Prague wedding & portrait photographer

Daisy & Louis – Venice Honeymoon

Experienced the magical atmosphere of Venice as the night time turns towards day with our wonderful newlyweds from Hong Kong.

A little background about Daisy & Louis

These two wanted to have the very best wedding experience that Prague has to offer and so they chose a twilight hour start at Prague Castle for their photo shoot. As the sky began to lighten we headed down to watch the sunrise atop the historic Charles Bridge.

It was not just a pre wedding photo session that morning but it was also their wedding day. At lunchtime neared, we escorted them to the Old Town Hall where we documented these two as they married. Like many adventurous couples they wanted more from this once in a lifetime experience. After a needed break we began their sunset & night time photo session.

That evening as we were saying our goodbyes they were still glowing. Though it was a long day they absolutely loved their experience. With a twinkle in her eye Daisy offered to continue. After a few looks at the back of the camera and lots of hugging – we said our goodbyes.

Venice and a very special Honeymoon

Two days later they rang me from their Honeymoon in Venice and asked: would we consider flying down to Venice for another session? I was not only surprised but quite humbled. They could have chosen any photographer from Venice and it would be a lot easier for them too. Before I answered, I had a request of my own: can we start it before sunrise? Not only were they game but they later confided that was exactly what they were wishing.

The day of – in Venice, Italy

A few days later we were standing in a deserted and very peaceful St Mark’s piazza hugging, smiling, laughing and enjoying the quiet landscape that we had all to ourselves. This session would be all about them: exploring, cuddling, laughing and just enjoying the moment as the light changed from twilight to daytime and then some.

Sunset Boho styled Love Story

Zlata had heard about Pavel from friends who felt that they should meet up. Fans of social media and both having their own presence – they had already spied each other from afar. Then one day Pavel sent Zlata a message, telling her how beautiful her eyes are and how he would really like to meet up with her. To get to know her and to find out who the mystery is behind those eyes.

The night they met it was like reuniting two lost friends. As Zlata recalls she even jumped into his arms as ‘it just felt so right‘. Several years have passed since that fateful evening where their worlds changed. Though life has been at times difficult – they are still very much in love.

It was to be a small portrait session at sunset – more akin to a boho styled golden light session. Nothing fancy, just two people enjoying a rare moment of freedom unencumbered by life’s distractions – especially this unforgettable year. Yet that night became something more profound: a night where two people were able to hold each other tight as the sun’s warmth engulfed them.

A night where they can simply stop, hold each other tight and caress each other. And for one special moment all of their worries disappeared. They will never forget that night where they were able to reconnect again. Thanks to these beautiful mementos they can relive it over and over again.

A big thank you to one of my favorite hair & makeup artists Linda Chudmilova who always impresses me with her professionalism and care for her clients and her work. A big thank you to the wonderful florists at floradesign.cz who created a truly unique boho styled hair piece and bouquet that beautifully suited this wonderful couple.

Z&R Prague elopement

Looking for inspiration for your Prague elopement? Wishing to create a truly unique experience for you and your loved one? Look no further than Zoe & Randall.

These two first met while working in college. At first they were just really good friends who would excitedly meet over lunch. After a year, Randall confessed to Zoe that ever since that fateful 1st day of meeting her he had wanted a relationship.

They spent two wonderful years together before Randall proposed to marry. Zoe said yes and then the next chapter in their live began: where to marry? Should they have a big church wedding or perhaps a secret elopement wedding?

While watching videos on Expedia and travel vlogs on YouTube, they stumbled on to the enchanting scenery of Prague. They connected instantly. As Zoe recalls, the unique red-roofed buildings mixed with the historic cobblestone streets looked like a scene straight out of a fairytale. As she stated, her bohemian style was complemented perfectly in this beautiful city.

On a cool summer morning while many people were still asleep we met up with these and led them to some of our favorite locations. One of which they chose to have their beautiful and unforgettable elopment experience at – one that they will never forget.

To Zoe & Randall, we wish both of you much love and happiness in your new lives together as husband and wife!

Marketa & Jiri – love story session

Looking to have a beautiful love story session? Interested in experiencing the uniqueness of the historic Charles Bridge at sunrise? Or are you in need of some gorgeous photos of you and your partner? Photos that show that despite it all – life is good!

