Urban Stories

Hi, I`m Anita Vartiainen; a Wedding, Elopement and lifestyle Photographer based in Helsinki.

Hi, so nice to see you here! I`m Anita Vartiainen, a lifestyle photographer based in Helsinki, traveling anywhere in Europe to capture magical stories. I photograph mainly couples, weddings, elopements and engagements, but I also work with families and aesthetic small brands.

As a photographer I believe in capturing real memories in an artistic and timeless way that allows you to be truly yourself. My photography is a combination of documentary and editorial styles. Lots of candid moments but with a hint of fashion aesthetics.

Besides Helsinki and Finland, I work in Italy, for example Florence and Rome. Feel free to also ask me for a personalized offer for a photoshoot anywhere in Europe.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Documentary and editorial wedding & lifestyle photography

I believe in observing and documenting people as they are, in making real memories that last a lifetime. I want to create a safe space for you to be truly you and to enjoy this special time in your life.

I want you to feel completely free and able to let your magic shine brightly.

Capture your love in photographs that will last a lifetime.

Let's find the magic in the small moments. Let's write your Urban Story together in photographs that really capture your soul.

— Anita
