Mette Nivala

I’m Mette Nivala, a wedding photographer working from Janakkala. My approach to photographing weddings is simple: I aim to capture your day as it is — authentic, light-filled and full of feeling. I specialize in a documentary and natural style that blends subtle direction with a relaxed, warm atmosphere. The result is a collection of images that feel like you and that bring the emotions of the day back to life each time you look at them. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? I handle every moment with gentle presence — many couples describe me as relaxed and easy to approach, which helps create natural moments in front of the camera. I take my work seriously and pay attention to detail, while keeping the day itself calm and unobtrusive; the most important thing is that your celebration unfolds in its own way, without the photography taking over. My working method combines documentary storytelling with beautiful portraits: I photograph spontaneous in-between moments as well as intimate couple portraits that become cornerstones of your memories. I don’t rely on rigid posing; instead I offer gentle guidance and encourage genuine presence — often the best images appear a little later, once natural interaction has emerged. Engagement photography is a natural part of my offering. An engagement shoot gives you the chance to get familiar with my style before the wedding day and produces images you can use for invitations, announcements or social media. I’m happy to travel not only around Janakkala and the surrounding area but throughout Finland to capture your special day. Working with me is personal and flexible — we start with a conversation about your wishes, plan the mood of the shoot, and ensure the final images reflect your story. I’m passionate about photography and committed to delivering atmospheric, timeless photos you’ll return to with a smile for years to come. Get in touch, tell me about your wedding day and dreams, and together we’ll plan a photography experience tailored to you.
