The Island of Bjørnsund in Norway is beyond breathtaking. Glistening water, magnificent rocky terrain, and calm, solemn clouds surrounded Marte and Pål-Sverre as they tied the knot. Choosing décor from old dock buildings around the island, the couple designed a nautical inspired Nordic wedding that perfectly fit their style. The two even took a canoe ride after the ceremony to captured some romantic pictures with amazing photographer Lieben Photo!

The Couple:

Marte and Pål-Sverre

The Wedding:

The Island of Bjørnsund, Møre og Romsdal, Norway

The Inspiration:

We wanted it to be a bit glamorous but yet bohemian with a navy feel to it being set on an island. We tried to use a lot of the old stuff and decor that we found in these old dock buildings. We didn’t want it to be too polished, but still a bit extraordinary.

The Moments:

My favorite moment was walking down the isle. The tiny church on the island was packed with guests. Some island people were standing alongside the tiny paths up to the church with flags as Marte walked up to the Church. Marte’s grandparents and great-grandparents also married in the same church, and the whole place had so many good memories attached to it. It was very emotional for both of us, way more than we expected actually.

The Couple Recommends:

Our photographer was just amazing. She made us feel relaxed and our photo session was so much fun. She also captured amazing moments of our guests and bridesmaids.
