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!
