Kaamos Collective is a Finnish community of professional wedding photographers, united by a shared passion for creativity, quality, collaboration and timeless imagery. By working together, we strive to continually refine our craft and consistently deliver the finest service to our wedding couples.
The collective was founded in 2025 by four experienced photographers: Pyry Kantonen, Camilla Bloom, Susanna Nordvall, and Heidi Kouvo, each with their personal style that has been recognised worldwide. Through careful curation, the collective will grow slowly, ensuring that every member fulfils our clients’ high standards for great photography and service.
The Finnish language word 'kaamos' refers to the time of the polar night when the sun never rises – a quiet counterpart to the summer’s endless midnight sun. The name highlights our Nordic roots and reflects our ability to adapt to the ever-changing light conditions.
We’re genuinely committed to supporting you throughout the entire journey: from the early stages of planning to thoughtful guidance on the day itself, to helping you make the most of your photos afterwards with heirloom prints and albums. With a storytelling perspective, we help you envision how your day will unfold through its key moments, each becoming its own chapter in the story of your wedding.
After all, it’s your day. Your vision and dreams always come first. While each of us brings our own visual language, we honour your wishes and tailor our service to reflect what matters most to you. When you and your guests can fully enjoy the celebration, the photographs naturally become more authentic, filled with true emotions and memories you’ll cherish for years to come.
With over 10 years of experience in the wedding industry, each of us excels at reading the room, including space, light and moments, as well as the people with whom we work. We’ve developed sensitivity to work with our couples in a way that builds mutual trust and openness. This enables us to capture moments and emotions most authentically.
Our work goes far beyond simply documenting your wedding day. Drawing from years of experience, we share insights, offer recommendations, and guide you through the details so your day feels effortless, intentional, and perfectly you.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to authenticity, storytelling, and genuine connection. We believe a wedding is more than just a party – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that offers a unique opportunity to gather all your closest people together to celebrate love – something that deserves to be captured with care and artistry.
We create powerful visual memories that serve as a legacy for future generations. At the same time, we hope that our presence at the wedding as a photographer will elevate the experience and make you feel both supported and empowered.
Our mission is to provide our couples the best possible experience through photography that both elevates the day and captures its moments as lasting memories that live for generations to come.
While each of our members runs their own business and operates independently, we collaborate as a collective to grow, learn and support one another, reaching new heights, both creatively and professionally.
To ensure the wedding day comes together beautifully, we believe it’s important for the vendors to collaborate and be on the same page. We embrace and continuously aim to strengthen open and transparent communication with fellow vendors like planners, venues, designers and florists, etc. As cliché as it sounds, teamwork makes the dream work.
Kaamos Collective is closely connected to a wider community of supportive and skilled Finnish wedding photographers. As a collective, we also aim to uplift Finnish wedding photography across Europe and beyond.
Our couples are at the heart of everything we do. Every experience we create is thoughtfully tailored to reflect who you are and the vision you hold for your wedding day.
Kaamos Collective stands firmly for the right of all people to love and be loved regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or background. We are actively committed to promoting equal representation within the wedding industry, especially for LGBTQ+ and other marginalised communities.
We also strive to be mindful of our environmental impact and promote sustainable practices and choices when possible.
Whether you’re getting married in the forests of Finland, in an urban setting, or you’ve planned a destination wedding abroad, we’re here to create something truly meaningful for you. We could not feel more honoured to document the beginning of your new chapter.
