Vanha Kirkko Vihkiminen

Vanha Kirkko, or the Old Church, stands as one of Helsinki’s most cherished landmarks. Built in 1826, this neoclassical wooden church offers a serene and historic setting for weddings. Nestled in the heart of the city and surrounded by the lush Vanha Kirkkopuisto or Old Church Park, its simple and elegant design provides a charming backdrop. The church’s interior, awash with natural light, accentuates the classic wooden details, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This setting is especially popular among couples seeking a slice of Helsinki’s history for their special day.

If you’ve read the “About” section of my website, you might already know that I have a background in Urban Planning. Studying Architecture had a big influence over my photography work. It taught me how to see space, texture, interaction of light, and perspective. It also shaped my perception of urban space, and gave me courage to express myself.

I simply cannot hide my love for photographing city weddings, and I thrive when shooting portraits in urban spaces. If you’re planning an urban wedding in Helsinki, don’t be shy to get in touch. I’d be stoked to hear about your plans.
