Oitbackan kartano

 What a glorious day! I was asked to document the whole wonderful wedding day of I & A that was set in Oitbacka gård in Espoo, a big beautiful venue with so much green everywhere 
The morning started calmely, with the groom, bride, bridesmaids and bestmans preparing themselves and each others. Suring the bridal party the bride handed over handwritten and personal letters to each bridesmaid. After the couple's first look, we had plenty of time to take the couple's portraits on the incredibly green and wide land of Oitbacka. I & A ran and danced together, I barefoot on grass – a true joy to capture a fun and playful couple! 
Then guests arrived, got Gin Tonics at their arrival and soon the ceremony could begin. The ceremony was held in the venue's Orangerie. 
After the ceremony guests walked across gardens towards the dinner location, welcome toasts were given.
For dinner I & A had wanted to serve Mexican food! Wedding reception ended to a folk dance lesson by the groom's father, something that beautifully collected and connected all guests together as they formed one long row where everyone was holding hands. And the afterparty could began! 
The afterparty was held in the Orangerie and DJ sets played by DJ friends and the groom himself, a former DJ as well.
