Last year I photographed this adorable American couple during their stay in Denmark. This was their first time in the Danish capital, so they chose the most iconic spot in the city as one of the backdrops to their engagement photo session in Copenhagen, Nyhavn. After taking a few shots with the beautiful colorful houses by Nyhavn’s canals, we headed to Christianshavn, one of Copenhagen’s most picturesque neighborhoods. What I love about these two spots is that they are both photogenic and very close in proximity, so we can easily fit these two locations into a one-hour engagement session.
Copenhagen is an old maritime city, so if you are visiting it soon, I strongly recommend a boat tour down its canals. It’s one of the most enjoyable ways to see the city and offers a completely different perspective.

Christianshavn

In Christianshavn, we explored the narrow cobbled streets, breathing in all the coziness this neighborhood has to offer. Being central and full of cafés and restaurants, Christianshavn is one of the most desirable Copenhagen areas to live in. This is a “must” for anyone visiting Copenhagen.
We finished our session at a charming little coffee shop, Café Les Amis, where they enjoyed a warm cup of coffee and some delicious pastries. They were lucky to find a place to sit outside as this cozy place is very popular among locals, offering a true “hygge” experience.
I had a great time photographing these two lovebirds and wish them all the best in their new lives as husband and wife!
