PRO TIPS
from an experienced wedding photographer
real couples, honest moments, local tips
This blog is where I share what it’s really like to get married in Denmark — outside the Pinterest-perfect images and into the stories, questions, and little details that make each wedding unique. I’ve worked with couples from all over Europe, many of them eloping here for the first time, and I’ve learned a lot from watching their day unfold up close.
You’ll find vendor recommendations, restaurant guides, planning tips, and glimpses into real weddings I’ve photographed across the country — from Copenhagen City Hall ceremonies to countryside weddings.
If you're coming to Denmark to get married, this blog is packed with information you won't find in official guides — just the kind of real-world advice that comes from years and years of being in the room, camera in hand, quietly witnessing it all.
