A Bridal Session – Prague, Czech Republic

by Ryan Rowell

Since we were only spending 3 short days with Tara & Ryan for their Prague Destination wedding , Tara wanted to do a bridal shoot around the city of Prague and at the Prague Castle the night before her wedding.

First we headed to Prague Castle, and St. Vitus Cathedral. St. Vitus is huge, and a similar design to Notre Dame in Paris, and because it is so huge, no one really noticed that we were doing a mini bridal shoot with off camera flash right inside the church (this is a feat, because in most Canadian churches they are really strict on photography, and even more so they are strict on flash usage.) In Europe they seem to encourage photography, I love it!

I really love these images inside the church.

I don’t really know how to describe Prague, but when you are there its comfortable. Ryan said “It feels like home” Its quiet and beautiful, and people say hello in the streets. The same night we did this shoot below, we came back to the hotel, had dinner , then Ryan and I headed out again just to walk around the city  at night. It was 11:30pm and on a snowy night people of all ages, especially elderly people were out taking a stroll. Its a very safe feeling city.

Behind our hotel were the huge medieval city walls, most parts of the walls date back to the early 1300’s it was the perfect setting for the end of Tara’s Prague bridal session. It’s amazing to be at the center of so much history. Prague will always have a special place in my heart.

Cheers

& Ryan
