagne sprayed directly into the atmosphere, and someone losing all sense of spatial awareness on the dance floor in the best possible way.
Exactly the kind of progression I support.
Happy anniversary, Danielle & Anton ❤︎ Hope you’re celebrating properly today!!

Emily and Chris told me their dog Axel wouldn’t be at the wedding. What they didn’t mention was that he’d still be running the bar.
Swipe to frame 4. You’re welcome.
This was Emily and Chris’s wedding in Stockholm, ceremony at Eric Ericsonhallen, dinner and dancing at Grand Hôtel Spegelsalen, 150 guests, a live band, and a petal toss exit that I keep coming back to.
It was also featured on @caratsandcake , which I somehow forgot to post about until now. Better late than never.

I did say there’d be weekly odes to film photography around here, so apparently I now have to be a woman of my word.
Not because the internet was crying out for it, but because I have a huge archive of work that still means a lot to me, and plenty of it has never been shared properly. Which feels a little unfair, both to the photos and to the version of me who kept carrying film cameras across countries, seasons, and everyday life.
Some of these are from jobs, some from personal work, some from places I happened to be standing with a camera and enough restraint not to waste the frame. Provence, Santorini, Marrakech, Gotland, my own backyard. Weddings, books, travel, life, and whatever else caught my eye enough to make me reach for the camera.
Also, a small moment of silence for the discontinued film stocks in this set. Gone, but not forgotten.
So here’s another round from the archive. Not greatest hits, more like pieces of the hidden map that got me here.
Frames, gear & film stocks:
1. Contax 645, Fujicolor Pro 160C
2. Hasseblad H4x, Kodak Portra 400
3. Contax 645, Kodak Portra 800
4. Fujifilm GA645, Fujicolor Pro 400H
5. Contax 645, Kodak Portra 800
6. Canon 1v, Kodak Ultramax 400
7. Contax 645, Fujicolor 400NPH
