BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE TO SHOWCASE YOUR LOVE STORY ♥
![Portrait photographer Espoo Helsinki](https://johannabest.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/0068-parikuvaus-espoo-helsinki.jpg)
You deserve so much more than someone who just presses a button on a camera – You deserve an experience showcasing the uniqueness of your love story & who you are as a couple
PHOTO SESSIONS CAN BE SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A QUICK VISIT TO A NEARBY PARK
ANYBODY CAN GO TO A NEARBY PARK AND GRAB A FEW PHOTOS OF YOU… BUT WHAT KIND OF AN ADVENTURE SHOWCASES WHO YOU ARE AS A COUPLE?
- What do you usually enjoy doing together?
- What kind of scenery speaks to you?
- What do you want to do?
- What makes you happiest?
Photo sessions shouldn’t be limited to a quick visit to a park because such a place often fails to capture the unique essence of your relationship. While parks definitely offer beautiful settings, they can also be generic and lack personal significance – and be super crowded too. A session in a location that holds meaning for you—whether it’s your favorite coffee shop, the nature setting you enjoy visiting, or even the cozy comfort of your home—adds depth and context to your photos. Personalized settings help tell your story in a way that is authentic, making the photo memories not just beautiful, but also deeply meaningful.
Choosing a new location for your session can make the experience even more special and fun. Exploring a new place together brings a sense of adventure and discovery, which can lead to some unique and memorable moments. It adds an exciting twist to your session, making it feel like a mini adventure where you both get to find hidden gems and beautiful spots. Plus, you’ll get to add a new location to your future “places to come back to” list.
MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER
A day that celebrates the current part of your story together as a couple should be documented authentically, preserving your once-in-a-lifetime moment in all its uniqueness. I strive to narrate your day through the photos we create together, focusing on every emotion and detail.
Think of me not just as your photographer but as someone adventuring alongside you, making being photographed a fun and relaxed experience.
I will be fully embracing all the moments with you,
using my sensitivity to craft heartfelt images that look like you. And we’ll probably laugh a lot!
Together we will create the best experience possible, the adventure of a lifetime.
I understand the significance of your trust—from the moment you choose me until I deliver your photos. What you see in my work is what defines me: my style, vision and 100% dedication. I believe in being transparent and consistent throughout our journey together.
But I’m not JUST a photographer…

Not just a photographer?
You can count on me to help you in every way possible during the planning process, to make your experience a good one and as stress-free as possible.
Planning assistance
Since your photo adventure doesn’t really have limits, I will help you find the perfect locations, help finding activities & props for the shoot. Together we will plan the best possible experience and I will help you with anything I can. Anybody can pick a nearby park and grab some photos, but does it really bring out who you are as a couple?
Timeline planning
“Time has no respect for anything done without time” is a quote I saw years ago and that’s why it’s important to create a schedule that doesn’t cause stress and allows you to have a relaxed adventure. I will help you with the timeline for your photo adventure, so that there’s plenty of time for moving around between any activities & locations and that the light is perfect guaranteeing you look the best!
Video calls & brainstorming
I will not limit the number of video calls to just one before you make your final decision. I will be available if and when you need help with any aspect of your photo shoot. When I say I am more than a friend to support you on your journey to create the best experience possible, I really mean it.
What clients have to say…
“We could not be happier with the work and effort that Johanna & Jouni put into photographing our very special day. Their research and commitment to helping us make our wedding day a lasting memory was profound. Not only were they good photographers, they also helped us plan every step of the way which is essential for a destination wedding. From helping to tie up the wedding dress or offering their room for day of preparations, they were more than happy to lend a helping hand. Thank you again for everything!”

FAQ
Definitely! I will always arrange a video call with you to make sure we are a good fit before proceeding with the booking! :) I do also have a few example galleries I will send a link to if you want to see more of my work!
The final amount depends on the collection you choose. I usually deliver anywhere between 25-100 photos per hour, depending on the activities of the day(s).
Most likely yes and the prices listed include a marketing discount; the places where I usually use them is my social media accounts, blog and portfolio. As a single entrepreneur I don’t have unlimited advertising budget available so being able to use the photos I take is crucial for my business. Sometimes a single photo can bring me my monthly income and decides what I’m able to eat. It really is about the small things sometimes! However, if you’re uncomfortable with the idea of having your photos online, I can certainly only use photos where your faces won’t be recognizable. If you don’t want ANY photos online we will sign a NDA contract where after delivery I will delete all the photos and won’t use photos anywhere. This will result in 30% increase in the price since the marketing discount cannot be applied.
While the booking fee is non-refundable to cover loss of income for my business, you will always be able to use the fee for smaller shoots in the future. If you need to postpone a new booking fee will be most likely be invoiced since it’s a game of luck trying to find a new booking for the same day.
Discounts aren’t available but we can always see what kind of tailored collection is possible with your budget or make a payment plan. I always prefer to work with people who value my work, so please don’t hesitate to ask!
