Their story

Just the two of them, and Prague

They flew all the way from the USA to get married in Prague and to enjoy the city together. No guests and no big schedule: just the two of them, a beautiful afternoon and Prague at their feet.

They said their vows on the terrace of Lobkowicz Palace, overlooking the whole city. Afterwards we took a vintage Rolls-Royce down to the Vltava, with Charles Bridge right behind us, and ended the session in the castle gardens.
