Prague Post Wedding Portraits 001

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.

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 Lifestyle Portrait Session / Amala & Emeka

Prague Lifestyle Portrait Session / Amala & Emeka

Introducing one of our many gorgeous couples from this year: Amala & Emeka who hail from Nigeria.

They wanted a session that incorporated the best locations in Prague but without the hoards of tourists who over take this city daily and so a sunrise session was especially tailored for them.

Since they flew in from London the day before they had not had a chance to take in the sights yet and so we decided to start our session in front of one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague: the Praha Assurance building. This Art Nouveau masterpiece is one I highly recommend and visiting this building at dawn where the neon ‘Praha’ is lit is really a wonderful way to start off the day.

Led by our favorite hair & makeup artist Eliska who brought them down to where the crew was waiting, you can tell that this was a great starting point as Emeka & Amala were simply blown away by the atmosphere and the buildings beautiful & ornate facade.

Later we headed to the historic Charles Bridge and luckily there were not that many tourists. Seeing the sky change colors and the early morning light hit Prague Castle is truly a site to behold. The smile on Emeka’s face watching Amala take in the incredible atmosphere was worth the entire trip and she absolutely glowed standing there with a parasol in hand.

Our next location was the Old Town Square where luckily there were only a few stragglers left over from the previous nights partying. Without a doubt Old Town Square should truly be enjoyed at sunrise. Watching the sun break above the skyline of spires and especially when you walk hand in hand under Tyn Church with your partner in a nearly empty historic location as this is in a word – unforgettable.

But like all wonderful session they must come to an end and Emeka and Amala chose my personal favorite place – the Letna overlook for their final location. This truly is a stunning location as the city awakes and the sounds of trams, boats and many cars (too many actually) and pedestrians start their new day in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

After a few moments of soaking up the sunshine it was time to say our adieu’s and let Emeka & Amala explore this wonderful city on their own terms – hand in hand.

Kurt, first of all, let me thank you for the amazing pictures. Amala (thanks for the compliment by the way) and I are extremely excited… Once again thanks for giving us a wonderful gallery of pictures which we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.

A special thanks to my crew: Eliska (hair & makeup), Kari & Zu (lighting) – the best crew in Prague!

Prague pre wedding / Yannes & Roy portrait session

Prague pre wedding / Yannes & Roy portrait session

We love working with super friendly people who are in love, getting married and who fit perfectly with our style and vision. Our new friends Yannes & Roy traveled over from Hong Kong to have a beautiful pre wedding portrait session with us. They were wonderful, brilliant, fun and easy going – just like us. Their only real concern, making sure there were not too many people in their images and they wanted a more natural look – which we also very much enjoy.

After meeting up, a course was outlined that took in the more green and quieter parts of the city such as the Castle Gardens, The Bellview palace, the Orangerie, a wonderful boat ride along the Vltava and of course the usual sites of Prague Castle and the Charles Bridge. As you can see it was a very laid back and fun session. Later after a quick hair & makeup change provided by Jitka Novotna it was time to head out once again to capture Yannes & Roy enjoying the Charles Bridge (where they made a wish that we believe will come true) and then their last stop at the stunning Astronomical Clock for a romantic kiss underneath.

A picture perfect day for a terrific couple. Thank you again Yannes & Roy and we hope to see you in Hong Kong very soon!
