Traveling through Copenhagen? Looking for a way to turn your sightseeing into lasting memories? This private photoshoot experience promises to do just that, offering a personalized session at some of the city’s most celebrated spots. Whether you’re traveling alone, with a partner, or with family and friends, this experience aims to give you professional-quality photos that you’ll cherish long after your trip.
What we love about this experience are two key points: first, the flexibility of a private session tailored to your preferred locations and group size, and second, the inclusion of a beautifully printed photograph as a tangible keepsake.

The Itinerary and What You Can Expect
Starting Point: Nyhavn 1
Your photo adventure begins at the vibrant Nyhavn canal, a must-see in Copenhagen. You’ll recognize your guide easily—she’ll be wearing a cap and carrying a Nikon camera. Here, you’ll stroll along the canal lined with colorful houses, capturing lively, postcard-worthy images. Expect approximately 20 minutes at this location, where unlimited photos will be taken.
Next Stop: Christiansborg Palace
From Nyhavn, you’ll walk over to the impressive Christiansborg Palace, seat of the Danish Parliament and a symbol of the city’s history and power. Here, you’ll spend around 15 minutes capturing regal shots with the palace façade or the surrounding historic architecture, offering a contrast to the lively canal scenes.
Final Stop: Magstræde
The last location is Magstræde, one of Copenhagen’s oldest streets. Its cobblestone pavement and well-preserved buildings give a cozy, timeless feel perfect for charming street photography. You’ll stay here for about 20 minutes, ending your session with a mix of candid and posed images in a quintessentially Copenhagen setting.
During the session, the photographer takes approximately 120-150 photos, with unlimited shots in the moment. Afterward, a selection of the best 60 images will be professionally edited and sent to you as high-quality digital files within 24 hours. An optional upgrade to receive all photos is available for an extra fee.
The Value of the Experience: Photos, Prints, and Personal Touches
The standout feature here is the combination of professional editing and the printed photograph—a tangible memory that’s easy to display back home. The print size of 15×20 inches makes a lovely wall decoration, a perfect gift, or a keepsake to commemorate your trip.
At $288 for a group of up to five people, this experience offers good value considering the quality of the photos, the personalized attention, and the iconic locations covered. Compared to hiring a photographer independently, this package is straightforward, with clear deliverables and flexibility.
However, keep in mind that the total cost does not include extra edits or additional photos, which come at extra charges. Also, since this service is based in Spanish, it’s ideal for Spanish-speaking travelers or those comfortable with that language.
