One of my most cherished possessions is a simple black-and-white photograph of my grandparents — young, radiant, walking down a bustling American street in 1941 on the weekend they secretly eloped. That photograph remains my most treasured heirloom, a constant reminder that real love often begins with a bold step into the unknown.

I’m Kurt Vinion, an American photographer based in Prague with over 20 years of international experience. Formerly represented by Getty Images, my work has been published in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and many international outlets. I was also a Competition Judge for the Press Photographers’ Association of Greater Los Angeles in 2023 and have been named among the WPJA World’s Top 100 Artistic Guild Photographers.

My background in documentary photojournalism taught me how to capture genuine emotion with honesty and elegance. Today, I bring that same approach to Prague engagement sessions, pre-wedding shoots, and intimate weddings.

Whether at sunrise on Charles Bridge, in the baroque gardens of Vrtba Garden, or high above the city at Prague Castle, I create natural, cinematic images that feel authentic to your love story.

I have a particular passion for working with Asian couples. It began with my very first Asian pre-wedding session in Prague in 2008. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of photographing hundreds of couples from Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, and beyond — both in Europe and across Asia. This extensive experience allows me to truly understand the aesthetic, cultural nuances, and emotions that matter most to Asian couples.

I believe the best photographs are not forced — they are felt. My goal is simple: to create timeless keepsakes that your family will treasure for decades.
