Marketa & Jiri – love story session

Looking to have a beautiful love story session? Interested in experiencing the uniqueness of the historic Charles Bridge at sunrise? Or are you in need of some gorgeous photos of you and your partner? Photos that show that despite it all – life is good!

Introducing our latest very sexy couple: Marketa & Jiri. As they are Czech’s they know Prague and they know the locations. They were also looking for something a bit more stylish to suit their sophisticated taste.

These two have been together for awhile and as such they wanted to have some professional images that beautifully capture them. These Love Story Sessions are perfect in that these sessions are designed entirely with each couple ideas in mind.

Marketa & Jiri’s chosen locations: the romantic Charles Bridge at sunrise (actually a bit before). Plus the Strelecky Island before finishing up at the Rudolfinum. Their style: a mixture of the elegantly posed to the more informal where real moments are what it is all about. Seeing that these two were having such a great time the last thing I wanted to do was to spoil the moment they were experiencing by posing them.

The resuslts: I think their smiles say it all.

Grace & Lance: Prague Sunrise

Grace & Lance could have married anywhere but opted for the beautiful, medieval city of Prague for their elopement. Their wedding planner arranged for their wedding to take place before lunchtime (a truly odd time). When I found out about their timeline I asked them if they would consider getting up very early to experience something couples rarely have the privilege of having: a romantic nighttime/sunrise wedding portrait session. Seeing their smiles was all I needed to know that this couple was really going for something truly unique and special. The preceding photos capture in pictures what they felt – far more than my writing. As such I will leave it there.

Prague has become very popular with tourists and with so many tourists out and about it just does not feel intimate any longer. It used to be that on one’s wedding day you could take leave of your guests and enjoy a few intimate moments alone on or near the Charles Bridge or especially near the riverside. Those locations are quite prized for couples wishing to capture some unique portraits on their wedding day. Yet with so many tourists out and about, capturing those special moments has become increasingly more difficult. For those adventurous couples who are willing to get up quite early, the rewards of having these incredible locations nearly all to yourselves are simply priceless.

MingSi &Nicholas Prague pre-wedding

So what does one do when it rains on the day of? Normally we would postpone, but as this was MingSi and Nicholas’s only chance for their Prague pre-wedding we went ahead. Though it was pouring down rain when we started, we were lucky enough to see it stop about an hour later and when it did – we were gifted with beautiful weather and an unforgettable pre-wedding experience.

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!

Zoe & Billy: pre dawn session

Looking for inspiration for your pre dawn pre wedding session in Prague? Look no further than our latest couple: introducing Zoe & Billy.

These two who had an unforgettable pre dawn session here in Prague. They are not only gorgeous, they are also a really sweet and fun couple. They wanted their pre wedding to capture aspects about their fun-filled personalities in addition to those very stylish must have ‘posed’ portraits.

The best way to have a session in Prague is to start early, before the sunrise if you wish to capture those beautiful & romantic night time portraits. These are the types of images you regularly see in the cinema.

As we had most of our locations all to ourselves, Zoe & Billy were able to really relax and soak up the atmosphere as they explored, laughed and hugged each other.

Our session started under the Charles Bridge under the gas lamps that evoke a bygone & historic era. After capturing some posed and natural style images it was time to change it up a bit.

It was fitting that as the sun started to break above the historic skyline these two picked a spot overlooking the Charles Bridge to watch as mother nature provided us with a stunning array of hues: everything from reddish pink to purple and blues. It was unforgettable.

After a few moments it was time to head up to the Charles Bridge where a crowd of people were already amassing with their tripods and cameras – and a few other couples too.

What follows on that beautiful day is simply this: two people very much in love exploring, laughing and enjoying one of the most beautiful days of their lives: their pre wedding in Prague.

And how did they enjoy it?

Kurt and his team are wonderful! =DDD

My husband and I had a post wedding shooting in Prague for the pre-sunrise and sunrise till noon session in Oct which is the best time of the year with the golden yellow leaves.

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!
