I am a photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden. This is a blog about my work, my thoughts, my art and my business.
I work mostly with weddings, it's my biggest passion. But I also do other types of portraits, still life and reportage.
I find my inspiration in fashion and in nature. The scenery seen from a train window on my way to my hometown, fashion magazines, and constantly view websites about weddings all over the world are some of the things that keep me going.

It was a snowy winterland when Anna and Henning got married in Stockholm February 13. I was happy that they thought that outdoor photos were important for them, even if it’s a bit more tricky this time of the year. We also planned some time at Skridskopaviljongen since it was quite cold. That place made a beautiful setting to their wedding that was celebrated at newly opened Hotel Skeppsholmen.

Now it’s countdown to my trip to the States and to WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International)! It’s a convention for wedding and portrait photographers in Las Vegas and I can’t tell you how super excited I am!

Linda and Björn’s photos from their wedding at Rastaborgs slott last summer is featured on the Danish blog - Pretty chic blog. This blog is full of wedding inspiration that I truly can recommend. I love the color palette, the small little details and the sophisticated, stylish feeling on every single post. Check it out!
- Grattis! Och tack för tipset om fin blog. mvh BennyFebruary 15, 2010 - 11:39 am
I told him that I was happy that he shared one of his favorite places with me. He was holding his arms around me while I was leaning against his chest. You are a part of me now, he said.
It’s for real. I’ve found him.
And I believe that the impact of this journey will make me a better photographer.

In many ways this was a wonderful winter day. The most important thing was that the client and I had the same vision of this pregnancy shoot. The focus was on sophisticated, elegant, fashion inspired photos. A combination that I love. Catarina had no professional photos of herself and she thought that this was a perfect opportunity to document a very special time in her life. We met in Catarina’s fantastic flat in central Stockholm a sunny Saturday morning when the light was just breathtaking. I couldn’t stop shooting because there were so many scenes in my head that I had to capture on camera. My biggest thanks to Catarina for being such a beauty, for being so friendly, understanding, for wearing the most elegant dress from Chloé and for giving me creative freedom.
- This pictures are so stunning and wonderful!February 4, 2010 - 10:42 am
- Wow! De här är de i särklass vackraste gravidfotografierna jag sett! Alla detaljer, posering, post-proc och diptykerna har en sådan känsla! Hittar inget bra svenskt ord, det första jag tänkte när jag såg bilderna var "exquisite".February 4, 2010 - 10:45 am

- FIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN!February 2, 2010 - 9:46 am
In the beginning of December I did a shoot for Interflora. The theme was Valentines day and it ended up very colorful. The talented florists were told to not use red roses, which is the most classical flower for love. When the stores buy the roses from the wholesalers the price for red roses are very high on Valentines day, and of course it’s also affecting the consumer price in the end. We focused on other flowers in this shoot and I hope it will inspire the readers of the magazine where it’s featured.
Creative director: Anna Ceder
- Oh how pretty! While I appreciate the symbolism in red roses, personally I have always prefered roses in more rosy shades. I like the idea of adding feathers around the rim of the bouquet. So feminine and pretty :)January 29, 2010 - 2:25 pm
- Wonderful pictures! Makes me wanna run to a flowerstore!January 29, 2010 - 3:56 pm

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a dreamy romantic human being that I like to photograph love. I have no kids and I’m not married, but I still believe that I have an eye for documenting love. One week after this session in Stockholm with Petra and Olle their son Malte was born in Uppsala. In my point of view I think it was important to not only focus on the big belly on this pregnancy shoot. Also the nearness between the parents, the expectations and their love made a huge impact on the result.
- Lovely images. Love the intimate feel to these.January 13, 2010 - 12:48 pm
- vackra bilder med mycket känsla, you've done it again!January 13, 2010 - 11:40 pm

