Destination wedding photography - The first wedding in the northernmost part of Finland, Lapland

Six years ago something has started. I boarded a plane for the first time in my life, and it took me to the northernmost part of Finland to photograph a Finnish-Hungarian wedding. It was also my first experience photographing a wedding abroad. At that moment, something changed, something began, triggering an avalanche that continues to this day: an insatiable thirst for adventure, curiosity, and love for other countries, cultures, and destination wedding photography.

Thanks to this first adventure with destination wedding photography (which was not the easiest journey with layovers, sleeping at the airport, and dealing with climate differences), I have since photographed in Spain, Paris, Malta, Sweden, Poland, Slovenia, Austria, and Italy (where I return to photograph every year). This year, the list of conquered countries and cities is growing with Copenhagen, Capri, Lake Como, Naples, Prague—and who knows where the wind will take me next! :)

The biggest challenge

Perhaps the biggest challenge was the -17 degrees Celsius temperature and the abundance of snow, but Évi and Matti compensated for it so well with their attitude. It's truly different to exist in such cold weather when you're halfway through your years. I was astonished when Évi appeared in her mini dress while I had two socks, thermal underwear, and two sweaters under my extra furry winter coat. I exclaimed, "My goodness, aren't you cold like this?" to which she replied, in this weather, she casually rides her bike to work, it's not that bad :)

A lifelong experience

Inherently curious nature drives me towards exploration, and I am certain that experiencing such a northern life was the best opportunity. Spending a few days with Évi and Matti, who made every effort to provide every opportunity for great photos and to let me experience things not possible at home, was truly special.

So, I photographed while sitting on a snowmobile, ice-fished on the frozen river, captured moments in the world-famous Ice Castle, sipped tea at Mökki, gazed at the Sampo icebreaker ship—and of course, had snowball fights wherever possible.

But now, let the pictures tell the story!
