Max & Bryanna: An Unforgettable Prague Surprise Proposal

The Perfect Surprise in the City of 100 Spires

Max’s commitment to the perfect moment was clear: he traveled to Prague to personally scout a location that was not only incredibly romantic but one that he and Bryanna could return to for years to come. He chose one of the ‘City of 100 Spires’ truly iconic spots for his surprise proposal, resulting in an unforgettable evening.

An Evening of Unscripted Magic

The setting was perfect, but the evening brought its own unique, unscripted moments—from a passing tour group and an older couple who stopped to fondly relive their youth as they embraced and kissed at the location that was evidently an important part of their youth. All the while, Max patiently waiting for the ideal, quiet moment as he sat nearby with Bryanna. Then, as the sky began to change color, he led Bryanna to the iconic spot overlooking the historic castle and Old Town. He quietly dropped to one knee and extended a gorgeous diamond engagement ring. Bryanna, visibly shocked, happily accepted. Following their surprise proposal, they celebrated their engagement by taking an unforgettable walk: exploring, laughing, embracing, and sharing an impromptu dance at Prague Castle before ending up at the historic Charles Bridge.

Fifteen Years in the Making

The radiant Bryanna announced their good news to the world: “beyond excited to officially call my best friend and the love of my life my fiancé.” This new chapter is built on a beautiful foundation of 15 years of friendship, 6 years of long distance, and 11 months of living together. Prague’s timeless beauty was the perfect backdrop for this milestone, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of their lives have in store!

L&T: marriage proposal

While ‘L’ was on her European vacation with her best friend, her boyfriend ‘T’ decided to secretly fly to Prague and surprise her with a marriage proposal. ‘T’ being the kind of guy that he is really wanted to make it very special. After several email exchanges of ideas, locations and logistics – we had a plan. With some fantastic local musicians, one of our favorite florists and of course a truly wonderful location (where the nights dinner was to also take place) the only thing we needed was to make sure everything went according to plan.

On one of those gorgeous summer days where the warmth of the sun lit everything in a golden pastel ‘L’ and her best friend were walking around Kampa when she received a very odd text message. It said to go down the small walkway that is behind the fountain and a big surprise awaits you. Curiously (and being encouraged by her friend) she walked down and found herself in front one of the most beautiful views of the Charles Bridge as a string quartet began playing one of her favorite songs. Next to the musicians was a vase containing a dozen red roses and underneath a placard with her initials. Placed underneath a beautiful love letter with her initials. As ‘L’ began to read, she immediately teared up, as she finished she began looking around and then ‘T’ popped out from behind the corner with a very big grin and immediately hugged her. After their heartfelt embrace, the music changed again to their song and he proceeded to drop to his knee and proposed. You really could not plan for a more special moment than that. I do hope the photos capture that late afternoon and the emotions these two expressed for each other.

Truth is – sometimes a little planning goes a long way in creating the most memorable and unique days in one’s lives. Congrats to these two and thanks for allowing us to share such a private and memorable moment.

Pereen & Jay secret marriage proposal & E-Session in Prague!

Looking for inspiration on a surprise marriage proposal in Prague? Look no further than Jay’s surprise marriage proposal to his girlfriend Pereen on one of those hot summer nights in Prague.

Jay really wanted to go out of his way in creating an unforgettable surprise marriage proposal for his beautiful girlfriend Pereen. As these two live apart Prague was chosen as their rendezvous and little did Pereen know that Jay was holding on to a stunning engagement ring.

The location: the Letna overlook which provides a magical view of the city down below. The setup: a card game was introduced that brought out many laughs and smiles before the big moment. The moment – captured here for all to see. The bonus: Mother Nature provided them with an incredibly beautiful sunset and a lightning storm that was ferocious in its intensity.

After capturing at the Letna overlook and a quick walk towards the castle we opted to head down to Malostrana to capture some moments but had to jump inside a pub to escape the pouring rain. A few moments later the skies cleared and it was time to capture these as they experienced an unforgettable summer evening in Prague.

Pictured here is a small sample of that incredible evening.

To Jay & Pereen, it was fantastic meeting you and your book looks wonderful. Congratulations again and on behalf of my team we wish you both all the very best in your new lives together as husband and wife.