- Verry nice set of portraits. I like the once that were taken from abov the bed, really nice and uniqe composition. Great work!January 26, 2010 - 10:11 am
- WOW - så fantastiskt underbara och personliga foton som verkligen speglar kärleken med dem två o även till bebisen som de väntar på. //HelenaJanuary 29, 2010 - 5:50 pm
It’s the end of 2009. A magic year. A year that I will look back on and remember how I grew as a photographer and as person. I was having a really hard time to choose my personal wedding favorite photos from 2009, but here are some moments that are special to me.
There are so many more moments that I would like to put in my review, but then it would have been a never ending story. It’s important for me to show my personal wedding favorites. It displays the inner point of were my passion comes from. And without passion in this profession it’s impossible to keep going.
I will look back on this year and remember the small little details that made me a better wedding photographer. But also the big things such as my post processing. I have really found a tone and a mood in the post processing that I like and also improved my workflow. I want my photos to feel genuine and unique, because that’s the main part the client pay for, my time in front of the computer after the wedding editing all the photos.
This blog was also born in 2009. I have been blogging since 2007, but in this form it’s so much more easier and funnier to keep you posted.
When I started this blog in February I also started to use Twitter. Under the menu you will find the title “status”. I will try to have a new status each day in 2010. So even if you go to my blog and there is no new post, you can find a new status. If you are using Twitter you can also follow me.
Also something new for this year is my page on Facebook. You can follow my work, my thoughts, look at behind the scenes photos and get a reminder when I have post something new on the blog.
I will also specially remember when I held my guest lectures, my destination weddings abroad and the great atmosphere at my office.
My biggest thanks to all of my clients for letting me to be a part of their day. It’s a privilege and a huge responsibility to document a wedding day. They all have hired me for my knowledge, my experience, my passion and my artistic point of view. They have shared intimate moments of love, and they spread it in real life and on this blog.
Thank you all for the comments on the blog, the encourage, the joy and for making me feel for real.

- Dear Erika, You are a true inspiration to me. I am originally from the Netherlands but live in San Jose. And I am very insprired with your work. I have paused my wedding photography for personal reasons as it is true that you have to be passionate in order to be able to give yourself 200% in order to take on the responsibility to photograph a wedding. Maybe I will find that passion in 2010. Much succes to you and thanks for sharing your awesome work with all of us. MarikaDecember 30, 2009 - 4:46 pm

Dock har jag en liten detalj kvar i minnet från dessa bilder som störde lite, på den svartvita bilden där du fotat en tjej när hon sminkar sig i den gamla bilden backspegel, då är det en svart grej uppe till vänster i bilden. Den tycker jag ska bort. God fortsättning! :)January 5, 2010 - 9:39 pm

It’s Christmas day and I’m laying on a bench in my parents kitchen on my favorite spot. My laptop is in my knee and I can feel the smell of cinnamon cookies and the Christmas tree next to me. I really enjoy my time here. I love to be around my family. To be able to long to my office and see things in perspective. When I’m here a find so much inspiration in the landscape and the nature. Nowadays I’m a big city girl even if I was born and raised on the countryside. I love both worlds.
I would like to wish you a very warm and loving Christmas with two photos that I took earlier today. One of my worlds.
- merry christmas erika! enjoy some time off and time filled with love with your family! {katrina}December 27, 2009 - 1:07 am
In the latest issue of the Swedish wedding magazine “Bröllopsguiden” Katarina and Peter’s February wedding is featured. They had a beautiful winter wedding in Gävle 2008. They got married in Heliga trefaldighets kyrka and celebrated at Engeltofta herrgård.

A couple of months ago I posted a behind the scene photo from a shoot that I did with Jenny Hammar. This is some of my photos from Anna-Karin and Mikaels day October 24. Even if it was a gloomy weather the leafs made the colors really pop.
- Vilken fin gul färg!December 16, 2009 - 7:31 pm
Helena married her Spanish husband in Hedvig Eleonora kyrka at Östermalm and celebrated at Högberga gård, Lidingö, in August. These two photos are from the inner courtyard at Högberga gård and I love the expression in Helena’s face. She was such a beautiful and elegant bride.
- Vilken bukett! Vet du vem som gjort den?December 7, 2009 - 12:40 pm
- Nej, jag vet tyvärr inte vem floristen är. Jag kan kolla med Helena och återkomma. /erikaDecember 9, 2009 - 12:22 pm

