Frequently asked questions

Tell us where you will be, what you are planning, when, how many people and your rough budget. Nordiora matches the request with suitable local professionals, checks who is actually available, and sends you one proposal naming the professional, the package and the exact price. Nothing is booked until you accept. Send a request to start.

Start with the kind of shoot and the style you like, then look at work the photographer has done in similar light and settings. You do not have to compare everyone yourself: describe what you want in your request and we suggest someone suited to it, and you decide after seeing the proposal.

Yes. We arrange sessions across Sweden, including Gothenburg, Malmö, Gotland, Swedish Lapland and Åre. See all locations. If your place is not listed, name it in your request and we will tell you whether we can cover it.

Yes. You can plan everything from abroad in English, and pricing is stated in Swedish kronor in your proposal. Tell us your travel dates in the request, and mention if you are only in Sweden for a few days so the shoot can be planned around them.

It depends on the place, the date and who is free, because we check real availability before we write to you. We reply personally and do not publish a fixed response time. If your date is close, say so in your request.

Yes. Say which languages you need in your request and we look for someone who speaks one of them. English and Swedish are the most common; other languages depend on who is available in your area.

You send a free availability request with your date, place and type of session. We check which suitable independent professionals are free and reply personally with a proposal naming the photographer, videographer or drone pilot, the package and the price. The booking is confirmed only when you accept that proposal.

Yes. The request is free and commits you to nothing; it only asks us to check availability and prepare a proposal. You decide afterwards whether to accept it.

An independent professional photographer, videographer or drone pilot who works in the area of your session and has been reviewed before joining the platform. We do not employ them; we match your request with someone suitable, and the proposal names them before you book.

The date or a range of dates, the city or area, the type of session and how many people will be in the photos. Add anything that changes the plan: a surprise proposal, a preferred time such as sunset, a language, a specific place, or whether a company will pay. The more specific the request, the more precise the proposal.

As soon as your date is fixed. Summer weekends, midsummer, sunset slots and weddings are booked early, and each professional can take only a limited number of sessions per day. For Lapland in the northern-lights season, earlier is also better because travel and accommodation fill up.

You can always ask, and short-notice sessions are sometimes possible, especially on weekdays in the cities. We cannot promise it in advance; send your exact dates and we will tell you what is available.

Yes. Mention them by name in your request if you have seen their profile on our photographers page. If they are free, the proposal can name them; if not, we suggest others whose work suits your session.

Contact us as soon as you know, and we will ask the professional whether the new date works. Whether a change is free, and how late it can be made, depends on the terms in your proposal.

Every service has a published starting price in Swedish kronor, shown as a "from" price on our pricing page. Your final price depends on location, duration, date, coverage and photographer availability, and your proposal states it exactly before you decide.

Through our platform, a portrait session starts from 2,490 kr, a classic one-hour photoshoot from 2,990 kr, proposal photography from 4,490 kr and wedding photography from 14,900 kr. Sessions in Lapland and the mountains start from 4,990 kr. All starting prices are on our pricing page.

Each professional sets their own package and price at or above the platform's starting prices. The final figure depends on who you book, the place, the date, the time of day, the duration and any add-ons, and your proposal states it exactly before you commit.

Yes. All prices on the site are in Swedish kronor (SEK) with VAT (moms) included. For a private client, the price shown is what you pay.

Longer duration, weekend or high-season dates, sunrise or sunset slots, travel to several places or far from the professional's base, extra people such as a second photographer, and add-ons such as video or drone. Each appears as its own line in the proposal.

Sessions around Kiruna, Abisko and Åre involve long travel, and in winter the light window is short and night work is common. They start from 4,990 kr to reflect that extra time. Full-day wedding coverage and some larger packages are already above that level.

Payment terms, including the amount, the method and the due date, are stated in your proposal. They differ between professionals; depending on the professional, payment may be by invoice, card or Swish. Read the terms before accepting.

Some professionals ask for a deposit to hold the date, especially for weddings, and some ask for payment in full in advance. Whether a deposit applies is set out in your proposal. Sending a request costs nothing.

Cancellation terms are set per booking and stated in your proposal. They normally say until when you can cancel without charge and what applies after that. Check them before you accept, especially for weddings and Lapland trips.

Your own travel is your cost. The professional's travel, for example a ferry to Gotland or a boat in the archipelago, is either included in the package or listed separately in your proposal, so you see the full price before you accept.

Independent professional photographers, videographers and drone pilots who work in Sweden. Each sets their own packages and prices at or above the platform's starting prices. You can see their profiles, work and languages before you book.

Each one is reviewed before joining: we look at their portfolio, their experience with the type of session, the languages they speak, their knowledge of the places they work in and their reliability. Only professionals who meet these criteria are suggested in proposals.

It varies and is shown on each profile. Most work in Swedish and English, and some speak other languages too. If you need a particular language, say so in your request.

Yes. Each profile shows examples of their work, and your proposal names the professional, so you can look at their portfolio before deciding. If you want to see a specific kind of session, ask us.

Local knowledge is one of the review criteria, and we suggest professionals who work in the area of your session. They know where the light falls at your hour and where crowds gather.

A portrait or classic session is about an hour, a proposal session about an hour including portraits afterwards, and a wedding around eight hours. The exact duration is stated in your proposal.

It depends on the package. As a guide, a one-hour session typically includes around 30 to 40 edited photos and a full wedding day several hundred. The exact number is in your proposal.

The delivery time is agreed in your proposal and varies with the professional, the length of the session and the season. If you need a few images quickly, ask whether a small preview is possible.

