Possible Locations:
The Charles Bridge with views towards the castle and the red-roofed buildings of Prague is a visual feast with its historic statues and views all around.
The Old Town - with its old-world charms and unique architecture the Old Town Square is a favorite for many. Explore the small winding streets as it leads you to the Astronomical Clock and one of Europe's most visually stunning squares. We highly recommend a sunrise or near sunrise start time to experience the changing light and uniqueness of this beautiful area.
Prague Castle with its impressive architectural styles offers unique gardens and especially wonderful views overlooking Mala Strana.
For adventurous couples, we highly recommend a sunrise start at the secret garden overlooking Prague as the sunlight breaks above the horizon and then a walk through the courtyards, or if you desire, a walk down to the Charles Bridge. Either way, this makes for an unforgettable experience.
Jewish Prague - unique architecture and winding narrow streets make this a wonderful tour for couples who wish to experience one of the last intact pre-war Jewish districts in Europe.

What is the difference between a Pre Wedding and an Engagement Photographer / Love Story Session?
Engagement photo sessions, commonly called E-Sessions or the newest term: 'Love Story Sessions' capture each couple's personality. The bonus is capturing real moments as couples explore a new environment or city in a natural, non-art-directed / posed way. As the price point for E-Sessions is considerably lower, there is also very little if any retouching of the chosen images.
Pre Wedding Portrait Sessions is an Asian concept that tends to be art-directed / mini fashion/editorial shoots. They usually have a lighting crew of 1-2 assistants, lots of lighting gear (softboxes, beauty dishes, gelled lighting), extra camera gear (2-3 bodies, 6-8 lenses: fisheye, macro, zooms, & specialized lenses such as tilt-shift and 'bokeh monsters') and a full hair & makeup crew.
With a crew and more equipment, the prices are considerably higher to cover the costs. Pre-wedding imagery is usually retouched to a very high standard - suitable for magazines and large-format printing. This is extremely important when the images are projected during the wedding dinner. For the very high end of the market, lots of Photoshop work is added to create a more artistic set of images. Due to the amount of gear and art direction, these sessions tend to be slower.
Previously, the style of Asian pre-weddings was very stiff - if not boring. Think of the couple standing in front of a famous location and looking into the camera. Now pre-wedding sessions are more artistic-oriented, with multiple dresses, locations, and couples who not only look like models but additional imagery that captures their real personalities. The Western world is taking note of pre-weddings with many clients from North America and Western Europe wishing to have the same.
Though many of the images in my Pre Wedding Portrait portfolio look and feel 'natural', these sessions are almost always art-directed. This can mean a few things or everything such as the placement of the hands, body position, lighting, and composition are controlled to create the most pleasing look. Additionally, as these sessions take more time to create in post-processing - they are priced considerably higher. For couples who wish to have a very stylized session whether it is a 'pre-wedding or a post-wedding session (with your wedding outfits) or simply a very stylish magazine-styled & editorial session, the pre-wedding sessions are ideal.
