I do a lot of weddings every year, and my clients are from all over Europe coming to Gran Canaria to get married. I am one of the photographers featured by the Canary Islands Tourist board.

It´s not every day I get the chance to be the photographer in a wedding where the guests don´t know they are going to be part of a wedding. Gerie and Pete (from The Netherlands), really surprised their grown up children by getting married while they thought they were going to celebrate Geries birthday and having a family photo session in Hotel Cordial Playa Mogan. Bernadette and Nancy at Perfect Wedding Company had organized it all very well and when the «children» and their little granddaughter arrived, we started with some few family...

To have a wedding on Gran Canaria is very safe when it comes to the weather. I will mostly be sun, warm and great weather. The day of the wedding for Jenni and Tatu, from Finland, was an exception. This day we had a real bad storm coming in, or should I say hurricane…I was so worried of the weather and have never been more prepared to do the photos in my photo studio as I was this day. It was an extremely strong wind and I could not see any solution for the shoot, except from doing the photography in my studio. But, it was just like...

Anette and Rune wanted to have their dream wedding at Gran Canaria, and very early in the planning process, I was contacted. And we had a lots of contact during the time before the wedding, actually for over a year. I was so excited, because they chose the wonderful H10 Playa Meloneras Palace to have their wedding reception at. I also got to work with Gran Canaria Wedding planner Bernadette Garside over at The Perfect Wedding Company again, which is always a pleasure. When working with Bernadette, I always know everything will be in the best...

Barcelona is a fantastic city. And very romantic. Tove and Tommy chose Barcelona for their wedding. They got married in the beautiful church Nostra Sra. del Rosario PP.

In September Wenche and Kjell Arne from Norway got married. And they had chosen to do so in beautiful Altea at the mainland Spain. Altea and surrounding areas, are so loved by so many Norwegians. And maybe not so strange. It’s just a short flight from Norway to Alicante, then a short drive up to the beautiful Altea, with all the orange trees, almond trees and the beautiful countryside, the good wine, the tasty tapas … and so on. The bride and groom had chosen to celebrate at an earlier olive oil mill, now redesigned into a...

Vickie and Steve is such a lovely and funny couple. They lives in England, near Newcastle, and decided to get married in lovely Mogan. At Hotel Cordial Mogan, they actually have a little chapel where you can get married or hold a blessing ceremony. Vickie and Steve had a real wedding ceremony in the chapel with a English catholic priest. It was a beautiful ceremony, but also very funny 😀 Vickie is so full of ideas, and even the priest had to smile and laugh during their ceremony. Cordial Mogan is such a lovely place to have a wedding, with...
