Ciao, I`m Anita Vartiainen; a Wedding & Elopement Photographer from Helsinki.




Hi, so nice to see you here! I`m Anita Vartiainen, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Helsinki.  I do photoshoots also in Florence, Italy and travel everywhere in Europe to capture destination weddings and unique love stories.


My style is a combination of documentary photography with a touch of editorial flare. Real, spontaneous and authentic, but captured in an aesthetic, artistic way. I`m  endlessly inspired by the narrow streets of Italian cities, old movies, music of the 60`s and 70`s  and the people I meet and the stories I hear. I dream of capturing people the way they are, the essence of them and the pure joy of being in that moment.


I would love to hear from you and work together to create lasting memories!

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 truly be yourself and to enjoy this special time in your life.


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