Laiza K

Laiza K (Elisa Karhula) is a wedding photographer working from Kokkola whose core expertise is wedding photography. In my images the story is paramount: I aim to record the genuine emotions, small expressions and moments that make your celebration unique. With over ten years of experience I am confident working in fast-changing situations and anticipating the moments that create a cohesive photo series you’ll want to return to for years to come. My style sits between documentary and atmospheric — I strive to be present but unobtrusive so the natural flow of the day remains intact. I don’t seek staged theatrics but rather real moments: the quiet minutes of getting ready, the emotion of the ceremony, the connections that appear in portraits and group shots, and the overall mood of the reception. Engagement sessions are a natural part of my services; they’re a great way to get to know my approach and create a calm moment together before the big day. I live and work in Kokkola and across the Central Ostrobothnia area, but I’m happy to travel further when needed. I plan each wedding photography project together with the couple: a pre-wedding meeting helps us build a shared vision and ensures important moments aren’t overlooked. I primarily shoot on location — natural landscapes, coastal backdrops or the venue you’ve chosen provide a beautiful frame for your images — but studio photography is available if desired. It’s important to me that the entire photography experience feels relaxed and genuinely enjoyable. I approach couples with warmth and calm; I want the images to arise naturally without excessive direction. My creativity, background in visual arts and the European Photographer distinction influence how I handle light, mood and composition — always with the goal of creating images that move you.
