Earlier this year, I went to visit some friends in Sweden. They happened to be having a party while I was there and one of their friends happened to be a wedding planner. Obviously, we got chatting. When I got back to the UK, I received an email from the wedding planner asking if I would want to photograph a wedding in Sweden this summer as one of her clients had taken a look at my website and loved my images. Would I want to photograph a wedding in Sweden?! Hell yes!!
I knew that My and Marcus’ wedding would be amazing as soon as they described it as a “rock and roll wedding” to me! Complete with a vintage American car, skull jewellery, a stone amphitheatre and a Swedish castle. Oh, and a VERY hot day! I loved so much about their wedding, I just had to include loads of images in this blog post.
My and Marcus – I hope you love these images. You are an amazing and beautiful couple, and it was such an honour being asked to fly to Sweden to share your day with you. And I hope that no-one was too traumatised by me speaking “Swenglish” to everyone!

My’s grandfather is a big classic car fan and collector, so when choosing the car for their wedding, it was obviously going to be one of his. The only difficulty would be which one? But in the end it proved an easy decision, as My’s favourite had always been this pale blue American Roadmeister 75.
The church at Barsebäck was so light, bright and airy. A real wedding photographers dream.
My had been worried about it raining on their big day, especially as thunder storms were predicted. But it actually turned out to be the hottest day for about 20 years. It was sweltering!
The colour scheme was chosen because purple is Marcus’ favourite colour. I do love rich and vibrant colours, and it really worked so well with the bright sunshine on the day.
My and Marcus are such a beautiful couple, and totally in love. You could just see it in everything they did.
My had found this castle near to their reception venue during the week before their wedding, so when they asked if we could head over there for some photographs, I jumped at the chance.
My has a bit of a thing for skulls. She adores them. And it was so nice to see her bringing her personality out in her wedding details by wearing this gorgeous skull bracelet from Rock By Sweden.
Their wedding reception was in a marquee which was filled with chandeliers and candelabras. It looked amazing.
How gorgeous are they… really, they look like they have no cares in the world.
At midnight, everyone set off Chinese lanterns. the lit the sky beautifully in the midnight heat – it was still over 20 degrees!
