Gold and Grit Photography

Stina is an absolute wizard at taking fun and candid photos. I did a lifestyle/couple shoot with her at home and I have no idea how she managed to produce so many creative photos that captured the little details and moments from my life, but she did! And she also managed to make me look pretty good too, which is quite the achievement considering how awkward I thought I would feel in front of the camera (in the end I didn't feel awkward at all though and I actually had fun!). 10/10 highly recommend.

Stina has truly blown us away with her talent. She is an amazing photographer, made our day fun, exciting and relaxed and the end results were incredible. Her photos are a work of art. Stina went out of her way to make our shoot amazing, she picked the perfect beach location even though it meant a 3 hour round trip for her. Before we even made it home from the shoot, Stina had sent though a sneak peek! Talk about efficient! The rest of the photos were ready in a matter of days. Thanks Stina for the incredible experience and beautiful photos. I cannot reccomend Gold + Grit enough!

I first reached out to Stina a few years ago when we were maybe possibly planning a wedding… and she was SO cool. She answered all my questions, gave me tips & hints and didn’t push me to make any decisions. Fast forward 18 months when we decided to elope - I knew exactly who I wanted to be our photographer! The patience on this woman is incredible. I asked Stina EVERY question that was related to getting married and not getting married… and she sent me links, suggestions, tips…. we ended up getting married at a venue she suggested. Our photos are next level amazing. Check out her website to see her incredible talent and book this Swedish gem!!

I had the opportunity to take part in a couples shoot from Gold & Grit a few months ago. This was an amazing experience from start to finish! She first had a chat with us to understand what we liked and get a feel of the perfect place & atmosphere for the shoot. The photo shoot itself was really fun. Stina is a lovely person who knows how to make you feel comfortable straight away and has a great skill in capturing genuine moments. The result was stunning! She is both extremely talented and very professional. I highly recommend her!

Stina photographed our wedding in May 2021. When we first started planning our wedding, we weren't sure whether to get a photographer, especially as it was quite a small, informal wedding with almost no family (as most were overseas due to COVID). I'm so glad that we did get a photographer, and that we chose Stina!Stina was extremely organised (which made planning the wedding and the day itself so much easier/less stressful!) and was so fun to be around - as soon as we met her she made us feel both more relaxed and more excited about the day we had planned! On the day itself, she made us feel completely comfortable and all our friends loved her! Also, most importantly, she took lots of beautiful photos of us, our friends and the bands that played that we could share with our family at home.If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel totally at ease, who will take photos that make you look amazing and who will join in the party and feel like just another one of your friends, Stina is the one for you!

My booked photographer cancelled last minute. I was recommended Gold and Grit and Stina was able to attend my event last minute. Her professionalism was outstanding, and I could not believe how amazing the photos turned out! Highly Recommend!!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Stina at a wedding earlier this year. She is kind, courteous and a true professional who instantly put not only the bride and groom at ease, but the entire wedding party. The photos she took of the wedding are nothing short of superb. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone I know.

I'm editing my review on gold and grit because there's so much more that I've left out.Stina is an amazing photographer. It's equally important to note that her work only reflects her passion and character. On the day of my wedding, Stina was a calming voice who made things so easy and natural. No awkward moments, forced smiles, strange body language. She had fantastic interaction with friends, family and guests. She definitely made the day so much fun.Stina is a creative professional. Her work shows passion, originality and emotion.Stina does not capture photos, she captures moments.

I can’t recommend Stina highly enough.. her photos are spectacular, she captures every little moment, she is a delight to be around and goes above and beyond. Always positive and so helpful. She did our first two weddings and if we have a third, she will be the first vendor I book!

Where to begin... Stina is a legend.We found her because my sister loved her work and ended up hiring Stina for her wedding in 2016. Not only did we fall in love with her work too - but also the positive energy and professionalism that is unparalleled.On our own wedding day 4 years later, we got to experience firsthand why she is absolutely worth every single cent and more. She is there to capture every candid moment with perfect timing, as well as sharing her wealth of knowledge to help you through all the details of the day. She makes sure that you feel amazing and at peace on what could otherwise be a stressful day - i'm confident that our day wouldn't have been the same without her to help guide us through!Couldn't recommend her more as a person - and an artist.
