I am Riina Puonti, a wedding photographer based in Turku who focuses on storytelling and capturing authentic moments. I approach wedding photography with a documentary yet warm style: I seek small gestures, sincere expressions and the natural atmosphere of situations so the photo series tells the full story of your day without excessive direction. My aim is that the photographs feel like you — honest and timeless. My way of working is built on a calm presence and mutual trust. I do not want to interrupt the flow of the celebration; I strive to blend into the day so I can record moments as they happen. Before the wedding we discuss your wishes and the mood you want in the images. This pre-wedding conversation helps build trust and ensures the shooting style and expectations meet. A documentary approach does not exclude gentle direction when it’s needed — relaxed couple portraits and intimate moments often arise with a little guidance in a natural environment. I also offer engagement shoots that serve as a beautiful preview and a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day: they help you relax and create a foundation for the main coverage. I work primarily in the Turku area, but my documentary practice has accustomed me to photographing in a wide range of environments and situations — from intimate city weddings to larger celebrations. I value careful post-processing and deliver image galleries that preserve the atmosphere and clearly and beautifully narrate the stages of the day. Your images are edited to maintain mood and authenticity while ensuring consistent, high-quality results. By choosing me as your wedding photographer you will have a calm, present professional who prioritizes narrative and genuine emotion. If you want photographs that stand the test of time and bring back the feeling of your day, get in touch and let’s talk about the kind of coverage that suits you best.
