Last month, a couple hired me for their anniversary shoot. They got married at Københavns Rådhus last year without a photographer — "the ceremony is only ten minutes, how many photos do we need?" They have three photos from their wedding day. That's when I started mapping out these routes. Pre-planned walking paths with timing, locations, and exactly what happens in 1 hour vs 2 hours after your City Hall ceremony.

Every couple arrives with a list. Nyhavn, obviously. Maybe the Colourful house, Rosenborg slot. Probably whatever you saved on Pinterest. Here's what no list tells you: the location isn't the problem. The timing is.
