Eriko and Kentaro, a stylish couple from Japan, sought an unforgettable pre-wedding session as part of their European vacation and wedding in Prague. Inspired by a wedding photo from Lake Eibsee, they traveled to Germany despite the boats being removed for the season. Surrounded by the stunning Bavarian landscape, Eriko wore a designer floral dress, and Kentaro looked dapper in his suit. As they strolled through the woods, they were serenaded by an Alpine horn player, creating a magical moment captured in timeless photos at Lake Eibsee.

To be honest, this is such an incredible portrait session and in so many ways: the splendor of Prague during the most beautiful parts of the day, a reportage / posed / natural style portrait session taking in many locations and of course the lovely Catherine and her husband Cedric.Son who are great fun to be around.
As they are both very busy and successful business people, they really did not have the time to travel to Europe and have a proper ‘pre wedding portrait session’ prior to their wedding. So on a wonderful day last autumn we met them at the Charles Bridge for their sunrise & sunset post wedding portrait session in Prague.
The following is a small sample of the collection of images we created on that unforgettable day. A big thank you to Eliska for providing the beautiful hair & makeup, the lighting and production crew: Cary, Kari (our fabulous intern from Seattle) and Zu.

as a photographer if you cannot create a relaxed and easy going atmosphere you will never be able to create images like this

Introducing our latest couple T+P who traveled over from Hong Kong to have their beautiful summertime pre wedding portrait session here in Prague with yours truly.
Like many couples from Hong Kong, T+P wanted a more laid back session without the many tourists. The wonderful thing about their pre wedding session, less staged and more natural images. Which means a very leisurely pace amongst some of my favorite locations here in Prague.
As many of our Hong Kong couples are looking for a more earthy, organic feel – Prague with its many gardens makes for a relaxed atmosphere overlooking the stunning city down below. Of course you can still have the many iconic shots: the Astronomical Clock, the Charles Bridge, but the truly stunning architectural shots that define this city is what makes it so truly special.
So with our itinerary worked out well in advance, we simply wandered on a warm summer day capturing two people in love exploring one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
The following is a small sampling of beautiful pre wedding portraits from T+P session here in Prague.
To T+P, we wish you both much love, happiness and success.

C&L (Macau) summer pre-wedding engagement in Prague
C&L (Macau) summer Engagement session in Prague: without a doubt Prague is simply one of the most stunning locations for a pre wedding portrait session in Europe. You have the wonderful architecture, those amazing gardens and of course you have beautiful weather – especially in the summertime. Cecilia & Leong our latest and very stylish couple who traveled over from Macau wanted to simply soak up the atmosphere, the history the locations and just have a good time – not too many staged or posed images, just simply take in the city and especially enjoy the sites. Of course when you have two good looking and stylish people and this city – well, life isn’t too difficult to make them look great.
So with our small crew we did just that, we took in one of the most beautiful cities in the world on a warm, sunny summer day – in Prague. Presented here is a small sampling of beautiful, stylish images from their collection and their time spent here with us.

these two are too cute. All they were looking for was to enjoy the sunrise on the Charles Bridge and a few more locations. Nothing too staged, just a fun pre wedding portrait session in Prague during the summer months.
Starting very early in the am we had the Charles Bridge nearly entirely to ourselves when Sarah & Patrick arrived after their hair & makeup prep. When the clouds began to break and the first early light starting coming through the bridge quickly filled up with tourists – but not before we captured them enjoying what can only be described as a beautiful summer morning in Prague. Not that the Charles Bridge is the only place to enjoy the sunrise, we also headed to a few other locations that everyone who visits this city insists on and we had a great time doing it as well. Seeing that they are from Boston you know we had to come up with something special for them. So presented below is a few of their favorite images from that wonderful morning in Prague.
To Sarah & Patrick it was fun and I am very pleased that you two enjoyed the results. On behalf of all of us here, we like to wish you much love, happiness and success in your future together.
A big thanks to the crew: Kari, Zu and Eliska Matejkova (Hair & Makeup)

A fun couple who chose many of Prague’s favorite locations for their pre wedding portrait session. Though the weather was quite grey & gloomy and threatening to rain during our session, that did not stop Dudu & Leo (and their two friends) from having a great time exploring many of the popular locations for pre wedding portraits.
Though our session was supposedly a daylight session only, we ran a bit behind due to a hair & makeup change and ended up catching some truly beautiful portraits of them at the Old Town Square after sunset. My personal favorites in addition to the stunning vintage inspired portraits of them at the riverside: the horse and buggy that was parked behind them that added an old world ambience to their portraits. To be honest, there is nothing special like having beautiful memories captured at the Old Town Square on a quiet summer evening.
To Dudu & Leo, congratulations! I wish you both much love, happiness and prosperity in your new lives together as husband and wife.
PS: and from our happy couple:
Dear Kurt, It’s a wonderful experience to have you as our photographer. I think if any friends of mine would ask me for pre-wedding/ wedding photographer in Prague, I would have no hesitation to introduce you to them.

Prague pre wedding photo: Schnee & Mr. Chen photos
A winter pre wedding session in Prague, sadly with no snow, but with a charming Christmas market. The lovely Schnee (Ja, ich weiß – Schnee) and the lovable Mr. Chen had a beautiful portrait session here in Prague.
I will be the first to admit, we were really hoping for snow (as the route would have been stunning if we had it) and instead had one of the windiest days of the year. But no worries as we had a truly spectacular sunset that people can only dream of capturing in such a way. BTW, I know that it is fashionable to be a ‘natural light shooter’, but the truth is, when you have a sunset like this you cannot capture the beauty; the saturation, the colors and the depth without the use of lighting gear (flash). So for my ‘natural light’ colleagues who always say give up the flash and shoot like everyone else – bite me 😉
Truth is, Schnee and Mr. Chen really made this an unforgettable session as we had a great time exploring this beautiful city. Plus who can forget the crazy wind blowing everything including nearly us and especially my gear into the Vltava river? But it was worth it and the pictures hopefully speak for themselves.
To Schnee and Mr. Chen, we really should do this again and in the warm summer months and perhaps in Switzerland? On behalf of the team (Martina, Zbynek, Jitka and myself, we wish you much love, happiness and future prosperity in your new lives together as husband and wife.
