Stockholm Wedding Photographer

Relaxed, Intimate and Fashion-Forward. Love stories, told through an effortless, documentary lens.

Relaxed, Fashion-Forward Wedding Photography in Stockholm with an Intentional Documentary Approach

I'm Emma Wiss, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden, documenting weddings across Sweden and a select few locations in Europe. I photograph weddings intentionally, as they unfold, with a relaxed documentary approach and a love for analogue film. Over the last six years, I’ve photographed more than 100 weddings, from fashion-forward elopements to intimate, relaxed city weddings and grand weekend celebrations. I move around your day like a backstage photographer, looking for candid moments, intimate gestures, bold juxtapositions and the details that have your personalities written all over them. 

“We wanted her to capture the real-life, candid moments throughout our day. Her photos are chic, cool and natural. For those of you who are not a fan of the staged, run-of-the-mill wedding photos, Emma is for you.”

-Rickard & Tara

What makes me different

I’m a relaxed, intimate wedding photographer based in Stockholm, Sweden, capturing your wedding with a documentary approach on film and digital. No forced smiles, stiff poses or hours-long photo sessions. Couples love my relaxed, intentional approach because they can truly enjoy their day and still get effortless photos.

A backstage, documentary approach that’s actually candid

I capture weddings as if they were the backstage of a fashion show in the 90s, or, as the evening progresses, the after-party we all wanted to be invited to. Without interrupting important moments, telling you to move to better lighting or directing your day, I move around the room with intention, capturing bold juxtapositions, fashion-forward details, big smiles and loud cheers. My relaxed, documentary approach to wedding photography will give you a gallery that will help you remember your day as it actually was. Just like your wedding, your gallery will be full of emotions and moments. Some images will be quiet and intimate, others loud or emotional, and, for the most part, completely unscripted.

A relaxed experience above all

Before the couple even receives any photos, they thank me for helping them feel relaxed – on and off camera. Rather than directing your day or your guests into perfect photos, I laugh with your friends and make sure your grandmother feels comfortable coming up to talk to me. I remind you to take a deep breath and make sure you both get a chance to sneak off for a moment alone. I help you with the timeline and navigate family situations – so you can focus on enjoying your day. All the while, I document you and your loved ones in an effortless, relaxed and candid way. Because after photographing more than 100 weddings, I truly believe that the best wedding photos from your chic Stockholm wedding come from when you’re fully immersed and present, dancing through your night without a care in the world.

Fashion-forward, vintage feeling with intention

With a background in fashion, a deep-seated love for analogue mediums, and a fascination with old street photos, I naturally take a fashion-forward, nostalgic approach to my work. My work is shot on, or inspired by, analogue film - always carrying that timeless feel of old photos. I document weddings intentionally on both analogue film and digital, always opting for the medium that best serves the moment – a hybrid approach gives you the best of both worlds.

“On the day itself, Emma made us feel completely at ease—her fun, relaxed energy turned the whole experience into something truly enjoyable. Beyond her professionalism, her talent behind the camera is extraordinary.”

-Nelly & Ben

About Emma Wiss, Based in Stockholm – Available for travel

I’m Emma Wiss, a Stockholm wedding photographer with six years of experience photographing weddings, and more than 100 weddings in the bag. I document weddings the way a backstage photographer would - completely unstaged and without direction, on analogue film and digital. 

Before I got into wedding photography, I had my eyes set on the fashion industry. While that was a short-lived relationship, my love for fashion, arts and personal expression often shows up in my work as a not-so-subtle nod to my background. I’ve been photographing everyday life on film for as long as I can remember, and I still carefully print my favourites. On my weekends off, you’ll find me at my local bakery, having breakfast with my husband and kid, or I’m out browsing vintage stores for unique finds.

We might be a fit if

Couples who hire me want to enjoy their relaxed, chic wedding in Stockholm to the fullest and have the day documented in a candid, effortless way on analogue film. They want photos that feel fashion-forward and effortless, without spending hours taking photos. If this sounds like you, keep reading. 

You want to enjoy your wedding, not be off taking photos

You’re planning a celebration of a lifetime, and you most certainly don’t want to miss out on the fun because you’re off taking photos for hours on end. The people who hire me want their wedding captured with a documentary approach and fashion-forward feel – as it actually was. Working with me is relaxed, with no stiff poses or do-overs. Most couples want a few effortless wedding portraits, but they don’t want them to feel staged or stiff, like the poses we’re used to seeing, and they want this part of the day done naturally and efficiently. 

You describe your wedding as a “relaxed celebration”

Whether you’re planning an intimate, fashion-forward wedding-slash-restaurant takeover in the heart of Stockholm, or a grand weekend celebration at the southern tip of Sweden, you want a relaxed and FUN celebration. Something you and your guests enjoy the heck out of. You’re intentional in your wedding planning, choosing carefully what traditions to incorporate into your day and which ones to leave out. From venue to guest list, food and details, it’s an event created solely to celebrate your love – not to fit the perfect picture of what a wedding should look like.

You’re an international, multicultural, or expat couple 

After living and photographing weddings in Dublin and Ireland for several years, a lot of the Stockholm weddings I photograph now are international or multicultural. Birds of a feather flock together, they say. I often help international couples plan their Stockholm city elopement or microwedding, and I love these celebrations dearly. Multicultural, urban, or international weddings have a special atmosphere; there’s no arguing that.

We worked with Emma on our elopement photography in Stockholm earlier this year, and we can't say enough about how lovely of an experience it was. Emma put as at ease the whole way through, scouted out locations to give our photos the perfect city feel, and captured so many organic and beautiful moments for us.

Emma was absolutely amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. We aren't very 'posey' people and we let Emma know this.
