Prague pre wedding / Shirley & Green / photography

Spring time in Prague is beautiful. The historic locations, combined with the blossoming flowers is a sight to behold. Though there are many places one can experience, one of the more popular is Petrin Hill.

Perhaps it is because at night one can see the illuminated ‘little Eiffel Tower’ over looking the city down below, or the observatory where one can gaze at the stars on a clear nite. And who can forget the funicular that slowly brings people up the hill? Maybe it is the stunning views from the many paths that criss cross this park and the scent of the rose gardens that draws us? For me, it is simply because it is an oasis of calm.

Coming from Hong Kong, Shirley & Green were keen on some more natural locations with their Prague pre wedding portrait session. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that for many of our world travelers the architecture and the many iconic locations that define this city are ‘must haves’, but sometimes it is nice to embrace the simple beauty of nature and especially in a park overlooking a remarkable skyline below.

In addition to its beauty, Petrin also has a tradition that every couple must abide if they are here on May 1st. In Prague they say that if you kiss your girl under the Cherry Blossom tree ‘she will always be beautiful.’ Another saying, ‘love confirmed with a kiss under the Cherry Blossom tree will last forever’.

Presented here are some of Shirley & Green’s favorite images from that day.

Dear Kurt, The photos are absolutely FABULOUS!! We like them very much. Especially Petrin Cherry Blossoms, Charles Bridge and Obecni Dum. Thank you for your hard work.
