About
Let me create photographic memories for you!
How I became a photographer
The idea for Juli Behrendt Bexkens Photography was kickstarted on 11/11/17 at the Heineken Experience in Amsterdam, at the wedding of two people very dear to me. Their photographer had cancelled, and despite never having photographed a wedding before, they asked me to photograph their ceremony and wedding party based on my previous photo work. I’m forever thankful for their trust and the little thrust it gave me!
The experience gave me the confidence to start my own business and the rest is history!
My expertise
Over the past seven years, I have honed my skills in capturing beautiful moments at weddings, elopements, and small, intimate ceremonies on the picturesque Danish West coast, in addition to family lifestyle photography.
I often find myself photographing in natural settings, family vacation homes, churches, registry offices, and at various event venues, utilising a blend of natural and artificial lighting to achieve the desired effect.
Location
For the past decade, Denmark was home, where I captured countless memories, with shoots also in Spain and the Netherlands. As of December 2023, I’m excited to be based in the Netherlands (Montfoort), continuing to offer photography services. I’m fluent in Dutch, English, German, and Danish.
Frequently Asked Questions
For your family event, the photoshoot will take place at or around the church, your wedding ceremony location, the party venue, or a picturesque location near-by. If I have not been to the location before, I will arrive well before the photoshoot to scout the best spots for your photos.
For a family photoshoot, after you have booked a time, I will contact you, and together, we will choose the best location for your family from a range of options. All locations I work with feature different settings for photos and offer timeout options for the children. Alternatively, the session can take place at your home, which is especially recommended for Newborn photoshoots. Additionally, for newborn photography, I can also come to the hospital (usually within 72 hours after birth).
For church weddings, I recommend to book at least 2 hours, in order to cover the ceremony, groups photos and couple's portraits. Elopements and free ceremonies can be covered in 1 hour, including couple's photos.
Family photography packages of 1 hour are for up to 10 people. That doesn’t mean your family can’t be bigger, it will only mean that you need to book additional photography time. Newborn photoshoots concentrate on the newest family member but will feature parents and/or siblings, and take usually 1 hour.
For your family event, there is no limit on the participants. I may recommend booking additional photography time depending on the size of your party if, for example, you want to cover a lot of group photos or locations.
Absolutely! Please look at my portfolio, this could be you. Usually, the people I photograph are not trained models. Quite the opposite, many have the same concern as you. How do I look good in front of the camera?
Let me ensure you that I have great experience making you shine - without mechanic: do this, look here. I work with queues, natural movement, and closeness.
You decide what you wear – simple! Colours don’t have to match between family members, feel free to colour-coordinate. It’s not about what you wear, it’s about the connection between people.
To give you a few recommendations:
- If our photoshoot is not in the middle of summer, bring warm clothes, especially for your children. It’s important that you are comfortable, and there is always the option to take a jacket off for a few minutes for some photos.
- Bring a pair of comfortable shoes if we move around between a lot of locations. You can put your heels back on when we arrived.
- Umbrellas make great props, bring them!
Outdoor photography is subject to the weather. BUT! We can always find a solution. I’ll make sure to make you shine just as much under a tree, a canopy, a roof, or of course inside. In any case, I always check the weather close to the date and time of the photoshoot and will contact you, if we need to reschedule or replan some of our shoot, if possible.
You can expect a minimum of 40 and a max of 100 photos in your online gallery for one hour of photography. You will, in fact, receive in fact double the number of photos, as I also provide you with a black & white version of all photos. For all packages, you always have the option to buy a custom lie-flat photo book, which will include all photos from the photo session, and is designed by me.
All photos will be made available in highest resolution to you in an online gallery (in .jpeg-format), ready for printing (up to 75x120 cm) and sharing on Social Media. In addition to a colour version of the photo in my signature look, you will receive a black & white version of each photo. As an additional option, you will receive a printed photo book, designed by me, with a selection of photos from the shoot.
After the photography session, my work continues. I sight, sort, and edit the photos, prepare your online gallery, and your photo book (if chosen). You can expect your online gallery within 5 to15 working days after the photoshoot, and the printed photo book within 10 days after the online gallery is finished.
I use a software to minimise the size of the digital photo files in order to save both you and me space on our harddrives and online storages. The file size reduction does not affect the resolution. Most of my files are delivery with a resolution of 3000x4000 at 300dpi. This ensures print sizes up to 75x120cm!
About Me
Martin Bogdahn Paulsen
Photographer
In 2020, I started collaborating with Martin and his photography partner Kirsten. Martin and Kirsten photograph as a team, and have been great associates since 2020. They are part of my much-valued backup team.
Rune Arnberg Kulmbak
Photographer
At the beginning of 2022, I dislocated my elbow playing ice hockey – a disaster as photographer. For almost 3 months, I couldn’t hold a camera. Many photoshoots had already been booked – Rune not only saved me but many couple’s wish for professional photos on their wedding day.
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Rune work on location, with the couple – an experience that makes it a pleasure to recommend Rune to any couple who I have to turn away – hopefully in the future only due to scheduling conflicts and not more injuries.
Rune is located in Odense, from where he can reach all of Denmark.

Christoph is a fully qualified videographer who graduated from the Danish Media College in 2014.

His editing is always tailored to the needs of the client, he studies the conditions and is ready to adjust to changing events – as it often happens at weddings.
