Another successful surprise proposal was captured in Copenhagen, but this one had a twist. Michael reached out just five days before the big moment, leaving us with a tight schedule for the proposal planning. His vision was clear: he wanted the vibrant colors of Nyhavn without the crowd of tourists. Opting for a quieter and more intimate setting, I suggested Marmorbroen, or the Marble Bridge. Michael loved the idea, so we quickly nailed down the details: timing, positioning, and where I’d be waiting to capture the magic. With Michael’s cooperation, following my cues and advice, the proposal shoot went smoothly and stress-free. Michael’s feedback upon receiving the edited photo gallery speaks volumes:

The photos are beautiful! We had such a wonderful time reliving the moment through your work. You made the experience so perfect for the both of us!

Successful surprise proposals require teamwork. After I scout locations and determine the best time for the proposal (taking into account lighting conditions for optimal photos), it’s up to the client to execute the plan smoothly. If you’re curious about the considerations we make when planning a surprise proposal, feel free to check out this post where I break down the process step by step.

Surprise proposal photo sessions are one thing I’ve loved photographing these days in Copenhagen. The photos taken at the beginning of these photoshoots are paparazzi-style: the person being proposed to has no idea that the moment is being captured by a professional photographer. Usually, I’ll stand somewhere near the chosen location, pretending to be photographing something random. Once the couple is ready, I’m prepared to snap the moment.
If you are going to get engaged and want the moment documented, you must have an experienced photographer help you. A surprise proposal photo session requires a lot of planning so that everything runs smoothly on the day. An experienced photographer will be able to guide you in choosing the best location for the proposal, taking into account your wishes, the light conditions, the best time of the day, and so forth. Your photographer is a huge source of advice and can help you plan the perfect proposal photoshoot. At the end of the day, you want to enjoy the moment and make it stress-free. Contact me for more information on my engagement photo session packages. I’ll be happy to help you plan this adventure!

outdoor civil wedding in copenhagen

In Copenhagen, in addition to the weddings celebrated in the beautiful Copenhagen City Hall, the commune organises open-air civil wedding ceremonies in different places around the city, such as: Amager Strand, ByOasen, Amaliehaven, among others.

I met Carlos and Yumara at the library garden minutes before their wedding ceremony began. They were accompanied by their parents and friends, who came from Spain to celebrate this very special day. After the quick wedding ceremony at the Royal Library Garden, we walked together through the streets of Copenhagen for a wedding photo shoot. The day was beautiful and everyone was radiant.

While I was photographing the two of them, Yumara asked me to photograph her bouquet, as the flowers in it had a very special meaning for them. They explained to me that earlier that year, they got pregnant, but unfortunately had a miscarriage. They had named the little girl they were expecting Dhalia, the name of the flower in the bouquet. When they told me this story, I got so emotional and started crying, and so did they. So you can imagine my joy when I received an email from Yumara last month, asking me to photograph a newborn session in May, as she was at the end of her pregnancy, expecting another baby.

I can’t wait to meet this sweet couple again and their long-awaited baby. And I’ll definitely post the result of this session here. But for now, enjoy the photos of this very special wedding.
