Daisy & Louis – Venice Honeymoon

Experienced the magical atmosphere of Venice as the night time turns towards day with our wonderful newlyweds from Hong Kong.

A little background about Daisy & Louis

These two wanted to have the very best wedding experience that Prague has to offer and so they chose a twilight hour start at Prague Castle for their photo shoot. As the sky began to lighten we headed down to watch the sunrise atop the historic Charles Bridge.

It was not just a pre wedding photo session that morning but it was also their wedding day. At lunchtime neared, we escorted them to the Old Town Hall where we documented these two as they married. Like many adventurous couples they wanted more from this once in a lifetime experience. After a needed break we began their sunset & night time photo session.

That evening as we were saying our goodbyes they were still glowing. Though it was a long day they absolutely loved their experience. With a twinkle in her eye Daisy offered to continue. After a few looks at the back of the camera and lots of hugging – we said our goodbyes.

Venice and a very special Honeymoon

Two days later they rang me from their Honeymoon in Venice and asked: would we consider flying down to Venice for another session? I was not only surprised but quite humbled. They could have chosen any photographer from Venice and it would be a lot easier for them too. Before I answered, I had a request of my own: can we start it before sunrise? Not only were they game but they later confided that was exactly what they were wishing.

The day of – in Venice, Italy

A few days later we were standing in a deserted and very peaceful St Mark’s piazza hugging, smiling, laughing and enjoying the quiet landscape that we had all to ourselves. This session would be all about them: exploring, cuddling, laughing and just enjoying the moment as the light changed from twilight to daytime and then some.

Kathy & Joshua – Creative & Art Directed Prague Pre-Wedding

A wonderful couple who chose to experience the magical night time romance of Prague for their pre wedding portrait session.

For many couples from Asia, Prague is a gem that has rarely been explored. Most couples know about Paris, London and who can forget those wonderful locations closer to home in Asia. But Prague has been quietly winning over many couples who explore here. With increcible architecture, beautiful gardens and for those adventurous couples who brave the early wake up call – the magical night time romance of its gas lamp lit cobblestone streets always leaves a favorable impression.

For our latest couple, the very sweet and warm Kathy & Joshua – Prague was an experience they will never forget. The bonus: they were able to have pictures (real film) taken during their own portrait session with their antique cameras.

The day of…

We began their session at the riverside in hopes of having a dramatic sunrise. Though it was not as expected, it was still a wonderful experience as they were able to see first hand a romantic sunrise over the historic skyline of the Charles Bridge. They were all smiles as the sun quickly warmed up their bodies and gave them the neccessary energy to explore.

We did stop along the way for several wonderful locations that were picture perfect before heading to the Old Town Square where the historic Astronomical Clock is located. Kathy & Joshua were quite keen on having many images captured here as the medieval clock is such a unique icon of Prague. From here we explored the Old Town square before walking back towards Mala strana. One of their requested locations was a secluded spot over the city – which I always enjoy taking couples to. It is a rare respite from walking around as you can simply sit and enjoy the scenery down below.

Our last location The Vrtba Garden was where they changed in to a second outfit and brought out some vintage cameras. As these two are camera buffs I wanted to incorporate that aspect of their personalities.

Just as quickly as our day started it came to an end. But everyone was all smiles as we headed out from the garden.

Presented here is a wonderful morning these two will be able to relive over and over again thanks to these beautiful moments.

For adventurous couples who desire something truy magical we always recommend getting up early and having a pre wedding before dawn.

Penar & Cem – Sunrise Wedding Pictures From Prague!

For these two busy doctors who live in Istanbul, traveling to Prague to marry was a dream come true.

When they contacted me about their wedding at the Turkish Embassy they were a bit concerned: there were so many tourists in Prague – in fact too many for their comfort. When I asked them about their timeline they explained that their lunchtime wedding was really at the worst time. What they really wanted was to experience the romance of this city and feel like it was an intimate, personalized experience. I proposed a sunrise wedding day portrait and they immediately said yes!

Pictured here is that wonderful morning where everything came together beautifully. Where two people were able to connect to each other and to a very special place that will forever be a part of their lives.

Congrats Penar & Cem!

K&C: pre sunrise portraits

Interested in seeing how couples experience a romantic pre sunrise portraits session in Prague?

Look no further than this sexy Indonesian couple who were passing through Prague during a whirlwind tour of Europe and decided ‘why not have a session?’

After meeting up over coffee and sharing many laughs, it was decided that a pre sunrise session near the river would be ideal. Truth be told, if you are wishing for a more atmospheric, beautiful and intimate and or a very stylish portrait session on or near the Charles Bridge, one devoid of the 100’s of people cluttering up your background – a pre dawn session is really the best time. Or very late at night.

On that particular November morning with Candra & Kartika we were really lucky in that we had a gorgeous palette of colours as the sun broke above the skyline. As you can see in their backgrounds the wonderful hues of blue, purples and violets. It was exactly what we were looking for and of course the lovely lady was the star attraction.

When you have a good lucking couple who are really enjoying the moment – capturing these kinds of portraits are never really a problem even if there are a few people in the background.

After the Charles Bridge the fog really came up obscuring many sites such as the Castle. From that point we took a quick visit to the Old Town Square for a few more editorial type images. And then it was time to say good bye as these very busy people continued on with their European vacation.

Presented here are their favorite images from that wonderful morning.

Thanks again to Candra & Kartika for selecting me as your photographer from the many 1000’s who are here in Prague!