- Buketten är verkligen fantastisk och du är en fantastisk fotograf!December 11, 2009 - 9:14 am
One of my returning clients is Interflora. I love to work with them, not only because I love to work with the talented creative director Anna Ceder, but also because it’s so much fun and my studio is full of beautiful props. Tomorrow it will be messy, hectic, but fun again when we shoot photos with a Valentine’s day theme.
Creative director: Anna Ceder
Florist: Marianne Walldén, Fröken knopp

I have done many Following morning shoots this year, but I have only showed a few photos on my blog. I love these sessions since it’s so connected to the weddings (It’s a gift to the groom the day after the wedding). When I photographed Elin I instantly felt a connection with her style and what I like to express with my photos. She had adorable lingeries from Agent Provocateur that matched her wedding with a vintage feeling. I normally shoot this type of sessions in black and white, but since the color added so much to the old fashion style both Elin and I were convinced to edit them in color.
Thanks to Elin for letting me post these photos.
- gorgeous woman and gorgeous photosNovember 29, 2009 - 8:56 pm
- Gorgeous photos!November 29, 2009 - 9:38 pm
- seriously beautiful work erika! you're amazing! { katrina }November 30, 2009 - 6:36 pm

- Underbara bilder, tycker verkligen om tonen och känslan... Visst är det roligt med lite annorlunda ideér, så inspirerande!December 16, 2009 - 11:59 am
Anna and I met for the first time at her bridal shower when her friends had arranged a photo shoot. So when Anna asked me to be her wedding photographer November 21 I felt happy to be a part of her and Alexander’s day. At 2 PM we started to shoot the portraits at Nyckelvikens herrgård in Nacka. Unfortunately the sun had went down behind the trees at that time but I still had much light to work with. The setting was beautiful and I think the surroundings at Nyckelviken matched with their Italian theme.
Anna’s beautiful hair is made by the talented Lisa Anim-Addo.
Thanks to Olle Sternrud for assisting me and for constantly noticing small details on the grooms outfit.
- Fantastiska bilder, som alltid! Vilket otroligt hår... Gillar verkligen första bilden. Mycket känslor. / LisaNovember 25, 2009 - 1:55 pm

About three weeks ago I photographed Petra and Olle. They were full of expectations for what life should bring when we met in Stockholm. When I look at this photo I feel completely warm inside. Not only because they are dear friends of mine, but also that we manage to do this shoot just the week before Petra gave birth to a boy.
- Fint!November 21, 2009 - 9:39 am
- jätte fin. Ett härligt ljus och snyggt med den färgade nyans i bilden.November 21, 2009 - 6:20 pm

Many months have past since I took a photo just for my own creativity. This is a photo without a buyer and it is a result of my first free weekend since April.
- Roligt att se! Spöklikt och vackert!November 16, 2009 - 1:19 pm
- Vackert ljus! o lite läskigt spökligtNovember 16, 2009 - 1:52 pm
- Spännane bild, en sådan som fastnar på näthinnan! Du är fantastiskt duktig! På min bloggrubrik idag står det "deleted" haha...November 16, 2009 - 1:58 pm
- Egen fototid ger mig alltid ny energi! När jag tittar på den här bilden så blir jag inte bara sugen att gå ut och fotografera utan också att sätta upp bilden i mitt vardagsrum och ligga och titta på den i timmar!November 16, 2009 - 10:38 pm
- Otroligt cool bild med fantastiskt ljus och sköna färgnyanser. De röda stövlarna gör väldigt mycket för bilden tycker jag, en skön detalj som bryter av hela bilden. Har tidigare bara hört talas om det magiska ljuset i Tolfta, som ofta jämförs med Skagen :)November 18, 2009 - 9:32 am
- Breath-takingNovember 19, 2009 - 4:33 pm

After every final edit I find more photos that I like from the sessions. Here are a couple of photos from Marie and Thomas wedding at Rockelstads slott.
- Fantastiska bilder. Fint med den gula båten. / LisaNovember 13, 2009 - 10:11 pm
It all started when I got many friend requests on Facebook from people that I didn’t know. I use Facebook a lot and it’s important for me to be able to express myself without thinking of my profession and to share my private thoughts with people that I know in real life. I don’t want to be rude and not accept friend requests, in fact I’m happy if people want to interact with my business, so a few days ago I started a page for my business. Welcome to be my friend on Facebook and follow what I’m up to, view some of my personal favorite photos and have a look at behind the scenes shots. The page is for colleagues, past clients, clients to be, friends and just people who like my style of shooting. I rather called it friends than fans, since I find the word fan silly.

