Hello Copenhagen * Hej København
Oh how you have welcomed me with your delicious light and sparking waters. You are a photographer's dream with beauty and surprises around each corner, and I'm so excited to have you as my new canvas and home. The last few months have been a flurry of unpacking the many leaning tower of Pisa boxes with a good sprinkling of fun adventures (and far too many scrummy Danish pastries), as we (the dear hubster and our beloved cats Kiki and Klein), have settled in and made København our new home. Now we are all happily settled, I can't wait to put my cameras to work. Denmark is a beautiful location to tie the knot, be it a chic city wedding to Boho nuptials in a dramatic forest. It lends itself as a stunning backdrop for LOVE shoots too.
I will still very much continue to shoot weddings in the UK too, keeping a West Sussex base to work from. So I will be welcoming and looking forward to future weddings and commissions on British soil, just as before, as always, no change here... Don't hesitate to drop me a line should you be planning a wedding in the UK and would like to know more about my wedding packages. :) I do love a British wedding and look forward to dividing my time between København, UK and where ever my camera takes me as I do love to travel!
So the Danish adventure begins! It's been a wonderful one so far learning about the culture and the Danish way of life. I can now see why the Danes have been labeled the happiest race in the world. Highlights so far have been embracing the bike love culture (there is nothing better than cycling through beautiful scenery with wind in your hair!), and the food...did I mentions the food?! Ahhhh another piece of heaven.... It's just as well cycling is the best form of transport!
Here are a few personal family snaps taken on film of my very first impressions of the city. We naturally jumped at the chance to spend Sunday doing as the Danes do so well, dedicating the day to a long lazy brunch spent with family! The images are shot on Fuji 400h film - oh yes, this city deserves some film love! You can't beat the beautiful luminous quality and soft tones that film creates. I will be sure to shoot more film this year, especially as I'm thrilled to discover some specialist camera shops who are also in with a love of film and analogue cameras too such as One of Many Cameras and Photografica.
It's clear that I'm head over heels smitten with this city and it's friendly folk. Summer has certainly arrived and the waters are glittering away with a bright sparkle. Water is EVERYWHERE from the sea, to canals, to beautiful lakes, natural harbour pools. I can't wait to jump in metaphorically to the way of life and literally into the crystal clear waters! :) Looking forward to more Danish adventures and making new friends. If you are planning a wedding in Denmark it would be lovely to hear you... :) LOVE x
