Vrtbovska garden weddings / Akiko & Jakub / photography

It was simply one of the most beautiful days of the year and it was truly fitting for Akiko and Jakub who traveled over from Los Angelas to marry here in Prague.

Akiko & Jakub chose the most beautiful garden to marry in, the famous Vrtbovska Zahrada. As you can see it was a wonderful, intimate affair under the historic architecture and paintings of this famous garden. After their ceremony it was time for champagne and Hors d’ oeuvres with lots of hugs, congratulations and even a few tears of joy.

While family & friends were enjoying the garden, we headed to the top to take in one of the most spectacular views in Prague. This is truly a wonderful place to simply kick back and enjoy the peace and quite as you stare out over the stunning views of the river and the many towers protruding from the red tiles roofs. Everyone speaks of how beautiful Prague is but until you have seen it from this vantage point (or Prague Castle at night) you really can’t appreciate just how stunning this city is.

After a few portraits we headed off for a stroll around the centre to soak up the atmosphere. Wherever Akiko & Jakub went they were truly the center of attention as many tourists paused to congratulate them as well as take their pictures.

One of the things I enjoy about Akiko & Jakub is how relaxed and fun they are and so walking around with them, getting to know them and and creating these beautiful keepsakes of their time here was not only an honor but a real pleasure as we all had a great time.

To Akiko and Jakub, I wish both of you much love, happiness and success in your new lives together as husband & wife. And I look forward to meeting up with the two of you the next time you return to Praha!
