Gothenburg – Sida 3 – Bröllopsfotograf Oskar Allerby från Göteborg

The King and the Fisherman

Last week I had an unusual assignment, I photographed for the Swedish fishing magazine ”Fiskejournalen” and their premiere showing of the documentary ”Expedition: The old man and the sea” made by Martin Falklind. It was Cuban theme with a lot of people in all sorts of different dresses. But that’s not all. There was also additional things that happened during the evening. ”The Foundation of Baltic salmon” was inaugurated by His Majesty the King and chairman of the Swedish recreational fishermen Joakim Ollén. The Foundation will work to secure the wild Baltic salmon future.

So not only festive and mingling photo I also shoot the king, for instance when he cut the ribbon. Here you can see some of my press photos that were sent out.

Local shooting with Nina & Gustaf

The best weddings for me as a photographer are usually when I follow the wedding couple all day. And it’s often you feel that you do not want to leave them. You’re so close throughout their whole day.

Sometimes, however, the opposite is just as wonderful. Nina & Gustaf live in Goteborg just like me. In fact, they even live in the same house I lived in before. They were married just over a week ago in Masthuggskyrkan in Gothenburg. It is the church with best view (looking down over Majorna in the west). The view is so good that it even came a busload of French tourists and stopped us in our photography.

Nina and Gustav did not want a full day. In fact, they just wanted portraits. But we had just as good time. And as you can see they’re really nice, everyone. Especially their daughter Izabella. What eyes! And Gustaf’s beard, and Nina’s stomach, and the view …. Everything was actually super nice apart from the weather. Almost a little autumn rain in the middle of August. But it is at the same time the only thing you can not influence.

Here’s my portraits of Gustaf & Nina!

Engangement session on Magasinsgatan

”Hello Oskar,
it looks like it will rain on Sunday so we’ve found a pretty cool garage that we had borrowed the keys to. It is located on Magasinsgatan. Do you think it might work? ”

A slideshow

I shoot Malin & Peter’s wedding on the 12th August, and afterwards I made a little slide show to them. I tried to capture the feeling of their amazing day and wedding. I feel like I succeeded quite well. It do has swedish music, but you might like it anyway?!

Would you like to see it you just have to look into here

Love!

Preview of a preshoot

I don’t think I have to explain it any further, but next week I’ll give you the biggest preshoot submission ever.

An engagement session at Röda Sten in Gothenburg

You do know that I always do a engagementsession if you book any of my wedding packages. Last week I had the pleasure to shoot Åsa & Micke’s session. They’re gonna get married down at Röda Sten and Klippan in Gothenburg and would like to take their portraits around there. So we took the opportunity to check out the surroundings together. And do our engagement session och pre-photography as some call it.

They’re really a super nice couple and I look forward to be part of their big day. But first you’ll see their beautiful engagement session

Preview of Liza & Henrik

Now you will see a small preview of Liza and Henrik’s stunning wedding in Nääs outside of Gothenburg. It was the Swedish summer with all that implies. It was at the beautiful Nääs vänhem. And it was a night of many laughs and great music. You will all get to see it soon. But for now so you will have to do with some of the portraits, as a small preview.

Liza and Henrik are two really wonderful people. They are both very warm and cozy, they both shine, and above all at each other. Henrik’s joking, which even gives a photographer trouble keeping the camera still. Liza which meets up with small fun entries and her smile. In addition to it. See for yourselves. They are so beautiful! And in love!

Ps. I also took an engagement session with them. It can be found here.

Standup on Trädgår’n

Yesterday I did something so different as to shoot Stand up comedy on Trädgår’n here in Gothenburg. It was a big bunch of white men, to use their own words, who joked about everything and nothing. Very much below the belt but also lot of overhead. Six comedians and almost 2 hours of laugter behind the camera.

This year’s Badjävlar was Henrik Schyffert, Fredrik Lindström, Magnus Betnér, Peter Apelgren, Johan Rheborg and Björn Gustafsson. After running so it was also a small portrait session with the guys who unfortunately must be private.

Preshoot Gothenburg with a super nice couple

Malin & Peter is getting married in about a month. The day before yesterday, we met for a preshoot in Jonsered outside of Gothenburg.

