Abhi & Florian
Cozy summer elopement at Stevns Klint
Store Heddinge / Stevns Klint
On a beautiful warm summer day, the closet friends and family of Abhi and Florian gathered at Store Heddinge City Hall to celebrate their big day. The ceremony took place at Store Heddinge Town Hall, an arrangement made through GMID. It is always the lovely Malene that conducts the ceromonies at the town hall, and after the vows were exchanged, we headed for Stevns Klint.
One of the advantages of being married in Store Heddinge is the many possibilities the nearby Stevns affords. The diverse nature of the area is perfect to fulfil the wishes of most couples with regards to documenting their wedding through my camera lense. The couple also got the opportunity to visit both Stevns Klint and Rødvig Strand/Badehotel.
Guys, congratulation with your wedding day!
“Kristjan is an amazing photographer. We were able to book him in the last minute, since it was a very spontaneous decision from our side, but luckily we found him. He was very supportive right from the very beginning till our wedding date. Kristjan suggested some very cool ideas during the photoshoot and our pictures came out really well. We are very happy with the final result and definitely recommend him in a heartbeat :)”
Alexandra & Anthony
Intense and intimate elopement in Tivoli, Copenhagen!
Gemyse / Tivoli
Alexandra & Anthony come from Beirut in Lebanon and had an intense and intimate courtship in Denmark. They decided to have their flash wedding in Copenhagen, because of the equality of both partners in a civil marriage. And what is a better place to celebrate your wedding day than The Greenhouse at Gemyse in Tivoli? A beautiful location.
The Greenhouse is intimate and small, so when Alexandra & Anthony contacted me about choosing Copenhagen for their special day, I knew this would be a great location for the type of wedding day they wished for, natural and atmospheric. I was all in. A brave choice - and an exciting challenge and a day that was enjoyed by all.
A perfect lowkey elopement.
Congratulation.
You guys rock!
Alina & Price
Intimate summer elopement in Copenhagen!
Ørstedsparken / Kings Garden / Nyboder
On a bright summer day, Alina and Price got married at Kongens Have in Copenhagen. It was a warm and beautiful day, the sun was shining and good humour filled the city. I met with Alina and Price at their hotel, Manon Les Suites Guldsmeden Hotel (Highly recommended!). From there, we found our way to Ørsted Parken and was then off to Kongens Have, for the ceremony was. After the ceremony we grabbed a beer and found a little ray of sunshine at Nyboder. What a cozy day!
Alina and Price were referred to me through Getting Married in Denmark, who help international couples to get married in Denmark. I’m thrilled that Alina and Price reached out to me, because it was such a joy to explore Copenhagen with them. We had such a lovely time! During our session, we talked about the everyday life in Germany, where Alina and Price live and in Denmark, where I’m located.
Thank you for a wonderful day!
Tschüss.
“Kristjan was the photographer for our Copenhagen wedding, and we had such a wonderful experience with him! It was our first time having a professional photographer take our pictures. He is kind, thoughtful, and very easy to talk to. During our time together, we felt comfortable and at ease around him, and part of his style was to photograph us as we are, so comfort was important. We were outside for the whole photoshoot, and Kristjan took us to locations that fit our personalities and give the photos extra character. My partner and I eloped, so he was such an integral part of documenting the before, during, and after of the ceremony on our special day.
The photos he took in our few hours together captured our joy and love through both lighthearted and intimate moments. When he surprised us with our full portfolio the day after our wedding, we were blown away by the quality of the photos and the care that he clearly put into them. Since the photos were outside, we appreciated that he was considerate with the natural light and nature around us, while also giving us some black and white options. Plus, it was our first time in Copenhagen, and Kristjan had so many great recommendations, from where to stay to where to shoot. Great human, great photographer, and we’re so happy that we worked with Kristjan!”
Jana & Muktar
Intimate elopement at Stevns and cozy dinner at The Norrmans
Store Heddinge, Stevns - Denmark
Jana comes from Germany and Muktar from Ethiopia, together with their closest family and friends, they were married at the town hall in Store Heddinge, Denmark. They had planned a cozy autumn ceremony in front of the loved ones to celebrate their love for each other.
Afterwards, a stormy day met at us at the beach close to Højerup old church at Stevns Klint. It was here that the couple carried out an old German tradition. Jana and Muktar had to cut out a heart from a large piece of fabric to symbolise their unbreakable love. Afterwards we headed for the Norrmans farmhouse bed and breakfast, a wonderful place on Stevns, where the attention to detail and atmophere are to behold. So if you are thinking of tying the knot in Stevns, give the Norrmans a look, you won't be dissapointed.
