Porvoo-based wedding photographer Ilona Savola captures authentic wedding moments with a documentary approach and carefully crafted portraits. Engagement and couple sessions are tailored to you.
Are you looking for a wedding photographer whose work blends documentary sensitivity with careful portraiture? I’m Ilona Savola, a Porvoo-based wedding photographer who makes the experience first and foremost about people. Wedding photography is my passion: I aim to preserve the atmosphere and small, easily forgotten moments in a way that brings the feeling and story back to life every time you look at the images. I approach wedding photography from a documentary perspective — seeking natural moments, real reactions and the subtle nuances between scenes — while also ensuring beautiful, calm wedding portraits of the two of you. What matters most to me is that the photography process is a pleasant experience: a calm, reliable presence that allows you to be yourselves. That’s why I prioritize an initial meeting and careful shoot planning — together we’ll consider locations, mood and the kinds of images you want to keep as memories. My working style is warm and client-focused. Getting to know each other beforehand creates a relaxed and trusting atmosphere on the wedding day; often I photograph a couple or engagement session before the ceremony so posing feels natural and unfussy. On the wedding day I work unobtrusively, documenting events and catching moments you might not notice. I also reserve time for portraits — in a quiet moment it’s easiest to capture genuine emotion and flattering, natural light. I primarily photograph weddings around Porvoo but I’m happy to travel for destination ceremonies. I have experience with a wide range of celebrations — from intimate civil ceremonies to extended documentary coverages. Clients often tell me they value my ability to find and emphasize atmosphere and to combine narrative documentary storytelling with thoughtfully composed formal portraits. If you’d like a professional to take care of the photography on your important day and to create an image series that tells your story authentically and beautifully, please get in touch. We’ll plan a shoot that feels like you — whether you prefer documentary day coverage, classic wedding portraits, or engagement and couple sessions before the ceremony.
