Say yes in Kolding. Or in World Heritage Christiansfeld.
Kolding Municipality marries couples at Kolding town hall and at Søstrehuset in Christiansfeld, the Moravian settlement that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. Near Kolding I have photographed a church wedding, complete with a vintage car and a barbecue party. For your wedding, I photograph the ceremony, the congratulations and your couple shoot.
