Prague Tips & Hints

Prague · Behind the Scenes · After the Session The part that happens at my desk The session ends, we say goodbye at a café, and then — what exactly? The quiet half of photography happens afterwards: selecting, editing and delivering your gallery. Since it’s also where most client questions live (“how many photos? when? […]

Prague · Planning · The Clock Question Larks, owls and golden hours After location, the second question every couple faces: morning or evening? Both produce beautiful galleries; they produce different beautiful galleries. As someone who shoots both weekly, here is the honest comparison — crowds, light, logistics and the sleep-schedule truth nobody admits in planning […]

Prague · Method · The No-Posing Manifesto Nobody actually knows what to do with their hands The most common thing couples tell me before a session: “just so you know, we’re terrible at posing.” Perfect — because I don’t pose couples. Statues get posed. People get prompts, movement and a little mischief, and the photographs […]

Prague · Indoor · Window Light The softest light is in your room Not every memorable photo needs a bridge behind it. Some of the most intimate sessions I shoot happen entirely indoors: a couple in robes with coffee by a tall window, a mother-to-be in morning light, newlyweds getting ready before their vows. Prague’s […]

Prague · Seasonal · Spring Festival The markets nobody warns you about Everyone knows Prague’s Christmas markets. Far fewer know the city does it all again at Easter — wooden stalls return to the squares wearing ribbons and painted eggs, the light stretches longer, and the blossom season often overlaps. For photoshoots, it is a […]

Prague · Weather & Light · The Mist Chapter When the city floats Some mornings, Prague wakes up wrapped in river fog: bridge towers dissolving into white, lamps glowing like halos, the castle floating above a vanished city. Tourists grumble about the ruined view. Photographers set alarms for it. If your travel dates land in […]

Prague · Family & Couples · Four-Legged Edition The best co-star you already own Prague is one of Europe’s most dog-tolerant cities — cafés set out water bowls, parks welcome off-leash hours, and nobody blinks at a spaniel on a tram. So when couples ask, hesitantly, whether the dog can join the photoshoot, my answer […]

“Do we need a permit to shoot there?” is one of the most common questions in my inbox, usually asked nervously after someone read a forum thread from 2014. The honest answer for Prague is mostly reassuring, occasionally specific. Here’s the practical rulebook I actually work by, updated for how things stand in 2026. The […]

Everyone wants a Prague photoshoot in June. Almost nobody books February — and photographically, that’s a mistake. Winter Prague offers what summer never can: empty landmarks, dramatic skies, lamplight by late afternoon and, when luck delivers snow, a city transformed into a fairytale. Here’s how to make a winter session work, from someone who shoots […]

Photographers talk about light the way sommeliers talk about wine, and Prague pours two exceptional vintages every clear day: golden hour and blue hour. They sit side by side on the clock but produce completely different photographs. Knowing which one fits your session is half the planning — so here’s the honest comparison. Golden hour: […]
