Spring time in Prague is beautiful. The historic locations, combined with the blossoming flowers is a sight to behold. Though there are many places one can experience, one of the more popular is Petrin Hill.

Perhaps it is because at night one can see the illuminated ‘little Eiffel Tower’ over looking the city down below, or the observatory where one can gaze at the stars on a clear nite. And who can forget the funicular that slowly brings people up the hill? Maybe it is the stunning views from the many paths that criss cross this park and the scent of the rose gardens that draws us? For me, it is simply because it is an oasis of calm.

Coming from Hong Kong, Shirley & Green were keen on some more natural locations with their Prague pre wedding portrait session. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that for many of our world travelers the architecture and the many iconic locations that define this city are ‘must haves’, but sometimes it is nice to embrace the simple beauty of nature and especially in a park overlooking a remarkable skyline below.

In addition to its beauty, Petrin also has a tradition that every couple must abide if they are here on May 1st. In Prague they say that if you kiss your girl under the Cherry Blossom tree ‘she will always be beautiful.’ Another saying, ‘love confirmed with a kiss under the Cherry Blossom tree will last forever’.

Presented here are some of Shirley & Green’s favorite images from that day.

Dear Kurt, The photos are absolutely FABULOUS!! We like them very much. Especially Petrin Cherry Blossoms, Charles Bridge and Obecni Dum. Thank you for your hard work.

Prague Castle Portrait session / Sherry & Ken pre wedding photography

Prague Castle Portrait session / Sherry & Ken pre wedding photography

We are very lucky to have worked with so many wonderful couples from around the world. Though there were many, Sherry & Ken’s session has to be one of our favorites (that we can actually show) from 2014. They were unbelievably cool, easy going, excited and typical of many of our Hong Kong couples – simply a joy to work with. But don’t take my word for it, check out their beautiful autumn session for your self.

A few words from the happy couple:

First and foremost Sherry and I are both grateful to you and your team for the wonderful photo-shooting experience we had in Prague, whom had made perfect arrangement the whole way from the starting pre-meeting session to the make-up and shooting session. The photos are magnificent – Sherry especially like the set of photos taken at the Beach and the Vrtbovska garden. I on the other hand, like the ones from Vrtbovska, Riverside, the Portrait, Lenta, Bellevue Palace, Castle Stable, St Vitus, Charles Bridge, and the night session, yes I am sure you get what I mean. The overall experience we had with your team is excellent and we are truly grateful of the amazing experience we had in Prague. Should you ever find yourself in Hong Kong, make sure you give us a call – we will take you out for some amazing local food which we are absolutely positive that you will be delighted with!

To Sherry & Ken, from all of us here, we wish you both much love, happiness and future prosperity in your new lives together as husband and wife.

A big thank you to the crew: Cary for handling the lighting and Jitka for doing a wonderful job on the hair & Makeup and Martina for handling the office and organizing everything so brilliantly.

Canny & Calvin pre wedding photo shoot in Hong Kong

Hong Kong pre wedding / Canny & Calvin pre wedding portraits!

I am pretty terrible with updating my blog and it was pointed out to me recently I have not posted much from Hong Kong… yikes, I know…but I have been pretty busy – thankfully…

Canny & Calvin epitomize many Hong Kong couples: young, hip, successful and world travelers. Calvin is also into cars (like yours truly) and with a modified and sport tuned Mercedes that is the kind of car you dream about flooring on the autobahn. Though in Hong Kong it is a bit under utilized to say the least. Our first location is a favorite of mine: Stanley or “Chek Chue” is a tourist town East of Repulse Bay and west of Shek O. It is also a wonderful location for capturing portraits of these two along the beautiful bay and Canny really stood out with her red dress.

After a few portraits along the breaking waves we went on a short trip through the old market before heading off through the winding hills to a place to Calvin loves, a very scenic vantage point overlooking Hong Kong. The location was quite stunning with the city as a backdrop and Canny was having a great laugh as Calvin proposed to her on his knees – in front of the car of course.

As Hong Kong was especially warm that evening, we decided to head down to the waterfront near the Mandarin Oriental. Funny enough I counted about 6 or 7 other couples using this spot as a location for their pre wedding portrait and why not when you have a skyline like this? But feeling a bit crowded we walked towards what can only be described as one of the most beautiful waterfronts in the world where some of my favorite images were captured.

The cool thing about Canny & Calvin were how chilled out they were and how much fun they were on the session. Hong Kong couples tend to be quite reserved but when you encourage them to run off and do their own thing they very much come alive. But like all good things this session had to come to and end. Personally as much as I love New York I simply adore Hong Kong and have been lucky to be brought back and look forward to going back next year. But what really makes cities great are the people – and couples like Canny & Calvin make this ‘job’ all the more fun.

To Canny & Calvin it was a lot of fun creating these beautiful portraits. On behalf of my team, we wish you both much love, happiness and future success in your new lives together as husband and wife.
