Documentary photography for couples who want something real. Just you, each other, and Copenhagen.

I'm John Choque, a Copenhagen-based documentary photographer specialising in elopements, proposals, and intimate weddings. Most of my couples are international. Denmark is one of the easiest countries in the world for foreigners to get legally married, and Copenhagen City Hall is where many of them choose to do it. Packages start from 3,000 DKK and cover locations across the city: City Hall, Nyhavn, the Royal Library Garden, Frederiksberg, and wherever means something to you.
I'd love to be there with a camera when you say yes.
City Hall or anywhere in the city. Just the two of you, done properly. I know Copenhagen's best spots and how the day flows — from the spiral staircase at Rådhus to a walk through Nyhavn or the Royal Library Garden after.
From 3,000 DKK Book nowI arrive early, find a spot you won't notice me, and wait. The moment stays completely natural and you go home with photos of the exact second it happened. No staging.
From 3,000 DKK Plan itSmall guest list, big feeling. Whether it's a handful of people at a Copenhagen venue or a full day from getting ready to last dance, I document it as it happens. Half day or full day, you choose what fits.
From 4,500 DKK Let's talk
A quick call before the day. I want to know how you are with cameras, what makes you uncomfortable, what you actually want from the photos. I will adapt to what you want.
Sometimes you need a bit of direction to feel comfortable and get a good photo. Sometimes you're mid-laugh or mid-sentence and I just need to be there for it. I know which is which and I switch between them all day.
Usually faster. You'll get a few favourites within a day or two because waiting is annoying. Raw files available if you want them. Need it faster, we can talk about that too.
Most of my work is in Copenhagen but not all of it. Anywhere in Denmark is fine. Europe too if you ask.
Anything else on your mind, just send a message. I write back the same day.
Tell me about your day — where, when, what kind of moment you're planning. I'll get back to you within 48 hours.
