How do you know if your Prague Wedding Photographer is right for you?
As a bride & groom you should meet your photographer in person (and if that is not possible use a service such as Skype) to evaluate their ability to understand your needs, their professionalism and more importantly - how well you connect. 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!
Important information every bride should know when choosing a Prague wedding planner
Are you considering Prague for your elopement or destination wedding? Unsure about which wedding planners you can trust? If you are in need of an honest and reputable wedding planner - I would be happy to assist. As an American with over 12 - years of international industry experience, I know which agencies you can put your trust in and which ones to stay away from. There is no quid pro quo
Some agencies are brilliant at having a stylish website with models and fake weddings - or styled shoots as they love to call them but they fail to offer the type of services that western brides and grooms expect. While others may not have the flashy web presence - they offer more in an honest and more personalized approach that brides and grooms truly appreciate. The reality is - it is quite hard for brides from afar to chose the right one without having a second opinion.
If you wish to chat about your needs or concerns - please 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 & wedding photography. If you have been told by a Prague based wedding planner that they represent me for pre weddings portrait sessions, as of 2019 that is no longer true. If you have any concerns please contact me directly.
