The Itinerary and Venue: An Iconic City Hall Setting
Your adventure begins at the Copenhagen City Hall, a place as much a symbol of the city as its famous mermaid statue. Located at Rådhuspladsen 1, the City Hall is a striking combination of historic grandeur and modern Danish design—perfect for a backdrop that blends tradition with the urban vibe.
Your photographer, who meets you at the entrance, will guide you into the ceremony room. This initial meet-and-greet sets the tone—friendly, professional, and relaxed. The session itself lasts about 90 minutes, during which photos are taken both during and after the wedding ceremony.
What makes this setting special is not just its architecture but its vibrant surroundings. The square outside, with its lively atmosphere and classic Danish details, offers excellent opportunities for candid shots. We loved the way your photographer will make use of both the interior and the exterior to craft a diverse collection of images.
What to Expect During the Session
The photographer’s role is to help you feel at ease. The review from a previous client highlights this, noting how Alexandru made the couple feel “so comfortable,” which is crucial when trying to look natural in photos.
Expect the photographer to start by capturing the couple arriving, then proceed with shots during the ceremony—these might include candid moments and posed portraits. After the ceremony, the session continues, leveraging Copenhagen’s picturesque streets or nearby landmarks if you wish to add extra locations for a small additional fee or time extension.
The turnaround time for your photos is notably fast. Within 2-4 days, you’ll receive all your RAW images along with a curated selection of 30 photos that are professionally edited. This quick delivery means you won’t have to wait long to see your memories beautifully preserved.
Customization and Extra Services
One of the strengths of this tour is its flexibility. You can add extra locations beyond the City Hall—perhaps the nearby Nyhavn canal or the colorful rooftops of Christianshavn. If you want more time to capture different moods or additional people—like family members or friends—you can arrange that in advance.
This customization makes it suitable for couples who desire more than just a quick photoshoot; it becomes a bespoke experience that reflects your personal style and wishes.
The Cost and Value
At $290.73 per group (up to two people), this service is priced for a premium experience. For many travelers, especially couples tying the knot or celebrating an engagement, this represents a worthwhile investment in high-quality, professionally curated photos.
While some might consider it a splurge, the value lies in the personalized attention, the professionalism of the photographer, and the stunning Copenhagen backdrop. Compared to the cost of wedding venues or other activities, this offers a relatively affordable way to capture your big day or special moment authentically.
Who Will Love This Experience?
This tour is perfect for couples seeking intimate, high-quality wedding or engagement photos in Copenhagen. It’s ideal if you want a private, customizable experience that captures the spirit of the city along with your personal story.
