I specialize in various types of photoshoots, encompassing weddings, portraits, events, family shoots, and travel photography. Additionally, my wife Marina offer retouching and photo editing services for an extra fee.
The prices for my services vary depending on the type of photo session, your specific needs, and the location where the shoot will take place. For instance, wedding shoots, family portraits, and travel sessions may have different prices due to variations in duration, preparation complexity, and the location of the shoot. To get detailed information about pricing and available options, please contact me through the contact form on my website. I’ll be happy to provide you with all the necessary details and prepare a personalized quote tailored to your preferences and requirements, taking into account the city where the shoot will be held.
Portrait Photoshoots:
Typically, the duration of a portrait session depends on the type of session and your preferences. For example, portrait sessions may last around 1-3 hours. However, this duration can vary based on factors such as the number of locations you wish to visit during the photoshoots. If you desire to capture portraits in multiple locations, it may extend the session.
Wedding Shoots:
Wedding shoots, on the other hand, can vary significantly in duration. They can take anywhere from 3 to 12 hours or even longer, depending on the size, complexity, and schedule of the wedding. For instance, intimate weddings with a smaller guest list might have a shorter duration, whereas larger weddings with elaborate programs, such as fireworks and extensive festivities for 150 guests, can extend the duration of the shoot. Each wedding is unique, and the timeline is often tailored to accommodate the couple’s vision and preferences.
Portrait (Couple, Family) Photoshoots:
The turnaround time varies depending on the type of session. Typically, for portrait sessions, I aim to provide previews within 3-10 days after the shoot, allowing clients to select their best photos for after processing. The editing process then takes approximately 5-14 days to complete.
Wedding Shoots:
For weddings, the editing process usually takes longer due to the comprehensive coverage and the inclusion of all the best photographs. Therefore, the editing timeline ranges from 1-3 months (though I endeavor to deliver sooner), ensuring meticulous attention to detail and the creation of a memorable collection of images capturing the essence of the special day.
Clothing recommendations depend on the style of the session and your preferences. Generally, it’s recommended to choose clothing that will harmonize with the surroundings and create a cohesive look. If you have specific questions about this, I’d be happy to help you prepare for the shoot.
Certainly, I’m ready to work with any of your ideas and preferences. If you have props or want to change outfits during the shoot, just let me know in advance so I can prepare. (I recommend no more than one outfit per 30 minutes)
Of course, I’m always open to your suggestions regarding the location of the shoot. If you have specific preferences or ideas, please let me know, and we’ll choose a suitable location together.
Additionally, I assist with selecting locations for the photo session, providing a curated list of the best options tailored to your preferences and vision. Whether you’re looking for scenic outdoor spots, charming urban backdrops, or unique indoor settings, I offer guidance and recommendations to ensure we choose the perfect locations that align with the style and theme of your photoshoot.
Yes, you can choose the time of day for the shoot that suits you best. Just keep in mind that certain times may require additional planning. Since Prague is a highly touristy city, if you wish to avoid crowds of tourists, it’s recommended to schedule the shoot earlier in the morning. Ideally, it’s advisable to conclude the photoshoot by 9 a.m. to ensure we capture the best shots before tourists start gathering.
For non-reschedulable events like weddings, it’s wise to prepare ahead by procuring umbrellas that either complement your attire or are transparent. Ensure your indoor spaces are spacious and well-lit, providing ample opportunities for indoor photography.
If rescheduling is an option, it’s advisable to do so, depending on mutual availability. I typically recommend having a few extra days as a buffer. Rescheduling due to inclement weather is done free of charge upon mutual agreement.
You can contact me by email or phone, listed on my website. I’m also available through social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
Absolutely, I’m open to incorporating your pets into the shoot. Just let me know in advance so I can prepare accordingly.
Yes, I have experience working with children during photo sessions. I strive to create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere so that children feel at ease and natural during the shoot.
Usually, I provide clients with access to the RAW photo files for an additional fee. Please discuss this with me in advance if you need the original files.
Yes, I have reviews and recommendations from previous clients. You can view them on my website or Google Page
Yes, we can discuss the terms of using the photos for commercial purposes. Please contact me to discuss the details.
Yes, you can order additional services such as creating photo albums. Let’s discuss your requirements, and I’ll offer options and prices.
Wedding Shoots:
You can reserve a date by signing a contract and paying a deposit of €40 (1000 CZK). This will confirm your booking.
For other portrait or family photoshoots, you can reserve a date by paying a deposit of €20 (500 CZK). This will also confirm your booking and guarantee you a spot in my schedule
You can pay the deposit using any convenient method for you, including PayPal, Revolut (a unique link for credit or debit card payment), or bank transfer.
In case of booking cancellation, the deposit may be refunded according to the terms of the contract. Please review the full booking and cancellation terms before making the deposit.
It is recommended to book the date for the photo session in advance, especially for wedding photo sessions, to ensure date availability. However, I strive to be flexible and can consider last-minute bookings if possible.
Yes, you can change the date or time of the photo session after booking, provided there are available slots in my schedule. Please contact me to discuss possible options.
Of course, I am ready to meet your needs and push aside other clients who are also waiting for their photographs, but only under special conditions. Urgent photo processing (within 7 calendar days) entails an additional fee of +30% of the total cost. Please note that this service provides priority and expedited delivery of your photos ahead of schedule, allowing you to receive them sooner than expected.
Absolutely, transportation arrangements are entirely the responsibility of the client. Typically, you won’t necessarily require a car for a city photoshoot if you have comfortable footwear and minimal belongings. However, having transportation can be beneficial, especially if you plan to move between distant locations.
One common solution, particularly for weddings, is to have a car transport you to the ceremony venue and then accompany you for an hour or two afterward. Alternatively, renting a car is another viable option, but you’ll need someone to drive it as parking in the center of Prague is restricted.
Of course! I’m as invested as you are in ensuring that your makeup stays intact, your bouquet remains fresh, and everything runs smoothly. I only recommend professionals whom I trust implicitly and would personally engage without hesitation.
I always carry two full-frame cameras, Nikon Z6 II, along with a selection of fast lenses spanning various focal lengths, from 18mm to 105mm. I also have Nikon D810 camera, which I particularly enjoy using for studio photoshoots, as well as a Nikon D500, which I consider the best camera for event and sports photography.
I specialize in photography, I’m more than happy to recommend skilled videographers for your event. Personally, I believe it’s challenging to excel in both mediums simultaneously.
I firmly believe that the key to a successful photoshoot lies not in rigid poses (unless it’s fashion photography), but in relaxation and authenticity. I’ll provide guidance on direction, but the more spontaneous and animated you are, the better the results.
Perhaps, even for just the duration of the shoot, you can reconnect with your inner child—the one who once effortlessly cartwheeled down the street without a care. Relax, let that playful spirit shine through. For couples, don’t hesitate to express your love openly. Remember, every moment is an opportunity to cherish each other. For the more formal poses, I’ll be there to offer assistance of course.
Absolutely. I always accommodate my clients’ requests. For this purpose, we sign an additional contract with clients regarding the prohibition of publication. You make an additional payment, and I create a special private online gallery with password protection and extra security measures for you. Write to me and we will discuss the details
