Choosing the Perfect Proposal Spot

When planning a secret proposal, selecting the right location is essential. Together with my client, we decided on the Royal Library Garden, or Det Kongelige Biblioteks Have, because it checked all the boxes:

Privacy: Proposals are intimate moments, and the garden’s quiet corners made it feel like the couple had the whole place to themselves.

Light: Timing is everything. We scheduled the proposal for 18:30, during the golden hour, when the soft, warm light added a romantic glow to every photo.

Aesthetic: Between the lush greenery, the tranquil fountain, and the historic charm of the library’s brick facade, every angle looked like it belonged in a romance movie. When helping clients pick a proposal location, I always think about what’s meaningful to them, along with practical things like privacy, the best lighting, and how crowded it might be.

Why Timing Matters for Proposal Photography

We planned the timing carefully to make the most of that gorgeous golden light. Late afternoon or early evening is always a great choice for proposals because the light is softer, and there’s something so romantic about the glow it adds to the photos. Plus, the garden wasn’t too busy, which helped keep the moment feel special and relaxed.

Turning the Proposal into an Engagement Shoot

After the “yes!”—and maybe a few happy tears—we rolled right into an engagement photoshoot. The couple was absolutely glowing, and their joy shone through in every shot.  This is one of the reasons I love proposals—there’s no better time to capture those first moments of joy and excitement than right after they happen.

Thinking About Your Proposal?

If you’re planning a proposal in Copenhagen, here are a few tips to make it extra special:

Pick a location that feels right for you. Whether it’s somewhere quiet like the Royal Library Garden or a more bustling spot like Nyhavn, think about what fits your vibe as a couple.

Plan for the light. Golden hour is always worth the wait. It’s pure magic.

Coordinate with your photographer. From scouting the location to helping you pick the best angles, I’m here to make sure your moment goes off without a hitch.

Stuart got in touch a week before, trusting me to help plan a Secret Proposal Photoshoot at Frederiksborg Castle. So, my mission that week was to find the perfect spot for Stuart to pop the question. It had to be just right for this amazing couple.

We were glued to the weather app, knowing October in Denmark can be a bit tricky. Thankfully, luck was on our side. The weather cooperated, setting the stage for this proposal against the castle’s backdrop. Surprisingly, the castle was practically empty, giving us a private atmosphere. It felt like our own little fairytale. The autumn colors added an extra touch of magic to an already stunning scene.

After the proposal, we had about 45 minutes for an Engagement Session at Frederiksborg Castle. Together, we explored the area, including the gorgeous Baroque Gardens.

Hanging out with Jemma and Stuart was an absolute blast, and their love and happiness shine through in every image.

I’m super excited for more proposals like this in the coming year!
