Meet your Elopement Photographers in Sweden
Hello, We are Irene & Rickard.
A husband and wife elopement-photographers team, lighthearted and fun, easygoing artistic people. With us you will get the most amazing pictures and adventure. I, Irene, work as a freelance-journalist and photographer and my work and photography has been published in many major national magazines. We are locals and live in Västervik knowing all the most beautiful and best secret spots. Rickard is the photographer with the eye for detail, usually always having silly jokes or interesting mythological tales at hand, the practical handy down to earth type who makes sure the schedules are kept, the places are reached and the visions actually made come alive and true. As a strong believer that food is the true way of staying happy over time, he always brings snacks, fruits and bars to keep everyone happy – read – not hungry 😉
We love artistic original ideas, gifs, double-exposures and for us it’s important that the couples we work with are feeling comfortable to be themselves. We capture candid moments, the true essence of YOU and YOUR love, but we will sometimes pose you and guide you by promts in a way that feels natural and comfortable and fun for you, to create the most artistic photos. We rarely to almost never have “look into the camera – and smile” photos, because frankly, that’s mostly awkward and not so very natural. We capture your adventure and your Canoe Wedding moments, your essence and your unique lovestory, to create memories for you to cherish for a lifetime.

Elope in Sweden - Comments
When you elope in Sweden, there is possibility to reschedule your Canoe Wedding by +-2 days in case of bad weather, but it can proceed in light rain.
We are locals and know all the most beautiful secret places. We are going to adapt the adventure to your wishes as far as possible, so you will have the most beautiful Canoe Wedding adventure. We offer flying dress photography if you wish, and we will do our best to help you with flowers, hairstylist and all that you may want as far as possible, but it’s not included, in your Canoe Wedding.
We are very lighthearted and it’s important for us that you feel comfortable being yourselves. We follow leave no trace principles which means that every place where we photograph and where we take our couples, should be left in the same way or better than before we came, leaving no trace after us. It’s important to know that your wedding is happening in nature, but still not far outside a city, in nature that is easily accessible for the public, so there might be other people nearby. We can’t guarantee 100% that you will be alone during all the time, but this is non-commercial places and we will make sure to make your Canoe Wedding in Europe as private as far as possible for you.
LGBTQIA+ friendly: All couples are Welcome, love is love.
There is no possibility of legally getting married.
We can guide couples on what’s needed for a legal marriage if they choose to elope in Sweden, including information on required documents and contact details for relevant authorities. However, it’s usually easier for couples to handle the legal marriage process in their home country and have a symbolic ceremony with vows in Sweden. If a legal marriage in Sweden is preferred, we can assist as described above.

Elope to Sweden - Tips & Info
Comfortable shoes so you are able to walk on uneven flat cliffs/ rocks (no need for boots, but maybe comfortable sneakers is a good option). If you decide to elope in Sweden, you can also bring high-heels, but you will need to change your shoes between locations.
Bath-suits, swimming clothes. If you decide to elope in Sweden, please note that bathing and swimming are possible, but there are no beaches or good places to stand. The seabed is very slippery, so make sure to bring bathing shoes or be prepared to hop in from the rocks.
Remember to bring comfortable clothes to change into if you decide to elope in Sweden. You will most likely get wet while canoeing. This adventure might (doesn’t have to, but there is a risk) get your canoe wedding clothes dirty in the nature and you might get wet. During summer it’s warm, so bring light clothes and something warmer for the evening. Bring pajamas if you need. We will lend you two sleeping bags, pillows, and a tent.
Where the tent is there is NO electricity, NO water, NO fridge, NO nothing basically because you will be alone in the nature for one night. Super romantic, right? 😉 You have the sea, forest and for toilet visit you will have to do it in nature too. But there are no people nearby. Because you will be in non-commercial places in the nature – a real adventure.
After receiving your Canoe Wedding photos, you can purchase printed albums and other products from the online gallery.
