They were the youngest couple of the year. Both 21, and that’s all you need to know to understand the energy of the day.
Vilde knew exactly what she wanted. The details were planned. The group photos had an order. The flower bouquet pairing wasn’t chosen by chance. And Thomas — he went along with it, smiled, and seemed to think most of it was rather nice.
The portraits were taken at a red wooden bridge and along an old tree-lined alley nearby. There’s something about being 21 and summer light that makes photos almost take themselves.
The ceremony was at Drammen church — a space that needs little help from the photographer. High ceilings, red brick pillars, and an altarpiece that fills the wall. Vilde walked the aisle with family on both sides. Thomas stood waiting.
The reception afterwards was at Spiralen. It was the first alcohol-free wedding I’ve photographed. I didn’t notice. People laughed, gave speeches, and danced just as much as they usually do.
Vilde and Thomas probably have a long time ahead together. You couldn’t see anything else in the photos.
