Wedding Ceremony

Thanks to the county’s liberal laws, Denmark is one of the easiest locations for destination wedding couples to get married abroad. The wedding ceremony was outdoors on the rocks with a beautiful view of the Baltic Sea. The couple exchanged vows and wedding rings and officially became newlyweds, sealed with a kiss! After the ceremony, they explored the surrounding areas and beach with their adventure wedding photographer.

The Wedding Setting

This outdoor location is located in Gudhjem, a charming harbor town on Bornholm’s north-east coast between Allinge and Svaneke. Gudhjem translates to ‘House of God’ and its name origin dates back to the Stone Age! It is a special place for Danes because it’s the town where the sun shines the longest, the last town in Bornholm to see the sunset. Gudhjem is beautifully characterised as an archipelago with a rocky coastline which makes for a beautiful backdrop for wedding photographs. After their wedding ceremony, Angelina and Sharif explored the surrounding beauty, including Princess garden, a remarkable rock garden atop the Baltic Sea with a beautiful view of the coastline.

Wedding Vision & Theme

Angelina and Sharif’s vision for their elopement was a chic beach vibe in the spring, but also a bold and passionate vibe. White roses made up the bridal bouquet and sparkling heels were the special touch to Angelina’s sleek A-line wedding dress with lace details. Because there was some adventure and walking involved in this special destination wedding, Angelina later changed to sneakers to be more comfortable, something more brides are doing lately! After visiting the rocky parts of Gudhjem, a beach visit was much needed where Angelina and Sharif took off their shoes and enjoyed the sand between their toes as they toasted champagne to their beginning as newlyweds.
