Getting Ready

The morning started slow and calm, with the bride getting ready alongside her bridesmaids. Lots of laughter, a few quiet moments, and that mix of excitement and nerves that always fills the room.

Her hair and makeup were done by Tina Alfheim, who created a soft, natural look that fit perfectly with the whole forest setting. Nothing overdone, just effortless and beautiful.

An Outdoor Ceremony at Kilden i Skoven

The ceremony took place at Kilden i Skoven, right in the middle of Dyrehaven. Completely surrounded by green, open air, and such a peaceful setting. 

One thing a lot of couples don’t know is that you can actually have a registrar from Copenhagen City Hall come out to your location. That’s what they did here, which meant they could have a fully legal ceremony in the forest instead of at city hall. It made the whole experience feel a lot more personal and relaxed. Of course, Copenhagen City Hall weddings have their own charm too. I’ve photographed so many beautiful civil ceremonies there and always recommend it for couples who are eloping or planning something small.

Drinks & Cake 

Right after the ceremony, everyone stayed outside to celebrate. Guests mingled, hugged the couple, grabbed drinks, and just enjoyed the moment. There was also some amazing food and cake, which everyone made the most of.

This part of the day always feels like a deep breath, and this outdoor wedding in Dyrehaven did it perfectly.

At one point, the couple had organized a carriage ride through Dyrehaven, which guests could hop on and enjoy. It was such a fun and thoughtful idea, and very fitting for a forest wedding in Copenhagen. Riding through the park, surrounded by nature, you can easily spot the deer that live there, which made the whole experience feel even more special (and very Danish). It added this extra layer to the day. Something relaxed, a bit different, and something guests will definitely remember.

Dinner & Party

Dinner was served in a tent outside, which worked so well with the whole vibe of the day. Long tables, simple and beautiful details, and the forest all around.

While dinner was happening, the indoor space at Kilden i Skoven was being transformed for the party, which created a really nice flow to the day.

Once the party started, it really started. The energy was high from the beginning. People were ready to celebrate, and the dance floor filled up fast. So many big moments, and just a lot of love for this couple.

If you’re planning your own Copenhagen wedding and love this kind of relaxed, nature-filled celebration, you can see more of my work on my website or get in touch. I’d love to hear what you’re planning.

A Copenhagen Wedding with a Canal Boat Tour

Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful and intimate wedding at Mogens Dahl Koncertsal, a venue that combines elegance, great food, and a warm atmosphere right in the heart of the city.

The celebrations started near the waterfront by The Black Diamond, where the couple met their guests for a canal boat tour through Copenhagen.

Why Canal Tours Are So Popular for Copenhagen Weddings

Canal tours are actually a very popular thing to do for weddings in Copenhagen, especially during the summer months. Many couples choose to bring their guests on a boat ride right after the ceremony instead of arranging traditional transportation.

It’s such a fun and relaxed way to move everyone from the ceremony to the reception location, while also giving guests a little tour of the city. As the boat glides through the canals, everyone gets to enjoy some of Copenhagen’s most beautiful views, from historic buildings to houseboats and lively harbor spots.

For guests visiting from abroad, it’s often one of the highlights of the day. Seeing the city from the water gives a completely different perspective and creates a lovely moment for everyone to relax together before the evening celebration.

Arrival at Mogens Dahl Koncertsal

After the canal tour, the boat dropped us off at Islands Brygge. From there, it was just a short walk to Mogens Dahl Koncertsal. Guests were welcomed with drinks and time to mingle before dinner.

An Intimate Wedding Celebration

This was an intimate wedding, with around 50 guests. Close friends and family gathered to celebrate the couple.

The evening continued with an amazing dinner, speeches, and lots of laughter. Smaller weddings like this always feel extra special. There’s something really lovely about a celebration where everyone knows each other and the couple gets to truly spend time with their guests.
