Somebody’s got married yesterday.

Evidently.

I adore weddings. I love being part of them.

Y’know, everything about weddings, from witnessing the very first look….

The first touch..

The chaos right before the ceremony…

The wedding portraits..

The looks…

The (many) kisses…

The warmth and joy coming from family and friends celebrating the holy matrimony together.

And little moments like this, mirroring the quirks and typical feats of the day, like the day being so hot…these are the reasons why I love being part of a couples special day.

Thank you so much, Mariann and Stein-Olav!

I did say more to come, didn’t I? :)

Yeah yeah. Somewhat (cough) overblown, I know..and darnit, I spot a..eh.. spot on my lens/image sensor… but still..slightly cool effect, no? Ahem.

The awesome bridal suite at Hotel Norge …

I really like this photo…everything is always about the bride, isn’t? :)

Now, considering the groom’s a chef, the brides brother’s a chef and well, a buncha friends at the wedding were chefs and stuff… it didn’t come as a surprise that the groom really wanted photos of the behind-the-scenes at the kitchen as well. Seeing as the brides brother were the kitchen's boss/co-owner it also meant allowance in there were no problem (despite how busy&hectic it was at times). Lovesit :)

The company’s Søtt+Salt, by the way. Amazing food, natch.

Sadly, as a wedding photographer I don’t drink at work. Darnit! I love me a nice glass of cognac =)

Ballroom dancing..

It was such a wonderful wedding, and I am happy I was chosen to be a part of it!

Just going through more photos, here’s some more faves that’s pre-approved..

Father of the bride….a liiiiittle stressed about the day, haha..:)

The little girl inside of me loves tiaras….

I dunno..pictures like this makes me happy…straightening out the underdress…

On with the belt..

And the shoes…

Love this photo of the little niece waiting for her auntie to walk the aisle…

Umbrella, tiara, shoes and veil…

Gorgeous flowers…

And a little I do…

*smile*

 

More tk…

So. Had to share a few wedding favorites…

You see, I had the pleasure of shooting sweet Nathalie’s wedding last night.

I’ve known Nathalie since Fall 2009, when I started at the local newspaper where I work at now. She’s always full of laugher and really is such a sweet girl. So when she asked if I wanted to shoot her wedding – well, what else could I say but yes? (after asking uh really, you want me? You sure??)

This is so, so Nathalie. She’s wearing full makeup & hair almost done, it’s like one and half hour left until she’s supposed to be at the church  – yet she insisted on doing the dishes in between so that they didn’t have to start the married life with old dishes. Haha.

Her mother did her wedding dress..I’m amazed at how well it’s done. Due to her being expecting, they had to wait with doing the finishing touches to the dress up until last minute.

Loved seeing how happy she was walking up the aisle…she laughed and smiled and greeted people along the walk…and look at the cute flower girls & boy!

I must say..my photobag sure steals the spotlight here..cough cough…

Sigh. The look.

The flower girl was being curious at who I might be..

Saying I do…

Yep. They did.

Oh yeah! Totally married now!

I’ll admit..Of all the photos I took this day..this one ranks so, so, so high up….dang..one of my favorites for sure!! Haha.

With the groom being a chef (and having worked at the hotel’s top restaurant), the staff added a lot of fun touches for them in the wedding suite.

Normally I dread when wedding clients insists that I do their formal portraits (I make sure to inform my clients I’m more of a photojournalist-photographer, not a portraitphotographer)..it’s so not my forté. I do feel I managed to get a few ok shots here though :)

Love this kind of portrait.

Looking dapper! And look, a bowtie! Bowties are so cool. Just ask Dr. Who!

Laidback groom.

Such a sweet couple, don’t you agree?

Now, no wedding speeches are complete without tears…

Or dance..

Or cake…

So pleased to be a part of this wedding!

Right. Time to get packed for this weeks trip! See ya around!
