My approach

Kurt Vinion is a Prague-based American photographer with over 20 years of international experience, formerly represented by Getty Images and a multiple award winner at the NPPA and Czech Press Photo.

With a background in documentary photojournalism, the focus is always on authentic moments rather than forced poses — real emotion, refined composition, and honest cinematic storytelling. Whether you arrive with a clear creative vision or simply trust the process, every session is guided through natural movement and quiet direction. No lengthy instructions. No awkward posing. Just your connection, beautifully documented.

Legendary Prague Proposals


From a woman in a striking red dress saying “yes” at dawn on Charles Bridge as musicians play, to dreamy snowy proposals high above Prague Castle — I specialise in creating cinematic, emotionally charged marriage proposals that feel straight out of a film.

Several of these images have been widely reproduced across international photography platforms and agencies — a quiet confirmation that certain moments, when captured with precision and feeling, truly become legendary.

Sherri & Ken (HK) Syon House

“My wife and I are indebted to Kurt and his team for our excellent photography experience in both Prague and London, they are without a doubt, true professionals in European wedding photography. We had two sessions with him, starting with a pre-wedding session in Prague, which he not only offered great advice on the locations but also took the effort in making us feel at ease after a 16-hour flight. We were so happy with the result that we decided to have him as our photographer again in our London wedding! 

My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend his team if you wish to have a most memorable wedding experience!”

Frequently asked questions about a couple’s photo session in Prague!

When is the best time to book a pre-wedding or sunrise session in Prague?

I recommend booking 4–8 months in advance, especially for sunrise sessions. Peak season (May–September) fills up quickly. Early booking allows us plenty of time to plan locations, outfits, and create a personalized mood board together.

Do you specialize in Asian or Korean-style pre-wedding photography?

Yes. I have extensive experience photographing Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian couples. Since 2008, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the cinematic, emotional, and K-drama-inspired aesthetic many Asian couples love. I also provide tailored styling and location advice.

How long does a typical pre-wedding or engagement session last?

Sessions range from 1 hour (quick iconic location shoots) to full-day experiences. Most couples choose 3 to 6 hours, which gives us time to visit multiple locations and capture a good variety of moods and lighting.

What should we wear for our Prague session?

I provide personalized outfit guidance based on your style, skin tone, and chosen locations. Soft, flowing fabrics in neutral and earthy tones (blush, champagne, sage, terracotta, cream) work beautifully in Prague’s light. I can create a custom mood board once your date is confirmed.

Are sunrise sessions worth waking up early?

Yes — almost every couple says their sunrise session was their favorite part of the trip. The light is soft and flattering, the city is beautifully quiet, and we have iconic locations (Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, etc.) almost entirely to ourselves.

How much does a pre-wedding or engagement session cost?

Pricing is custom and depends on session length, number of locations, and your specific needs. I create personalized packages for every couple. Contact me with your dates and vision, and I’ll send a detailed proposal.

Can we bring our own makeup artist or stylist?

Absolutely.  I’m happy to coordinate with them and can also recommend excellent local professionals who have the experience needed to ensure you look and feel your best.

How soon after the session will we receive the photos?

You’ll receive a few sneak peeks within 1–2 days. Full gallery delivery time depends on the package but is usually completed within 3–6 weeks.

Do you photograph destination weddings and elopements?

Yes. In addition to pre-wedding and engagement sessions, I photograph a limited number of destination weddings and elopements across Europe each year (Prague, Venice, Santorini, Vienna, etc.).
