Just a few weeks back, I had the absolute joy of photographing a beautiful Maternity Session in Copenhagen with a mom-to-be who was radiant at 36 weeks pregnant. It was a Sunday morning filled with warmth, love, and chilly surprises.

Our Maternity Photoshoot kicked off at Copenhagen Zoo, where we were welcomed with open arms. After a quick call to the zoo to make sure we could snap some shots in their tropical enclosure, we were not only given the green light but also granted early access to beat the crowds. How sweet is that?

But this session, as we expected, had a foggy start – literally! The humidity in the tropical enclosure fogged up my lenses at first, but once we sorted that out, the magic really began. Amongst the lush greenery and the sounds of exotic birds, we captured some truly beautiful moments.

Braving the Cold Together at Amager Strand

After saying goodbye to our jungle paradise, we ventured out to Amager Strand Park. Now, let me tell you, the scenery was cozy as can be in the photos, but don’t let that fool you – it was freezing! The wind was whipping, and I swear I could barely feel my hands. Note to self: warmer clothes next time!

But you know what? Despite the cold, this couple’s love was like a warm blanket on a chilly day. They snuggled up close, faces lit up with excitement as they awaited their little one’s arrival. 

So, if you’re expecting and thinking about a Maternity Shoot in Copenhagen, don’t let a little cold weather stop you! Embrace the adventure, embrace the love, and let’s create some memories that’ll warm your heart for years to come. For those who prefer a cozy alternative away from the unpredictability of Danish weather, an at-home Maternity Photoshoot is always an option. 

Rain or shine, reach out today, and let’s create some memories together. 🙂

Choosing the Perfect Time

When planning a maternity photo shoot at Amager Beach, timing is crucial. I always recommend a time of day when the lighting is soft and flattering, such as the golden hours around sunrise or sunset. The warm, natural light will add a magical touch to your photographs. For this session, we started at 7:00 pm, two hours before sunset, and finished it at 8:00 pm, to avoid that orange skin tone we get when the sun is on the horizon. 

Selecting the Ideal Outfits

Your choice of outfits plays a significant role in creating stunning maternity photographs. Consider wearing dresses, fitted tops, or outfits that accentuate your baby bump and highlight your natural beauty. Soft, pastel colors like blush, or mint, can complement the beach scenery and create a harmonious visual effect.

The Photo Session

My goal is always to capture moments of connection between you and your partner. During your pregnancy photo session, I will guide you through various poses and compositions: gentle walks along the beach, or simply basking in the serene atmosphere, are great for capturing candid and composed shots. 

A maternity photo shoot at Amager Beach in Copenhagen provides a lovely setting to capture your pregnancy journey. Relax, embrace the warmth of natural light, and trust me to create beautiful images as you prepare to welcome your little one into the world.  

I photographed this fun and loving couple at Amager Strand Park in the beginning of June. Vlad contacted me to help him plan a secret proposal photo shoot a few weeks before he and his girlfriend Tara had a mini vacation in Copenhagen.
As they love the sea, he wanted the proposal to happen at a nice beach, barefoot on sand. Amager Strand was the perfect choice. It’s a beautiful sandy beach in the city. They were staying at a central hotel and could easily reach Amager beach by metro in a few minutes. 
A few days before the proposal, I sent Vlad a map explaining where they should go and where I’d be waiting for them to arrive. We also chose to do the photo session at 19:30pm, as the light would be softer and prettier, adding a sunset vibe to the photo shoot. On the day, Vlad spotted me at the beach and took his time to find a nice and empty place to propose while I was following from a distance, hoping Tara wouldn’t look back and see this overdressed weirdo with two cameras (I came to the beach straight from a wedding I was shooting that day). Fortunatelly she didn’t see me and then, it was showtime! 
We were both thrilled that it all worked out so well, Vlad more so as Tara said yes. 
I wish these lovebirds all the best and many more sunsets, laughs and years together. 

Every year, couples from all around the world come to Denmark to get married in Copenhagen. As a Copenhagen based wedding photographer, I get to photograph many civil weddings every year. So much so that I often hear my four year old daughter playing with her dolls saying “they are getting married at City Hall!”. Apparently, church weddings are not part of her imagination.

how can i get married outdoors in Copenhagen?

Usually, civil wedding ceremonies are 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.

Last summer, this beautiful couple, opted for a beach wedding in Copenhagen, at Amager Strand. This is the perfect choice for those who want to get married on the beach, but also want to have the hustle and bustle of the city close at hand.
After a week of rainy days, they were very lucky with the weather on their wedding day in Copenhagen. They had a beautiful civil wedding ceremony accompanied by their closest friends, all live streamed to their families at home. The bride looked stunning in her beautiful dress and her flawless hair and make up by Ger, a very talented makeup artist in Copenhagen. The wedding flowers by Fiol Blomster gave the final touch to the look.
Once the ceremony was over, we had about thirty minutes for group and wedding portraits before heading to the reception. One picture I absolutely love is the one with the bride and all her bridesmaids walking towards the camera. I love the pink colour palette, the flowers, the flowing dresses, and above all, I love how they look happy together. After this quick wedding photo shoot at Amager Strand, we headed to Radisson Collection Royal Hotel, where the wedding reception took place. With an incredible view to Copenhagen, they had cake and champagne followed by lunch. With friends and good food, the day couldn’t have ended better!
