Weddings

by Michael Silkesjöö

Honestly, wedding photography is challenging for me. It can't go wrong! Whatever happens, happens there and now and cannot be undone. It's with a terrifying delight that I've photographed a few weddings.

I prefer to photograph the bride and groom before the wedding takes place because then I can help those who are getting married to be relaxed and forget that they are probably very nervous - for a little while.

So far, I have mostly photographed traditional wedding photos. For my own wedding, however, I had a vision where I wanted to play with contrasts. I asked our photographer to take images with colorful graffiti backgrounds that contrasted to our black and white dress suits. See an example above.
