After three weeks of travelling it feels wonderful to be back home to Finland to my lovely wife and three girls. Oh boy, I have missed them much.
It has been some great weeks in Stockholm and Amsterdam. Now I’m loaded with great pictures from fashion and wedding photo session. Now I have tones of pictures to edit, and I hope to get back to my clients as soon as possible with their pictures.
Below a picture from my last wedding in Stockholm…..more to see so.
Next wedding will be in Stockholm. I’m leaving for Uleåborg on Sunday, and on 28th of July we are leaving for Tallin/Stockholm. I hope to see you there and I’m looking forward to work with you on my next wedding over in Stockholm.
Urho Kaleva Kekkonen föddes för snart 108 år sedan, 3 september 1900. Det slog mig just att min äldsta dotter Antonia är född år 2000 men den 28 mars. Nu har hon dubbelt medborgarskap så hon kan kanske göra karriär både i Sverige och i Finland. Kekkonen ligger begravd ute på Sandudds begravningsplats i Helsingfors Finland.
Det känns märkligt att människor ska ligga begravda ute på kyrkogårdar. Jag har sagt till min fru att jag står gärna bredvid vår första hund i en urna. Vår Winston finns fortfarande kvar hemma hos oss i ett skåp över våra underkläder. Skulle jag dö nu så hoppas jag att min fru placerar mig bredvid Winston och inte inne i städskåpet.
Urho Kekkonens gravsten
When I work as a wedding photographer in the church I use two camera houses with different camera lenses attached on the bodies. It allows me to quickly change focal length without any delay or unnecessary clang. I am the first person receiving the bride and her father in time of the church. In an image that Johan Rosén has taken of me dressed in black, you see how I stand ready with two Canon digital SLR cameras.
I have a Canon Speedlite 580EX II flash mounted on each camera. Now I do not use the flash in each picture, but I try to vary the motives as much as possible. When I use flash light I try to bounce the light to any wall or ceiling as much as possible. In these pictures, I used the following settings on the camera; ISO 800, f/2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/40. As you can read in settings that it was the pretty dark in the church.
It pays for bride couple to move slowly in the church. They will get more and sharper images. If it goes too quickly, it is difficult to obtain sharp images specially whether it would be dark in the church. And a wedding photographer have time to perpetuate any event during the ceremony.
What are guys doing an hour before the wedding ceremony? Why not get together and have a glass of champagne or two at Hotel Kämp in Helsinki City Finland. Last Saturday me and my assistant Johan Rosén started with the bride groom Kalle at the hotel before the wedding Ceremony at Johanneksen Church.
Last Saturday I photographed a wedding for a fantastic fine bridal couple Annukka and Kalle both residing in Helsinki, Finland. It was throughout the 90 guests invited to the wedding and celebration held at the Yacht Club NJK near the Port of Helsinki.
It really paid off to have two photographers at the wedding and the couple can enjoy more pictures and some pictures with some cool effects like in this post of the first wedding dance.
My assistant and photographer Johan Rosén was behind the wedding the couple in this picture, and he hold up two flashes and a camera that was mounted on a tripod. Two Canon Speedlite 580EX II were connected to a Pocket Wizard (receiver). In the same bracket as the flashes was mounted, we had also mounted a Canon 20D with a 28 mm Canon f/1.8 lens. The camera, in turn, was linked to the same PW as the flash lights. (The flashes output set to 1 / 64 and the camera to f / 5.6 to ISO 800.)
On the opposite side of the flash setup, I stood and photographed. On my Canon 5D, I had a Pocket Wizard mounted, and while I took a pictures I also triggered both flashes and also the camera in same time.
It was the first time I tried this solution but we took some test shots the evening before the wedding shooting so we know that it would work. It was also possible do this kind of setups when you are not alone during the weddingday.
Come back soon to my blog and check out for more posts and photos of the couple from other occasions.
Last Sunday, photographer Johan Rosén and I met wedding couple Eeva and Lasse in Kaivopuisto (Brunnsparken) in Helsinki, Finland. We went through their plans for the upcoming wedding on October 18. They will be married in Kallio Church. The church was completed in 1912, and the composer Jean Sibelius has composed the music for the bells.
We took couple of pre-wedding shots in a cloudy summer afternoon. Photographer Johan Rosén assisted me with the light of the flash, two Canon Speedlite 580EX II mounted on a tripod. The flash light helps to get sunlight feeling.
