Valokuvaaja Peero Lakanen

I’m Peero Lakanen, a Tampere-based wedding photographer who approaches wedding photography as personal storytelling. A wedding day is full of once-only moments — my job is to anticipate, observe and capture them authentically and beautifully. My particular strengths are in environmental and portrait photography, and I love using the location’s atmosphere and natural light to create images that feel made for your day. Why choose me as your wedding photographer in Tampere? With over 20 years in the field and several competition awards, I bring solid technical expertise and a refined visual eye. I work with a documentary sensibility — following events naturally to capture genuine expressions and fleeting emotional moments — while also calmly directing couples to achieve elegant, timeless portraits. My priority is that the shoot feels natural and relaxed; that’s how authentic expressions and moments emerge. My working style makes use of both the possibilities of the environment and the controlled light of the studio. On-location shoots often use surroundings to create mood — a shoreline, a park path or architectural details as backgrounds — whereas studio sessions let us craft a precise look and lighting. I also offer engagement photography as a relaxed rehearsal and mood-setting session before the wedding day. I work openly and carefully with clients: we discuss your wishes in advance, plan locations and timing, and I aim to make the photography day as smooth as possible. The result I strive for is meaningful images — photographs that bring memories back to life every time you see them. Every image has a purpose, and every purpose has an image.
