“I love telling stories through photos and that’s why I love documenting weddings - they have a story built into them. You have your main characters, location, wardrobe, and script all thought out. I get to enjoy watching how the story unfolds in front of me. All the emotions - laughter, tears of joy, sneaky kisses.”
— Matias Kolppo
How does the booking process work?
Before booking
Send me an email or call me and tell me a bit about your wedding plans, needs, and wishes. Let me know when and where the wedding takes place. I will send you an offer based on your needs.
Booking fee
I charge a 20% booking fee that is deducted from the final price you pay. If everything is okay with the offer, I will send you a contract, detailing everything we have discussed, alongside with payment information for the booking fee. Once it is paid, you have officially booked me, and I will not consider any other clients for this date.
The wedding day
Normally I try to show up at the wedding venue, or the place of ceremony 30-60 minutes beforehand. This allows me to see the place and prepare my cameras. Once I arrive, I will find you so that you know I’m present, and we can share any last minute information if necessary.
After the wedding
After the wedding, I start the editing process. It starts with going through all the photos from the wedding day several times, and gradually narrowing the selection down to the very best photos. Once I have finished the selection, I will edit the photos. When I’m done editing, I will upload the photos to your online wedding gallery and share you a link to it, alongside with the final invoice. Once you have made the payment and it has been confirmed, I will share you the download pin-code. Now you can donwload and share your wedding gallery with your family and loved ones !
“Thank you again for covering our wedding! Your pictures leave us and our guests with everlasting memories of this wonderful day. May all marrying couples get a chance to work with such a caring and professional photographer!”

Frequently asked questions
Do you do half days or only portraits ?
I take every wedding request into consideration, even if your budget is below the starting price. I do document half days, and occasionally am available for just a portrait session, so don’t hesitate to contact me and I will see what I can do.
How does the portrait session work ?
Ideally the session takes place after the ceremony and before the cocktail reception. The more time we have, the better. Even one hour goes by very fast when taking portraits, so it’s good to make room for it in the schedule, but we will plan this together to fit your wedding day.
Do you charge travel fees ?
I charge a travel fee for photoshoots outside Lyon. The travel fee is based on the ViaMichelin route planner at www.viamichelin.com.
How many photos do we receive ?
I don’t guarantee an X amount of photos, because every wedding day is unique. Some weddings produce a lot more photos than others. To me, what counts, is the quality of the photos. By quality I mean how well the photos capture the spirit of the day. I would rather give you one good photo, that tells you a story and takes you back to the moment, than give you ten meaningless photos that you swipe past on your phone.

About Matias Kolppo
I am a finnish portrait and wedding photographer based in Lyon, France. My partner is french, which is the reason I find myself in this beautiful country. I love the outdoors and the mountains, and photographing all of it. I’m really passionate about mountain biking, and I am a huge camera nerd.
I have always been curious about documenting life, capturing moments, and telling stories. I love how a wedding day combines all of these elements in a natural way. It is a story ready to be captured. Be it wedding photos, personal portraits, or commissioned work, my goal is to create timeless and beautiful images that you can return to even decades after.