Introducing our latest very sexy couple: Marketa & Jiri. As they are Czech’s they know Prague and they know the locations. They were also looking for something a bit more stylish to suit their sophisticated taste.

These two have been together for awhile and as such they wanted to have some professional images that beautifully capture them. These Love Story Sessions are perfect in that these sessions are designed entirely with each couple ideas in mind.

Marketa & Jiri’s chosen locations: the romantic Charles Bridge at sunrise (actually a bit before). Plus the Strelecky Island before finishing up at the Rudolfinum. Their style: a mixture of the elegantly posed to the more informal where real moments are what it is all about. Seeing that these two were having such a great time the last thing I wanted to do was to spoil the moment they were experiencing by posing them.

The resuslts: I think their smiles say it all.

If you are in need of some sexy portraits of you and yours – check out our current offer on my website: www.KurtVinion.com and you can also find my current special offer in Czech as well.

Grace & Lance: Prague Sunrise

Grace & Lance could have married anywhere but opted for the beautiful, medieval city of Prague for their elopement. Their wedding planner arranged for their wedding to take place before lunchtime (a truly odd time). When I found out about their timeline I asked them if they would consider getting up very early to experience something couples rarely have the privilege of having: a romantic nighttime/sunrise wedding portrait session. Seeing their smiles was all I needed to know that this couple was really going for something truly unique and special. The preceding photos capture in pictures what they felt – far more than my writing. As such I will leave it there.

Prague has become very popular with tourists and with so many tourists out and about it just does not feel intimate any longer. It used to be that on one’s wedding day you could take leave of your guests and enjoy a few intimate moments alone on or near the Charles Bridge or especially near the riverside. Those locations are quite prized for couples wishing to capture some unique portraits on their wedding day. Yet with so many tourists out and about, capturing those special moments has become increasingly more difficult. For those adventurous couples who are willing to get up quite early, the rewards of having these incredible locations nearly all to yourselves are simply priceless.

MingSi &Nicholas Prague pre-wedding

So what does one do when it rains on the day of? Normally we would postpone, but as this was MingSi and Nicholas’s only chance for their Prague pre-wedding we went ahead. Though it was pouring down rain when we started, we were lucky enough to see it stop about an hour later and when it did – we were gifted with beautiful weather and an unforgettable pre-wedding experience.

Kathy & Joshua – Creative & Art Directed Prague Pre-Wedding

A wonderful couple who chose to experience the magical night time romance of Prague for their pre wedding portrait session.

For many couples from Asia, Prague is a gem that has rarely been explored. Most couples know about Paris, London and who can forget those wonderful locations closer to home in Asia. But Prague has been quietly winning over many couples who explore here. With increcible architecture, beautiful gardens and for those adventurous couples who brave the early wake up call – the magical night time romance of its gas lamp lit cobblestone streets always leaves a favorable impression.

For our latest couple, the very sweet and warm Kathy & Joshua – Prague was an experience they will never forget. The bonus: they were able to have pictures (real film) taken during their own portrait session with their antique cameras.

The day of…

We began their session at the riverside in hopes of having a dramatic sunrise. Though it was not as expected, it was still a wonderful experience as they were able to see first hand a romantic sunrise over the historic skyline of the Charles Bridge. They were all smiles as the sun quickly warmed up their bodies and gave them the neccessary energy to explore.

We did stop along the way for several wonderful locations that were picture perfect before heading to the Old Town Square where the historic Astronomical Clock is located. Kathy & Joshua were quite keen on having many images captured here as the medieval clock is such a unique icon of Prague. From here we explored the Old Town square before walking back towards Mala strana. One of their requested locations was a secluded spot over the city – which I always enjoy taking couples to. It is a rare respite from walking around as you can simply sit and enjoy the scenery down below.

Our last location The Vrtba Garden was where they changed in to a second outfit and brought out some vintage cameras. As these two are camera buffs I wanted to incorporate that aspect of their personalities.

Just as quickly as our day started it came to an end. But everyone was all smiles as we headed out from the garden.

Presented here is a wonderful morning these two will be able to relive over and over again thanks to these beautiful moments.

For adventurous couples who desire something truy magical we always recommend getting up early and having a pre wedding before dawn.
