Excellent experience and beautiful pictures!

We had a great experience with Asili Photography in Sweden for our wedding shoot. Helen was super professional, responsive and flexible and showed passion for her work. She produced a wide range of beautiful pictures, all included in the price, and we had a lovely time taking them! Highly recommended!

Highly recommend!

Helen and her colleague, Rachel made my day so easy and effortless, they guided me through with professionalism, kindness and reassurance at every step.
My family and I instantly felt at ease with them both, even my 2 year daughter who can be very shy started to pose for photos after spending a few moments with Helen.
Look no further, you have found your photographer here!

Fantastic photos!

Me and my husband had a winter wedding in Stockholm 2020. Helen did a great job as our wedding photographer. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the photo shoot. We were thrilled with the results! Helen was able to capture the beauty of the venue and the light! She blended into the background and got some fantastic action shots of us and our guests. We rekommenderar her unreservedly.

Our wedding!

Helen was absolutely amazing as our photographer for our wedding. Not only was she incredibly professional but she was also incredibly flexible and able to join us on our boat for the reception even though this would be for much longer than her wedding package stated, she didn’t even charge any extra! Helen made us feel relaxed and captured those special moments for us without it feeling forced or posed. The quality of the pictures will be treasured forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
