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.

Sneak Peek: Sunset Pre-Wedding Photos

Tags: portraits,Pre-Wedding,SunsetNo comments

What an evening! I photographed this gorgeous couple last night for their sunset pre-wedding‬ photos at Vinterviken in Stockholm, right before the sun disappeared behind the mountain. I chose this image for their Sneak Peek because I love the way they hold each other tight. They’re completely into each other!! Sometimes the best pose is not a pose at all, but rather, how two people interact with each other naturally. They’ll be getting married in September in Eskilstuna and Tina has long been following my work so it’s an absolute honour that they have chosen me to document their day. I can’t wait to share a little more from this session, the sun sets at a really rapid rate at the moment but it still makes for some amazing light.

Tina och Mattias kommer att gifta sig i September i Eskilstuna men i går kväll gick vi till Vinterviken i Stockholm att fotografera deras sunset pre-wedding photos. Jag tycker om vägen deras kärlek till varandra lyser genom utan att jag poserar dem. Ibland är den bästa pose den som är inte en pose alls, men hur folk är naturligtvis med varandra.
