Rangefinder Rising Stars 2020

Rangefinder Rising Stars 2020

We were awarded the prestigious Rangefinder Rising Stars of Wedding Photography 2020 award. This came at the exactly right time for us, when we needed a pick me up the most. Making us more determent than ever to keep at this, not giving up and keep documenting stories of love up here in the cold north.

The Rangefinder Rising Stars award is one of the most prestigious awards in our business and something we’ve only dared to dream about since we started our career as wedding photographers. Every year the New York based photography magazine Rangefinder picks 30 photographers from around the globe that “show promise in taking the aesthetics of wedding photography to new places. Visionaries today, they are the educators and mentors of the future.”
