Dave and Sanne’s story reads like a romance novel!
Sanne is from Denmark and came to Boston for only six months as part of her PhD program. At a dinner party thrown by mutual friends she met Dave and in no time they fell in love. It’s true what they say, “When you know, you know.” Sanne’s time in Boston was limited by her student visa, so they jetted off to elope in the most iconic way you can elope; in Las Vegas with Elvis by their sides!
Even though they eloped, they still wanted to celebrate their marriage with friends and family, so they decided to have two parties, one in Denmark, and they will have one in Boston in a few months.
What a treat it was to travel to Denmark, both to visit somewhere new, and I got to learn about some unique wedding traditions.
Like in the U.S., guests clink their glasses to get the bride and groom to kiss, but in Denmark the couple has to stand up on their chairs so everyone can a good look. Then, while they’re up there, the guests knock on the underside of the table. This is the cue for the bride and groom to get down and kiss under the table for their own “private” kiss. What fun!
Here is a small sample of some of the photos from that day. To view everything I shot for them, click here.
