You Don’t Just Need a Photographer - You Need the Right One for You

Just by getting married in Denmark you’re already saying a lot about yourself. You want something simple, beautiful, meaningful. Efficient.

But now comes the part couples often underestimate: choosing your wedding photographer.

It sounds straightforward, but it really isn’t. Both because there’s an ocean of photographers out there, and also because you're not just buying a service. You're trusting someone to be with you in very vulnerable moments, to tell your story in a way that feels honest to you, and whose personality resonates with yours.

How on Earth can you trust someone you don’t know?

So here’s how to actually find the photographer that clicks with you.

First of all, ask around

Even in the age of internet and social media, personal referrals are still the best way to find a wedding photographer.

Ask your family and friends: they probably share the same taste and have a similar budget to you; and if they were happy with their photographs, there’s a good chance you will be too.

They will tell you about their experience with that particular photographer, from the first meeting to the photo delivery.

Know What You Want to Remember

Start here. Not with style. Not with pricing. Ask yourself:

• When you look back at your wedding, what do you want to feel again?

• Do you want photos that show how everything looked or how it felt?

• Do you care more about posed portraits, or you prefer being gently guided in a way that helps the real you come out?

• Do you want to remember the way your partner smiled at you across the room? The nerves before stepping outside? The way your hands found each other without thinking?

There’s no wrong answer. But the kind of photographer you need depends on it.

The right wedding photographer will know how to read that. Some will focus on creating artsy portraits of you two, and some others will be watching for the moments that aren’t planned.

Look Beyond the Highlights

Every photographer can show you a few great images. The real question is: can they tell a full story?

Ask to see complete wedding galleries. Look at how they handle setbacks: ordinary rooms, bad weather, nervous couples. Do you still feel something?

If you’re getting married in Denmark, you might be in a City Hall. Or a city garden. Or your hotel room before the walk. What matters is how the photographer captures the vibe - not just the setting.

How Do You Feel When You Talk to Them?

You’ll spend more time with your photographer than almost anyone else on your wedding day. If you can’t relax around them, it shows.

You need someone who doesn’t add pressure. Someone who knows how to be calm in a room full of nerves. Someone who can give gentle guidance without making things stiff.

And no, you don’t have to meet in person to figure that out. A video call is enough. In fact, if they don’t offer one? That might already tell you something.

During the call, notice what they focus on. Are they running through THEIR workflow? Or are they asking about YOU? Do they seem curious about your story or just eager to talk about prices and payments?

And here’s one more thing to ask yourself when the call ends: would you actually want this person in the room with you on one of the most emotional mornings of your life?

Understand What’s Actually Included

You don’t want surprises. Definitely not on your wedding day. And not when the gallery link shows up in your inbox.

The best photographers give you clear questions before you even ask the questions.
– How many hours are included?
– Do you cover preparation time or just the ceremony?
– Do we get all the photos or just a few? And are they all edited?
– What’s the delivery timeline?
– What happens if they’re ill?
– When and how do you pay?

Trust Your Gut (Even If You're a Logical Thinker)

Engineers. Developers. Scientists. My clients are often deeply analytical. They like details, structure, clarity. And still every single one tells me the same thing after the wedding:

“I just knew you were the one”

It’s not always about price or style. It’s about how you feel when you imagine this person in the room with you.

If you’re wondering how to choose a wedding photographer for your ceremony in Denmark, start by asking the right questions. To yourself and to them. Then listen to your gut.

And if you’re looking for someone who knows how to step in quietly, see the little things, and tell the story the way it really felt, get in touch.

This only happens once. Make sure you have someone who’s watching closely.
