Jenny Hammar Photography bio picture

photographer jenny hammar

Eight years ago I made the decision to make the career change and become a photographer, and this has been one of the best and most defining moments in my life.

Everyday I wake up to a job that I love!

I photograph people (big and small) and places (near and far) as well as weddings, which has been a focus of mine for the past six years or so.

I hope you will enjoy this collection of photos that ties together my wedding photography with my portraits, travel and other work.

I recently photographed a beautful wedding day, an english-swedish-greek wedding outside of London at the Four Seaons Hotel in Hampshire.

And here comes Phoebe, the Boston Terrier/ Ring Bearer!!! Actually, I can say without exagerating too much that little Phoebe was a close second in the hierarchy of importance on this day, right after the bride.nialblog_15

A beautiful group of friends and family, I love the “paparazzi” gang in the photo in the upper left-hand corner, practically elbowing eachother out of the way…

An impromptu group shot can actually be kind of charming.

The name signs on the tables were made of thick wire, and we found out during the dinner that Niklas and Alexandra hired a homeless man they had met once to make these for all 140 guests, and they were spectacular!

During the dinner, the weather cleared up and I stole Niklas and Alexandra away from their guests for a few minutes to photograph them in this beautiful sunset. We, I mean THEY, had such a lovely moment, and I thought it was s sweet how Alexandra teared up, so happy with her day, her groom, her husband.

Slideshow and presentation at Galleri Kontrast

Last night I was invited by PFK (Pressfotografernas Klubb / Press Photographers’ Club)to show some photos and speak about my work. I chose to focus on my wedding photos and presented a slideshow of some of my favorite images. Afterwards there was a Q&A, I had so much fun! Here is a photo of a couple familiar faces in the front row, Theresia Viska (photographer and chairwoman of PFK Stockholm), Helén Karlsson (fashion photographer) and Annika Nordström (stylist extraordinaire).

I am exhausted but on Cloud 9 after an amazing wedding in London this weekend. Needless to say there are a lot of images to go through but I wanted to post this one from our portrait session. Niklas and Alexandra were so kind and sweet, and they were so much in love! I think it shows in this shot, because you just can’t fake a smile like that. This was the inspiration. Thank you so much for being so true and hope you have a wonderful honeymoon. More photos to come!

Anna and Francis gathered friends and family from something like 12 countries when they got married in Stockholm (S:ta Clara’s Church and then dinner at Systrarna Helin on Djurgården). They have endured several years of having to travel great distances to be with eachother but are now living “happily ever after” in Switzerland TOGETHER and it was so much fun to hear their story and be there and photograph them. I am posting a few favorites but may have to upload a few more soon!

Eva and Per’s wedding day extravaganza started with a lovely intimate civil marriage ceremony at Skridskopaviljongen on Kastellholmen in Stockholm. Friends and family gathered to celebrate and toasted them with champagne afterwards. But then, there was an intermission, where the groom changed into his tuxedo, the bride got made up for evening and all the guests changed into evening apparel. I got the chancce to hang out with Eva and Per and photograph them in the unique environment of Wenner-Gren Center for quite a bit before they greeted their made-over guests. During our pre-wedding meetings, we had talked a lot about what they wanted in their photos and we were inspired by an old 70’s postcard of this Swedish skyscraper. We had a great time posing in the “James Bond” bar as we called it, the stairway, funky walls… the list goes on. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots from their day. Thank you for letting me be a part of this unique wedding!

One of my favorite times to photograph during a wedding is this… the moments right before walking down the aisle. Beautiful light and beautiful nerves.
