Quick answers
- What does it cost?
- Vacation Photography starts from DKK 3,500. 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 h 30 min, and you receive around 60 edited photos.
- What is included?
- A planning exchange about your trip, the group and the places that matter to you
- A route of two or three settings in one area, chosen for light and crowds at your hour
- A mix of candid moments and group portraits
- Professional editing of a curated selection (the starting package is about 90 minutes)
- Where does it happen?
- Popular spots include Copenhagen, Skagen, Bornholm, Nyhavn, and Rømø. Your photographer suggests the best one for your date, the light, the wind and the crowds.
- Who is it for?
- Couples, families and friends on holiday in Denmark
- Several generations travelling together
- Travellers who want the trip recorded, not only a portrait
- Families staying in a summer house on the coast
- 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.
Holiday photos usually show the places and miss the people. A vacation session puts everyone in the frame in the places that defined the trip: the harbour you walked along every evening, the beach hut you rented, the café where you had breakfast.
The session is longer than a standard shoot, about 90 minutes, so the photographer can follow a short route with you rather than staging a few portraits in one spot. In Copenhagen that might be a walk from Nyhavn over the harbour bridges to Christianshavn; on Bornholm, an evening around a fishing harbour; in Skagen, the town and then the beach.
It suits any group. Couples who want something more relaxed than a couple session, families who want the trip rather than a portrait, groups of friends, or several generations travelling together. Honeymooners should look at honeymoon photography, and if you want to cover several places in one day, a photo tour is the better fit.
We match you with an independent photographer reviewed for portfolio, experience with groups, languages and local knowledge, and you receive a proposal with their name, package and price before anything is booked.

The session
You meet at the agreed spot and follow a short route. If the weather changes, the photographer may suggest another day in your stay.
Where the session happens
In Copenhagen, the harbour from Nyhavn to Christianshavn is the classic holiday route, and the city is flat enough for a session on rental bikes. Day trips to Helsingør and Kronborg or Roskilde are easy by train. On the coasts, Skagen has light-coloured sand and two seas meeting at Grenen, Bornholm has granite cliffs and fishing harbours, and Rømø has one of the widest beaches in the country. These start from DKK 4,000. Families visiting Legoland in Billund often book a session nearby on the same trip.
Before your session
- Book the session in the first days of your holiday, so there is time to move it if the weather turns.
- Plan around the group: young children in the morning, teenagers later in the day.
- Choose a route you would walk anyway. Photos feel more like the trip when they are.
- On a cruise stop, allow plenty of time to get back to the ship, and tell the photographer your all-aboard time.
- Bring layers. Danish summer evenings by the water can cool quickly, even after a warm day.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a vacation photoshoot in Denmark cost?
A vacation session through our platform starts from DKK 3,500 for about 90 minutes. On the islands and far coasts, including Skagen, Bornholm and Rømø, the starting price is DKK 4,000. The final price depends on the photographer, date, group size and extras and is stated in your proposal.
How many people can join?
Most sessions are for two to eight people. Larger groups are possible but may need more time. Tell us the number of people and the ages of any children in your request.
Can the photographer come to our summer house?
Yes, if it is within reach. Many families rent a summer house on the coast, and a session at the house and the nearby beach works well. Travel costs, if any, are quoted in your proposal.
Can we do the session on bikes in Copenhagen?
Yes. Copenhagen is flat and has wide cycle lanes, and some photographers are happy to cycle with you between spots. Mention it in your request, and keep to cycle lanes and traffic rules during the session.
What if it rains?
Light rain is common and can photograph well with umbrellas and wet streets. If the forecast is poor, the photographer will suggest another time or day. The exact rescheduling terms are set out in your proposal.
