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.

If you are in need of some sexy portraits of you and yours – check out our current offer on my website: www.KurtVinion.com and you can also find my current special offer in Czech as well.

Pereen & Jay secret marriage proposal & E-Session in Prague!

Looking for inspiration on a surprise marriage proposal in Prague? Look no further than Jay’s surprise marriage proposal to his girlfriend Pereen on one of those hot summer nights in Prague.

Jay really wanted to go out of his way in creating an unforgettable surprise marriage proposal for his beautiful girlfriend Pereen. As these two live apart Prague was chosen as their rendezvous and little did Pereen know that Jay was holding on to a stunning engagement ring.

The location: the Letna overlook which provides a magical view of the city down below. The setup: a card game was introduced that brought out many laughs and smiles before the big moment. The moment – captured here for all to see. The bonus: Mother Nature provided them with an incredibly beautiful sunset and a lightning storm that was ferocious in its intensity.

After capturing at the Letna overlook and a quick walk towards the castle we opted to head down to Malostrana to capture some moments but had to jump inside a pub to escape the pouring rain. A few moments later the skies cleared and it was time to capture these as they experienced an unforgettable summer evening in Prague.

Pictured here is a small sample of that incredible evening.

To Jay & Pereen, it was fantastic meeting you and your book looks wonderful. Congratulations again and on behalf of my team we wish you both all the very best in your new lives together as husband and wife.

Lauren & Gustav’s marriage proposal in Prague

The most beautiful wedding proposal on the Charles Bridge in Prague with Lauren & Gustav (USA)!

It truly was the most beautiful and romantic marriage proposal you will ever see on the Charles Bridge in Prague – in fact, it is a new standard.

Gustav (whose family traces their roots from here) sold Lauren on the idea of traveling to Prague for a vacation and while they were here to recreate a famous painting of a couple dancing atop the world famous Charles Bridge at night with several musicians.

With that in mind, the musicians (Viktorie & Pavel), the crew (lighting of course as you wish to have everything perfect – no cutting costs here) and of course the amazing location of the Charles Bridge at sunrise was organized on their behalf. The only thing we needed was perfect weather and luckily in the summer months that is never a problem.

They say that pictures are worth a 1000 words and with that in mind, I think we will simply let the following selection of their favorite images tell the story of that incredible summer morning in Prague.

On behalf of all of us here, we wish you much happiness, success and love in your new lives’ together as husband and wife. A special thanks to Linda Chudomelová for doing a great job on the hair & makeup and to Kari our kick ass intern who came to Prague for the summer and did an amazing job. Thanks again Kari!

Prague pre wedding photography Enzo & Ray lifestyle session

A Charles Bridge marriage proposal and a special pre wedding portrait session in Prague with Enzo & Ray who traveled over from Hong Kong!

Not only did Ray have a truly wonderful trip and a pre wedding portrait session planned for his beautiful girlfriend Enzo, but he wanted to make it official. So on a very special & romantic evening under a rare Super Moon, Ray got down on one knee and proposed to Enzo on top of one of the most romantic places in Europe: The Charles Bridge.

Enzo was clearly in shock and with tears running down her cheeks she smiled and quickly said yes. As a former magazine photographer who traded in social reporting for capturing these wonderful sessions where people are having fun and enjoying their lives together – it is evenings like this that make this work all the more special. There are really no words that I can express to sum up my feelings of being invited to capture this wonderful moment in two very special peoples lives.

The following is a small sample of images form their collection that they chose. Hair & Makeup by the wonderful and talented Jitka Novotna. Lighting assistance provided by Cary Hubbs.

Enzo & Ray, I wish you both much happiness, success and luck in your new lives together as husband and wife. I look forward to one day catching up again (perhaps in Hong Kong) and I am especially pleased to hear how happy you two are with the results.

