Gran Canaria is wonderful when it comes to it´s sunsets. And for us photographers, we of course love the opportunity this gives us to create wonderful memories for special moments by doing photoshoots during sunset. I love these shoots and do a lot of them all year around. That said, the most colorful sunsets are normally between October and May, but during the summer time, we can also have wonderful sunsets.   Here are some photos from a few...

Photographer: Mette Brandt Hair and Makeup: Giolina Braun/Beautiful Bride Company Venue: Het Ruiterhuys In July this summer, I had the pleasure to be booked to do Yukari and Simons wedding in their home country the Netherlands. It was no coincidence that I was booked to their wedding as I had already done a maternity shoot with them when they were on holiday here at Gran Canaria and we got such a good contact with each other. So when they asked...

This summer has been really busy for me. Yet I have not been able to take out any holiday, but I have really met many, many lovely people that I have been working with this summer.

Tove and Kristian got married in the Norwegian Church in Arguineguin, but they stayed at Bahia Feliz and really wanted us to...

Merethe and Glenn Wedding “Mette was the first we got in contact with on our favorite island Gran Canaria! She responded quickly and detailed to everything we wondered about!

All the details came with, all we did not manage to get along with us on the day we sit today and look at the pictures...

Line and Morten Wedding Photography “Mette was the first to contact in Gran Canaria after we thought of a secret wedding would take place on our already booked charter trip in the autumn vacation.

The wedding was already the day after arrival so our first meeting was outside the...

Honeymoon photography: I actually have a lot of couple photoshoots, and I absolutely love those moments with the couple and to work with the photographs after.

I always do these...

I have a lot of families I photograph around the island every year. I get a lot of emails with requests of photographing big families. Many families comes to Gran Canaria from all over Europe to celebrate an anniversary of their parents, who maybe celebrate 60, 70 or a marriage anniversary. Typical for these photo sessions, are that we take the group photo of the hole family, which maybe counts up to 20 people. Then we also takes a lot of...

Every year 100-150 Norwegian couples get married at Gran Canaria. And the only place Norwegians can get legally married on the island, is at Sjømannskirken in Arguineguin. I do photograph a lot of weddings there every year, and do not post so many here on my blog. So here is one I did this year, when Annette and Kai-Agnar got married. If you want to get married in this church, you should go to their web page and read about how you can get...

This photo session with this Norwegian family was very fun and a extremely nice experience for us. The family has lived and worked at Gran Canaria for some years, and the children have been students at the Norwegian school in Arguineguin. It was now time for packing up their belongings and going back to Norway. But first they wanted a photographer to capture some memories for them before they left. So one day Torstein called me and asked if it...
