Client stories

Told from under the lights

★★★★★

“The forecast said maybe. Mara said drive. Twenty minutes after we parked, the whole sky split open in green and violet — and she already had us posed and laughing. The photos still don't feel real.”
Jonas & KarinNight Portrait, Kvaløya

★★★★★

“We eloped at midnight in −14°C and never once felt rushed or cold — Mara planned every layer, every stop, every thermos. Our album opens with vows and ends with a corona directly overhead.”
Amelia & RossAurora Elopement, Lyngen

★★★★★

“Three nights aboard with our sailing guests, zero fuss, spectacular files. Her timelapses carried our entire winter campaign. Booking her again before the next season sells out.”
Hedda StrømHavbris Sailing Co., commission
