Markus Metsänen Photography

For the love of capturing moments — this is how I begin every wedding project. I’m Markus Metsänen, a photographer and videographer based in Jyväskylä, and wedding photography is my clear specialty. I approach weddings through both stills and motion because I believe the combined power of photography and film best reveals the authenticity and emotions of the day. My working style is rooted in a documentary approach with cinematic post-production. I aim to be present without disturbing the flow of the day — seeking light, interactions, and the small details that tell your story. Portraits are made in a natural, relaxed atmosphere: I guide when needed but also leave room for genuine moments so the results feel like you. On the video side, I pursue a cinematic mood and clear storytelling. I blend documentary cutting with deliberate filmed moments so the finished wedding film conveys the rhythm and meaningful moments of your celebration. When appropriate I also use aerial footage and personal sound recordings to enrich the work — these are tools I use to add variety and depth to your memories. Working closely with clients is important to me: we always start by discussing what matters to you on the wedding day. We plan the shoot together, take your wishes and logistics into account, and I stay in touch throughout the process — before the wedding, on the day, and during post-production. I want the photography experience to feel calm and trustworthy, because the best images often come when people can be fully present. In recent years I have developed my skills deliberately: studying different areas, reviewing instructional content, and gathering hands-on experience. This shows in my work as technical confidence and a creative eye.
