Documentary wedding photography

I will capture an authentic photographic story of your wedding. Moments full of emotion, as they happen. You can focus on spending all of your special day with friends and family, and not worry about “photographic duties”. Think of me as one of the guests, but with professional eye and expert finesse to capture the emotions and ambience of your day into memorable photographs. Wedding portrait sessions and first-looks can be arranged separately, with my experienced guidance.

When in need of wedding photography, I’m at your professional service. I have customers ranging from Finland to Belgium and Italy, so anything in between and thereabouts is doable. :)

My motto ‘Memories of Moments’ is perhaps best evident in photographing weddings in a full documentary style. From bridal preparations in the morning to groom & bestman getting ready, wedding venue decorations by friends & family, guests arriving, first looks, finally to the ‘I do’s’ and thereafter wedding celebrations - the memories of feelings captured in those precious fleeting moments as they happen are captured by a professional documentary photographer on site. That’s me, yours truly.

Ooh-la-la moments as they happen

In my view the best, most memorable photographs are candid, unposed moments of your day - emotionally most engaging and lasting.

Oh wow…

Documentary photographs tell a story on their own, they captivate a fleeting moment into a lasting memory, just as the eye contact here. Oh wow.

Below some additional samples of my wedding photography. Private viewing of full documentary wedding photo sets can be arranged, as well.

What do couples say of my approach and results?

***Brussels, Belgium***
Documentary wedding photography throughout the official wedding day, from bridal preparations to the wows at the Town Hall, luncheon party for nearest & dearest, portraits at the Atomium park and finally the evening party at their home in Brussels.
The following year they threw a magnificent wedding gala in a luxurious venue in Chateau Bayard, Belgium for extended family and friends from around the world, and I was invited to photograph the whole day as well!

“Thanks to our photographer Markku for capturing our perfect day (again). His eye & skill to capture emotions in a room are amazing. We are so very grateful you were our official photographer 💙 thank you!”

“Daniele and I LOVE the photo book and album you gave us. You are wonderful — it was the best thing right after the wedding to see some of the faces and moments!”
