"When I tried to speak your language I'm happy you laughed..."

Aaaaaaaah! Finally home!
One week of partying in sweden with bunch of funny people is bliss, but at the sametime very tiering cause you do not know the word sleep during that time.
I'm gonna be home for one more day and then it's time for me to head óut to D.C. for my friends wedding and then to Cali to do my intership. Here's few wedding pics I took few months back. hope you enjoy them and if I don't have the time to update tomorrow (well actually it's already today) then I'll have to say adios for a little while and I'll update from U.S.A asap!

Love,

"...and all of this life
moves around you
for all that you claim
your standing still,
you are moving too
you are moving too
you are moving too
i will move with you."

"All these people drinking lover's spit..."

heyheyheyyyy!!
Again long time no see!!
I've been busy ONCE again...and once more with weddings. My older sister got married about a week a go and let me tell you it was a G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S wedding (if I may say so myself :P hahah) and the happy couple was stunning! easy to get beautiful photos of.
Ah you could just taste the love in that wedding! the mood was just right!
I'm so happy that it went well. We've been stressing about it for months now (mysis ter bit more maybe than I, being the bride and all, but the stress and pressure were on me as well all the time) I'm so happy and at the sametime a bit sad that it's all over. I just love weddings. There's nothing better than to celebrate someones love...why do I feel like I've said this before? oh well...it's still as true as it was the first time I said it :P

So here's a little preview on that wedding. Still need to show these to my sister befre I can post more. She's on her honeymoon at the moment, so I really have to wait...
But I hope you enjoy these little memories before I can show you guys more.
Anyways, time for me to go to bed!
remember to always love people, always looooove! (yes I know, I sounds like a freaking hippie...)

Love,
PaperHeart

"You took my hand, added a plan, You gave me your heart..."

Summer is in the air!
Finally! it's been warm the last couple of 3-4 days and I'm loooovin it!
And what else, love is in the air! well it's sort of always there in the air, but we really see it, taste it and feel it when spring and summer are here and sort of just make it easier to see everything. Don't yah think?
Well it ain't hard for me to spot love at the moment. It's pretty easy when it's sort of rubbed on your face "all the time" with a couple of cute newly married/engaged couples in my family.
My sister always thinks that something's wrong or I'm after something, when I look at her and her fiancé being all cute and lovey dowey. It makes me smile or giggle on my own. She just doesn't get it that I actually happen to like to see her so happy :) We're really close and so it's natural that what ever makes her happy makes me happy and what makes her sad makes me sad. Clishé as it may sound, it's true. She deserves it, deserves to be happy and to have someone who loves her. We all deserve that in my own opinnion.

Why is it that when ever I write a bit more than normal in here, it has something to do with love? My endless love for love haha
Well I guess it's better than talking about hate (or like fustration last time :P)
Yup, this is defenetley the summer of love for my family I'd say...and as stressfull as it will be and it is, there's no better way to celebrate it than with a wedding! Ok I guess there's few even better ways, but no better way to celebrate it with a family :)

So the two pics there above are some engagement pics (not the best ones, but I still need the permission of the couple to post more) and the rest are my summer moments in our yard.
Mmmm can't you just feel the sun...I love it! Love everything about the sun. And I love it when it kisses your skin with a warm, gentle touch! and usually leaved a mark on everyone, except me! I'm so freakishly white all the time! Great!

Anyways, enjoy the pictures and the summer and I'll "see" you guys soon!
Love,
PaperHeart

p.s. You know my love for Sia, she's been with me for years (after falling for zero 7 when I Was like 15 years ols or so) and now, well she's made a song that just makes my heart feel full. Really gives me the goose bumps everytime...listen and relax...



My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you

You took my hand added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release
Aaaahhh oooh

I know you're pleased to go
I won't relieve this love

Now I am strong (Now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

"Seems like all I really was doing was waiting for you..."

