Sam & Andrew - United Kingdom
St. Thomas Church wedding, Prague
I just love them.
What I love most is that you have really captured the day and the way Andrew and I were feeling and this is priceless.
As a wedding photographer myself, it was always going to be a big ask for someone to capture our big day and get us to behave ourselves!
Not only did I admire Kurt's work enough to want him to be our man, he was even part of the reason we decided to get married in Prague.
The results are magical and we've had so so many people compliment us on such great wedding photographs.
I cannot recommend Kurt highly enough. He is an immense talent and an all round lovely guy.

a wonderful person who retired from wedding photography to become a doctor
We have a fairy tale marriage. We really do. Together Mike and I live this fantastic life where we are watching all of our dreams come true and unfold. Sometimes it doesn't even seem real. You took the perception of our dreams: our private, fantasy, magical love -- and you made a photographic representation that perhaps will show those we love a tiny fraction of the love we share. You are an artist, you are an 'image psychologist' - you see and find the best in everyone.
I've wanted my whole life to be able to see and capture people the way you do.

Thank you SO MUCH for capturing everything so beautifully.
You are simply an amazing talent.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS PRAGUE
As I am based in Prague I have photographed weddings at nearly every venue as well as many castles and chateaus located throughout the Czech Republic. From the large 250+ to the small, I am always humbled at these unbelievable weddings experiences. I can honestly say that the most unforgettable weddings are the ones where I can spend quality time with the couples and really capture them intimately and quietly - something that is not possible at a 250 + person event.
Even though I am quite happy photographing larger weddings - I am always very happy to stay at home in Prague and blow the minds of couples who want to have a truly beautiful collection of images without blowing their budgets.

How do you know if your wedding photographer in Prague is right for you?
As a bride & groom you should meet your photographer in person (and if that is not possible Skype is a wonderful alternative) to evaluate their professionalism, their ability to understand your needs, and more importantly - how well you connect and hit it off. As you will be spending one of the most important days of your life with your photographer feeling comfortable and connecting on a deeper level is of paramount importance in capturing your story.
Taking the time to read their client reviews, view complete galleries of their work (and not just the portfolio pieces) and if needed - hire them for an engagement session to understand how they work are also worthy ideas.
The truth is quality photography that will stand the test of time is an investment. If you chose Kurt Vinion as your wedding photographer, rest assured that I will provide the highest standard for you and about you!
The inside info on PRAGUE WEDDING PLANNERS
Are you considering Prague for your elopement or destination wedding? Unsure about which ones to contact? If you are in need of an honest, ethical wedding planner I would be happy to assist you in finding the perfect match based on your needs and vision for your wedding day. Some of the agencies are ideal at the higher end of luxurious weddings, while some are best for the smaller, more intimate experiences. And some are brilliant at having a fancy website with models and fake weddings (or styled shoots as the industry likes to call it).
As an American with over 12-years of industry experience here in Prague, I know which ones you can trust and which ones you should stay away from. More importantly, as I believe in honesty I would be happy to offer you my unvarnished experience as well as the opinions of my previous clients. There is no quid pro quo.
If you wish to chat feel free to contact me.
PS: for my lovely couples from Asia, I am represented by reputable agencies in: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai for pre weddings photography. If you have been told by a Prague based wedding planner that they represent me for pre weddings portrait sessions, that is not true.