Thank you for a cozy day, Jana & Muktar.
“A big thank you and appreciation to Kristjan for creating such beautiful memories of our day! We can highly recommend Kristjan as a wedding photographer! Communication with him was always easy and very friendly. He perfectly managed to capture pure joy and happiness in every single picture. We felt very comfortable during the whole shoot and had a lot of fun (which you can definitely see in the pictures :)
Kristjan took pictures before, during and after the ceremony, at Stevns Klint and even accompanied us to our lunch location”
Kate & Malte
Natural and nice elopement at Stevns
Store Heddinge, Stevns - Denmark
Kate and Malte live together in York, in England. Kate is from Belarus and Malte from Germany and they both met at their place of work. However, because of bureaucratic challenges, they travelled to Denmark, to get married.
Kate and Malte were looking for an elopement photographer, who could document their marriage at Store Heddinge City Hall. They wanted a short session, cause “we are quite introverted and don’t like to put so much in front of camera”. This is not the first time that a couple have mentioned this – actually the majority of the couples who reach out to me prefer not to be in front of the camera. So I asked them to just relax and be themselves as I had a lot of experience with camera shy couples..
It was a lovely scandinavian summer day, when we met in front of the City Hall in Store Heddinge, Stevns. You may not of thought of Denmark as a location for your wedding but it is a beautiful country and the southern part of Sjælland is no exception. Kate and Malte had a lovely lowkey ceremony at the City Hall had requested some unstaged natural wedding photos, so we headed to Holtug Kridtbrud, just 10 minutes from the City Hall. Here we had a beautiful backdrop of the sea and chalk quarry. During the portrait session it turned out that Kate and Malte were actually great in front of the camera and soon they started to relax and enjoy the experience.
Cheers guys.
Looking forward to see you again.
“Kristjan , thank you so much for your work, good mood and beautiful pictures. We are very happy! The photos came out alive and soulful. Thank you for helping us preserve this wonderful moment❤️”
Zoe & Tom
International wedding at Sonnerupgaard Gods
Sonnerupgaard Gods, Vestsjælland
Zoe and Tom were on the lookout for a wedding photographer for their international barn wedding on the charming Sonnerupgaard Gods in west Zealand. They had organised a fun and beautiful DIY wedding where sustainability, recycling and upcycling were the central focus. Check out their Instagram.
The 1877 barn at Sonnerupgaard Gods is a great location when it comes to weddings. So I knew instantly that I was free, when Zoe and Tom asked if I was available to document their environmentally sustainable wedding. It was a beautiful wedding in fantastic weather with blue skies and a gentle breeze. The wedding couple had invited family and friends from near and far, including the USA, England and Horsens in Jylland.
The guests were invited to an outdoor ceremony held by Zoe’s brother. Zoe and Tom had gotten married the year before, so it was with relaxed shoulders and a smile on the lips that the couples’ love was celebrated. Afterwards there were refreshments and wedding cake in front of the beautiful historic barn. I love it when newlyweds think differently, for example, serving wedding cake at a non-traditional time, which gives opportunities to structure the day in a creative way.
One of the traditional English traditions the couple wanted to include was the throwing of the bridal bouquet and stocking into the unwed guests, so that they could be sure to be invited to a wedding sometime in the near future. There was a roar of jubilation and much laughter when the bridal bouquet was thrown and caught by one of the assembled guests.
The good atmosphere continued during lunch, helped no doubt by the lovely food, good company and lots of snaps!
The good humor continued after lunch and on to the dance floor with many a guest enjoying the chance to let their hair down and throw a few shapes.
Thanks guys, what a day! <3
“Kristjan did an amazing job with our wedding photography! Kristjan is very personable and was really good at making our guests feel comfortable and capturing some really lovely, candid moments. The photos we received were extremely good quality and beautifully edited. Kristjan kindly left us a small sample of printed out photographs on the night of our wedding which was such a nice touch and meant that we were able to relive some moments with our guests straight away.
Kristjan also delivered a sneak peek of photos and then the final batch really very quickly which we were really appreciative of. Overall, we were very pleased with Kristjan and have recommended him to friends of ours as an excellent photographer.
Thanks again Kristjan! ”
Marina & Carlos
Fun elopement in Copenhagen City Center!
