—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Er du fotogen?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Hva er de viktigste komponentene i et bra bilde etter din mening?

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Er du glad i å reise?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—Hva bekymrer deg, og hvorfor?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Hva er det spesielle med den fotografisjanger du har spesialisert deg i?

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—Hva bør kriteriene være for en kunde som skal velge en fotograf?

—1) Do you like the photographer's work? 2) Do you like the photographer? Simple as that.

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—In 2008, I was already doing amateur photography for a couple of year. To do something different for a change, I asked my uncle if I could photograph his wedding. It was his second marriage, they were not asking for a photographer, so there was little risk. I ended up liking it so much, that I decided to do it more.

—Er du fotogen?

—No! I much rather be behind a camera.

—Hva er de viktigste komponentene i et bra bilde etter din mening?

—Above all, the photo has to have a certain impact. Wether that's an intense emotion, a good vibe, or just a spectaculair visual impact. After that comes the technical part. So a good lighting, composition, etcetera. But for me, the impact is the most important part, by far.

—Er du glad i å reise?

—Yes, but with moderation though. I'd love to do 3-5 destination weddings a year. I don't think I'd enjoy doing 10, 15 or even more.

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—It sounds like a horrible cliché, but it's true: Every wedding is different. You never really know what's going to happen. Surprises can happen at every moment. Besides that, I think it's a great honor to be asked to create lifelong memories for the people that are getting married. 5, 10, 25 or even 50 years after they get married, people still remember who took their wedding photos. It's pretty wonderful that you can be an important part in people's lives.

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—Basically: The postprocessing. I have a horrible concentration when it comes to editing. I love editing my 50-75 favorites from a wedding, but after that, it gets hard for me to keep focused.

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—I try to extract what people really mean with their comments. Some people have difficulties in finding the right words to give feedback, sometimes making them sound rude. But I always try to figure out what's the real message there.

—Hvilke ting er absolutt ikke tillatt under fotograferingen?

—'Allowed' is a big word. I'm not the one to say what's allowed or not. However, I don't like to unnecessarily intervene in a wedding. With the exception of the posed shots, I don't like having to tell people what to do, where to stand or how to look.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—I think the future of wedding photography will be a further evolution of the direction it's going in right now. More journalistic stuff, more moments. But besides that: technical advances. Faster camera's, better low light capabilities, and other accessories like drones, light field cameras, and stuff like that, giving photographers even more tools to being creative.

—Hva er det spesielle med den fotografisjanger du har spesialisert deg i?

—I love many aspects of it. I love the fact that people are in a good mood, they take the time to look good as well. People get married in beautiful venues, and you as a photographer gets to be a part of so many people's special day. That's amazing.
