In February 2023, I photographed Jen and Huichiang’s after-wedding session around Tromsø in Northern Norway. Wearing their wedding clothes, they appear against snowy ridges, coastal settlements and the fjord, with quieter photographs indoors as well.

Their photographs follow the winter light from daytime through dusk to portraits beneath the Northern Lights.
