Final checklist for the special day ✔︎

Booking & Planning

  • 1. Initial inquiry
    Send me a message including the city, preferred date, and any specific requests. I'll get back to you with availability and a detailed price list.

    2. Booking & Confirmation email
    Once you've chosen your date and package, simply complete the booking form. After confirmation, you'll receive a comprehensive welcome email that confirms all essential details: your session, schedule, meeting point, payment, important notes, and terms & conditions.

    3. The session & Payment
    On this special day, simply relax and enjoy the experience. Payment is settled on the day in cash.
    *Via agreed bank transfer is also a possibility.

    4. Photo delivery
    All retouched photos as well as original photos will be delivered via a private cloud gallery within 30 days (up to 60 days during peak seasons).

  • It is absolutely normal and common to feel shy.
    For those who prefer a more peaceful setting, my recommendation is an early morning session. This is a tranquil time when both locals and tourists are few and far between. The soft, clear morning light creates a mood as beautiful and evocative as a sunset.

    I also tailor your route to focus on more secluded spots. Instead of popular landmarks like the Charles Bridge or the Old Town Square, I guide you to quieter yet equally stunning locations, perfect for capturing intimate and serene moments.

    For posing, please continue to “During the Session” section below.

  • Absolutely. If rain is expected, I’ll work with you to reschedule for the best possible date and time. I recommend AccuWeather or the iPhone Weather app, 1 to 4 days in advance.

    Light drizzle often adds a lovely atmosphere, so I usually proceed as planned in those conditions.

    If heavy rain makes the shoot impossible on all available days, the session will be cancelled.
    *In case a deposit was made, I will make a full refund.

    And if you need to change the date for personal reasons, just send me a message. I’m happy to accommodate your needs as flexibly as possible.

  • Solo Sessions
    Making sure you don’t feel awkward shooting alone, I’ll guide you with natural poses and expressions throughout. But you’re also welcome to pose freely!

    Family Sessions
    When photographing families, especially with children, I create a relaxed atmosphere to capture their genuine moments.
    If parents or grandparents join, I take things slowly, guiding each pose gently to make everyone feel at ease.

    *For groups of three or more, additional fees apply, which is shown on the package pricing.

  • Please settle the full payment in cash on-site right after the session. Euro is preferred, but Czech Koruna is also accepted.

    If you prefer, bank transfers to my Czech or Korean accounts are available, which is often the best option for international clients to avoid extra bank fees.

    For clients opting for bank transfer, I kindly ask for a small deposit upfront to secure your booking.

    Deposit refund policy:

    • Cancel within 7 days of deposit payment and receive a full refund.

    • Cancel after 7 days and receive a 50% refund.

    • If less than 30 days remain before your shoot, refunds are not available regardless of cancellation timing.

  • Absolutely, privacy is very important to me.

    Please note that the booking form includes a consent on the terms and conditions sections regarding the use of your images and personal information. Unless you specifically request otherwise, some photos or videos may be used for my portfolio or promotional purposes.

    If you wish to keep your photos completely private, please let me know at the time of booking. Requests made after the shoot may be difficult to fully accommodate, as some images might have already been shared.

Wedding & Couple Session Prep

  • Dress
    I highly recommend bringing your own dress. You easily order elegant and simple white dresses at reasonable prices online such as Amazon. For two sessions - morning and evening - you can try 2 styles to create different moods. Simple dresses with clean silhouette work best, rather than overly voluminous or decorated designs.

    If you strongly prefer rental, I can provide information about local rental shops in Prague after your booking is confirmed. Please note that rental options can be limited and pricy.

    Suit
    Classic black or navy suits photograph beautifully and stand the test of time. Adding touches like a tie, watch, shoes, or hairstyle can create stylish focal points.

    Veil & Flower crown
    I recommend a short to mid-length veil. A flower crown (wreath) can be a great option for a glowing, romantic look. Either way, I’m happy to capture with or without the piece.

    Bouquet
    In Prague or other cities, you can purchase fresh bouquets from local florists the day before or the morning of your shoot. If you prefer, bringing your own (artificial) bouquet is also perfectly fine.

