Working as a wedding photographer in Copenhagen allows me to get to know couples from all over the world. The reason so many foreigners travel to Denmark to tie the knot is because, in Denmark, there’s very little bureaucracy for those who want to get married, regardless of gender and nationality, and especially for EU citizens who want to marry people from non-EU countries. 
One of the couples I loved meeting last year are these two in the photos. Diana and Fabien come from Czechia and decided to get married in Copenhagen last summer. Their civil wedding ceremony took place at Amaliehaven (Amalie Garden), a small park in central Copenhagen, between the waterfront and Amalienborg Palace. A really lovely wedding venue in Copenhagen: a green oasis in the heart of the city.

wedding ceremony at Amaliehaven

If you are getting married in Copenhagen, civil wedding ceremonies are usually held at the beautiful Copenhagen City Hall. But the municipality of Copenhagen also offers alternative wedding locations to those who wish to get married outdoors. Amager Strand, Bibliotekshaven, Byoasen, Amaliehaven. These are only a few options that couples can choose from. In this link of the Municipality of Copenhagen you can find out more about open air weddings.

Wedding photo shoot in Copenhagen

After the quick wedding ceremony at Amaliehaven, the three of us walked to Amalienborg Palace, Nyhavn and some nearby places to do some wedding portraits. Copenhagen was full of Danish fans wearing their red jerseys because later that day Denmark would play Czech Republic in the UEFA-Euro quarter-finals. Our stop in Nyhavn was a little bit intimidating for Diana and Fabien, as as you can imagine, all bars and restaurants along the canal were packed with fans drinking since eleven in the morning. So as our lovely couple posed for the photographer, fifteen guys were shouting and singing in the background. Romantic, right? But despite the football chaos, our wedding photo session in Copenhagen was a success. Her stunning bouquet of roses and orchids from Holly Flower Studio added a special touch to the photos. The connection between these two was palpable and so beautiful to see and photograph. I’m so lucky to have had the opportunity to meet them and be chosen as their elopement photographer in Copenhagen.
Meeting amazing people from different places and cultures is what makes me love my job so much. Come get married in Denmark and let me document your special day!
