June 3rd, 2025: Discover The Intimate Romance Of Hälsingland, Sweden’s Artistic Heart.

Step into a world of Nordic elegance with wedding planner Karolina Wahlman and photographer Cole Roberts, co-founder of Way Up North and Fujifilm X-Photographer, as your guides. This exclusive workshop invites ten photographers to capture three distinct love stories: a romantic waterfront ceremony at dawn, a modern urban adventure through charming Söderhamn, and an intimate forest dinner beneath the Nordic sky. From candlelit vow readings on coastal cliffs to styled dining experiences in secret forest clearings, each setting is thoughtfully curated to elevate your portfolio with authentic, emotional storytelling that speaks to luxury clients.

Optional second day available for further exploration of Hälsingland’s hidden treasures.
