Prague Lifestyle Portrait Session / Amala & Emeka

Introducing one of our many gorgeous couples from this year: Amala & Emeka who hail from Nigeria.

They wanted a session that incorporated the best locations in Prague but without the hoards of tourists who over take this city daily and so a sunrise session was especially tailored for them.

Since they flew in from London the day before they had not had a chance to take in the sights yet and so we decided to start our session in front of one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague: the Praha Assurance building. This Art Nouveau masterpiece is one I highly recommend and visiting this building at dawn where the neon ‘Praha’ is lit is really a wonderful way to start off the day.

Led by our favorite hair & makeup artist Eliska who brought them down to where the crew was waiting, you can tell that this was a great starting point as Emeka & Amala were simply blown away by the atmosphere and the buildings beautiful & ornate facade.

Later we headed to the historic Charles Bridge and luckily there were not that many tourists. Seeing the sky change colors and the early morning light hit Prague Castle is truly a site to behold. The smile on Emeka’s face watching Amala take in the incredible atmosphere was worth the entire trip and she absolutely glowed standing there with a parasol in hand.

Our next location was the Old Town Square where luckily there were only a few stragglers left over from the previous nights partying. Without a doubt Old Town Square should truly be enjoyed at sunrise. Watching the sun break above the skyline of spires and especially when you walk hand in hand under Tyn Church with your partner in a nearly empty historic location as this is in a word – unforgettable.

But like all wonderful session they must come to an end and Emeka and Amala chose my personal favorite place – the Letna overlook for their final location. This truly is a stunning location as the city awakes and the sounds of trams, boats and many cars (too many actually) and pedestrians start their new day in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

After a few moments of soaking up the sunshine it was time to say our adieu’s and let Emeka & Amala explore this wonderful city on their own terms – hand in hand.

Prague photographers / Lana & Mike’s Lifestyle session

A picture perfect lifestyle portrait session with Lana & Mike who traveled over from Canada.

Lana & Mike have experienced traveling and living in Europe, and so they were looking for ‘a fun and vibrant city, and we felt that (Prague) really represented our relationship well.’ They were not disappointed in choosing the ‘city of a 100 spires.’

Though, the first day started off beautifully, the weather quickly turned unleashing lots of rain, in fact, it looked as if it did not want to stop. So for the first time ever, we cancelled our session. Though 20 minutes after we cancelled, the sun came out again, teasing us with a beautiful sky. But no worries, as most of the team was available the next day (Bara was able to step in with the hair & makeup), we were richly rewarded with perfect weather and clearly took advantage of it.

So where to begin in Prague?

One of my favorite places is the Jerusalem Synagogue, which is a fusion of Art Nouveau & the Moorish style. It is a bit off the beaten track and yet it is one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague. For those who have never seen it – they are missing out on something quite special. Lana & Mike were keen on visiting and luckily for us, we timed the light just right as normally this building is sitting in the shadows. Some of my favorite images of these two were captured here and I believe for Lana & Mike this is also a very special place as well.

From here, our session only became better as nearly every location we went too had wonderful sunlight and was not swarming with tourists – well, except Wenceslas Square, Mustek, the Charles Bridge…

The idea of simply taking a leisurely tour of the most beautifully interesting locations and letting each couple explore it on their own terms and pace is always something I know they will appreciate. I have always felt that the key to capturing wonderful portraits is to let the day flow naturally. Of course this only works when you have two fun, easy going people who are relaxed in front of the camera – after all it is their day.

After looking through this small collection, one can surmise that Lana & Mike had a very special time here and the images speak volumes about them as individuals and as a couple: sexy, smart, fun and open to new experiences. Personally, Lana & Mike’s session is one of my favorites, and what was their reaction: ‘The pictures look incredible!’

To Lana & Mike, thanks again for selecting us. You two are wonderful, on behalf of all of us here, we wish you both much love, happiness and future success as you journey through life.

Lifestyle photo shoot Prague / T&M portrait photography

Lifestyle photo shoot Prague / T&M portrait photography

When you have two good looking Americans who travel over from Chicago to have an E-Session or a Lifestyle portrait session you know you are in for a good time. T&M wanted a more relaxed, yet artistic session and I was very happy to show them some of my favorite locations.

Truth be told, our weather was not great, but that was ok as it lends itself to a more soft dreamy pastel look – plus an old dusty tilt shift lens helps add to the overall look. The locations: the usual, visually stunning, atmospheric, historic and magical locations that make this city so unforgettable.

What I enjoyed about working with these two, how excited they were when I took them to places that they had not visited before and how easy going they were.

And from the lovely lady herself: The pictures look amazing! Makes me wish I was a fashion blogger so I could have more reasons to fly to Prague and do more sessions with you. Huge thanks to you and Zbynek!

The best part of being a professional photographer, knowing that the images created will be cherished and appreciated for generations. Thank you to T&M, I look forward to catching up with the two of you one day in the future.