Some reflections from Ray & Enzo:

We are honored and thanks to Kurt to be our pre-wedding photographer and our witness of our Proposal in Prague. Special thanks for the advices and suggestions for the places of shootings, especially for the place and moment of the Proposal, the photos reflected our true expression during Proposal. Kurt is very professional for the whole shooting process, including the rundown, places and gestures, since we are no experience for taking pre-wedding photos and no ideas for the places of Prague before that. We love the results very much and our family and friends are appreciated for that as well! Furthermore, the price charged was reasonable which is within our budget and much cheaper than the team we found in Hong Kong! We do not hesitate to share our experience and recommend Kurt to our friends.

Thanks again for bringing the unforgettable experience in our life!

Best Wishes, Enzo & Ray, 6 April 2015

Hluboka nad Vltavou Castle weddings / O&A / elopement wedding

Hluboka nad Vltavou Castle weddings / O&A / elopement wedding

Olga & Alexei traveled down from Russia – a country whose history and people I have always enjoyed, to have their elopement wedding in the Czech Republic.

They wanted something very simple with their wedding, no fanfare, no fuss, no worries, just the two of them at one of the most beautiful castles in Europe: Castle Hluboka nad Vlatavou. It was clearly one of those stunning fall days that we photographers absolutely crave: the beautiful autumn light, the colors of the foliage, and especially later the warmth of the late golden setting sun. To be honest, getting out of Prague and traveling to this magnificent castle is always quite special for me.

One thing I enjoyed about Olga & Alexei – how easy going they were. Capturing them experiencing this wonderful day was really fantastic and I doubt they will ever forget that wonderful day and especially the feelings they had. The only way we could have topped this session off was to have a final series of portraits of them captured in Prague – so after the drive back we did just that. And the last few hours was on me – as they deserved it.

To Olga & Alexei, I wish you both much love, happiness and prosperity in your life together as husband and wife.

Prague pre wedding / Winona & Erik / photography

Prague pre wedding / Winona & Erik / photography

Nothing like a romantic pre wedding portrait session in the cool winter months. Winona & Eric traveled over from Hong Kong to have their pre wedding portrait session with yours truly. We simply had a great time traveling around the city and taking in the many wonderful sites. Though we started late in the afternoon we concentrated on having a truly beautiful nite time portrait session. And as you can see Prague at night never disappoints. We did segue into a few indoor locations to warm up and to capture the atmosphere as well as the stunning architecture.

Though the weather was chilly Prague and especially my team did not disappoint. Thank you to Erik and Winona for choosing us here for your truly romantic pre wedding session.

On behalf of my team I wish you much love, happiness and future success in your new lives together as husband and wife.

Prague weddings: Polina & Josh wedding day photography!

An awesome couple deserves awesome wedding photography – especially when they come in from America & Russia…

Polina & Josh simply fell in love with Prague when they visited here during the cold winter months. So when it came time to have their dream destination wedding they could have gone anywhere in Europe, but instead chose Prague’s historic Old Town Hall on a glorious summer day. As Josh is a proud member of the US Navy it was my duty as a military ‘brat’ to create something truly special for them – after all my mother would not have allowed it any other way.

So after their wedding at the Old Town Hall and some family portraits we headed off for several hours to capture this stunning couple enjoying their wedding day amidst the historic cobblestone streets of Prague.

Naturally wherever they went they were the center of attention as Polina was simply the most beautiful bride in Prague and lots of people and aspiring wedding photographers were following us around taking snaps.

Later that nite Josh had one more surprise for his lovely bride as he stepped out in his Navy whites and then later swept her off her feet for a kiss under the twinkling stars atop Prague’s historic Charles Bridge. A dream ending to a dream day and who could ask for anything better than that!

To Polina & Josh, you guys rock! Being a part of your wedding day was simply brilliant and I hope the two of you and your wonderful families get a lifetime of enjoyment out of these new family heirlooms. I wish both of you much love, happiness and success in your new live’s together as husband & wife.
