Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

As early as you can for Saturdays from May to September, any date in July, and sessions on Bornholm, Ærø or at Skagen in summer. Outside those periods there is usually more choice closer to the date. If your plans are already fixed, there is no reason to wait.

You can ask. Whether a suitable photographer is free depends on the date, the place and the season. Say in your request that the date is close, and we will tell you plainly what is possible.

The payment terms are stated in your proposal, before you accept it. Nothing is charged when you send a request.

The rescheduling and cancellation terms are set out in your proposal, so you know them before you confirm. Weather-related changes are covered separately; see the weather questions below.

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.

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.

Skagen, Bornholm, Møns Klint, Ærø and Rømø usually involve a long journey or a ferry for the photographer, and sometimes an overnight stay. Sessions there start from DKK 4,000, typically for 90 minutes. A photographer based nearby keeps the travel cost down.

Longer sessions, more edited photos, a weekend or high-season date, very early or very late hours, travel beyond the photographer’s area, and add-ons such as video, a drone where permitted or a second photographer. Each one is itemised in your proposal.

Travel within the photographer’s own area is normally included. Longer journeys, ferry tickets for the photographer or an overnight stay may be added as a travel fee, and the proposal says so. Your own transport is yours to arrange and pay.

The price in your proposal is the price you pay for the package described in it. There is no charge for sending a request or receiving a proposal.

Our guide to what a photographer costs in Denmark explains every factor, with a table of starting prices by session type.

From 30 minutes for an express session to about eight hours for a wedding day. Most couple and family sessions in a city last 60 minutes; sessions on the islands and coasts usually 90. The duration is stated in your proposal.

You agree a meeting point in advance, usually a recognisable landmark near the first spot or your hotel. For a surprise proposal, the photographer is already in position and you only need to arrive.

No. Most people are not. The photographer gives simple directions, keeps you walking and talking, and takes many of the best photographs in the moments between poses.

Clothes you feel comfortable in, in colours that do not clash, with a warm layer that looks good on camera. Shoes you can walk on cobbles and sand in. Near the coast, think about how wind moves a dress, a scarf or long hair.

Yes, but say so in your request, because it changes the plan and sometimes the duration. For family sessions with small children, the photographer plans around naps and meals.

Yes. Tell us where you want to be photographed or what kind of setting you like, and the photographer suggests a route that works at your hour. The locations page shows the places we cover.

Let the photographer know as soon as you can. The session usually ends at the agreed time, because the light and the photographer’s next commitment do not move, so arriving late shortens it.

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.

More than temperature. The west coast of Jutland, Rømø and Skagen face the open North Sea and are often windy; cities give more shelter. Plan clothes and hair with the wind in mind and bring a warm layer for the coast.

In late June after 21:30 in Copenhagen and around 22:00 at Skagen; in December around 15:40. The time changes every day, so the photographer plans your session around the exact sunset for your date.

Usually the last 60–90 minutes before sunset, or the first hour after sunrise. In summer that means early morning or late evening; in winter the sun stays low all day, so late morning to early afternoon works well.

Yes, if you plan around short days. The low sun gives soft light all day and the old streets are lit for Christmas from November. Keep sessions a little shorter and plan a warm stop between spots.

Late May, June and early September are the most reliable, with long days and fewer crowds than July. Our guide to the best time for a photoshoot in Denmark goes season by season.

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.

It depends on how private you want it. Our guide to proposal spots in Copenhagen compares eight places by privacy, crowds and the best hour, with a rain plan for each.

Very rarely. The photographer stands where a camera looks ordinary, among sightseers or on a bench, and uses a longer lens. In busy places such as Nyhavn, nobody looks twice.

Keep the photographer informed by message. A flexible meeting point and a time window make small changes easy. If you are running late, the photographer waits as long as the agreed time allows.

Some photographers offer video as an add-on. Mention it in your request; the proposal will say whether it is available and what it costs.

Yes. Skagen, Helsingør and Kronborg, Frederiksborg Castle, Dyrehaven and the islands are all possible. Sessions on the islands and far coasts start from DKK 4,000. See proposals at Skagen for one example.

Yes. Couples who do not live in Denmark can marry in a civil ceremony once Familieretshuset (the Danish Agency of Family Law) has approved that they meet the conditions for marriage. Check familieretshuset.dk for the current requirements, documents and fees.

No. We arrange the photographer. The application goes to the Danish authorities and the ceremony is booked with the municipality; some couples use a wedding planner for both. Our guide to getting married in Denmark explains the steps in outline.

The civil ceremony itself is short, often around a quarter of an hour. City hall wedding coverage starts at two hours, so there is time for portraits before and after.

City hall wedding and elopement photography starts from DKK 3,500 for about two hours. On Ærø, Bornholm or at Skagen, it starts from DKK 4,000 because of the travel.

Often yes, but each municipality sets its own rules for photography inside. Ask when you book the ceremony; the photographer confirms it before the day.

Yes. Wedding photography for a whole day, from preparations to dinner, starts from DKK 16,000 for about eight hours. A second photographer can be added where needed.

Yes. Ærø is reached by ferry, so plan to arrive the day before and check the ferry back. Our page on elopements on Ærø shows the streets and shores that photograph best.

The number of edited photos depends on the package, from around 20 for a 30-minute session to several hundred for a wedding day. Your proposal states the number or range.

The delivery time is stated in your proposal and agreed before you book. It depends on the photographer and the size of the session.

Usually as a private online gallery from which you can download the full-resolution files. The format and how long the gallery stays online are stated in your proposal.

Yes. Every delivered photo is selected and edited for colour and light. Detailed retouching beyond that may be offered separately; ask if you need it.

Yes, personal use, including sharing online, is standard. Crediting the photographer is appreciated. Business or advertising use may need a separate licence; ask before you book.

Some photographers like to use a selection in their portfolio. If you would rather they did not, for example after a private proposal, say so and it is agreed in writing before the session.

Independent professional photographers who work in Denmark. They are not employees; each one is reviewed before joining for portfolio, experience with the type of session, languages, local knowledge and reliability.

Yes. Name the photographer you have in mind in your request, and we check their availability. If they are not free, we suggest someone with a similar style.

It varies, and each profile shows the languages the photographer works in. If you need a particular language, say so in your request.

We look at who is free on your date and who has experience with your type of session and place. The proposal names the photographer, so you can look at their work before you accept.

Yes. Each photographer has a profile with a portfolio, and the proposal names who would photograph you, so you can decide before you confirm.

We welcome applications from professional photographers who know their area. Use the join page to tell us about your work.
