In the end of June I had the honor of shooting Carl & Katerina’s (swedish) wedding at Fullerö Herrgård outside Västerås. And in September I got to photograph their (russian) wedding in Moscow Russia. I knew the Russian wedding would be something different because the theme was Karl XII meets Katerina The Great but I really had no idea what I was about to experience. Arriving at the airport (with my sweet friend and awsome second shooter Anna) we were greated by a personal driver with an enlargement of one of my pictures from their Swedish wedding (all the guests was greated this way). At the hotel we had champagne, russian sweets and a free mini-bar in our hotel rooms! (Phew, the hard life as a wedding photographer…) And, they had also made a magazine about their Swedish wedding. With my images everywhere. Crazy!
The day of the wedding, we woke up to find they decorated the intire hotel with lifesize enlargements of my photos from their swedish wedding. Where ever I looked, I saw my own images. Strange feeling. The wedding day was incredible (to see the photos click here), Anna and I worked from early morning ’til 3 am that day. (Then we had an hour to download images before we had to head to the airport to fly back to sweden and shoot another wedding the next day.) Crazy! Again!
So the other day, I recieved a package in the mail – Carl & Katerina’s thank you card. Or should I say, thank you magazine. Becausse they actually made an entire magazine from their 4 day Russian wedding. Filled with photos and gossip! I’m speachless. Honestly, how amazing! ♥
Yes – you can even find a little photo of me in it…!
