Alex & Nat - Suomenlinna Island Wedding Helsinki

Alex & Nat recently approached me to photograph their incredible wedding on Suomenlinna island Helsinki, just off the coast in Finland.

One of the great blessings of photography are being flown out to different countries to cover the most important day of a couple’s life.

Everything and I do mean everything about this wedding was epic! The couple, the guests, the setting, the attention to detail, the atmosphere, the weather (a freak finnish heatwave).

We were also honoured to have Rock My Wedding feature this incredible wedding on their website. Rock My wedding are the UK’s leading wedding blog so it was a real confirmation of just how unique and incredible this wedding was!

Such an an honour to be a part of. Here’s a few frames from the day…

Some information on the island:

The fortress of Suomenlinna is one of Finland’s most popular sights. It is only a very short ferry crossing away from Helsinki.

This base for the archipelago fleet was originally built midway through the 18th century, when Finland was part of the Swedish kingdom. In 1991, Suomenlinna was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The different parts of the six islands offer a variety of atmospheres; whether you are looking for a cheerful weekend with friends, a tranquil evening stroll or perhaps a jog – it is all made possible by the diverse routes and locations across the islands. During the summer when the nights are warm, it is possible to stay on Suomenlinna until rather late at night. The last ferry of the day departs from Suomenlinna at two o’clock in the morning.
