Riikka Kyläheiko Photography

I’m Riikka Kyläheiko — a wedding photographer based in Turku who specializes in telling love stories through images. I studied photography in Southern California, and the light and color of California have stayed with me: my images are fresh, light-loving and emotive. I focus on documentary wedding photography: I look for the natural moments of the day, bursts of joy and quiet looks. What matters most to me is that the experience behind the camera feels natural to you — portrait sessions are approached as a comfortable moment for the two of you rather than rigid posing. That’s how authentic, everyday moments are captured — the kind you’ll want to revisit years from now. I particularly enjoy small weddings and elopements, where intimacy and genuine atmosphere shine through. Although wedding photography is my core skill, I also photograph events and portraits to complement my storytelling. Engagement shoots are a natural part of wedding photography — they help you relax in front of the camera and create a shared visual style ahead of the big day. My working method is collaborative: I want to hear your wishes, get to know the venue and the rhythm of your celebration, and plan the shoot so it blends seamlessly into your day. Careful preparation and conversations before the wedding ensure that the important moments are captured naturally. In final image editing I aim to preserve the authentic mood and color palette — together we find the best expression for your story. If you’re looking for a Turku-based wedding photographer who values authenticity, light and color, my approach might suit you. I work thoughtfully, respect your day and strive to make the final result feel like you — a narrative you’ll want to share and keep. I believe the best photos come from people and moments, not excessive staging.
