Taylor and Nick: Eloping in Copenhagen, Denmark

I met Taylor about a year ago at a mutual friend's birthday party. We hit it off instantly with our love of travel. I was THRILLED when she contacted me about coming to Copenhagen with her and her fianceé, Nick, to capture their private, personal ceremony. My husband/all-star second photographer and assistant was able to tag along as well, and although it was a short trip it felt as though we were traveling with long-time friends.

We met up just after sunrise at the famously beautiful Nyhaven, which is my favorite spot in Copenhagen. We grabbed a few shots on the frosty streets along the canal, and used the time to warm up (in all kinds of ways).

Copenhagen is one of the more hassle-free cities in the European union to get married, but it does't make it any less romantic. Imagine flying to another city with completely different scenery and making it yours for a day? That entire city all of a sudden becomes your venue, the start of your love story.

We headed to City Hall for the ceremony, and found ourselves with some beautiful architecture and time to shoot! As much as I love the spirit of a big wedding day, I absolutely loved having the freedom to wander a new area, having plenty of time to craft beautiful portraits in a relaxed, fun environment.