Thomas and Marie had a rainy day October 3 when they celebrated at Rockelstads slott, a small castle near Sparreholm in Södermanland. Dispite the weather we went outdoors for some portraits. Marie’s dress and Thomas jacket was so wet but they didn’t complain at all, instead they were relaxed and laughed a lot. It was both rainy and cold and Marie thought that I didn’t have enough clothes on me, so she borrowed me her scarf. They were both so kind and genuine. Their color went in pink, orange and purple and Marie was dressed in the coolest shoes ever. The beautiful bouquet was made by herself. Thanks to my assistant Helene who held an umbrella over me while shooting, and also a thanks to the bestman and the bridesmaid who made this shoot fun!

Jenny Hammar and I photographed a wedding together October 24 in Hagaparken surrounded by colorful leafs and a smell of autumn. Anna-Karin and Mikael married in Matteus kyrkan and celebrated at Stallmästaregården. They both were so kind and loving and easy to photograph. I also snapped some behind the scenes photos of Jenny when she was shooting. She is a colleague of mine and I could not wish for a more genuine and great person who inspires and helps me. We have a network together and since we started it last autumn she also have become a good friend of mine. Check out Jennys amazing photos at her blog.

Both Natalie and Heléne have a genuine look. They are twins and since Heléne is moving to London she asked me if I could take some new photos of her and her sister. We had a great time of 30 minutes to capture some portraits of them. People were passing by at lunchtime on the street at Stadsbiblioteket in Stockholm while we were shooting. I wanted to create an emotional and beautiful memory for them and I knew that I could stretch the limits since Heléne also work as a photographer.
Good luck in London Heléne! You are a brave and a strong woman.

I’m way behind with my blogging, but here is finally the second wedding that I did in France last month. The British couple Georgina and James had a beautiful wedding in the Dordogne area.
If you take the train 3 hours south of Paris and then an extra hour in the car you end up at Chateau La Durantie. Georgina and James’s happiness was unmistakable on their wedding day, 26 of September, when they celebrated their love at the chateau. Their love for each other and their daughter Isabella was really present. The day started inside the chateau for some preparations shots and ended up in the beautiful decorated marquee. The food was really something extra and a live band made sure that the guests danced under the moon lit sky.
Thanks Georgina and James for making me a part of your day!

Anna and I met for the first time the same day I took these portraits of her. Actually she didn’t knew that she was going to a photo shoot. Anna’s friends made this shoot possible in a very important time of her life. As you can see Anna was great in front of the camera. She is not a model but she instantly understood the feeling that I wanted to accomplish - happiness, beauty and melancholy.
- Fantastiskt vackert! Som vanligt. Den med valven i bakgrunden är så läcker. Lite kul att jag fotade mitt brudpar på stenbänken där Anna sitter, några timmar senare. Underbart jobbat!October 15, 2009 - 3:19 pm

The London based couple Bridget and Matt gathered their friends and family at Chateau La Durantie in France for one week of celebrations. I had the privilege to document their day. Their wedding was on a Friday and they got married in small village in the French countryside. The weather was rainy but at least we got a few minutes outside for the portraits. This wedding will also be featured in a British wedding magazine. Lots of fun!

The past weeks have been so much fun! I landed in Stockholm last friday for a short touch and go to Rockelstad slott for a cold rainy wedding yesterday. Now I’m back at my office trying to catch up a ton of work. The upcoming month will be really intense. My to do list seems to be a never ending story. I have so many photos to share with you and I will start with a sneak preview from yesterdays wedding. The rain was pouring down but I had a happy couple that didn’t complain at all and a brilliant assistant. Thanks to Marie and Thomas for agreeing to take some outdoors photos despite the weather.

I’m still in France working and I’m really enjoying my time here. Today I’m preparing for tomorrow’s British wedding at Chateau La Durantie. Next week I will travel around in the Dordogne area with a journalist to work with a reportage for a Swedish magazine about the walnuts trees that are very popular here. Please be patience if you have sent me an email or tried to phone me.
