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.

Cynthia & Matt: marriage proposal

Matt sold Cynthia on the idea of having a lifestyle session, but in reality it was to be a completely different kind of session: a surprise marriage proposal at the riverside in Prague.

Sometimes life throws you something totally unexpected. These two globetrotters met the previous summer on one of those hot, humid nights where the right music and the energy of the crowd was happening. They spied each other from afar, smiled and they knew that there was something very special unspoken between them. They walked up, met, shared lots of laughs, stories and enjoyed the evening where time simply stood still.

One of their fondest memories from that night was the two of them taking a long walk that night in to the early hours on the Charles Bridge as the twilight broke above them. It was an unforgettable chance encounter one that they could not shake.

As they live on different continents it was one of those affairs where they really became close even though they were so far apart physically. And then a year (and a few months later) they decided to meet up and celebrate where they first met – here in Prague. It was her idea to have a small lifestyle photo session to capture some new memories.

In the early hours before the city awoke and before the city is overtaken in tourists, they did just that. Cynthia warned me that she was far more interested in the photos than he was (typical guy thing) but that was most likely a ploy as Matt had something he had been holding on to for quite some time. And just like fate – it all came together unsuspectingly and quite beautifully.

What follows here is a small photo story of that very special moment these two shared where they made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife.

A romantic marriage proposal at Prague Castle

Dillon’s friends knew that once he met Celeste it would be game over. They were so confident that when they were finally introduced at a party he was literally taken back. He was that smitten by her. She was also quite in to him as well. Fast forward a few years and it was time – after all she is the one. With the help of her father (yes, Dillon is the chivalrous type), a view master and an absolutely stunning diamond engagement ring (and yes, yours truly) an evening was planned that they would soon not forget. The only question he had: where should he propose? Truth be told I always say – go with your instincts. When it feels right – it will be right. As we made our way around the always impressive St. Vitus Cathedral Dillon knew. And just as the sun began to fade he brought out the view master and asked her to take a look – at the many moments they had shared together in the past. What follows is captured here adding to an already impressive collection of images and moments these two have shared.

{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).

Lauren & Gustav’s marriage proposal in Prague

The most beautiful wedding proposal on the Charles Bridge in Prague with Lauren & Gustav (USA)!

It truly was the most beautiful and romantic marriage proposal you will ever see on the Charles Bridge in Prague – in fact, it is a new standard.

Gustav (whose family traces their roots from here) sold Lauren on the idea of traveling to Prague for a vacation and while they were here to recreate a famous painting of a couple dancing atop the world famous Charles Bridge at night with several musicians.

With that in mind, the musicians (Viktorie & Pavel), the crew (lighting of course as you wish to have everything perfect – no cutting costs here) and of course the amazing location of the Charles Bridge at sunrise was organized on their behalf. The only thing we needed was perfect weather and luckily in the summer months that is never a problem.

They say that pictures are worth a 1000 words and with that in mind, I think we will simply let the following selection of their favorite images tell the story of that incredible summer morning in Prague.

To Gustav & Lauren, thank you both again and especially Gustav for choosing my team to create this very special wedding proposal in Prague. On behalf of all of us here, we wish you much happiness, success and love in your new lives’ together as husband and wife. A special thanks to Linda Chudomelová for doing a great job on the hair & makeup and to Kari our kick ass intern who came to Prague for the summer and did an amazing job. Thanks again Kari!

Prague marriage proposal: Jennifer & Frank / St. Vitus belltower portraits

A Prague marriage proposal: Jennifer & Frank / St. Vitus belltower portraits

Sometimes when it feels right, you just have to go with it. Frank planned a truly special & whirlwind European visit for his lovely girlfriend Jennifer. He also had a secret he was keeping from her, an engagement ring. The plan: fly to Paris, then catch a connecting flight to Prague where they were to be picked up by a chauffeur and quickly whisked straight to St. Vitus Cathedral – where a special tour was set up just in their honor. Talk about fast.

But sometimes things take an unexpected turn, flights can be delayed, traffic can be disrupted and the timeline simply too tight to pull off. But no worries, when it feels right it will work itself out in the end. Instead of having the cathedral tour, a different tour was organized at the famed St. Vitus bellower that was begun in 1396 and has overlooked the castle and the city down below ever since.

After all of that time traveling on the planes and rushing through was Jennifer really going to be up for walking up those 287 steps? After being dropped off at the front gate of the castle a visibly excited Jennifer and Frank was game, after all how often does one start a European vacation like this?

Though it was overcast and raining lightly that did not dampen their spirits as they took in the impressive views down below of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. To think that 24 hours earlier they were in the states. And then – the moment arrived. It was quick, quite a surprise, very tender and very special. As a photographer I really do hope these images capture that special time that Jennifer & Frank shared on that very special day in their lives here in Prague. Presented here are some of their favorite moments.

To Frank and Jennifer, it was an honor and a privilege, I wish both of you much love, happiness and success in your new lives together. It would be great catching up with the two of you again.

marriage proposal Prague: Natalie & John / photography session

A marriage proposal in Prague: Natalie & John / photography session

A marriage proposal in Prague! This city is truly remarkable and to capture it during the winter months when it is snowing is quite special. When John contacted me about proposing to his lovely girlfriend Natalie, I was excited for them as the weather forecast called for snow. On the day of their session it was snowing, though it was sadly not accumulating as the city was simply too warm. Such is life in Prague that we only have a few truly snow covered days here.

The location, the Hanovsky Pavillion, which is a personal favorite of mine as it is usually a very quiet, peaceful place overlooking the bustling city down below. Natalie was obviously very happy as she thrust out her hand with a very large smile on her face a mere few seconds into John bending down to propose. A few moments of letting them enjoy the mood and Natalie wondering why a photographer was capturing them, I had to introduce myself to the very happy couple.

As these two are very laid back, we opted to head over to Prague Castle for a few candid photos and some of my favorites are of them as they danced amidst the falling snow at the outdoor theater at the castle. Later we walked to the Charles Bridge and of course the riverside and lastly finished our session at Old Town Square. It was a sweet, fun, unforgettable day and I am quite honored to have been a part of this moment in Natalie & John’s lives.

Presented here is the collection of their favorite images.

To Natalie & John, I wish you both much love, happiness and prosperity in your new lives together as husband and wife.