    Skin and body retouching
    Most importantly, enjoy the shoot to the fullest. Afterward, I will carefully enhance your photos with elegant retouching to smooth skin tones and refine body shapes - slightly taller and slimmer while remaining true to your natural beauty.

    Hair, makeup and assistant services
    Please continue reading the next question.

  • Hair & Makeup
    In Prague, I can help you book a trusted local artist I collaborate with. She’ll visit your hotel and provide full bridal hair and makeup, along with basic styling for the groom. She’s familiar with Asian, especially Korean bridal aesthetics and take great care in creating a polished, elegant look. Please share your reference photos and requests.

    It is absolutely okay to prepare your own hair and makeup.

    Assistant service
    If you’ll be carrying multiple items or need help adjusting your dress, an assistant can be a great support - bouquets, jackets, bags, and keeping your dress neat between locations. You can book this service together with hair and makeup.

    *Service available in Prague. The fee will be added to the total payment of the photo session.

  • Recommended
    For classic European cities like Prague, Vienna, or Milan, an elegant look works beautifully. I recommend formal dresses and suits, business casual, or a stylish casual outfit.

    Muted tones such as black, white, navy, or beige are the most versatile and safest choices. You can add one or two accent colors to bring the look to life without overwhelming the scene.

    If you're doing a two-part session, feel free to change up the style.
    *For example: Morning - formal dress and suit / Sunset-evening - stylish casual outfit.

    Not Recommended
    Avoid outfits that are too colorful, too sporty or touristy. These looks tend to clash with the elegant atmosphere of the city.

  • Light ⏱️ 2 hours
    Perfect for casual travel portraits or honeymoon snaps.
    This is a compact course centered around Prague’s Old Town, capturing just the key highlights in a light and easygoing session.

    Signature ⏱️ 3 hours
    A curated standard session for simple wedding or premium honeymoon sessions.
    This well-balanced course includes iconic scenes like the red-roof city views and classic tram scenes, offering a comprehensive yet charming visual story.

    Elegance ⏱️ 4 hours
    Ideal for couples who want a relaxed and emotional wedding session.
    Starting in the late afternoon and flowing into sunset and evening, this course captures both iconic landmarks and softer moments in quiet alleys, cozy cafés, and streets filled with golden light.

    All-In-One ⏱️ 4 hours (2+2)
    A practical option that captures two moods in one session.
    Begin with a classic wedding look in the morning, then switch to a stylish casual outfit for the sunset and night scenes to add variety and depth.

    First Class ⏱️ 6 hours (3+3)
    The ultimate full-day experience that beautifully captures every moment in Prague from morning until sunset.
    With two outfits and all major locations included, this premium session is designed for comfort and elegance. For a truly seamless day, I recommend adding hair and makeup along with an assistant service.

  • Morning
    A time of clear, gentle light and peaceful quiet.
    The city feels like it’s just waking up, making this a perfect choice for those who prefer a calm atmosphere. Morning sunlight can feel surprisingly poetic, offering a softness that rivals even golden hour.

    Afternoon-sunset
    A dreamy time filled with warm, glowing light.
    This session includes the golden hour, when soft sunbeams turn golden and orange, creating a romantic, cinematic mood. As the sun lowers, we can also capture the serene glow of early dusk.

    Sunset-evening
    “Prague is even more beautiful at night than during the day.”
    We begin at sunset, as the light softens and the city shifts into its evening charm. Streetlights come on, the sky turns deep blue, and the mood becomes magically romantic.

  • 💍 Sure, I’d be happy to help you create an unforgettable moment.

    Please let me know your plans when booking. I’ll help you choose the right spot and timing so it flows naturally during the session. When we reach a quiet, scenic location, I’ll give you a subtle but clear signal. That’s your cue to take out the ring and kneel.

    From certain distance I’ll quietly capture the moment, allowing you to stay fully present.

    After the proposal, we’ll continue the session with a romantic engagement theme, including a few lovely ring shots.

    • We will keep it 100% confidential.

    • Prepare your speech in advance.

    Process
    Send me your wedding date, venue, and schedule. I’ll provide a detailed quote and booking info.

    From a 2-hour city hall ceremony to a 12-hour castle wedding, I document not only the couple but also the genuine moments shared with your loved ones.

