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.

St. Thomas Church wedding / R&B Prague wedding photos

Prague wedding photographers / R&B wedding portraits at the Vltava St. Thomas Church wedding / Rachel & Brendan Prague wedding photos

When Rachel contacted me about her  wedding I was pretty excited. She is friends with one of my first clients from 2008 who also had an elopement wedding in Prague: Tara & Ethan.  Originally she was thinking of marrying in the Ukraine (a country I very much love ) and bringing me out for it, but it became a bit more complicated that they had time for. So they decided to elope here in Prague. Knowing that it was going to be just her and her fiancee Brendan I really wanted to create something truly special for them.

They had a very simple and beautiful ceremony at the Church of St. Thomas in the heart of Mala Strana. I always felt that this was one of the most beautiful churches in Prague and of course it was all the more special as pastor PhDr. P. William Faix is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

After their vows under the stunning murals of this incredible church, it was time to head out to enjoy the warmth of this enchanting city. As the weather was simply perfect we decided to enjoy a boat ride along the Vltava. Personally, if you have the time, this makes for a truly unforgettable excursion and Brenden was more than happy to row his stunning and beaming bride Rachel around as other boaters also took pictures and cozied up to them.

Afterwards, we took a wonderful stroll around the city simply capturing them enjoying their first day together as husband and wife. I must admit, Rachel & Brenden are two very sweet and incredibly nice people (Canadians of course!)  and being able to capture their wedding day in a truly relaxed and fun way was a real treat and joy.

To Rachel & Brenden, I wish both of you much happiness, success and love in your new lives together! And congratulations on the new addition to the family.

St. Nicholas Church wedding Prague / Sandy & Jimmy wedding photography

Castle Hluboka nad Vltavou pre wedding / Sandy & Jimmy / portraits

St. Nicholas Church wedding Prague  / Sandy & Jimmy wedding photography

What a great couple! Sandy & Jimmy traveled over from Hong Kong to marry in Prague. But before we were to photograph their wedding we spent part of our day at Castle Hluboka nad Vltavou. This is a truly stunning castle for a portrait session as well as simply exploring the beautiful grounds before sunset. Afterwards we headed to Prague for one last evening out fit – and to say that Sandy looked stunning in her dress is an understatement.

The next day it was time to marry at the beautiful St. Nicholas Church in the heart of Old Town Square. With family members and friends in attendance it was a beautiful ceremony as the organist performed during the wedding vows.

Afterwards it was simply time to relax, enjoy a coffee and a cake or two at a local cafe.

I always enjoy having fun with our couples and Sandy & Jimmy are simply wonderful.  They really enjoy their time together and watching them explore the grounds of the castle or simply showing them around Prague (and of course there are always other photographers who must stop and take a picture of them) was a blast. We just had fun…

So a great start to the New Year (of the horse) with a great couple and a truly beautiful love story of their time here in the Czech Republic. Congratulations again to Sandy & Jimmy! It was a real pleasure and honor to get to know you two as well as capturing these beautiful mementos of your time with us.

Wishing you much love, happiness and prosperity in your new lives together as husband and wife!
