Copenhagen wedding photography
that captures your essence

I'm John Choque, a Copenhagen-based documentary photographer specialising in elopements, proposals, and intimate weddings. Most of my couples are international. Denmark is one of the easiest countries in the world for foreigners to get legally married, and Copenhagen City Hall is where many of them choose to do it. Packages start from 3,000 DKK and cover locations across the city: City Hall, Nyhavn, the Royal Library Garden, Frederiksberg, and wherever means something to you.

I'd love to be there with a camera when you say yes.

01

Elope­ments

City Hall or anywhere in the city. Just the two of you, done properly. I know Copenhagen's best spots and how the day flows — from the spiral staircase at Rådhus to a walk through Nyhavn or the Royal Library Garden after.

Pro­posals

I arrive early, find a spot you won't notice me, and wait. The moment stays completely natural and you go home with photos of the exact second it happened. No staging.

From 3,000 DKK Plan it

Intimate weddings

Small guest list, big feeling. Whether it's a handful of people at a Copenhagen venue or a full day from getting ready to last dance, I document it as it happens. Half day or full day, you choose what fits.

How I
work

We talk first

A quick call before the day. I want to know how you are with cameras, what makes you uncomfortable, what you actually want from the photos. I will adapt to what you want.

I read the moment

Sometimes you need a bit of direction to feel comfortable and get a good photo. Sometimes you're mid-laugh or mid-sentence and I just need to be there for it. I know which is which and I switch between them all day.

Gallery within a month

Usually faster. You'll get a few favourites within a day or two because waiting is annoying. Raw files available if you want them. Need it faster, we can talk about that too.

Copenhagen and beyond

Most of my work is in Copenhagen but not all of it. Anywhere in Denmark is fine. Europe too if you ask.

Common
questions

Anything else on your mind, just send a message. I write back the same day.

Do you photograph proposals in Copenhagen?
Yes! Proposals are one of my favourite things to shoot. I arrive early, find a discreet position, and wait. The moment stays completely natural, and you go home with photos of the exact second it happened. Get in touch with your location idea and we'll plan it together.
Can international couples book you?
Absolutely. Most of the couples I work with are travelling to Copenhagen from abroad. Denmark is one of the easiest countries in the world for foreigners to get legally married, which is exactly why so many couples come here to elope. I'm familiar with how the City Hall process works and happy to help you figure it out.
How much does elopement photography in Copenhagen cost?
Packages start at 3,000 DKK, which covers up to 2 hours and all edited photos delivered via a private online gallery. You can add extra time, a second location, same-day sneak peek photos, or video. See the full pricing page for details — or just ask.
Do you only shoot at Copenhagen City Hall?
Not at all. City Hall is a beautiful and popular choice, but Copenhagen has dozens of incredible spots: Nyhavn, the Royal Library Garden, Frederiksberg, the cobblestone streets around Magstræde, the harbour waterfront. I can suggest locations based on your style, or we work with somewhere that means something to you.
How far in advance should we book?
Whenever you can — I'm open to checking my calendar even a day before your wedding! Just let me know as soon as you have your ceremony date and we'll figure it out.

Let's make
it happen.

Tell me about your day — where, when, what kind of moment you're planning. I'll get back to you within 48 hours.
