Zanna Metzer is the founder of Sisters in Law, Scandinavia’s largest wedding blog and magazine. Cole Roberts from Nordica is a wedding photographer based in Sweden and the co-founder of Nordica, Way Up North, and Kolla. Last April the two hosted Northern Soul in Lofoten for the first time and after a resounding success, they’re giving it another go next September.

These are great ways for taking amazing pictures. The acting natural and pretending you are not having a picture taken are the best-looking pictures in my opinion. Thanks for sharing
