PolkuVisuals

Are you looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true moments of your day without forced posing? PolkuVisuals specializes in documentary wedding photography and works primarily in Joensuu, Kontiolahti and the North Karelia region — but I’m happy to travel to photograph your wedding elsewhere in Finland. I’m Tanja: a photographer, registered nurse and someone who works professionally with people. My wedding photography combines a warm, human approach with a documentary eye — I look for genuine emotions, small sighs of joy, laughter and glances that tell a story without words. My working style is calm and guiding: I gently direct situations so the shoot feels natural and you don’t have to perform. Why choose PolkuVisuals as your wedding photographer? - Specialization in wedding photography: a documentary style that leaves room for real moments. - A people-focused approach: I build a relaxed, safe atmosphere where an unhurried mood arises naturally. - Experience and sensitivity: I notice the small moments that make the story touching and timeless. My process always begins with listening: we’ll discuss your wishes, the day and the moments that matter most — and if needed, we can arrange a complimentary video meeting or phone call. During planning we clarify the mood of the images and practical details so the photography day runs smoothly. On the day I remain present but unobtrusive, capturing both documentary moments and, when helpful, a few carefully guided portraits. In post-production the images are refined to match the emotion and style so they feel like you. I also offer engagement sessions, which are perfect before the wedding: they relax the atmosphere, provide material for invitations or social media and help you get to know my shooting style in advance. If you want wedding photos that look and feel like a genuine story — send a message. Let’s discuss how I can best capture the moments and emotions of your day.