Take a look at Malin & Peter to see what it was ..

As if I met a pretty girl on the street

Last Sunday me and Katarina was on our way home to a few friends for dinner. We walked through Linnestan in Gothenburg and all of a sudden there was the perfect afternoon light.

It’s moments like these that I am so incredibly grateful to be married to a woman who thinks it’s fun to be photographed. And the fact that Katarina is the hottest girl in town don’t do anything worse for me.

Another preshoot added to the portfolio

This time I have added Liza and Henrik’s preshoot, or Engagement Session, to the portfolio.
As you can see in the pictures we had a really fun time and I suspect that their wedding will be a great day.

Check out the full session here!

Today I’m delivering this to Jenny & Anders…

An simple autumn wedding in Trädgårdsföreningen

Today I’m delivering the wedding of Jenny & Anders which I shot in September last year. It was a family-shoot and later the portraits. They had a picnic in Trädgårdsföreningen in Gothenburg and I was there to capture it. I really enjoyed photographing the two of them. Such easygoing and nice persons with great style. I mean, just look at that bouquet and black stones in the rings…

They also said some really nice things about me. If I’m not wrong it was something like this:

”It’s been such a pleasant time and you made it all natural and simple”

My friend with the ties

I have a friend, Shahin, he likes ties. He actually love them. Or maybe he just loves to collect them. Anyway. On a wet and rainy saturday early autumn I met up with him and took some photographs of him, and his ties.

Some hundred ties.

Here’s some of the photos:

In Flames in Gothenburg, again

This saturday I shot the guys in In Flames playing. Again. It was their second time as a main-act in Scandinavium, the largest venue in Gothenburg.

It was a great concert and this time I concentrated more on having fun than the actual shooting. But I can’t help myself showing some of the photos. Hope you’ll enjoy!

Jenny ♥ Anders, the last small preview

This is the last preview of Jenny and Anders lovelly wedding.

Jenny ♥ Peter part 2

I’ve been on a vacation for almost 2 weeks. It’s been great and now I’m back and going to do all the weddings.

Here’s a second blogpost from the lovely couple Jenny and Peter. You’ll find the first one here.

Jenny ♥ Peter. An autumn wedding in Gothenburg

Peter contacted me through a mutual friend and wanted me to shoot their wedding. First, all contacts was between me and Peter and it wasn’t until the meeting I finally met Jenny. That’s kind of unusual, not having any contact with the bride. As you can see, it worked out pretty good anyhow. Or even better.

Well, Peter and Jenny been together for a long time. 9 years I think. They got 2 lovely boys and they got two socker-teams. Peter love IFK and Jenny love ÖIS. Two different teams. But as they said; this will be a draw game. 1-1 was the theme. And without further due, the lovelly, funny and great couple, Jenny & Peter.

Autumn break

It seems like I’ve shot my last wedding for 2011. It’s been a really great year with lots of lots of fun, laughs, emotions and great people.

I think all my couples been great and all of them has been really good looking. Somehow it seems fitting to end it with an autumn wedding between Jenny and Peter. A wonderful, funny and of cause great looking couple.
But right now, all you get is the flowers.

The waltz is all about practice..

It sure is quite a lot of new situations on a wedding, I mean it’s not every day you dance a waltz in front of the 50 closest of your friends and family.

Well practice make perfect!

Carolina & Patrik in Landvetter part 1

Carolina & Patrik in Landvetter by Oskar Allerby

You know those times you meet someone for the first time, and all though you already spoken and mailed with them, you almost get surprised how nice and funny they are.
This couple was like this. Carolina & Patrik is both from Sweden but they live in Norway and they met in Denmark I think. Anyway, they went home and got married in Carolinas old hometown Landvetter just outside of Gothenburg. There were guests from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Island.. And you could hear all the languages in some kind of great mix.

I first met only with Carolina to plan the photos. She was so funny and really pleasant and it wasn’t until the big day that I got to meet Patrik as well. I shouldn’t get surprised but somehow I did, he was just as good as his bride. This was a really funny wedding, we had lots of laughter as you can see on some of the photos.

Stay tuned, more will come soon.
