There are places that seem tailor-made for promises of love. Olden in Norway is one of them. A quiet fjord, light that shifts between the sky and the water, and a couple who have traveled all the way from the United Kingdom, ready to venture off the beaten path for a morning.
Their day began on a quiet dock, with the mountains as witnesses and the sound of the water as music. There, far from frilly dresses and air-conditioned banquet halls, they exchanged vows—simply, deeply, just for themselves.
And then we got on the cable car. All the way to the top. All the way to the horizon, which stretches across all of Norway. There, on that remote rocky outcrop, where the wind carried their words farther than any microphone ever could, they renewed their wedding vows. The rugged wilderness was their only backdrop. Authenticity was their only rule.
Olden is for those who prefer freedom over convention. This wedding was genuine, lively, and a little crazy—exactly as a beautiful story should be. The English couple, who had come from a cruise ship, hadn’t just come to Norway to get married. They had come to have an adventure. And that’s exactly the kind of story I love to tell through photographs.
Are you planning to get married in Norway? I highly recommend hiring a local wedding planner. For this wedding, the team at Brudepikene organized everything with remarkable grace.
