Wedding photo

Malin has been working as a wedding photographer and she’s enjoying it more than ever. Photographing weddings has become her speciality.

Malin works as a wedding photographer and designer. “I love photographing weddings; seeing friends and family celebrate love is something truly special.” Capturing the magic of every moment, big and small, and meeting people I would never otherwise have met is why I love my job. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate wedding in a cottage in the countryside or a grand wedding at a castle, I’ll be there to capture your special day. My entire focus is on you and your loved ones. It’s all about genuine emotions, having fun and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

What’s the most important thing to bear in mind when planning your wedding photography?

01. Allow plenty of time for your portrait photos – I usually suggest an hour and a half to my wedding couples. This gives you, as a couple, the chance to relax a little more and achieve that natural look. It also means that, as your photographer, I have time to capture those fantastic shots you’re actually hoping for.

02. Have fun and relax – those are the photos that turn out best. I’ll be there with you, guiding you through every little detail, but I’ll also crack a few silly jokes to make you laugh!

03. Don’t forget to slot lunch into the schedule – it’s important so you don’t nod off at the altar!

Do you have to hire a professional photographer?

Of course, you don’t have to do anything in this world. But if you want a lovely record of the day, I’d hire a photographer.

A wedding photographer knows what sort of photos couples tend to appreciate and captures those little and big moments that an untrained eye might miss. Many couples find it a bit awkward to stand in front of the camera, but I can promise you it depends very much on who’s behind the lens. I’ll be right there with you, guiding you through every little detail, and I might even crack a few silly jokes to make you laugh!

How much time do you spend on post-production?

Twice as long, or even more, than the hours I spend on site.

What are your top wedding tips?

01. Book your photographer quickly! If you want a specific photographer, you need to do this straight away. During peak season, I’m booked up a year in advance, or sometimes even further ahead.

02. Have a really fun couple giving the toasts! They set the tone for the whole party!

03. Don’t put too much energy into making sure everything is perfect. It’s your day; all the guests are there to celebrate your love. So it doesn’t matter if the starter arrives half an hour late or if the cake happens to fall on the floor.
