About Nadia
The photographer who cares just as much about you as the pictures
For me, life is about connections. It’s about meeting people from different paths of life and sharing moments together. Authentic conversations, curiosity, and perspectives that give us new energy and love!
No bullshit, just… empathy.
I’ve been a photographer since 2020 and empathy has been leading me throughout every wedding, elopement, and conversation I’ve had during this time. Hearing about your journey and your passion is what makes it so incredibly powerful to then stand there and photograph your union.
It is remarkable. Just like you!
The authentic connection
Being part of your adventures is my main obsession! To be there as a guiding hand and provide information and insights; to work as the pinterest board for the wedding of your dreams. To listen in on your excitement and recognise what you want to experience, even if you two love birds don’t even know the details yourself!
That is my aim, and I am excited to get to know you.
Hi I'm Nadia, your love obsessed photographer
Intimate Wedding & Elopement Photographer in Scandinavia
Having Nadia as our photographer felt like having a close friend by our side. She’s professional, reliable, funny, playful, and above all, she radiates so much love!! Everything felt so easy with her, and she made sure that both my partner and I were comfortable throughout the entire experience. It truly was more than just a photo shoot. It was a beautiful experience with Nadia."

... as if we had a close friend by our side.
"I can’t even begin to describe how perfect Nadia was for our adventure in Norway. She took us to the most breathtaking locations, laughed and cried with us, and brought such warmth and humor the entire time. From our very first online meeting, we knew she was the right choice. On our Elopement day, she exceeded every expectation. We felt comfortable with her every single moment, as if we had a close friend by our side. And then the photos: absolutely stunning! I recommend Nadia with all my heart. Thank you for everything, Nadia, we hope to see you again very soon!"

What couples who eloped say about By Maizoni
Creating wedding days where you see yourself is every decision is just the best. I am all about finding the perfect activities, experiences, and ideas that will make you go “wow, I can’t believe all our dreams came true”.
To create a day that is all about closeness and LOVE.
With me, you get a guide with years of wedding and event experience and who can help you design your dream wedding day.
Designing your day
Planning a wedding means you’ve got endless opportunities. Which can be overwhelming. YES TO ALL is a common reaction when exploring the alternatives. So I can help you narrow it down, and to create the most gorgeous compilation of all your favourite things!
Planning consultant
“I hate having my picture taken”. I’m sure you can guess how many times I’ve heard this! And it pains me every time. Because I know how much the pictures will mean to you in the future. And they’ll be full of real memories, not a posed and stiff version of you where everything feels uncomfortable. Instead, you’ll feel safe, seen, and just filled with pure joy.
You don’t have to be picture perfect
You stand together, wind in your hair and heart full of love. No stress, just you, together, as you are. It is a moment to land and embrace this time you are in now. To have it captured and saved; like a treasure chest filled with your loveliest memories. And this is it; why I do what I do.
It’s not really about taking the perfect pictures, but to document your love, your life, your emotions, and make sure you have your memories saved.
This is it
In 2020, we found out that both my parents had cancer. In 2021, my best friend and dad passed away. It was life changing years, in more ways than one. I saw how precious our time is, how little we know about the future, and how important it is to spend life with people we love.
And photography became a way to save what means the most.
I realised that documenting the things that’s important to us is a way to help others, too. A way to help people remember their favourite moments and being in the now, knowing that it’ll be there for them in the future to look back on.
So if you want to ensure that you capture the time with the people you love the most, beyond the last dance and cheerful toasting, I’d love to help you document it all.
Capture what means the most
My core values
Human & animal rights
Compassion for all lives that share this planet.
Connection
I create deep and meaningful connections with everyone I meet and value conversations that go beyond the superficial. I want to hear about your deepest thoughts AND what you had for breakfast!
Integrity
To support those without a voice is part of who I am. And to stand up for what is right, in any situation.
Empathy
I am leading with empathy. Seeing everyone, and hearing everyone, has always been very important to me.
Equality
Equality is extremely important to me. For everyone to have the same opportunities and to be loved in the same way. No matter your religion or race, sexual orientation or disabilities, I welcome you.
In 2023 Aida (@aidakn) and I travelled to visit matriarchies around the world; places where the system is created by women for kinder and more democratic environments. We visited Kenya, Palestine, Morocco, and Kosovo and got to learn and be inspired by so many amazing women.
Worldly women
A photo project with the mission to make wonderful mothers feel less lonely whilst sharing their feelings, thoughts, and insecurities. We want to normalise motherhood and the changes women go through.
The Gaia Project
One of the most rewarding things I know is watching women follow their dreams and realising they are completely capable of reaching their goals. I educate and help creative women through mentorship, workshops, and training regularly and love sharing my knowledge and expertise.
Mentorship & Workshops
Your love, your pace, your way.
Your love, your pace, your way.
When I am not working I spend time with my husband and our cat Biff Åke (Biff meaning Beef in English. So, Beef Åke!). I love to read, fantasy preferably, and I watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy at least once a year, the extended version of course! I love musicals, long dinners with friends, finding new vegan recipes to try, and thaiboxing.
I love travelling to new places no one’s heard about, enjoying new scenery from a campervan, spending time in nature, and finding new trails far away from everyone else.
What life looks like outside photography
Nature
One of my favourite things is being in nature. To explore new landscapes, enjoy different environments, and let them carry me away. Wind in hair, sunshine through clouds finally warming one's cheeks, or that first summer dip in untouched lakes. All fantastic to photograph and experience.
I am honoured and proud to have been recognised in both Swedish and International publications. It’s never the goal, I just want to create connections with amazing people that I get to shoot, but I am nonetheless incredibly thankful for the kind words said about me.
"Nadia's work at By Maizoni reads like a carefully curated photobook you never want to close. Her tonal consistency is something that immediately stands out, flowing seamlessly from one frame to the next. Nothing feels overworked or over-styled. That kind of consistency is not accidental; it comes from someone who understands both craft and narrative, and who has taken the time to refine her eye."
