Say yes in Haderslev. Between cathedral, old town and lake.
Haderslev lies at the end of a narrow fjord, with its cathedral, old town lanes and the large lake Haderslev Dam on the edge of town. The municipality marries couples on Fridays at the town hall, in German, English or Danish. I photograph your ceremony and then your couple shoot in the old town or by the water.