Sooooo the wedding season has started, and what better way to start it than with my little sister's wedding photos!
Yup that gorgeous creature is my sister with her handsome new husband :)
I was a wreck at this wedding (along side with my big sister :D hahah) we had a LOT to do and so little time. We designed and drew and planned and decorated and andandandandandandnad...just did a lot!
Thank goodness for having time to take the photos though. I thought we'd never have time for them and time for my ideas. Well my original plans/ideas didn't work out to be honest, (except the ginger beer ones) but I'm still pleased with these.
After all the hastle and running around and dark coulds that threatened us, it was a beautiful wedding in the end...and we got the sun!
Soooo, here's just few of the photos, still have some to go though and I promised not to post everything, but got the green light from them to show some :)
Here you are...hope you enjoy them!

ok, so I have to explain the ginger beer photos a bit. This Mr here looo-o-oooves this drink and so I decided to dedicate few of the photos for ginger beer haha

It was so much fun walking around the city with a bride and a groome. People couldn't stop staring (except in this photo) and smiling...everyone smiled when they saw them! aaaw!

running back to the car!

"I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife."

So that's that...a little preview of a lovely couple!
Love,

"...From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love..."

"Let's not waste a minute more..."

we went to this garden thingy for some of the pictures

Heyaaaaaaaaah!
Here's few pictures from a wedding I did before Christmas.
Man the nature and the time of the year was not really co-operating with us. Me trying desperately to work against the darkness with my not so fancy camera...oh well, this is the turn out (at least few of them)

I made the poor couple stand at a tram station in the freeeeeezing cold weather

after the tram station I made them stand at a "beach"...poor guys

This is one of the first pictures I took of them...I wrote the quote on a board and volá...

Yeah...this was an interesting wedding case. My first one during the winter time, without SNOW! the snow came like after a week from this. Well you've got to work with what you get I suppose :D hahah

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

p.s. Loooo-o-ooove this song!

"I forgot to tell you I love you..."

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. ~Mother Teresa

Amen! Mother teresa clearly knew what she was talking about.

Love is the name of the game today.

I've been wondering about love lately and what it's all about (guess it's cause of all of the wedding photos) Love in the romantic sense that is. Not the way you love your mother or your friends, the way you love that someone special. Have I ever felt it? I don't know...I think so, yet I can't really say. Well I can honestly say that I haven't felt the "oh I'd go to the other end of the world, give you all the stars and die for you" kind of love. The kind where you give yourself to the other person 100%, don't hold back and just trust with your whole life on the other person.

I'm probably one of the most romantic people there are in the world and I might have maybe a bit too high expectations when it comes to love. No I'm not the crazy type who expects to be showered with gifts, serenades, love poems (although those are nice) and romantic meals all the time. I do have my feet on the ground. I know that the type of things that happen in movies are not real life, but sometimes I do wish something like that would happen to me. To be swept off my feet...I wanna feel that feeling. To be utterly and compelety in love. Who's to say that things can't happen in real life the way they are in movies? What is stopping us from doing things sometimes like in the movies? Just couse it's not real life, doesn't mean that we shouldn't try (atleast sometimes)...I know I'm gonna stay in my goofy romantic ways for the rest of my life. It's part of me, it is who I am...runs in my veins. And I'm probably gonna end up being the romantic one in the relationship..but hey it's ok cause I love giving as much as recieving. Making the other person happy. All though if I never got anything romantic back I'd probably "die", hahah yeha sounding like a romantic looney right now.

I do think about love quite often actually. Probably couse I feel the need for it all the time. Ponder it, and think of the different ways there are to love someone. It's the one thing that keeps this world running and not dying completely. Think about it. We'd probably all be dead without love. Couse with love comes kindness, caring for each other, protection and valuing peoples lifes. Without it I say we'd just end up killing each other.

Look at me trying to sound so smart, stating things that are already pretty much given facts in this life hahah

Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence. ~Eric Fromm

Amen to that as well!

Anyways here are some more wedding pics from this summer.

Hope you enjoy them!

Love,

PaperHeart

P.s. Remember to tell people you love how you really feel about them! Life's too short!

Time for a cheesy love song. I actually happen to love this song couse it helds so many memories. Enjoy if you can! ;D

"To hear your name or someone's laugh that is the same..."