    What’s included

    Popular cities

During the Session

  • That’s completely natural, especially if it’s your first time. Most people feel nervous or self-conscious at first.

    I’ll guide you with simple, natural poses throughout the session so you can relax and enjoy the moment.

    Posing examples:

    • Walking hand-in-hand while chatting, like your usual date.

    • A warm soft hug from behind.

    • A gentle kiss set in perfect angle.

    • At a cafe, having a small chat with a cup of coffee.

    • Simple dance moves

    And most importantly - Just smile 😊
    Your smile brings the photos to life.
    On this day, you forget about others and focus on each other.

  • Most sessions are comfortably done on foot. In classic European cities like Prague, key spots are close together and perfect for walking.

    For locations like Prague Castle that require a tram ride, I’ll include all details in your guide email.

    Tram ticket options:

    • Buy in advance at a metro station

    • Purchase on-site

    • PID app (Prague public transport)

    *Public transports such as tram or metro are faster and easier than taxi or Uber.

  • Absolutely!
    If you have photo references or must-have shots, feel free to show me on your phone when we first meet.

    I can quickly assess the location, lighting, and mood, and we’ll work them into our route whenever possible.

    If a reference is from a different time of day or far from our planned course, I’ll suggest a similar alternative with matching light and atmosphere (e.g., tram shot, café, sunset moment).

    Signature poses or gestures unique to you as a couple are always welcome. I’ll help guide them into the best setting and timing for best results.

  • Yes, you must arrive hands-free. Please avoid bringing bags. Just keep essentials like your phone or wallet in your pocket.

    If necessary, I can safely store small valuables (phone, wallet, cash payment) in my camera bag.

    While cities like Prague are generally safe, leaving bags or jackets on the ground during the session can attract pickpockets.

    • A small handbag used as a prop is totally fine.

    • For wedding sessions or if you have many items, I recommend booking an assistant service.

    • Please note: I do not take any responsibility for lost items due to client oversight during the session.

  • I’d advise you to arrive on time, as the session will still end at the scheduled time even if you’re late. This may reduce the number of locations or moments we can capture.

    Rushing affects the overall flow and atmosphere, so I kindly ask that you leave early and aim to arrive a little ahead of time.

    If you need to adjust the schedule, please message me at least one day before. I’ll do my best to accommodate changes.

Retouching & Delivery

  • Retouching style
    My editing style focuses on natural, moody and warm tones.
    Depending on the scene, it can be soft and airy, or intense and dramatic.

    Photoshop retouching
    All edits are done delicately to preserve the mood and your natural look.

    • Clean, light skin tones

    • Removal of blemishes or scars

    • Subtle slimming and height adjustments

    • Removal of distracting background elements

    *Over-editing is avoided. (e.g., altering particualar body shapes, altering background).

    Selection process
    I usually handpick the best moments for retouching, selecting at least one standout shot from each scene based on expression, movement, composition, and harmony with the background.
    Occasionally, intentional out-of-focus or motion blur may be included for mood.

    *For wedding ceremonies, you'll receive all unedited originals first and make your own selections for retouching.

  • Delivery schedule
    Photos are delivered within 30 days of the session.
    During peak season, delivery may take up to 60 days.
    If your wedding or event is near, I’ll do my best to deliver earlier.

    Format & Size
    All images are provided in high-resolution JPG format (RAW not included):

    • Originals: Baisc color, composition adjusted (3,840px / 240DPI / 1–1.9MB)

    Downloadable on both mobile and desktop.
    The gallery stays open for 30 days, so please make sure to download all.

  • Yes, if your wedding is approaching, I’ll prioritize delivery on time so you can use the photos for your digital invitations, venue gallery, or wedding video.

    However, during peak season, quick turnaround may not always be possible due to high workload.

    For overseas pre-wedding sessions, I recommend scheduling at least 4 months before your wedding.

  • The photographer retains full copyright and ownership of all photos and videos.

    Clients are granted unlimited personal-use rights.

    Clients grant permission for the photographer to use the photos and videos for promotional purposes (website, social media, portfolio, etc.), unless otherwise agreed in advance.
