With so many options, it can be overwhelming. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. In this guide, I’ll help you navigate the process and introduce you to some of the best wedding photographers in Sweden (including myself 
). Let’s dive in!
What Makes a Great Wedding Photographer?
A wedding photographer isn’t just someone with a camera—they are storytellers, emotion-capturers, and your personal memory keepers. Before you book, consider these key factors:
1. 
Photography Style
Every photographer has a unique style. Which one speaks to you?
- Documentary (Candid, real moments, no posing)
- Fine Art (Soft, dreamy, magazine-like images)
- Editorial (Fashion-inspired, dramatic lighting, stylish poses)
- Classic/Traditional (Formal, timeless compositions)
“We wanted natural, candid moments rather than posed pictures. Our photographer totally got it, and now we have photos that feel truly ‘us.’” – Linnea & Henrik, Stockholm
2. 
Connection & Communication
Your photographer will be with you all day—make sure it’s someone you click with! Schedule a call or in-person meeting to discuss your vision, comfort level, and expectations.
3. 
Familiarity with Swedish Venues
A local photographer who knows the best lighting, hidden gems, and iconic locations can make all the difference. Whether you’re getting married in Stockholm’s old town, a cozy forest in Dalarna, or a grand estate in Skåne, experience matters.
“Our venue had tricky lighting, and we were worried about dark photos. But our photographer knew exactly how to handle it!” – Sofia & Emil, Gothenburg
4. 
Pricing & Packages
Wedding photography is an investment. The price varies depending on coverage hours, number of photographers, and extra services like albums or engagement shoots. A professional will clearly outline what’s included in their package.
5. 
Reviews & Testimonials
Check reviews and client testimonials. A photographer’s past clients can give you a true picture of what to expect.

Common Wedding Photography Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
Even the best-planned weddings can have hiccups. Here are some common mistakes and how to prevent them:
1. 
Not Booking Early Enough
Great photographers get booked up fast—sometimes a year in advance! Secure your date ASAP.
2. 
Not Planning for Weather
Swedish weather is unpredictable. Have a backup plan for rain, whether it’s stylish umbrellas or an indoor alternative.
3. 
Rushing the Photoshoot
Good photography takes time. Plan enough time for portraits so you’re not stressed.
“We only scheduled 15 minutes for portraits, and we felt rushed. I wish we had planned at least 30-45 minutes.” – Elin & Jakob, Malmö
4. 
Skipping the Engagement Session
An engagement shoot helps you get comfortable in front of the camera, making your wedding day photos even better.
5. 
Not Clarifying the Contract
Read the contract carefully! Make sure you understand what’s included, delivery timelines, and cancellation policies.
Final Tips for Booking the Best Photographer
- Shortlist 3-5 photographers and compare their work
- Book a consultation to see if you vibe with them
- Ask about their approach to wedding day logistics
- Trust your gut—your photographer should feel like the perfect fit
