Wendy & Jack: Chasing The Golden Light In Prague Pre-Wedding

When planning your pre-wedding photoshoot in Prague, it’s essential to consider what style suits you best—posed and directed images, or a more natural and authentic feel that highlights your personalities. Timing also matters: a daytime, nighttime, or a combination of both can create diverse, breathtaking visuals. For one stylish couple from Taiwan, the goal was clear—they wanted everything, from iconic Prague locations without tourists to the incredible golden-hour light.

Starting pre-dawn on the iconic Charles Bridge, we embraced the magical golden hour and created a mix of fun, stylish portraits and natural moments. With some guidance to enhance their looks and outfits, we chased the early morning sun through beautiful spots like the Royal Garden, resulting in timeless, romantic images.

To Wendy and Jack—thank you for choosing us to capture your love story. We wish you both a future filled with happiness!

A Winter Destination Wedding At The Historic Troja Chateau

A beautiful destination wedding at the Troja Chateau featuring the lovely Helen and her husband Cesar who traveled over from Lebanon to have their dream wedding in Prague. Beautiful, natural-styled wedding photography captured not only at the Troja Chateau but at many of Prague’s iconic locations.

Not only were these two an absolute joy to capture on their visually stunning and happy wedding day but their close family & friends who joined them made it all come together. It was truly unforgettable.

H&I (Israel) Prague destination wedding

Prague destination wedding

It wasn’t exactly ‘love at first site’ between Haya & Igor. When they first met at work they did not care for each other. Perhaps it was because they were both already romantically in a relationship with others? But fate has a way of interceding and a few months later – after getting to know each other – they both found themselves living as singles again and in need of a new place to call home. As apartments are very expensive in Israel, it seemed like a good idea to combine their incomes and find a suitable place to call home. And a friendship quietly blossomed into a relationship. As Haya recounts, they never really had a ‘real date’.

After their courtship they announced that they were to marry. But where? They had considered Cyprus but Prague with its beautiful architecture, Old Town Square and castle dominating the skyline won their hearts. Originally it was to be only 3 days in Prague for a quick wedding between the two of them, but with their family & friends wishing to join them the decision was made to stay a week so that a proper bachelor/bachelorette party could be arranged. For Haya & Igor having their close family & friends join them in Prague was truly special and one they both truly appreciate.

One of the most lasting impressions I have of these two (besides the fact that everyone had a wonderful time and these two are a real joy to be around was) – Haya’s absolutely beautiful and very elegant wedding dress. The design came about from an idea that Haya had sketched out with her sister, and as her friend and sister could sow, they took it upon themselves to create this very beautiful, elegant and stylish dress. Knowing that this dress was designed and created by them makes it that much more special.

Presented here is a collection of images captured from their very special wedding day here in Prague.

Vrtba garden elopement wedding with KA&S (USA)

 

A vrtba zahrada  / garden wedding in Prague with Kaivel Ann & Stan (USA)

Kaivel Ann & Stan (USA) destination wedding in Prague, Czech Republic by Kurt Vinion

Kaivel Ann & Stan are two very lovely people who found love in the skies. As both of them work for an airline they have traveled extensively around the world.  Even though they know many exotic & wonderful places, they chose Prague for their destination wedding as they both love this city of 100 spires with its cobblestone streets, incredible architecture and captivating history.

When Kaivel Ann contacted me about her wedding day, I was truly taken in by her warmth and her utter joy that she expressed in her original email to me. I was so taken in by her writing that when I met them I already felt I knew them both.  These two are both very visibly smitten with each other so having their wedding day captured exactly as they envisioned was quite important to them.

Their choice of wedding venue, the stunning Vrtba Garden and as they timed their wedding at the right time of year, the garden provided them with a luxuriant array of colors to add to the already unforgettable atmosphere. Reds, greens and yellows provided the main color scheme of their garden wedding and the mixture of Baroque architectural elements as well as the layout of the garden itself created a fairy tale atmosphere that is and always has been picture perfect.

To make it that much more special they brought their close friends and family members with them to share in the joy. There were quite a few tears shed as these two said their ‘I do’s’ and a very heart felt embrace during that wonderful moment under the Baroque paintings above them. What I especially enjoy was capturing the pure love that these two shared on that wonderful day and how much fun we had in showing them the sights. Though the rain did come, it did not put a dampener on these two and if anything added to the fun we all had.

