K+M (UK) Vrtba Garden wedding

What a whirlwind of a wedding! When I first Katie & Michael a year prior to their wedding I knew they were planing a wonderful wedding day for their family & friends from around the world. As they live in the UK they are used to being pampered and having only the best, so when I listened to them speak excitably about their wedding day I could only smile. First, Katie is a gorgeous lady and though she opted not to have the bridal preparation covered (she is also very shy) she did mention that she would like to have a few single portraits. The one thing they really stressed was they wanted a reportage / natural style set of images from their Prague wedding. And so it was settled.

Their wedding venue: the incredible Vrtba Garden – a personal favorite. The wedding planners were Tim from Royal Wedding who is well known for crafting stunning weddings here in Prague and throughout the Czech Republic. For their very short portrait session (the evening party and events was of paramount importance) we decided on the Royal Garden which is stunning when in bloom offering incredible vistas. The evening dinner & party was to take place at the Alchymist Grand Hotel – a venerable Prague institution that I have always enjoyed.

What follows is a small sampling (they had about 600 beautiful images from their wedding day) of that very special day when Katie & Michael and their family & friends joined them in celebrating their union here in Prague.

Yana & Daniel (Israel) destination wedding in Prague

Truth be told, Yana & Daniel’s small, intimate, very family oriented, destination wedding in Prague is one of my favorites from 2016. They are both incredibly sweet, and their family & friends are as adorable as these two. I knew when we met the day before that we were going to have a great time.

Their wedding day was simple enough, meet at a salon in the centre of Prague where Yana was getting prepped and the very patient Daniel and family & friends were waiting. After she was prepped it was time for some wonderful images of them seeing each other for the first time with family & friends and then it was time to travel to their wedding venue: Hrad Cerveny Ujezd a place I have flown over several times before but have never visited.

After the wedding ceremony it was time for some wonderful group and family portraits where the only important thing was having fun. As these two are very laid back and fun we simply (stills & video) followed them around as they explored the grounds. Later we traveled to Prague Castle for a second round of beautiful portraits before eventually meeting up with family & friends as the Botel Admiral for their evening dinner and dancing.
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words and as such I think I will let the images of these two speak for themselves.

To Yana & Daniel, it was fantastic meeting you two as well as capturing these beautiful images. I hope these photos bring you a lifetime of joy as you two certainly deserve it.

an engagement session in Prague with A&P (USA)

Introducing our very cute & fun couple Andrey & Phillip who live in sunny Los Angeles. They are good friends with a couple whose engagement portrait session we captured a few years back at Prague Castle. As Andrey & Phillip were going to be in Prague for a few days they contacted us and inquired if we could create a session for them. Unlike our usual portrait sessions where we work with a crew of assistants, hair & makeup and at times a full video crew, they wanted a more toned down, simplistic approach: just the two of them and myself. I must admit, I very much enjoy these very simple ‘natural light sessions’ as couples are far more relaxed when they feel that no one is watching them or fussing about with their hair & makeup all the time. Plus the great thing about Andrey & Phillip, they know how to have a great time in front of the camera.

What follows is a wonderful morning of two people in love exploring the sites of a beautiful city.

I am often asked: do I ever tire of photographing the same locations in Prague? The truth is, it is not about the locations as it is about sharing & capturing couples who are experiencing this city for the first time. The bonus: capturing those beautiful, intimate moments shared between. That is what I enjoy best.

To Andrey & Phillip I hope that when you view these images (hanging on your walls, or presented in a beautiful designer book) you relive that special time here in Prague.

{pre wedding photo Prague} our latest couple from Shanghai China R&F

Our latest couple Rebecca and Frank hail from Shanghai, decided to have a photo session in Prague after traveling around Europe. Unbeknownst to Rebecca, Frank also had a surprise engagement ring – and what followed was a wedding proposal that was live streamed to the world.

Rebecca & Frank also had a bit of a dilemma, they waited to nearly the last minute (they are very busy & successful people) and not only did they wish to have a European pre wedding but they also needed to have the entire session edited, retouched and files sent within two weeks. Of course when money is not an issue anything is possible. The other issue, Frank wanted to share his surprise marriage proposal to friends and family from around the world. What follows is a wonderful autumn morning (minus the sun…sometimes we have bad luck with the weather here), two outfits (that red dress is amazing) and a surprise that caught Rebecca totally off guard.

Photo shoot locations: Prague Castle, St. Vitus, Castle Steps, Charles Bridge, Nove Mesto, Old Town Square, Astronomical Clock, Mala Strana, Riverside and the finale at the Charles Bridge.

