Experiences
Popular experiences
A quiet question on a harbour bench, a city hall “yes”, a windswept afternoon on the dunes — every session is shaped by the place, the hour and the two of you.
Places
Where would you like to be photographed?
Harbours, castle gardens, beech woods and white chalk cliffs — chosen for how the light falls on them, not for how often they appear on Instagram.

How it works
From idea to photographs in three steps

Pick a place and an experience
Copenhagen, an island, a stretch of coast — and what the day is about: a proposal, a couple session, a family walk on the beach.
- 2
Share your plans
Your dates, who is coming and the mood you have in mind. Sending a request is free and commits you to nothing.
- 3
Meet your photographer
We find a photographer who is free and right for your plans, and send you one proposal with the name, the package and the price.
Why Havlys
One request, one clear answer
No need to message five photographers and compare their replies. You send us one request; we know the places, find out who is free on your date and right for your plans, and come back with a single, clear proposal.
Photographers we have reviewed
We look at every portfolio, at experience with your kind of session, at languages and at how well they know the place.
Open starting prices
Every experience shows a “from” price, and your proposal gives the exact figure before you agree to anything.
Planned for light and weather
Spot and time are picked for the sun’s direction, the wind, the crowds and the ferry or train times.
English or Danish
Write to us in English or Danish. We do the matching and stay your contact until the photos arrive.
Photography in Denmark
Slow light, open water, room to breathe
Danish light is long and low for much of the year, and the wind decides more than the forecast does. A good photographer knows which quay is sheltered, when the ferry crowd has gone and how late a June evening really stays bright — so your hour feels unhurried.

Good questions
How do I book a photoshoot in Denmark?
You send a free availability request with your date, place and type of shoot, and we check which suitable photographers are free. We reply personally with a proposal that names the photographer, the package and the price. The booking is confirmed only when you accept that proposal.
Is the availability request free and without obligation?
Yes. The request costs nothing and does not commit you to anything. It asks us to check availability and prepare a proposal, which you can accept or decline.
What should I include in my request?
The date or a range of dates, the town or area, the type of shoot and how many people will be in the photos. Add anything that changes the plan: a surprise proposal, a ceremony time, a preferred hour such as sunrise, or a language you need. The more specific the request, the more precise the proposal.
How much does a photoshoot in Denmark cost?
A 30-minute session starts from DKK 1,500, a one-hour couple session in a city from DKK 2,500, and any session on the islands or far coasts from DKK 4,000. Each photographer sets their own price at or above these figures, and your proposal states the exact amount. All tiers are on the pricing page.
Why are prices shown as "from"?
Because the final price depends on the photographer, the place, the date, the time of day, the duration and any add-ons. The starting price is the lowest at which the package is offered. Your proposal gives the exact figure before you commit.
How does a photographed surprise proposal work?
You agree the place, the time, a meeting point and a signal with the photographer in advance. The photographer arrives first, waits out of sight and photographs the moment from a distance. Most sessions continue with a short couple shoot afterwards. Proposal photography starts from DKK 3,500.
What happens if it rains?
Your photographer checks the forecast with you before the day and suggests sheltered spots or a different hour. If the session has to move to another date, the conditions for that are in your proposal. Light rain, with an umbrella, often photographs well.
