About — Elisa Niittyla Photography

My name is Elisa,

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based between my hometown Tampere, Finland, and the beaches of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica.

While already being fortunate enough to call two countries my home, I'm always eager to pack my cameras and travel to capture the magic of destination weddings all over the world.

I want to tell your story through unique photos. In Finland, Costa Rica, or somewhere else in the world.

What I do

FAQs

I am based between Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, and Tampere, Finland. Besides these countries I’m available to work worldwide - and I do it with great enthusiasm!
To get my pricing guide, please reach out to me by email or by using the contact form.

I offer three different wedding photography packages that vary in amount of coverage.
All the portrait (individuals, couples, families) packages include the designated time for the photoshoot, a final gallery of delicately edited photos and the time to plan the photoshoot in advance by email.
The location for the photoshoot is always chosen according to your preferences. It can be close to your home, a beautiful spot on the beach or somewhere in town.
We’ll always take time to plan the perfect location for your portraits.
I shoot all my photos in color, but edit some in black and white. Your final gallery will include images in color as well as in black and white.
In natural light photography we often have to work with the forces of nature. If it is pouring down on the day of your shoot, we will look for an alternative time or move the shoot indoors. With wedding photography we always establish a plan B before the big day.
I am so grateful to receive your wedding inquiries! Typically my clients book me for their wedding day one to two years in advance. Always feel free to inquire closer to the date as well - there might still be availability.
