Nowadays, Prague pre wedding shooting is very popular. Why Because Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. A total of 10.6 million foreign tourists visited the Czech Republic over the course of 2018, according to official stats released by the Czech Statistical Office. That’s a lot of people!
Having beautiful pre wedding video and photo shooting in Prague can wow your guests when you show them your video clip or slideshow of your photos at your actual wedding back home, too. For that reason, many people like to come to Prague.
As a pre wedding videographer in Prague, I get asked many questions from couples about planning a shooting in Prague. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions:
So, let’s jump in and answer to these questions – maybe even more!
It depends on many factors. The main one is how many locations in Prague you would like to have in your photos or video. Some want many, others want few.
Do you want just walk around the center of Prague? Or are you willing to drive to other locations, which more further from the center of the city?
Also, when you’re planning to change outfit 3-4 times during the photo and video shooting, then I would suggest take 6-8 hours package.
This question is one of the most asked queries I receive. If you’re planning to change your outfit 2-3 times during a video and photo shooting, you have a couple options where to do that:
This is most comfortable option, but also the most time consuming one. When you drive or walk back to hotel to change and after that going back to a shooting location can take a while.
So, this option is good to choose when you have whole day shooting package or your shooting takes place nearby the hotel.
Also, it can be good option when you have a divided shooting, let’s say 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening. This gives you break between the shooting and means you can take a rest and change your outfit.
This is a good option, but not the most comfortable one. Normally we do shooting early in the morning. At this time of the day normally coffee shops are open and not crowded.
When you buy something from them, they can let you change the dress in their place. It’s fast and you don’t have to walk back to your hotel.
This is last option and not comfortable one.
You can find WC’s everywhere, it means you can change your outfit almost everywhere, making this the most efficient and less time consuming option. I would suggest this option as the last one, because of it’s not comfortable at all))
Let’s be honest here. If you want to get most beautiful photos or video from your Prague pre wedding shooting, then I would suggest you do it early in the morning.
There are many advantages to do that. Prague is beautiful in a sunrise; the light is great in this time period as well.
There won’t be any harsh shadows on your faces, nor will there be too much sunlight. Also, a big plus here is there will be almost no one in the center.
So, you can take beautiful pictures or video with no one in the background. One more thing, as I mentioned before, coffee shops will be empty in this time of the day, so you can easily change your outfit or change your style.
It depends where you’re planning your shooting. If your hotel in the center and you’re planning the shooting in the center as we talked before, then walking is a good option.
Maybe you need a car, for example if you want to go to Prague Castle, because you need walk uphill to get there. It can be hard to do that, when you have a big dress or uncomfortable shoes.
It gives me great creative shots, which I can use in my final video. It’s also a more enjoyable, scenic route.
I shoot many Asian pre wedding videos in Prague, and 30% of them have a symbolic ceremony in a church.
You can ask me is it worth to do that? I would say yes.
It’s not about only having a ceremony (which is great), but also you get exclusive access to these beautiful churches. So, there won’t be any crowded tourists, but just you.
Now, you can take beautiful pictures and video after your symbolic ceremony. It’s worth the effort to arrange this, I believe.
Just check for example the Church of St. Nicholas’ in Old Town Square – it’s really quite gorgeous inside.
I think this is most important decision to make for you. I understand that having a photographer or videographer who speaks in your native language can be convenient and easy going.
But, if you’re reading this article, you do understand English (at least a little) so you can easily parlay with your photographer.
In this case I would suggest take a local photographer or videographer in Prague.
