Capturing the uniqueness of Prague

Step into the timeless romance of foggy Prague. A soft morning mist wove an ethereal backdrop for Jessica and Ronald’s foggy prague pre-wedding photoshoot. A captivating mist transformed their engagement session on the iconic Charles Bridge. Resulting in an otherworldly fine art series of portraits that left them breathless.

The fog-draped Charles Bridge set a magical stage. Its evocative statues silhouetted against the morning mist from the historic gas lamps. This made for breathtaking black-and-white portraits. Jessica and Ronald explored the historic cobblestones. The serendipitous haze turned their love story into a visual masterpiece. Each frame captured Prague’s soulful, rarely seen beauty. It blended candid moments with fine art elegance.

We captured their love story from early morning to golden hour. These select, ethereal black and white images stand as a unique memento. They showcase a misty morning as the city slept.

How to Plan Your Foggy Prague Photoshoot

Interested in having a portrait sssion like this? Knowing when to plan your foggy Prague photoshoot is crucial. Prague is most consistently foggy from November to February. December and January are peak months. This is due to high humidity, low temperatures, and the city’s valley geography. Though the weather can not be guaranteed – it is best to start your session very early in the morning during these winter months. Also keep in mind that the wind and humidity near the Charles Bridge can be brutally cold, however that has not stopped many couples from around the world trying to have a unique experience such as this.

One of the happiest, funniest, coolest and a damn fun couple: Rachael & Jacob’s Vrtba Garden Wedding in Prague! They were not exactly keen on the usual wedding photo and so they had their wedding in their own way. Lots of laughing, horsing around, messing with peoples heads and just having a damn good time…

Rachael & Jacob could have had the typical big wedding at home but decided it was their day, and they wanted to have it on their own terms and in their special way. No fuss, no stress, no overpriced wedding cakes and especially no debt. Just two people in love, in a city they adore on their own.

Their only requests: a visit to their favorite hot dog stand (on Wenceslas Square no less) and to make  it on time for their scheduled appointment at the tattoo parlor.  Other than that what follows is too very cool, fun people having a brilliant time on their wedding day here in Prague.
To Rachael & Jacob, I wish you both much love, happiness and success in your new lives together as husband and wife.

Prague wedding photographers / Prague Wedding Guide featuring us!

 

Prague-City-GuidePrague wedding photographers / Prague Wedding Guide featuring us!

It is always nice when I receive recognition for my work, especially as I do not enter contests anymore.  So, I was quite taken back when I was contacted by Stars.cz on behalf of the City of Prague when it came time for them to create their Prague Wedding Guide. The guide will be used internationally to market this incredibly beautiful city as a destination wedding location as well as given out to many establishments in Prague.

The wonderful people at Prague City Tourism and Stars.cz had viewed my website www.PragueWeddingPhotography.com and asked if I would allow them to use some of the images they had chosen. Unbeknownst to me, my work was featured the most in this publication, so it appears I am doing something right  😉

Presented here are the highlight pages including the covers of the international editions showcasing our wonderful couples who graciously allow me to share their sessions & weddings.

A big thank you to Pavlina and her wonderful group of designers and art directors at Stars.cz and of course to the city of Prague for selecting me to be a part of this truly wonderful project.

Also, a big shout out to the other photographers whose work was showcased in this wonderful publication.

Castle Konopiste wedding / Oksana & Vladislav wedding day photography

Castle Konopiste wedding / Oksana & Vladislav wedding day photography

Castle Konopiste wedding / Oksana & Vladislav wedding day photography

Oksana & Vladislav chose the stunning Konopiste Castle for their destination wedding in Prague. Originally from Russia, they wanted a special wedding for their family & friends and this stunning castle in the Czech countryside did not disappoint.

The castle was built about 7 centuries ago in a French Gothic style and has a stunning collection of tapestries, furniture, hunting memorabilia and of course truly stunning details that set this castle apart from the many others. Konopiste also served as the last residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne. I was told that he bullet that killed him is actually held their in the collection. Konopiste has also served in several famous films such as The Illusionist and to be able to shoot inside in some of its storied halls and rooms are  a real treat.

After their wedding ceremony at the castle was over, we were given a private tour of the many stunning rooms and we were allowed to use a few of these rooms for a very quick portrait session. Obviously setting up lights and moving around furniture is a bit difficult so we kept it very simple under the incredible frescoes and chandeliers. Afterwards a few rounds of drinks and sweets with close family & friends on the castle grounds was in order before heading off to Prague.

Oksana & Vladislav were not too keen on the main tourists spots so we instead headed up to another magnificent castle: Prague Castle. I personally think for most couples that simply want to enjoy their first time together as husband and wife and without the large crowds this is always a wonderful idea. Oksana & Vladislav very much enjoyed the more laid back feeling and the calm atmosphere overlooking the bustling city below. After visiting many of the wonderful locations at the castle and the gardens we walked down and across to our last location of the day: the Astronomical Clock. For many couples having one last kiss under this historical clock is important and lets face it – it is also a great way to end our part of the portrait session as well.

All in all, a very peaceful, relaxed and truly beautiful summer day with one of our favorite couples from Russia: Oksana & Vladislav.

To Oksana & Vladislav, on behalf of myself and my team, we wish you much love, happiness and future success in your new lives together.

A special thanks to Cary for handling the lighting assistance and a big thank you to Konstantin  and his lovely wife of  http://www.wedding-cz.ru who did a wonderful job planning this wedding.

A Rock n Roll Bridal Portrait Session with Martina

bridal portrait session Prague / Martina’s lifestyle portraits

Introducing the lovely Martina – a truly stunning Rock n Roll bride with a sense of style that is all her own. She is also a talented artist, professional tattooist and model.  Originally we were going to do an urban series but as we had one of those gloriously sunny autumn days in Prague where the light was truly gorgeous we decided to change our locations and capture a more simpler, natural, albeit different bridal session.

Portraits that are as much about the brides hip and cool demeanor and ones that capture her very cool attitude always go well with me, but most of my clients demand; Prague!  As Martina lives here that was not necessary.   Sadly our session was over almost as soon as it started as we only had about 2 hours for her session,  but that was ok. We, as my American colleagues would say, ‘killed it’ which means we had a highly successful session.

BTW for those who are wondering – these images and the flares that you see are all natural – no photoshop tricks…

Prague St. Thomas Church: Julia+Sergio wedding day

{Prague Wedding Planners} Julia + Sergio stunning Prague wedding day!

‘My name is Julia.  I am planning to get married on 28th of June 2014. After browsing  your beautiful work on your website my fiancè and I would like to involve you as our photographer for our special day.’

Honestly, I was totally smitten when I met Julia & Sergio. They were so excited, so very much in love and full of life and joy –  you just knew that they were planning a truly special day for the union of their two families: families & friends from Italy, Russia, Switzerland and many others from around the world. They knew Prague, the locations and they knew exactly what they were looking for. My only concern: making sure that they had time to enjoy it.  Weddings can be so over choreographed that couples rarely have a few moments alone until it is time for bed.

But Julia & Sergio had the time, time to breath, relax, and take it all in after a beautiful wedding ceremony at St. Thomas and to reflect on the days events while overlooking one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. I doubt they will ever forget those special moments above Prague on that very special summer day in June.

It was a beautiful and wonderful in so many ways, I hope these images convey that.

To Julia & Sergio, I wish you both much love, happiness and prosperity in your new lives together as husband and wife.
