Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is one of the most ideal locations for a wedding photoshoot, thanks to its beautiful scenery, distinctive culture, and friendly people. Capturing one of the most special moments of your life in a Nordic city far from Japan is an unforgettable experience. In this article, I will share the charm of Helsinki through a wedding photoshoot taken in this beautiful city.
The Charm of Wedding Photography in Helsinki
The biggest attraction of a wedding photoshoot in Helsinki is the unique locations. The city beautifully combines traditional and modern architecture, with nature and urban life seamlessly blending together. Whether you’re strolling through the historic streets or enjoying the tranquil parks, every corner of Helsinki offers a picture-perfect backdrop for your wedding photos.
Additionally, the warmth of Finnish culture and the friendliness of its people enhance the overall experience. As you walk through Helsinki, it’s not unusual to hear local Finns or tourists wishing you a heartfelt “Congratulations!” These spontaneous gestures of kindness add to the beauty of the photoshoot, creating memories that will last forever—an experience you can only have abroad.
Late August in Helsinki—The Crisp Air at the End of Summer
The photoshoot took place at the end of August. During this time, the Finnish summer is drawing to a close, and the temperatures in Helsinki can feel a bit chilly. However, the refreshing air and peaceful ambiance of the city make it a truly charming season for a wedding photoshoot. The soft sunlight and frequent clear days create the perfect weather, while the reduction in tourists makes it one of the best seasons to enjoy an outdoor photoshoot to the fullest.
A Special Experience with Wedding Photography in Helsinki
Unique Spots for Sauna-Loving Couples
For this photoshoot, we were able to include a truly Finnish experience: a sauna-themed shoot. The couple loves saunas, so we decided to incorporate Finland’s sauna culture into their wedding photography. With permission from Finnska Souvenirs, we had the opportunity to shoot surrounded by adorable sauna-themed items. Saunas are a deeply rooted part of Finnish culture, and the traditional sauna products are charming and distinctive. The shop we visited was like a treasure chest of sauna-related items. This provided a perfect opportunity to capture the couple’s unique personality while sharing a distinctly Finnish experience.

A Special Sauna Experience at Kotiharjun Sauna
The highlight of this photoshoot was at Kotiharjun Sauna, the oldest sauna in Finland. While the sauna was closed for the day, the couple was eager to have their photos taken here. Initially, we planned to shoot the exterior, but thanks to the staff’s kindness, we were able to take some shots inside the sauna as well.
The sight of the couple in their wedding attire, exploring the sauna, was a rare and fun moment. The staff, though surprised, warmly supported the shoot, resulting in a truly unexpected and exciting experience. This special moment of blending Finnish traditions with wedding photography was an unforgettable part of the day.
