Salla Vesa-Tikkanen Photography

Salla Vesa-Tikkanen is a Lahti wedding photographer whose work is rooted in authenticity, presence, and storytelling. In wedding photography my aim is to capture the moments you might not even notice yourself—those images that will remind you of the day’s atmosphere for years to come. I approach weddings in a documentary-romantic way: following the event, looking for natural expressions and subtle details, and combining these with discreet direction when needed. Lahti and its surroundings are particularly familiar to me as shooting environments — I know the best locations and how to use local light and settings to create atmospheric wedding photos. I offer a holistic approach to wedding photography: we always start with a conversation, I listen to your wishes, and I work so that the final images reflect your story. I aim to create a relaxed and trusting atmosphere during shoots so that naturalness and the moment’s sincerity can come through. Engagement sessions are a natural part of my wedding services — they’re a great way to get to know my shooting style and provide a beautiful way to capture the pre-wedding mood. Working with clients is flexible and warm: we plan locations and schedules together, and I strive to make the photography day as effortless as possible. I adapt the style and pace of the shoot to best suit your day. If you want documentary, intimate coverage without heavy staging or visual storytelling that highlights unnoticed details, I’ll bring those qualities to your wedding photographs. I primarily work in Lahti and the surrounding area, and I’m happy to serve couples who value authentic memories and careful, personal service. If your dream is timeless, emotional wedding photography in the Lahti area, let’s get in touch — we can discuss your wishes and create a photographic story together that will last for years.
