Simply there to observe it as it unfolds.

Working together usually begins with a short conversation about your plans — whether that’s a full wedding day, a City Hall ceremony, or something more informal.

From there, the photography is shaped around the natural rhythm of the day. Not to direct it, but to support it — so there’s space for things to unfold without feeling rushed or overly structured.

On the day itself, my approach is steady and unobtrusive. Present when needed, stepping back when it matters more.

The result is a collection of photographs that reflects how it felt to be there — not just how it looked.

For larger wedding celebrations, my photography packages start at €1,950 for six hours of coverage (in Copenhagen), which includes at least 300 digital and analog photos.

For weddings that unfold across a full day — where the atmosphere shifts, the energy builds, and the smaller moments begin to matter just as much as the larger ones.

Coverage is shaped around the natural rhythm of the day, allowing space for things to happen without feeling directed or compressed. From the quieter hours before the ceremony through to the evening as it settles into something more relaxed.

The approach remains steady and unobtrusive throughout — present when needed, and stepping back when it matters more.

A collection that reflects not just what happened, but how it felt to be there.

Starting at :  1,950 EURO | approx 14,500 dkk

Most couples go for at least the 2-hour package at 950 euro, which includes a few locations around the city and digital+analog photos.

A shorter 1-hour option is also available for 650 euro. It includes only digital photos and can be booked no earlier than one month in advance. Shorter ceremony coverage may be available on weekdays or within one month of the wedding date.

Most couples choose around two hours.

A more contained experience, but one that still allows the day to breathe.

City Hall weddings often move quickly — so the focus is on creating just enough space around the ceremony to let things settle naturally. A short walk, a quiet moment, a shift away from the formality.

For those choosing something simpler, without losing what makes it meaningful.

The result is a set of photographs that feels considered and complete, without needing to extend beyond what the day calls for.

Starting at : 950 euro |  approx. 7,000 dkk 

Not tied to an occasion — just a moment in time, documented as it is.

These sessions are intentionally open. Less about direction, more about creating space for something natural to emerge. A walk through the city, an afternoon together, or simply time set aside without distraction.

Guided lightly where needed, but never overworked.

The outcome is a set of images that feels quiet, personal, and true to how you are together.

Starting at : 650 euro

For those visiting the city — and wanting to experience it, not just see it.

These sessions move through Copenhagen in a natural way, following light, streets, and atmosphere rather than fixed locations. Less about posed photographs, more about being present within the city itself.

It’s as much about the experience of being there as it is about the images that come from it.

A record of your time here, shaped by movement, place, and feeling.

Starting at : 550 EURO

Set away from the city — where the pace shifts, and everything becomes a little quieter.

These sessions are built around the natural environment. Wind, space, distance, and light become part of the story, rather than a backdrop.

There’s no need to construct anything here. The setting does the work — the role is simply to observe it as it unfolds.

The result is something more minimal, more grounded, and more enduring.

Starting at : 700 EURO

Yes. Most weddings take place in New York City and Brooklyn, but I regularly travel for destination weddings as well.
