Quick answers
- What does it cost?
- Couple Photoshoot starts from DKK 2,500. The final price depends on the place, duration, date, hour, travel (including ferries) and add-ons such as video, and is in your proposal before you book.
- How long does it take?
- A typical session lasts 1 hour, and you receive around 40 edited photos.
- What is included?
- A short planning exchange about place, time of day and the style you like
- A walking route of two or three nearby spots, chosen for light and crowds at your hour
- Natural direction: walking, talking and small prompts rather than stiff poses
- Professional editing of a curated selection (the starting package is about 60 minutes)
- Where does it happen?
- Popular spots include Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg, and Skagen. Your photographer suggests the best one for your date, the light, the wind and the crowds.
- Who is it for?
- Couples visiting Copenhagen or touring Denmark who want photos with both of them in the frame
- Anniversaries, birthdays and trips that mark a milestone
- Couples who live in Denmark and want good pictures of their own city
- People who feel awkward in front of a camera and want clear, gentle direction
- How does booking work?
- Send a free request with your place, date and plans. Havlys checks which photographers are free and replies with a proposal naming the photographer, the package and the exact price. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
On most trips one of you is always missing from the photos. A couple session hands the camera to someone whose job is to choose the angle, watch the light and tell you where to stand, so the two of you can simply spend an hour together in a place you like.
Denmark suits it better than you might expect. The light stays soft for a long time because the sun sets at a low angle; in June the evening glow in Copenhagen runs past 21:30, and on the north coast at Skagen it lasts even later. In winter the day is short, but the golden hour starts in mid-afternoon, which is convenient if you are travelling.
No occasion is needed. Anniversaries, a first trip abroad together or a new life in Copenhagen are all good reasons. If a ring is planned, read about proposal photography; if the wedding date is set, an engagement session is planned slightly differently.
We do not employ photographers. We match you with an independent professional reviewed for portfolio, experience with couples, languages and local knowledge, and you receive a proposal with their name, package and price before anything is booked. Pricing explains how starting prices work.
How it works
- 1
Send a free availability request
Tell us the date or date range, the town and roughly what you have in mind. It is free and places you under no obligation.
- 2
We find a suitable photographer
We check which reviewed photographers are free for that place and time and reply personally, with questions if something would change the plan, such as a ferry timetable or a festival weekend.
- 3
You receive a proposal
It names the photographer and sets out the duration, what is included, the price and the payment terms. The delivery time for your photographs is stated there too.
- 4
Confirm and meet on the day
The booking is confirmed when you accept. The photographer agrees the meeting point with you and may shift the time by an hour if the wind or rain forecast calls for it.
Where the session happens
Most couple sessions happen in Copenhagen: the sunny north side of Nyhavn early in the morning, the canals of Christianshavn, the grass ramparts of Kastellet, or the oak woods of Dyrehaven a short train ride north. In Jutland, Aarhus offers the Latin Quarter and the harbour front; see our page on couple photography in Aarhus. For dunes and wide skies, Skagen and Bornholm start from DKK 4,000 because they involve a long trip or a ferry. Our overview of couple photoshoots across Denmark compares the options, and couple photography in Copenhagen goes street by street.

Before your session
- Book the hour before sunset. In June that means a late evening start in Copenhagen; in December the light is gone by about 15:40, so plan an early afternoon session.
- Wind is the main weather factor on the coast. Long hair and loose dresses move a lot at Skagen or on Bornholm, which can look good if you are ready for it.
- Copenhagen is full of cobbles. Bring shoes you can walk in and change for close portraits if you like.
- Choose outfits in mid-tones that go together without matching. Avoid large logos and fine stripes.
- Bring a warm layer even in summer. Evenings by the water cool down quickly, and you can take it off for the photos.
- At Nyhavn the quay fills with café tables by late morning in summer. A session around 7:00 gives you the colours with far fewer people.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a couple photoshoot in Denmark cost?
A couple photoshoot through our platform starts from DKK 2,500 for about an hour in a city such as Copenhagen, Aarhus or Odense. On the islands and far coasts, including Skagen and Bornholm, the starting price is DKK 4,000. The final price depends on the photographer, date, time of day, duration and extras, and is stated in your proposal before you book.
How long should our couple session be?
For one area, 60 minutes is enough for two or three settings at a relaxed pace. For a coastal location or sunset followed by blue hour, 90 minutes works better. Two separate places on the same day are booked as a multi-location session from DKK 5,500.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain is common in Denmark and photographs well with an umbrella, wet cobbles and covered spots such as archways and courtyards. If the forecast is poor, the photographer will suggest another time or day. The exact rescheduling and cancellation terms are in your proposal.
We are not comfortable in front of a camera. Will it show?
Most couples say this beforehand. The photographer gives small, concrete prompts, such as walking towards each other or sharing a joke, so you react instead of posing. The first ten minutes are usually the stiffest and rarely the ones you keep.
Will the photographer speak English?
English is widely spoken in Denmark, and each photographer lists their languages on their profile. We take your language into account when matching. Mention any other languages you would like in your request.
What is the best season for a couple shoot in Denmark?
May to September gives long evenings and green parks, with the latest sunsets around midsummer. Autumn brings colour to Dyrehaven and the royal gardens, and winter offers short days, early golden light and Christmas lights in December. Our guide to the best time for a photoshoot goes season by season.
