Hi, I'm Polina.

Muotokuva naisesta studiossa neutraalia taustaa vasten.

Clean aesthetics.

Honest emotion.

Playful & intimate human moments.

I photograph weddings with an editorial eye and an intuitive feel for people, light and atmosphere

— creating images that feel refined, alive and unmistakably yours.

The moments you didn’t even know were happening

We went through the photos properly — and wow.

You have an incredible ability to blend into the moment and notice the small situations worth capturing.

There are so many photos of me where I had no idea I was being photographed, and those are some of my favourites because they feel so natural.

Anyone can learn the technical side of photography, but these images have something truly special — something that is uniquely yours.

I absolutely love your editing style. The tones are simply beautiful.


Fiia & Tino, 2025

When your plans go beyond the classic wedding day


Some weddings follow tradition. Others find their own rhythm.

Your celebration might be an intimate evening gathering, a forest elopement, a city wedding, a carefully styled villa celebration or a multi-day story abroad.

Wherever your plans begin, we shape the coverage around the way the day is meant to feel.

For multi-day weddings, destination celebrations or more complex timelines, additional planning support can be included in your tailored proposal.

Tell me a little about your plans.

Additional coverage on the wedding day


If the celebration naturally continues beyond the booked coverage, staying longer is usually possible.

The Wedding Photography Process

Hääpotretit Mustion Linnassa – pari paviljongissa järven rannalla.

I. Inquiry & CONNECTION CALL

Send a message or book a complimentary 20-minute online connection call. We’ll talk through the overall feel of your day, your wishes for the photography and whether my approach feels like the right fit.

Based on that, I’ll create a proposal.


Detailed timeline and location planning happens after booking, so this first call stays light, focused and easy.

II. Booking

Once we’ve found the right collection for you and you confirm the booking, I’ll send the contract and booking invoice.


The booking fee is 500 € (non-refundable) and secures your date in my calendar. It will be deducted from the final balance.


III. Planning

 

After booking, one detailed planning call is included. Most couples use it closer to the wedding day, when the schedule is clearer.


If you need guidance earlier, we can use this call to shape the overall photography flow first, and final details can be checked by email closer to the day.


Additional planning support is available if your celebration needs a deeper or more complex planning process.


IV. Final Invoice

 

 

 

Around one month before the wedding, I’ll send the final invoice. Once it’s settled, everything is in place and we can focus fully on the wedding day.

V. The Wedding experience



I’ll be with you for the agreed coverage time — and longer if needed.


I document genuine moments as they unfold and shape them into a visually strong story that feels natural and unhurried.


VI. Sneak peeks


 

 

Within a week after your wedding, you’ll receive a selection of sneak peek images.

 

VII. Final Gallery



Your final gallery will be delivered within two to three months after the wedding, depending on the length of coverage and the season.

I’m based in Helsinki and photograph weddings across Finland and Europe.
I work in Finnish, English and Russian — and know just enough Spanish to order coffee and dance bachata.

Do you photograph weddings abroad?

Yes. I’m based in Helsinki and available for weddings across Finland and Europe.
Travel arrangements are discussed individually depending on the location and schedule.

Do you photograph elopements or multi-day weddings?

Tell me a little about your ideas and I’ll create a tailored proposal.

Can we get support with the timeline and flow of the wedding day?

How many calls are included in the wedding photography process?

Before booking, we can have a complimentary 20-minute connection call. This is a light and focused call, not a full planning consultation, where we meet, talk through the overall feel of your day, your wishes for the photography and whether my style and way of working feel like the right fit.

After booking, one detailed planning call is included in your wedding photography package. Most couples use this call closer to the wedding day, when the schedule is clearer and the details are easier to shape.

During the planning call, we go through the photography timeline, the flow of the day, light, important moments, family photo wishes and possible portrait locations.

If you need guidance earlier in the process, we can also use this planning call to shape the overall photography flow first, and check the final details by email closer to the wedding day.

For multi-day weddings, destination celebrations or more complex timelines, additional planning support or a separate consultation can be included in your tailored proposal.

Can the coverage be tailored?

Absolutely. Every wedding is different, and coverage can be tailored depending on your plans and schedule.

How many photos will we receive?

The number of images depends on the length of coverage and the flow of the celebration.
As a guideline, full-day coverage usually results in at least 450–500 carefully edited images.

How many black and white photos will there be?

Black and white images are part of my visual style.
The exact amount varies depending on the light, atmosphere and moments of the celebration.

Do you guide portraits or is everything documentary?

Portraits are built more around atmosphere than posing.
I guide gently when needed, but many of the best images happen in between — in movement, glances and small gestures.
That’s why the portraits still feel natural and truly like you.

What if the schedule changes or the celebration continues longer?

I don’t stress about small schedule changes — I follow the natural rhythm of the celebration and focus on the moments that matter most.

If needed, coverage can easily be extended with additional hours.

Will our photos be used in your portfolio?

Yes, I use selected images in my portfolio and on social media, as this is an essential part of how I show my work. I always publish thoughtfully and with respect for privacy.

Identifiable portraits are not published without prior approval. Images of details, atmosphere, backs, surroundings or non-identifiable moments may usually be used without separate permission.

If privacy is important to you, we can discuss it in advance and include it in the agreement.

Is wedding videography available?

Yes. I collaborate with a small number of trusted videographers and can recommend someone whose style matches the atmosphere of your wedding.
