A Magical Sunrise on Charles Bridge

Braving an early wake-up, Liz and Danny started their session at sunrise on Charles Bridge, where the golden morning light bathed the historic cobblestones in a warm glow. The serene, crowd-free setting allowed for intimate and authentic moments, capturing their love in one of Prague’s most iconic locations.

Exploring Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock

The photoshoot continued in Old Town Square, with its vibrant architecture and charming atmosphere, and at the Astronomical Clock, a symbol of Prague’s rich history. These locations added depth and variety to their photos, blending timeless romance with the city’s fairy-tale charm. Liz and Danny’s playful exploration resulted in fun, candid images that reflect their genuine connection.

L&T: marriage proposal

While ‘L’ was on her European vacation with her best friend, her boyfriend ‘T’ decided to secretly fly to Prague and surprise her with a marriage proposal. ‘T’ being the kind of guy that he is really wanted to make it very special. After several email exchanges of ideas, locations and logistics – we had a plan. With some fantastic local musicians, one of our favorite florists and of course a truly wonderful location (where the nights dinner was to also take place) the only thing we needed was to make sure everything went according to plan.

On one of those gorgeous summer days where the warmth of the sun lit everything in a golden pastel ‘L’ and her best friend were walking around Kampa when she received a very odd text message. It said to go down the small walkway that is behind the fountain and a big surprise awaits you. Curiously (and being encouraged by her friend) she walked down and found herself in front one of the most beautiful views of the Charles Bridge as a string quartet began playing one of her favorite songs. Next to the musicians was a vase containing a dozen red roses and underneath a placard with her initials. Placed underneath a beautiful love letter with her initials. As ‘L’ began to read, she immediately teared up, as she finished she began looking around and then ‘T’ popped out from behind the corner with a very big grin and immediately hugged her. After their heartfelt embrace, the music changed again to their song and he proceeded to drop to his knee and proposed. You really could not plan for a more special moment than that. I do hope the photos capture that late afternoon and the emotions these two expressed for each other.

Truth is – sometimes a little planning goes a long way in creating the most memorable and unique days in one’s lives. Congrats to these two and thanks for allowing us to share such a private and memorable moment.

Tina & Mike – Unforgettable Prague Engagement

A Prague love story engagement photo session with Tina & Mike. Two fantastic people exploring Prague with lots of laughter, fun, and dancing in their wonderful love story & engagement photos.

If you really wish to experience this incredible city in a relaxing calm way and without the massive tourists you should really consider getting up early to explore the medieval streets before the tourists invade. If you do, you will be greatly rewarded as there is no better way to experience the incredible atmosphere that Prague in the early morning hours can deliver.

Tina & Mike are one of our latest couples who did just that. They already had the crazy, all day & exhaustive 3 wedding dress pre-wedding photo shoot in Taiwan and decided that the next time they did this they would do it differently. They contacted me and after a few emails everything was arranged. On a cool recent morning after their hair & makeup prep – we met up, quickly hit it off and began our journey

Their idea was to keep it very relaxed, no posing (though they did appreciate being pointed to the best locations) and walking to some of the most wonderful locations and the results: authentic, captivating and lively colorful images that truly capture the fun and that special morning in Prague. The bonus, when the sun finally did make its appearance we created some of the most beautiful images and one of their favorites images (of them dancing under the Castle) was inspired by their favorite movie: La La Land.

The lovely Tina had this to say about her experience:

We had such a fun time in Prague, the highlight of our trip was our photoshoot with Kurt! We are so excited to see the photos once they are done 🙂

Please help us thank Kurt for his time, he made the whole experience so enjoyable and fun!