Usually as a private online gallery or download link in high resolution. How long the gallery stays online depends on the professional, so download and back up your photos when you receive them.

Yes, the photos are selected and edited in the photographer's style. Unedited or RAW files are normally not included, and heavy retouching is not standard. If either matters to you, ask before accepting the proposal.

Copyright usually stays with the photographer, and you receive the right to use the photos for personal purposes, including sharing on your own social media. The exact scope is in the photographer's terms.

Only if agreed with you. If you prefer your photos to stay private, say so in your request; this matters especially for surprise proposals and families with children.

For a private session in streets, parks and along the water, a permit is not normally needed. Museums, palaces, churches, hotels and private venues set their own rules. The photographer knows the usual local practice.

Wedding films from 19,900 kr, corporate and brand video from 12,900 kr, and proposal photo and film from 7,990 kr. Drone video is covered under the drone questions below.

For a short proposal, sometimes; for a wedding or a corporate shoot, photo and film are normally two people, because they need different positions and equipment at the same moment. Your proposal states who does what.

It depends on the package: from a short highlights film to a longer edit with the full ceremony and speeches. The length and format are agreed in your proposal.

Usually yes, if planned. The videographer uses small microphones and, where possible, a feed from the venue's sound system. Tell them early about the ceremony and the speeches.

Films take longer to edit than photographs. The delivery time is stated in your proposal; ask about it specifically if you have a deadline.

Drone photography starts from 3,490 kr and drone video from 4,990 kr. Drone work can also be added to a wedding, an event or a property shoot, quoted as its own line.

Drone operators in Sweden normally have to be registered with Transportstyrelsen, and pilots need competence matching the type of flight. Pilots on the platform are reviewed before joining; you can ask to see their operator ID.

No. Airports, parts of central Stockholm, protected sites and many nature reserves restrict or forbid flights. The pilot checks the current rules for your exact location before the day. Our guide to drone rules in Sweden explains what to ask.

The pilot decides on safety grounds. How a cancelled flight is handled, such as a new date or a ground-based alternative, is stated in the terms of your proposal.

No. The pilot is responsible for registration and any permissions needed. Tell them the exact place, what the images are for and who will be in the frame.

Yes. Proposal photography is one of the main things we arrange, from 4,490 kr, in cities such as Stockholm and in Swedish Lapland. Tell us the place, the date and whether it is a surprise, and we plan around that.

Yes. You agree the place, the time and a signal with the photographer in advance, and they wait nearby looking like any other visitor. When you kneel, they photograph the moment and then continue with relaxed portraits of the two of you. Proposal photography starts from 4,490 kr.

Popular choices include Monteliusvägen and Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, the town wall in Visby, the archipelago in summer, and Abisko or Kiruna under the northern lights in winter. See proposal photography across Sweden for more.

Yes, in Swedish Lapland from roughly September to March, but the aurora is never certain. Plan several nights and a plan B. Our guide to a northern lights proposal covers season, moon, cold and lighting.

Wedding photography starts from 14,900 kr for around eight hours, and a wedding film from 19,900 kr. Our article on what a wedding photographer costs in Sweden explains what moves the price.

Around eight hours covers most Swedish weddings from the afternoon ceremony to the first dance after dinner. Getting-ready photos from the morning, or coverage late into the night, add hours.

Yes. Travel by ferry or boat, and any overnight stay, is listed in your proposal. A professional based nearby can reduce travel costs; say in your request if you are open to that.

Yes. Mention the number of guests and the venue, for example a civil ceremony at Stockholm City Hall, and the proposal will fit the coverage to a shorter day.

You and the photographer decide together whether to shoot as planned, move to a covered spot, change the time or reschedule. Light rain can still give good photos. How weather changes are handled is stated in your proposal.

Each has its strengths: long light and the archipelago in summer, colour and soft light in autumn, snow and short blue days in winter, blossom in spring. Crowds are thinner outside July.

North of the Arctic Circle, around Kiruna and Abisko, the sun does not set for several weeks from late May to mid-July. Further south, around Stockholm, midsummer nights stay light. Sessions late in the evening or at night become possible, with soft, low light.

Around the turn of the year, the sun stays below the horizon for a period north of the Arctic Circle. There are still a few hours of blue twilight around midday, which photographs well over snow, and the dark gives a chance of the northern lights.

In Swedish Lapland, roughly from September to March, on dark and clear nights. Activity and cloud cover can only be forecast a short time ahead, so no one can promise a sighting.

In December, Stockholm has only around six hours of daylight, with the sun setting in mid-afternoon. Winter sessions are planned around the midday and early-afternoon light.

Yes. Companies book business portraits, event photography, corporate video, real estate photography and drone work. Say in your request that a company is booking.

Invoicing companies is common. Give the company name, organisation number and invoice address in your request; the payment terms are set out in the proposal and depend on the professional.

Prices on the site include VAT (moms). On the proposal and invoice for a company, the VAT amount is shown separately so it can be handled in your accounts.

Commercial use needs a licence from the professional. Describe the intended use in your request, such as website, advertising or a property listing, and the licence terms are set out in the proposal.

Yes. Give the number of people, the location and how often, and we will suggest a professional and a format that suit it, for example a mobile studio at your office.

Apply through the page for photographers. We review your portfolio, experience, languages, local knowledge and reliability before you are suggested to clients.

Yes. Videographers and drone pilots apply the same way. Drone pilots should be registered with Transportstyrelsen and hold the competence for the flights they offer.

Yes. Each professional sets their own packages and prices at or above the platform's starting prices, and their name and price appear in the proposal the client receives.

No. We only suggest you for requests that fit your area, availability and type of work, and you decide whether to take them on.
