Autumnness

Went for a wander amongst the leaves yesterday, to catch the last of the Autumn colours.

Malene & Jesper's Photobooth (Fotomaskinen)

The photobooth really got going at Malene and Jespers wedding as soon as they decided to announce a competition for which table on their seating plan could take the funniest picture.

In my opinion, the bridesmaids totally rocked the booth, though the other guests did an awesome job too, not to mention Jesper and Malene themselves!

Bottoms became a popular theme in the booth part way through the evening, but I thought I'd spare you the bare ones here, though warning, they are in the video below.

Not always easy on your wedding day, but the couple did manage to get a moment alone... in the booth...

And here's their video...

That about wraps it up for Malene and Jesper's big day, but I have a couple more weddings to get blogging about over the next few weeks.

A Traditional Danish Wedding with a Tint of Vintage

Way back in June, we shot Malene and Jespers engagement shoot out on the east coast of Funen, this time our travels took us in the opposite direction to the west coast of the island for their wedding.

Malene made their service booklets using one of the collages from their engagement shoot.

Their very good friend Gorm took to the organ for them in church.

The bridesmaids had beautiful, yet very simple bouquets of Arum lilies.

In Denmark it is traditional to throw rice at the couple instead of confetti, I say throw, but pelt might be a more accurate term, as everyone always seems to take it turns to throw it as hard as possible and Malene and Jesper certainly did not get off lightly!

... And the rice just kept on coming.

As Jesper is a true lover of anything with an engine, the couple had two wedding cars. Malene arrived in a beautiful vintage car and they left together with ultimate style in a Ferrari, needless to say we were supposed to be following them to the reception, but well, we didn't stand a chance of keeping up with them in that!

The weather held up all day, except for when we got to taking their portraits! Luckily it was just a small shower and we'd got the umbrellas at the ready just in case.

Another Danish wedding tradition, is that when the bride leaves the room, say to go to the bathroom, all the women queue up to kiss the groom. (As you can see, some of the ladies take their duties very seriously!)

And then when the groom leaves the room, guess what...

Songs and speeches also feature heavily at Danish weddings, not to mention good food... mmm...

A lot of kissing goes on at Danish weddings. When the wedding party isn't sneaking a kiss from

the bride or groom, they'll be banging their cutlery or stomping the floor to get the newlyweds to either stand on a chair to kiss or, crouch under the table for some cheeky lip-smacking action.

Thank you Malene and Jesper for such a wonderful time, we truly felt a part of your special day.

Up next, some their photo booth antics!
