I film five weddings per year across Sweden and the Nordics – castles, city halls, islands and midnight sun.

For couples with family an ocean away
For a transatlantic couple, a wedding film isn't a keepsake – it's how half the family gets to be there.
The grandmother in Florida who couldn't make the trip to Sweden will watch your film twenty times.
The college friends who missed the toasts will finally hear them. I film every speech, every vow and every quiet moment in between, and I deliver films made to be shared across time zones – including a teaser within one week, while the celebration is still fresh.
Tears. I'm sad I couldn't be there, but this captures what might be the best moment.

Two continents of family and friends, a Swedish venue and a day that moved naturally between Swedish traditions and American toasts.
A bilingual wedding needs a bilingual filmmaker
Swedish-American weddings live in two languages, and so do I. I capture the Swedish speeches and the English toasts with equal care, and I can subtitle the Swedish parts in English – or the English parts in Swedish – so everyone can follow the story.
Philosophy
It's a day to live, not a production to manage.
When you hire me, it's just me. No crew, no large rigs and no bright lights. I stay close enough to capture what matters and far enough away to let the day unfold naturally.
I've filmed weddings since 2011. My goal is simple: to go unnoticed.

A few of the weddings I've filmed
An English-speaking Swedish wedding. Every speech, captured in full.
A Swedish groom, an American bride, and a Swedish castle
A long overdue ‘THANK YOU’ from the father of the bride. As a professional photographer for over 40 years, I can honestly say that I was incredibly impressed with the results, it will be treasured by us for many years to come. I have played it over and over many times to my friends and clients and the reaction is always the same - SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

My way of working
Focus on you
I film five weddings a year. Not more. It's a deliberate choice – you shouldn't become one couple among many.
I'm happy to be involved from the planning to the last dance. You don't need to perform for the camera. I give very little direction during the day; the best moments usually happen when you forget the camera is there.
I take the time each film needs to meet my highest standard.
Smiles, laughter and real emotion. That's what makes a great film. Nothing else, I promise. No stiff, awkward posing – just the occasional small request. The best material is usually found in the moments in between, where it's just the two of you.
I recommend each couple to set aside just a moment during the reception in order to take advantage of the evening light. It’s an opportunity for you to get a moment to yourselves, relax and enjoy each other.
For planners
Planning a destination wedding in Sweden?
I'm used to working alongside planners and photographers, coordinating around the day's schedule while keeping my footprint small. I can join planning calls across time zones, share venue knowledge and adapt the filming to the way you want the day to unfold.
One filmmaker. Minimal footprint. Complete attention on your couple.

Included in every booking
Meetings
We meet well ahead of the wedding and go through all your expectations and wishes. We review your schedule and I'm happy to offer input if you'd like.
Full day coverage
Forget packages with a set number of hours. I stay as long as the day carries you – from the quiet preparations in the morning to the night when everyone's let loose and is just dancing.
Post-production
It's common for me to spend a full week on your highlight film alone! I go through all the material from the day and select the best moments. Editing and color grading are done in industry-leading software so I can deliver top quality.
Music licensing
All music used is purchased and licensed, allowing for online publishing without any rights issues. Typically 4–5 songs are used for a feature film and 1–2 for the highlight film. I have access to a large music library and select a soundtrack that fits your wedding specifically.
Online viewing and downloads
I create a dedicated page for your films that you can share with family and friends. All films can also be downloaded so you can watch them offline.
Questions from couples planning from abroad
-
It's my specialty. I film speeches and vows in both languages with equal care, and offer English subtitling of all Swedish content (and Swedish subtitling of English content). Your film works for every guest list.
-
Video calls, at times that work for your time zone. If possible, we meet properly when you arrive in Sweden, ideally a day or two before the wedding.
-
Through your private, password-protected screening page – streaming from anywhere, with download available. The teaser arrives within one week; the full films within 90 days.
-
Yes – across the entire Nordics, from Norwegian fjords to Icelandic lava fields. Travel and accommodation are added at cost outside Sweden; everything else stays the same.
-
Absolutely. I'm used to working alongside planners and photographers and keeping a low footprint throughout the day.