Special thanks to the team for doing a kick ass job (Linda, Cary & Dorota).

gorgeous pre wedding in Prague D&L (Hong Kong)

Pre wedding photo Prague. The wonderful Daisy & Louis traveled over from Hong Kong to the Czech Republic to have their very special photo session in Prague. They also had a very small and sweet civil ceremony at The Old Town Hall in Prague where the two exchanged vows

As the summer months can get very hot and quite busy with tourists, we decided to take things easy and have a sunrise session starting at the incredible Prague Castle before they were to marry. The beautifully lit Prague Castle in the early am provided a quiet, magical scene that was straight out of a movie set – we simply had the castle gates and the gas lit streets all to ourselves.

As with many couples we work with from Asia, Daisy & Louis wanted a more natural and spontaneous look and of course a few fashion oriented portraits thrown in as well. After traveling to the usual locations (the Charles Bridge, Riverside and of course around Kampa) for their pre wedding portraits we headed to the always busy Old Town Square where they were quickly ushered upstairs and exchanged their vows. A short carriage ride afterwards provided the ending to the morning and then a break in the afternoon before our hair & makeup team readied them for a very short and magical sunset pre wedding portrait session.

I am very pleased at how this session turned out and Daisy & Louis were also quite pleased even though they had only seen a few images on the back of the camera. A week later they contacted me again and asked if we can do a second session with them in Venice / Venezia – of course I said yes.

But before we showcase their beautiful Venice session, let’s take a look at one of the most beautiful pre wedding portrait sessions captured by yours truly in Prague.

Portrait Locations: Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, Letna, riverside, Charles Bridge Hair & Makeup: Linda Chudmilova Lighting crew: Stefan

LA Bride featuring Julia & Sergio’s destination wedding in Prague

LA Bride featuring Julia & Sergio’s destination wedding in Prague

Ok, everyone who knows me knows that I am a disaster at SEO and promoting myself. I am first and foremost a photographer who believes in creating beautiful images and not spending time behind the computer trying to game the SEO. So every now and then even I am surprised when someone reaches out to me and asks to republish a wedding or a pre-wedding portrait session.

When LA Bride asked if they could showcase one of my favorite couples: Julia and Sergio I could not resist. They and their families were such a real treat to be around and Julia’s smile can melt your heart. So yes, I was quite stocked. So without adieu, here is a link to a fantastic outfit based in Australia showcasing the best from around the world and their take on Julia & Sergio.

A big shout out to LA Bride featuring not only my work but some fantastic photographers from around the world.

L&Q (Singapore) pre-weddings photo session

Originally from mainland China and now living in Singapore, the adorable Lei Nan & QT were looking for a more ‘classical’ & ‘posed’ pre-wedding portrait session before their imminent wedding day back in Singapore. Their rules, ‘no kissey’ photos and more importantly – many photos of the lovely bride-to-be as she was the ‘star’ of the session. QT certainly knows how to keep his lady happy and during their portrait session he spent much of his time photographing her and uploading the images to his Facebook account as we were capturing her. It was a very much fun and beautiful day.

We started our day atop the world famous Charles Bridge as it was shrouded in fog of orangish red glow. As the sun crept slowly above the gray/blue sky – we were provided with a dazzling array of pastel colors. It was a cool and yet beautiful start. Afer a few quiet moments of these lovers enjoying the view and the momentary solitude of the bridge, it was time for a few stand out and individually styled portraits of the lovely bride-to-be. Moments later, the bridge was quickly invaded with many tourists and even other couples who were also there for their pre-weddings and so it was time to head off.

The next location was the always delightful Old Town Square where the sun broke about the skyline and provided everyone with a warmth that was surely appreciated. And to get them warmed up a bit more, QT grabbed the lovely Lei Nan and spun her around as the sunlight flared around them. A very wide angle lens beautiful captures these two enjoying the Old World charms of one of the most beautiful squares in Europe.

One of the key reasons why QT and Lei Nan chose Prague was due to its wide array of architecture and of course it’s gardens. The Vrtba Garden (Vrtbovska Zahrada) is on many couples must visit lists when coming to Prague as it truly is an architectural gem. One of the best things about this garden is the incredible background it provides for a more elegant portrait session as well as the many locations that are possible here. Lei Nan had seen many photos captured here and she really wanted this style of photography and as you can see it turned beautifully. In fact, the session looks more like a magazine cover shoot than a pre-wedding session.

Their other chosen locations were: St. Nicholas Church, as well as Prague Castle and lastly for their finale: the Charles Bridge where it all began earlier in the day. To say that some of their final images captured at the Charles Bridge is quite beautiful and striking truly is an understatement.

If there was a word to describe these two it must certainly be: wonderful. Instead of writing more, I think I will let the images speak for themselves.
