Say yes in Middelfart. By the Little Belt.

Middelfart marries couples at the town hall on Nytorv, and on Saturdays also at places such as the Old Little Belt Bridge, in gardens or in hotels. The town lies on Funen, right on the Little Belt. I photograph your ceremony, the congratulations and then your couple shoot along the waterfront promenade or on the Hindsgavl peninsula.

  • Free ceremony at the town hall
  • On Saturdays, also on the Old Little Belt Bridge
  • Witnesses aged 15 and over
