Wedding Day



Winter weddings have a quiet beauty all their own, and Minette and Erik’s day was a lovely example. The celebration began with a gin and tonic cocktail hour at Minette’s parents’ home in Kruununhaka, where their closest family and friends gathered before the ceremony. Good conversation and easy laughter set a warm, relaxed tone for the day.

From there, the group walked to Tuomiokirkon kappeli for a small, personal ceremony. Only the people closest to the couple were present, which made every moment feel meaningful and unhurried.

The day continued at Villa Furuvik, where the winter setting added a calm, understated elegance. There is no single right way to celebrate a wedding, and Minette and Erik’s intimate day shows how beautiful a small celebration can be. I captured the day on both 35mm film and digital, so every detail, from the cocktail hour to the final toast, has a timeless, natural feel.

If you’re planning an intimate winter wedding in Helsinki, these smaller celebrations can be just as memorable as the big ones.
