Summer bride

Walking into the courtyard at Stockholm City Hall, this was the first thing I saw. A bride standing on the stairs having her photo taken by a photographer that I have seen here several times. RS Photo. And as I already had my camera ready, I took the top photo, before continuing my walk over to the garden where I sat down for a bite to eat. A few minutes later the photographer and the wedding couple, now also with the groom, joined me down by the water at the Riddarfjärden Bay, so I took two more photos, because why not.

A moment in time

I was on the bike cycling over the Stockholm City Hall bridge when I saw them. So I lifted the Canon and snapped a few quick photos while still pedaling. Kinda made my day, this photo encounter.

The Wedding Photographer

A Summer wedding is never wrong. I happened to be at a gallery garden a while back on a day when at least three couples decided to get married in the Medieval church in rural Österhaninge. On the first photo you can see Rickard and Anneli Furustad from Trollbäcken happily posing with their two kids for their official wedding photographer, and me. It was the warmest day of the year so far, and the sun was shining from a clear blue sky, so they really picked the right day for the wedding. I walked over to the next couple and asked if I could get a photo, their wedding photographer muttered something that I took as a yes. The third wedding couple arrived to the garden as the second couple was still being photographed, and the muttering photographer told everyone that this was his area, his social talents is something he needs to work on, but he sure was dedicated. I grabbed my third photo from a table at the gallery garden where I was having coffee. Congrats to all three couples. If you would like to see photos of the old church, check out my flickr set.

A Summer Wedding

Summer arrived to Stockholm over the weekend. And that was when Liliann and Magnus got married. I met them in Handen where a photographer were busy taking their wedding photos, so I decided to join in. The civil wedding ceremony took place later in the day at Stockholm City Hall (where the Nobel Ceremony takes place every year). The happy couple comes from two different parts of Sweden and now lives in Tungelsta, at The Unshovelled Alleyways that I showed you back in March. Their respective families met for the first time on Saturday, and after the ceremony they all went on a cruise with Birka Princess. In the wedding bouquet there's a Germini called Picture Perfect. And I think this photo is picture perfect.

Bride & Groom

Traditionally the Pentecost weekend is very popular for getting married in this country. So I wasnt all that surprised to see this happy couple having their wedding photos taken close to the Västerhaninge church on Saturday. I figured they were 100 Strangers material and walked over for a chat. The wedding photographer, and his helpers (probably the Best Man and the Bridesmaid) looked very busy, so I decided to make it a short stop. Closing in on them I recognised the photographer. It was Clintan. I said hello, explained what I was up to, and took a few quick shots. This is Rickard and Jenny. They live in Västerhaninge and have two kids. After the ceremony there was a wedding party at the nearby Bygdegården for 65 of their closest friends and family. Any wedding trip planned, I asked Jenny. Yes, we are flying to Las Vegas on Sunday morning! I wished them a happy day and a great time in Las Vegas. This is my 30th photo for the 100 Strangers project. You can see the rest of my strangers in my Set.
