Wedding photos for your wedding in Denmark
Get married in Denmark
Getting married is a beautiful experience – and it’s something you’ll want to remember forever. Beyond the paperwork and ceremony, there’s one thing that will keep your memories alive for years to come – your wedding photos. And when it’s just the two of you eloping or having a small ceremony far from home, those photos often become even more meaningful.
When should you take your wedding photos in Denmark?
One of the first questions we often hear from couples is: should we take photos before or after the ceremony? Honestly, there’s no right or wrong answer—it really depends on how you picture your day.
Some couples love the quiet build-up before the ceremony. There’s something really special about capturing those last deep breaths, the laughter between the nerves, and the feeling of anticipation. Those pre-ceremony photos can feel incredibly honest and full of intimacy.
Others find that the best photos come after the ceremony. You’re officially married, the nerves have settled, and there’s this warm glow that shows in every smile. It’s a different kind of magic—relaxed, joyful, and a little giddy.
And if you’re not sure? Do both. Most ceremonies at Danish city halls are short and sweet, so there’s usually time for photos on both sides.
Choosing the right location
You don’t need a grand venue to get stunning wedding photos in Denmark. In fact, some of the most beautiful shots happen just outside the town hall. Copenhagen has charming streets, colorful facades, little bridges, and quiet corners that are perfect for portraits. And in smaller towns? You’ll often find peaceful parks, water views, or quaint streets just around the corner.
Think about what kind of vibe suits you both. Do you love cityscapes, or are you drawn to nature? Do you want something urban and modern, or more classic and romantic? If you have a photographer with you, they’ll usually have great ideas on where to go based on the light, the time of day, and your style.
Beautiful Wedding Locations
In Denmark, there’s no shortage of stunning wedding locations. At Just Married in Denmark, we can help you get married at multiple city halls across the country.
Many couples choose Copenhagen for its elegant city hall and historic charm, but there are also beautiful alternatives in Esbjerg, Ribe, Ærø, Tønder, and Frederiksberg. Each of these locations provides something unique. If you prefer a vibrant city atmosphere, Copenhagen or Frederiksberg are great choices. However, if you’re looking for a quieter and more relaxed setting, the other locations might be a better fit for you
In addition to offering scenic wedding venues, Denmark is also a great place for couples to celebrate their honeymoon or enjoy a few extra days in a romantic setting. Whether it’s exploring the charming streets of Ribe, relaxing on Ærø’s beaches, or experiencing the vibrant culture of Copenhagen, Denmark provides plenty of opportunities for newlyweds to create lasting memories.
Booking a wedding photographer
There’s a big difference between handing a phone to a stranger and having a photographer who knows how to tell your story. A good photographer doesn’t just take pictures—they notice the in-between moments, the real smiles, the way your hands find each other when you’re not even thinking about it.
At Just Married in Denmark, we include a one-hour professional shoot with some of our packages, like the The Complete Package or Copenhagen Express. Besides the photography, we’ll help you everything from submitting documents to helping you book a city hall.
Weddings photos are an easy way to make sure you go home with something more than just a memory. That one hour can capture everything from your ceremony to a quiet walk nearby.
If you’re planning everything on your own, it’s still absolutely possible to find a great local photographer. Many are used to working with international couples and can guide you through it, even if you’re only in Denmark for a day or two.
Keep the memories forever
Long after the wedding day is over, your photos will be what you return to. For many couples, especially those who elope or travel for their wedding, those images are how you share the experience with friends and family. They become a kind of time capsule—one you’ll treasure more than you can imagine.
So even if your celebration is simple and quiet, don’t skip the photos. Whether you book a photographer, ask a talented friend, or even take a few yourselves, make space for that part of the day. You’ll thank yourselves later.
And if you’re booking with us and want help figuring out how to include photography, just contact us and let us know. We’ll make sure you find the right fit.