Presented here is the very simple, yet elegant layout that we did of their beautiful wedding book, one that they are no doubt sharing with their family & friends.

To Kaivel Ann & Stan, thank you both for choosing me to capture this incredible time in your lives together. It was a true pleasure getting to know you and capturing these wonderful moments of that day in Prague.

Old Town Hall wedding Prague / O&N / wedding day

 

Old Town Hall wedding / O&N / Prague wedding photography

Old Town Hall wedding Prague / Olia & Nikolai (ISRAEL) / wedding day photography at Old Town Square, Prague Castle, Riverside and around the old town.

It must have been one of the hottest days of the year, so hot that not many people were out which was great for us to explore this wonderful city. Olia & Nikolai were game for everything – their only request was to have fun and visit a park or two as the greenery is something you don’t have back home in Israel.

The following is a small collection of images from their truly beautiful wedding day here in Prague.

To Olia & Nikolai, I wish you both much love, happiness and future prosperity in your new lives as husband and wife.

Castle Konopiste wedding / Oksana & Vladislav wedding day photography

Castle Konopiste wedding / Oksana & Vladislav wedding day photography

Castle Konopiste wedding / Oksana & Vladislav wedding day photography

Oksana & Vladislav chose the stunning Konopiste Castle for their destination wedding in Prague. Originally from Russia, they wanted a special wedding for their family & friends and this stunning castle in the Czech countryside did not disappoint.

The castle was built about 7 centuries ago in a French Gothic style and has a stunning collection of tapestries, furniture, hunting memorabilia and of course truly stunning details that set this castle apart from the many others. Konopiste also served as the last residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne. I was told that he bullet that killed him is actually held their in the collection. Konopiste has also served in several famous films such as The Illusionist and to be able to shoot inside in some of its storied halls and rooms are  a real treat.

After their wedding ceremony at the castle was over, we were given a private tour of the many stunning rooms and we were allowed to use a few of these rooms for a very quick portrait session. Obviously setting up lights and moving around furniture is a bit difficult so we kept it very simple under the incredible frescoes and chandeliers. Afterwards a few rounds of drinks and sweets with close family & friends on the castle grounds was in order before heading off to Prague.

Oksana & Vladislav were not too keen on the main tourists spots so we instead headed up to another magnificent castle: Prague Castle. I personally think for most couples that simply want to enjoy their first time together as husband and wife and without the large crowds this is always a wonderful idea. Oksana & Vladislav very much enjoyed the more laid back feeling and the calm atmosphere overlooking the bustling city below. After visiting many of the wonderful locations at the castle and the gardens we walked down and across to our last location of the day: the Astronomical Clock. For many couples having one last kiss under this historical clock is important and lets face it – it is also a great way to end our part of the portrait session as well.

All in all, a very peaceful, relaxed and truly beautiful summer day with one of our favorite couples from Russia: Oksana & Vladislav.

To Oksana & Vladislav, on behalf of myself and my team, we wish you much love, happiness and future success in your new lives together.

A special thanks to Cary for handling the lighting assistance and a big thank you to Konstantin  and his lovely wife of  http://www.wedding-cz.ru who did a wonderful job planning this wedding.

Prague St. Thomas Church: Julia+Sergio wedding day

{Prague Wedding Planners} Julia + Sergio stunning Prague wedding day!

‘My name is Julia.  I am planning to get married on 28th of June 2014. After browsing  your beautiful work on your website my fiancè and I would like to involve you as our photographer for our special day.’

Honestly, I was totally smitten when I met Julia & Sergio. They were so excited, so very much in love and full of life and joy –  you just knew that they were planning a truly special day for the union of their two families: families & friends from Italy, Russia, Switzerland and many others from around the world. They knew Prague, the locations and they knew exactly what they were looking for. My only concern: making sure that they had time to enjoy it.  Weddings can be so over choreographed that couples rarely have a few moments alone until it is time for bed.

But Julia & Sergio had the time, time to breath, relax, and take it all in after a beautiful wedding ceremony at St. Thomas and to reflect on the days events while overlooking one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. I doubt they will ever forget those special moments above Prague on that very special summer day in June.

It was a beautiful and wonderful in so many ways, I hope these images convey that.

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