The wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions and events, each moment precious and fleeting. Here’s a look at the typical Prague wedding itinerary and how we capture every nuance from the calm before the storm to the joyous celebration that follows:
Morning Preparations (7:00 AM - 11:00 AM): The day begins with the quiet anticipation of morning preparations. We start early, capturing the serene moments of you getting ready - from the first sip of coffee to the meticulous application of makeup. These early hours are filled with laughter, tears, and the excitement of friends and family. We’ll document the details: the dress hanging up, the boutonniere being pinned, and the first glimpse of the bride or groom in their wedding attire. Of course we do not have to be there when you wake up, usually two hours before you are slated to put on the dress is ideal as it allows us time to capture all of those wonderful moments while we work quicly to capture the details.
First Look (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM): If you’ve opted for a first look, this is when magic happens. We'll capture those private, heartfelt moments away from the crowd, or if traditional, we'll photograph the final touches before the ceremony. These moments are intimate and emotionally charged, setting the tone for the day.
Ceremony (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM) The ceremony marks the heart of the day. Whether it's an outdoor setting with Prague's skyline or a historic venue, we ensure every vow, every look, and every tear is photographed. From the walk down the aisle to the exchange of rings, we focus on both the broad strokes and the delicate details.
Post-Ceremony Photos (2:00 PM - 3:30 PM): After the "I dos", we capture the family portraits and couple shots. It is advisable to have a list of who you want in your groups starting form the biggest to the smallets. After the family and groups we will take leave of the guests to visit the best spots in Prague for those iconic photos, ensuring you have the time to enjoy your surroundings while we work our magic.
Cocktail Hour (3:30 PM - 5:00 PM): As guests mingle, we continue to capture candid moments, the laughter, and the clinking of glasses. This relaxed period allows us to photograph the love and joy shared among your loved ones without the formalities of posed shots.
Reception (5:00 PM - 10:00 PM): The reception is where the party truly begins. From the grand entrance to the first dance, speeches, and cake cutting, we're there to document it all. We capture the essence of your celebration, from the decor to the dance floor, ensuring your story is told in both grand moments and small, spontaneous interactions.
After-Party (10:00 PM - Late): For those who choose to extend the celebration, the after-party is where legends are created (and some photos that are never released publicly). We’ll stay as long as needed, capturing the last dance, the final toasts, and those unforgettable moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours.
Understanding this timeline not only helps in planning but also in appreciating how each part of your day contributes to your wedding narrative. With Kurt Vinion, every moment from prep to the after-party is documented, ensuring you can relive your day through images that capture the essence of your love story in the enchanting setting of Prague.
