K&C: pre sunrise portraits

Interested in seeing how couples experience a romantic pre sunrise portraits session in Prague?

Look no further than this sexy Indonesian couple who were passing through Prague during a whirlwind tour of Europe and decided ‘why not have a session?’

After meeting up over coffee and sharing many laughs, it was decided that a pre sunrise session near the river would be ideal. Truth be told, if you are wishing for a more atmospheric, beautiful and intimate and or a very stylish portrait session on or near the Charles Bridge, one devoid of the 100’s of people cluttering up your background – a pre dawn session is really the best time. Or very late at night.

On that particular November morning with Candra & Kartika we were really lucky in that we had a gorgeous palette of colours as the sun broke above the skyline. As you can see in their backgrounds the wonderful hues of blue, purples and violets. It was exactly what we were looking for and of course the lovely lady was the star attraction.

When you have a good lucking couple who are really enjoying the moment – capturing these kinds of portraits are never really a problem even if there are a few people in the background.

After the Charles Bridge the fog really came up obscuring many sites such as the Castle. From that point we took a quick visit to the Old Town Square for a few more editorial type images. And then it was time to say good bye as these very busy people continued on with their European vacation.

Presented here are their favorite images from that wonderful morning.

Thanks again to Candra & Kartika for selecting me as your photographer from the many 1000’s who are here in Prague!

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.

Cynthia & Matt: marriage proposal

Matt sold Cynthia on the idea of having a lifestyle session, but in reality it was to be a completely different kind of session: a surprise marriage proposal at the riverside in Prague.

Sometimes life throws you something totally unexpected. These two globetrotters met the previous summer on one of those hot, humid nights where the right music and the energy of the crowd was happening. They spied each other from afar, smiled and they knew that there was something very special unspoken between them. They walked up, met, shared lots of laughs, stories and enjoyed the evening where time simply stood still.

One of their fondest memories from that night was the two of them taking a long walk that night in to the early hours on the Charles Bridge as the twilight broke above them. It was an unforgettable chance encounter one that they could not shake.

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. It was her idea to have a small lifestyle photo session to capture some new memories.

In the early hours before the city awoke and before the city is overtaken in tourists, they did just that. Cynthia warned me that she was far more interested in the photos than he was (typical guy thing) but that was most likely a ploy as Matt had something he had been holding on to for quite some time. And just like fate – it all came together unsuspectingly and quite beautifully.

What follows here is a small photo story of that very special moment these two shared where they made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife.

A romantic marriage proposal at Prague Castle

Dillon’s friends knew that once he met Celeste it would be game over. They were so confident that when they were finally introduced at a party he was literally taken back. He was that smitten by her. She was also quite in to him as well. Fast forward a few years and it was time – after all she is the one. With the help of her father (yes, Dillon is the chivalrous type), a view master and an absolutely stunning diamond engagement ring (and yes, yours truly) an evening was planned that they would soon not forget. The only question he had: where should he propose? Truth be told I always say – go with your instincts. When it feels right – it will be right. As we made our way around the always impressive St. Vitus Cathedral Dillon knew. And just as the sun began to fade he brought out the view master and asked her to take a look – at the many moments they had shared together in the past. What follows is captured here adding to an already impressive collection of images and moments these two have shared.

{pre wedding photo Prague} our latest couple from Shanghai China R&F

Our latest couple Rebecca and Frank hail from Shanghai, decided to have a photo session in Prague after traveling around Europe. Unbeknownst to Rebecca, Frank also had a surprise engagement ring – and what followed was a wedding proposal that was live streamed to the world.

Rebecca & Frank also had a bit of a dilemma, they waited to nearly the last minute (they are very busy & successful people) and not only did they wish to have a European pre wedding but they also needed to have the entire session edited, retouched and files sent within two weeks. Of course when money is not an issue anything is possible. The other issue, Frank wanted to share his surprise marriage proposal to friends and family from around the world. What follows is a wonderful autumn morning (minus the sun…sometimes we have bad luck with the weather here), two outfits (that red dress is amazing) and a surprise that caught Rebecca totally off guard.

Photo shoot locations: Prague Castle, St. Vitus, Castle Steps, Charles Bridge, Nove Mesto, Old Town Square, Astronomical Clock, Mala Strana, Riverside and the finale at the Charles Bridge.

Special thanks to the team for doing a kick ass job (Linda, Cary & Dorota).
