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!

pre wedding Prague – R&A (USA) sunrise & sunset portraits

I love this session. I really do. Rose & Alpha are from the great state of New Jersey in the USA who were looking for a mixture of styles on their pre-wedding portrait session in Prague. Not too staged, not too romantic, never boring, just a simple, fun, spontaneous and yes, a mixture of incredible locations for their pre-wedding. They danced, they kissed, they laughed ( a lot) and they shared truly wonderful, unforgettable moments. Everything was perfect (well, except for that bit of rain, and ok, the cold morning air before the sun was supposed to come up, and well ok, the sunrise was a bit of a let down – in fact, it was gray for awhile – too long). Ok, so yeah, the weather was truly a drag, but these two are in love and a little rain is not going to ruin their session and from having a kick ass time.

As you can imagine every photographer in the world is traveling to the Prague and trying to capture this city in its most amazing light and well, sometimes it simply does not happen, but with a bit of flair and a kick ass lighting crew any situation can be made better and every couple will look amazing – even if the weather is not. Our crew came through, the light came through in the evening (sunrise & sunset sessions are the way to go) and Rose & Alpha were floored, happy, ecstatic and they will have a crazy fun slide show that incorporates their wonderful time in this incredible city.

Here is a small collection of the many, many images captured, lovingly enhanced, colored, retouched. Images that will be shared and cherished with family & friends. Thanks to the fantastic, fun and very cool Rose & Alpha for allowing us to share this beautiful, fun & fantastic pre-wedding session.

Lifestyle photo shoot Prague / T&M portrait photography

Lifestyle photo shoot Prague / T&M portrait photography

When you have two good looking Americans who travel over from Chicago to have an E-Session or a Lifestyle portrait session you know you are in for a good time. T&M wanted a more relaxed, yet artistic session and I was very happy to show them some of my favorite locations.

Truth be told, our weather was not great, but that was ok as it lends itself to a more soft dreamy pastel look – plus an old dusty tilt shift lens helps add to the overall look. The locations: the usual, visually stunning, atmospheric, historic and magical locations that make this city so unforgettable.

What I enjoyed about working with these two, how excited they were when I took them to places that they had not visited before and how easy going they were.

And from the lovely lady herself: The pictures look amazing! Makes me wish I was a fashion blogger so I could have more reasons to fly to Prague and do more sessions with you. Huge thanks to you and Zbynek!

The best part of being a professional photographer, knowing that the images created will be cherished and appreciated for generations. Thank you to T&M, I look forward to catching up with the two of you one day in the future.
