In Hillerød, the wedding photos almost plan themselves. Frederiksborg Castle rises out of the castle lake in red brick and sandstone, its copper spires reflected in the water, and the Baroque garden steps down the slope in neat terraces and clipped hedges. My job is to make sure you feel as composed as that garden looks, starting in the room where you get ready.
Where do brides in Hillerød usually get ready?
I come to you: a house in town, a family home in the North Zealand countryside, a hotel room or the venue itself. All I need is a table, a chair and a window. I arrive with everything, including pins and products for your veil and hair accessories, and plan the morning backwards from the ceremony, so there is time left over for a quiet coffee before you put on the dress.
What kind of look fits a Renaissance castle and a formal garden?
A setting this ornate suits a refined, classic approach rather than heavy trends. Think:
- Satin-finish skin with a natural Nordic glow, so the detail of the castle stays the backdrop.
- A timeless updo or a low chignon that echoes the symmetry of the garden.
- Soft romantic curls if you would rather have movement for a walk by the lake.
- Gentle definition around the eyes and a lip colour you would happily wear again.
For an evening reception, we can add a little modern glamour with a deeper lip or a smoky edge.
Any practical advice for photos around the lake?
Gravel paths and garden steps make comfortable shoes a good idea between portraits, and a long train benefits from a helper. Near the water the light is bright and reflective, so I keep shine under control while leaving the skin luminous. Spring and summer bring full green hedges; autumn gives warmer tones that pair beautifully with copper and terracotta shades on the lips and eyes. If the weather turns, long-wear products and a small touch-up kit make a big difference; my touch-up kit guide lists what to pack.
How can I reserve my date?
Message me on WhatsApp or send an email with your date, the ceremony time and the number of people. Prices for the bride and guests are on my packages page; trials, early starts and travel outside Copenhagen are on request.
