Meet Cherrie
I love to travel and have been doing it since I was 17. I love polka dots. I love dresses. I love shoes. I love the colours purple and pink. I have been having a love affair with the American South for as long as I can remember and one of my favourite books is To Kill a Mockingbird. I looove coffee, but can’t really drink it because it presses my fast forward button. If you want to see me talk at warp speed, give me a white chocolate mocha. I’ll not only love you for it, I’ll love you for it in fast forward! I normally stick to tea, though.I love watching sci-fi shows. Nerd pride. I waited 28 years to find the love of my life and now that we’ve found each other I couldn’t imagine life without him and I can’t remember what it was like before him. I love hugs. I love to read. Photography, travel and history are my favourites, but I’m really not as boring as I sound. I read crime to be more exciting. I spell favourites with a ‘u’ because I am Australian even though it might look a little weird to people who use American English. I like to create new verbs out of existing words. Like right now, I am biographing myself. I also like mixing words, like Purplicious and Pinktacular! I like to name things. Like our car, it’s the ‘Enterprise’, or ‘Space Car’ because it’s so advanced everything is a button… just like I imagine things in the future would be. You want a white choc mocha? Easy, press a button! My camera is named ‘Henri’ after Cartier-Bresson, because I think it’s better than just plain old ‘Canon 5d’. I love animals, especially dogs and coo over them like most people do with babies. I also coo over babies. I love photography and I love weddings and I am blessed to be able to call my passion my profession.

Pre-Wedding Shoot at Karlbergs Slott in Stockholm

I absolutely love Pre-Wedding Shoots. They’re such a great way for a Photographer and the subjects to get to know each other, especially leading up to a wedding. Having your Wedding Portraits done can be quite an intimidating thing, especially if you’re never been in front of the camera before. How do you stand? Do you smile or not smile? Should you be serious or silly? Where do we do have the session? It’s such great practice for the big day because by that time, you’ve already gone through something similar with your photographer on your pre-shoot, so you now know what to expect and have built a rapport with each other. PLUS! You get to have some professional photos of yourselves in “civilian clothing”!

Here is an amazing Pre-Wedding Shoot I had with awesomely fun couple, Pernilla and Peter earlier this year at Stockholm’s Karlbergs Slott. It was so great getting to know both of them during our time together and when they tied the knot in November, it was like shooting old friends.
