Prague wedding & portrait photographer Est, 2008

an engagement session in Prague with A&P (USA)

Introducing our very cute & fun couple Andrey & Phillip who live in sunny Los Angeles. They are good friends with a couple whose engagement portrait session we captured a few years back at Prague Castle. As Andrey & Phillip were going to be in Prague for a few days they contacted us and inquired if we could create a session for them. Unlike our usual portrait sessions where we work with a crew of assistants, hair & makeup and at times a full video crew, they wanted a more toned down, simplistic approach: just the two of them and myself. I must admit, I very much enjoy these very simple ‘natural light sessions’ as couples are far more relaxed when they feel that no one is watching them or fussing about with their hair & makeup all the time. Plus the great thing about Andrey & Phillip, they know how to have a great time in front of the camera.

What follows is a wonderful morning of two people in love exploring the sites of a beautiful city.

I am often asked: do I ever tire of photographing the same locations in Prague? The truth is, it is not about the locations as it is about sharing & capturing couples who are experiencing this city for the first time. The bonus: capturing those beautiful, intimate moments shared between. That is what I enjoy best.

To Andrey & Phillip I hope that when you view these images (hanging on your walls, or presented in a beautiful designer book) you relive that special time here in Prague.

Prague Lifestyle Portrait Session / Amala & Emeka

Introducing one of our many gorgeous couples from this year: Amala & Emeka who hail from Nigeria.

They wanted a session that incorporated the best locations in Prague but without the hoards of tourists who over take this city daily and so a sunrise session was especially tailored for them.

Since they flew in from London the day before they had not had a chance to take in the sights yet and so we decided to start our session in front of one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague: the Praha Assurance building. This Art Nouveau masterpiece is one I highly recommend and visiting this building at dawn where the neon ‘Praha’ is lit is really a wonderful way to start off the day.

Led by our favorite hair & makeup artist Eliska who brought them down to where the crew was waiting, you can tell that this was a great starting point as Emeka & Amala were simply blown away by the atmosphere and the buildings beautiful & ornate facade.

Later we headed to the historic Charles Bridge and luckily there were not that many tourists. Seeing the sky change colors and the early morning light hit Prague Castle is truly a site to behold. The smile on Emeka’s face watching Amala take in the incredible atmosphere was worth the entire trip and she absolutely glowed standing there with a parasol in hand.

Our next location was the Old Town Square where luckily there were only a few stragglers left over from the previous nights partying. Without a doubt Old Town Square should truly be enjoyed at sunrise. Watching the sun break above the skyline of spires and especially when you walk hand in hand under Tyn Church with your partner in a nearly empty historic location as this is in a word – unforgettable.

But like all wonderful session they must come to an end and Emeka and Amala chose my personal favorite place – the Letna overlook for their final location. This truly is a stunning location as the city awakes and the sounds of trams, boats and many cars (too many actually) and pedestrians start their new day in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

After a few moments of soaking up the sunshine it was time to say our adieu’s and let Emeka & Amala explore this wonderful city on their own terms – hand in hand.

Kurt, first of all, let me thank you for the amazing pictures. Amala (thanks for the compliment by the way) and I are extremely excited… Once again thanks for giving us a wonderful gallery of pictures which we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.

A special thanks to my crew: Eliska (hair & makeup), Kari & Zu (lighting) – the best crew in Prague!

An engagement session with two gentlemen in Prague

Graham (left) and Wayne (right) are two incredible people who’ve faced their share of hardships. Graham, who lost a leg serving in Iraq, has been through a lot, but he’s unstoppable—always smiling, with a positivity that’s contagious. As someone who understands the challenges veterans face, I was especially excited to show them the beauty of Prague.

Graham had visited Prague before and fell in love with the city’s architecture and charm, so he knew it was the perfect place to celebrate with Wayne, his love and now husband. They traveled from San Francisco, bringing along their little dog, for this post-wedding portrait session—a heartfelt gift to Wayne.

On the day of their session, the city was bathed in a golden light, with spires glowing in the distance. We started at Petrin Hill, under the cherry blossoms—a spot made for romance. Then we wandered through Prague’s picturesque streets, ending at the iconic Charles Bridge at sunset.

It was truly a magical day, filled with laughter (and some very ‘kampy fun-filled moments’) and love.

Graham and Wayne, thank you for letting me capture these beautiful moments. Wishing you both endless love and happiness, and I can’t wait to welcome you back to Prague someday!
