Wendy & Jack: Chasing The Golden Light In Prague Pre-Wedding

When planning your pre-wedding photoshoot in Prague, it’s essential to consider what style suits you best—posed and directed images, or a more natural and authentic feel that highlights your personalities. Timing also matters: a daytime, nighttime, or a combination of both can create diverse, breathtaking visuals. For one stylish couple from Taiwan, the goal was clear—they wanted everything, from iconic Prague locations without tourists to the incredible golden-hour light.

Starting pre-dawn on the iconic Charles Bridge, we embraced the magical golden hour and created a mix of fun, stylish portraits and natural moments. With some guidance to enhance their looks and outfits, we chased the early morning sun through beautiful spots like the Royal Garden, resulting in timeless, romantic images.

To Wendy and Jack—thank you for choosing us to capture your love story. We wish you both a future filled with happiness!

Snow & Hein: lifestyle

Our latest couple Snow & Hein from Myanmar who chose Prague for a small, lifestyle session. Currently residing in the US where they are finishing up their university studies, Snow & Hein were in Prague for a few days and decided that the gorgeous city was picture perfect for a small engagement session.

They had already visited the many tourist heavy sites and asked if I knew of a location that would be less crowded. My first thought was of course Ledebour garden – it is in reality one of the most beautiful locations in Prague to be photographed in. Of course there is that Commercial Photography admittance fee, but the reality is – Ledeburska is a peaceful oasis of calm overlooking the city and is gorgeous.

So on one very sunny & hot summer day we did just that, we traveled up and around and explored the many hidden gems this garden has to offer. And the result – as they said themselves GORGEOUS!

Presented here is a small sampling of two people in love exploring a unique cultural landmark in one of the most gorgeous cities in the world: Prague!

Charles Bridge surprise marriage proposal

C+M lifestyle photo session that became a surprise marriage proposal near the Charles Bridge.

Sometimes life throws you something totally unexpected and you just have to rise to the occasion. These two globetrotters met the previous summer on one of those hot, humid nights where the right music and crowd was happening. They spied each other, smiled and they knew that there was something very special unspoken between them. They met, shared lots of laughs, stories and enjoyed the evening where time simply stood still and ended up taking a long walk that night in the early hours on the Charles Bridge. As they live on different continents it was one of those affairs where they really became close even though they were so far apart physically. And then a year (and a few months later) they decided to meet up and celebrate where they first met – here in Prague. Her idea was to have a small intimate lifestyle session in the early hours before the city awoke. She was far more interested in the photos than he was (typical guy thing) but that was most likely a ploy as he had something he had been holding on to for quite some time.

On a surprisingly chilly fall morning, we met up under the Powder Tower on the Charles Bridge for a very intimate lifestyle photo session. As expected, they had a great time. After some time we headed to the riverside as it was still quite early and then as they were taking it all in – he quickly dropped to his knee with his hand held out and her smile was all you needed to know.

It was that fantastic, totally unexpected and it was beautiful.

I asked if they wanted to see something quite special and then I took them up to my favorite place – above the city. The sun came out at just the right time to provide us all with some much needed warmth and as it was that nice, they decided to take one of those long unforgettable walks – just like that first night in Prague.
