Magnificent historic paintings above the ballroom at Chateau Liblice create an elegant, timeless ambiance for Anne and Lawrence’s wedding evening.
From the distant corners of Israel and the United Kingdom, Anne and Lawrence chose the beautifully restored Baroque masterpiece Chateau Liblice, just outside Prague, as the stage for their dream destination wedding. Every elegant hall and the sweeping grounds of this timeless castle hummed with romance, transforming their celebration into a living fairytale. As laughter filled the grand spaces, heartfelt toasts echoed, and joyful dancing swept them into a warm summer night, the day unfolded with effortless grace and boundless love.
Yet, the true enchantment came during the golden hour, when the expansive grounds were bathed in warm, glowing light that felt like pure magic. After the bouquet toss, the couple slipped away to the serene man-made lake in the garden, the castle towering majestically behind them, creating portraits destined to be cherished forever. As the day drew to a close, they captured final tender moments in the bridal suite—soft light wrapping around stolen glances—the perfect, radiant ending to a love story that shimmered from dawn until midnight.

Photographers Insight: Why Real Moments Matter More Than Posed
Some couples want a spectacle: confetti cannons, fireworks, ice sculptures. Others want real emotion and real moments. I never tire of hearing from couples who say, “We trust your vision to capture what you feel is important.” They usually add, “We don’t know how to pose. Can you make sure we look great?”
That’s fine. My goal is to photograph everything meaningful about your wedding day, from the rings to the quiet moments between family and friends, often when they don’t know I’m watching. For portraits, I keep things natural and honest. That sometimes means a little guidance, so you’re in good light and at ease.
Anne and Lawrence’s wedding at Chateau Liblice was that kind of day. In the early evening, after a long stretch of dancing, they needed a break. I asked if they’d like a walk and some fresh air, and they said yes. I led them to a maple tree where the low sun rim-lit them, then stepped back and shot from a distance with a long lens. Left alone, Anne grabbed Lawrence by his shirt as they pulled each other into a quiet embrace. That is the method in miniature: find the right light, then give the couple privacy so the moment stays theirs. It’s what a photojournalist’s training brings to a wedding.
If this is the kind of photography you want, get in touch and tell me about yourselves, and why here and now.
