We had a great photo session before the wedding! Here are some of the moments we captured. Enjoy!

On their wedding day, it was raining cats and dogs, and it didn´t look like we would have a very pleasant wedding photography shoot outdoors. But only 15 minutes before we had agreed to meet, the sky cleared, and we had a great and fun photo session together.

Bjørn and Helle, were are a really relaxed and down to earth kind of couple on your big day. I am glad I got the chance to capture snapshots of you and your beautiful family. All my best wishes for a happy life together! :)

Below are some snapshots of the wedding couple and their closest ones.

The little one was really cool, and rocked so much on all pictures! I loved it when she brought her little guitar with her, she so wanted to have it on some of the photos. And worked really well :) I´m happy to get to know you guys, you were really fun to photograph!

This little girl has a smile that can melt everyone around. At least she melted my heart, and gave me some wonderful smiles during our photoshoot that lasted around 1,5 hours in total. We had lovely sunny weather in this late september weekend (yep, I’m waaaay behind in my blogging), and the beautiful area around one of the museums in Trondheim created a wonderful scene for the shots of this wonderful girl.

The rain were pouring down this early summer day, but that didn’t take the glow of their great day. We started off early with Janicke at the hairdresser, doing the hair and the little details necessary. She was calm during the whole “getting ready session”, and seemed to enjoy it all through the rest of their wedding day :)

After the hairdresser was finished, we went back to their home, where the makeup and the beautiful weddingdress were to be put on.

Janicke really had eyes for the little details to make the day just as perfect as she deserved.

Janicke and her bridesmaid had a really cool and relaxing session during makup and fitting of the weddingdress.

When taking the formal weddingshots, the rain were pouring down, and we had to use our indoor backup location. But it worked out pretty well. Janicke and Arne, you were really fun to photograph!

Just before we were to wrap up the formal photosession, the weather cleared up, and we actually managed to get a few very successful shots outdoors! That really made the day for the photograper! And all honour to Janicke; you beat the freezing cold summer(?!) temperature that we had that day, and made those outdoor snapshots just perfect!

Janicke and Arne, thanks for letting me capture your special day! I had a blast, and it certainly seemed that you were enjoying it as well :)

But they are not my typical “best shots” from 2010. Instead, they are taken in situations where I have been with people I care about and people that inspire me… and these snapshots of course bring out good memories :)

"Look towards the end goal"

Before starting out the wedding photography journey February last year, I used lots of time preparing myself, both technically and mentally for what I really wanted to do with my photographic skills; capturing the moments for two people on their most important day. Before having a single wedding booked in January 2010, I imagined a certain number of weddings I would photograph during 2010. A number that I actually thought would be way to ambitious. And now, in the beginning of 2011, I can look back and see that I actually managed to reach my overly ambitious goal! But more important; I have met new fabulous people and experienced a lot new things!

Try to write down your own personal goal for 2011, and follow your dream! :)

"Keep the right things in focus!"

I have decided that 2011 for me will be a year where I will be looking forward to new and exciting possibilites, both with my family and at work (both in photography and “my real work”). But I also want to make sure that achievements in 2011 are not only my own “egocentric” goals; I want to share positive happenings in 2011 with my family and my friends, the ones I love.

"Keep balance in life..."

“Relationships to the one you love are one of the most important things”.

"Don't miss the larger picture"

To all my readers; have a good, safe and prosperous 2011! I leave you off by a quote found in “7 habits of highly successful people“;  an inspiring book about life and human interaction:

We are what we repeatedly do, exellence then is not an act, but a habit

Aristoteles

With this blog post I wanted to give you a glimpse of what contributes to make my life complete… :)

I also hope that you all are having a happy and joyful  holiday celebration together with the ones you love!

Best wishes from me to all you photographers and other friends reading my blog out there… have a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year  :)

The little smile, or the small moments where our eyes meet, as if the little ones are just making sure, if… “can you see me, dad?”… It’s magical, and it’s impossible to describe how it makes you feel alive :)

I have had the joy of photographing other kids and other families lately… and in a very little amount of time learning a little about the “family chemistry” being unique in each and every family is incredible exiting. The biggest challenge, though, is to capture all it’s uniqueness through the lens. Below are some captures taken a couple of weeks ago of two really cool little guys :) Enjoy!

No, it’s just me being a little slow with my blogging :)  Way to late is the full post from Marianne and Odd-Magne’s wedding finally written.
Below are some of the shots from the lovely winter wedding held for the two lovebirds in late February this year. It was a truly amazing wedding with friends and family. Thank you very much for letting me capture your most important day, Marianne and Odd-Magne!
