Turku-based wedding photographer Ellen Kivistö captures your wedding with documentary, emotive photography. I offer clear planning, gentle portrait guidance and a password-protected online gallery.
I’m Ellen Kivistö, a wedding photographer working in the Turku area who focuses on documenting weddings authentically and with atmosphere. My work is grounded in presence: I want my images not only to show what the day looked like, but to convey how it felt. For couples who appreciate a nostalgic, heartfelt approach, my wedding photography offers a calm and reliable experience—like having a close friend at your side on an important day. My style blends documentary observation with gently guided portraits. At celebrations I am often a “fly on the wall”—unobtrusive but alert, ready to capture spontaneous moments. When needed, I will give soft direction during portraits so you look natural and your connection feels genuine. I plan each shoot according to your wishes: we discuss locations, timing and backup plans together so you can simply be present and enjoy the day. Professional experience and reliability are visible at every stage. I’ve worked as a photographer since 2015 and have shot hundreds of weddings, which allows me to anticipate light, movement and key moments. I ensure technical confidence with dual camera bodies, additional lighting and secure backups. Delivery is thoughtful and punctual: you’ll often get sneak-peek images as early as the next day and the complete gallery within the agreed timeframe. The shooting experience matters to me as much as the final photos. I handle preparations, share tips and a short guide to wedding photography, and we’ll meet for a planning session before the wedding—either in person around Turku or by video call. All images are delivered via a password-protected online gallery that makes downloading, sharing with guests and ordering prints easy. I also offer engagement and pre-wedding sessions as part of my wedding services if you’d like a mood-filled preview or practice for portraits. I accept assignments across the Turku region, throughout Finland, and I’m happy to travel abroad. Choosing me means receiving not just photographs but a careful, warm and stress-free experience—memories that feel important today, tomorrow and fifty years from now.
