Wishing you a happy weekend with one of my favorit

Wishing you a happy weekend with one of my favorite photos from Henrika & Magnus' wedding 💫

As I've now pretty much caught up with my editing I will take next week off work and will be back again on the 18th of October. 😊🙏

Last week, at the end of a really tough season, I

Last week, at the end of a really tough season, I was reminded of what I love about documenting weddings.

It's using my skills to create beautiful photos that stack up into meaningful stories. It's about being present and open to life in front of me.

It is also about trusting my intuition and my creativity. I've been doing this for so long and have with time built such a clear voice that photography comes easy to me. While I doubt myself on many occasions, I very rarely do with a camera in hand.

This feeling of being in my element while always being free to experiment with new things, is something I don't want to give up. That realization was a relief since the struggles of the past couple of years have made my question if I even want to continue my photography work.

Last weekend at Henrika & Magnus wedding gave me an answer ti that question. I now know that I do want to keep telling stories and while I can't yet say how, where when, the simple "yes" is enough for now. There are more stories to come, I promise. 💫

Actual fottage of me getting ready for my last wedding of the season. 🦸✨

I woke up with a surprising amount of energy and good vibes considering I already had a long work week behind me.

I think the surge in energy was caused by the relief I felt of actually having made it this far.

It's been one hell of a year, with massive ups and downs, and I am so proud of myself for pulling through.

I've always showed up at work intent to do my best and even if I still have a fair share of stories left to deliver, my gut tells me I've done some great work.

THANK YOU to those who have worked with me this year ❣️ thank you for the trust you have in me and the patience you show when life gives proof that despite being one photography machine - I am still human.

I am overcome by joy and releief now that the season is over and really look forward to delivering all your stories. ✨💘

This Saturday I'm documenting my last wedding of t

This Saturday I'm documenting my last wedding of the season. I look forward to get to end this hectic season with a full day wedding in my favorite city and also to the weeks ahead, when I can curl up in my new workspace and focus on finishing and delivering some meaningful stories. 💫

I'm writing this from the wait room after finally

I'm writing this from the wait room after finally having gotten my second dosage of the vaccine. As I desperately hope that we are soon starting to see the end of this pandemic, I can at last admit to myself how tough these past two years have been for my work.

The constant uncertainty and the forever changing restrictions and plans have taken a lot of the joy out of my photography work. Together with a hectic time in my personal life, I am starting to feel like a candle burnt at both ends.

I have two more weddings coming up in September, but won't take on any more sessions for the rest of the year. Instead I will focus my time and energy on delivering beautiful stories to the people I've actually had the pleasure of meeting.

I once again want to thank you for your patience as my work now moves slower that I wish it would. I think your story will be worth the wait though. 💫

Untypical photo for me to share, but this right he

Untypical photo for me to share, but this right here is my little family and this is where I need to focus my time and energy during upcoming couple of weeks.

We're only days away from moving into the home we've spent the past 2 months renovating. I've dreamt of my own home since I was a kid playing the Sims (still do bcause greatest game ever) so right now I need to be present so I can enjoy this dream coming true.

This means I won't be as easy to get hold of during the upcoming couple of weeks. I'll be back in time for my second to last wedding of the season on the 18th, if you want to see what I'm up to in the meantime follow @julialillqvist_design 💫