Copenhagen
Marina and Carlos asked if I would like to document their wedding day in Copenhagen. Q day that should be fun and silly, a day that should be how they imagined. A day to be celebrated with their two best friends.
The atmosphere was electric as the happy couple married in Copenhagen Town Hall, before hitting the streets of beautiful Copenhagen. First stop was to the nearest shop to by some 'walking beer', beer you drink whilst walking! The Danes just love their beer. With a cold beer in hand we wandered the streets, the smiles, humour and goofyness of the new couple were enjoyed by all before ending up at Magstræde and Kunstforeningen GL STRAND, an art gallery in the coziest of surroundings. Later on the newlyweds climbed Sean Scully's tree sculpture outside Thorvaldsens Museum and took a walk on the water. Yeah, why not?
I have’nt laughed so hard for a long time!
Thank you for a wonderful experience, Marina & Carlos.
Katie & Emil
International wedding in Copenhagen
Copenhagen City Hall / Ryethøjgård
Katie & Emil was looking for a wedding photographer who could document their wedding day at Copenhagen City Hall, with portraits to follow in Copenhagen’s cozy streets and courtyards. The day would finish with a wedding party at beautiful Ryethøjgård, just outside of Copenhagen. When I am taking wedding photos of a bridal couple, it is important for me, that I have an idea of who they are as a couple. Katie and Emil told me about their first meeting as backpackers and how it is to have a long distance relationship, Katie lives in Texas, USA and Emil in Værløse, Denmark.
On their wedding day, I met with Katie and Emil at Copenhagen City Hall. They had invited the closest family and friends to the ceremony, so it was a crowded and excited wedding room. Once they said "I do", you could feel the redemption for Katie and Emil after all the effort and commitment they had put into their relationship. There was a very special joy and chemistry between Katie and Emil, so it was with tears of joy that their relatives celebrated the newlyweds’ first kiss.
Katie and Emil wanted to have their portraits taken in the old part of Copenhagen. They were looking for locations with strong colours and history. So we headed to Magstræde, just 5 minutes from Copenhagen City Hall. Here we took slightly different portraits, so there was some variation in the individual wedding photos. Then we walked to Kunstforeningen Gammel Strand, where there is a back yard with beautiful and strong orange vibes. Fantastic place!
The wedding party was held at Ryethøjgård, outside of Copenhagen, where family and friends were invited to a wedding party with an overnight stay. A cozy and simple room with a long table as the center. It gave a warm, intimate and relaxed atmosphere to the whole wedding night which was enjoyed by everyone. The speakers had Katie and Emil's mutual joy and chemistry as their focal point - and you understand that, look at them! It's love!
The party took off fast - and in typical Danish fashion there was dancing and laughter late into the night!
Thank you, Katie and Emil.
It was a pleasure to attend your wedding as your photographer!
“We are so happy we decided to hire Kristjan as our wedding photographer! He was very kind and professional from the first Skype call till the day we received our photos. His work is exceptional and authentic- he really captures your day. Kristjan was a fly on the wall and his sweet energy made him such a joy to have with us. We got our photos back quickly and were so excited and impressed- no awkward, fake poses… just us, our family, and our friends. We would recommend Kristjan to anyone who asked!
Love,”
Jen & Chris
Lowkey elopement at Frederiksberg
Frederiksberg, Denmark
Jennifer, fron Columbia and Christian from the USA are residents of Bogota where they own a brunch restaurant. Their aim is to provide a good quality menu with excellent coffee at an affordable price, one that is also accesible to the locals. They came to Denmark to get married because of the bureaucracy the respective countries.
We met outside the town hall in Frederiksberg, 30 minutes before the ceremony so that Jennifer and Christian could enjoy a glass of wine to calm the nerves. After the 'I dos' were exchanged, we headed for the calm of Frederiksberg Gardens, a perfect stage for pictures to record the day.
Lovely to meet you Jen and Chris. I look forward to seeing you again one day.
“Kristjan was in one word AMAZING! I did my best to research the best photographer for our wedding in Copenhagen and he was undoubtedly one of the best decisions my wife and I made while planning our wedding. Wedding photos can be a nerve-racking process but Kristjan made us feel comfortable from the start. He is highly personable with a sense of humor that puts us at ease - you just wanna be friends with the guy! (He even made us a things-to-in-Copenhagen list!) Very professional, and helpful and made our wedding day really special.
We have gotten endless compliments about the quality of our wedding photos and I cannot thank him enough for the fantastic work he did. I highly recommend Kristjan, he is truly first-class all the way! ”
