Elvira and Prajwal’s Särkänlinna wedding was one of those celebrations that stays in your memory for a long time. Surrounded by the sea and the beautiful Helsinki archipelago, their wedding day was filled with warmth, tenderness and a wonderful sense of closeness between family and friends.

Särkänlinna is a truly special place for a wedding in Helsinki. If you are dreaming of a celebration surrounded by the sea, you can also explore my guide to beautiful seaside wedding venues in Helsinki and Uusimaa (in Finnish). Reaching the island by boat already makes the day feel like a small escape from the city, while the historic surroundings and open sea create a beautiful setting for natural and timeless wedding photographs.

What I remember most from this day, however, is not only the place, but the people — the genuine emotions, quiet moments and deep affection between Elvira and Prajwal. It was a privilege to photograph their story and preserve a little of that atmosphere in these images.
