Wedding photographer · Fredericia

Say yes in Fredericia. In the fortress town on the Little Belt.

Fredericia marries couples on weekdays in the council chamber on Gothersgade and on most Saturdays at the historic Meldahl's Rådhus. The town on the Little Belt is still encircled by its ramparts today. I photograph your ceremony, the congratulations and then your couple shoot on the ramparts or by the water.

  • Weekdays and most Saturdays
  • Witnesses provided by the municipality
  • Marriage certificate straight after the ceremony
