Asians love wedding photography in Prague. It's due to the series, songs and tradition

Our wedding customs are simple. One day. Ceremony, lots of people around, a photographer. Photos from the wedding ceremony, and photo shooting afterward in gardens or romantic spaces. However, we mostly perceive wedding photography as unnecessary stress, which holds up the guests.

Pre-wedding photography is full of comfort and tranquility

Asians have it differently, and this trend is starting to penetrate us as well. Pre-wedding photography is a matter of prestige and privacy for them.

You have unlimited time, peace, and privacy. Only you and the photographer enjoy the atmosphere. You don't bother anyone and your experience is only yours. At your own wedding you can then only focus on your ceremony and guests. In Asian countries, pre-wedding photography is a larger tradition.

Pre-wedding photos are part of the wedding day decoration

Wedding photographs are displayed on the wedding day. At home, in ceremonial halls, at the feast. Photos are the center of the entire celebration just like the young couple. The newlyweds use them in their wedding announcements and thus share the tenderness of the moment with their guests even before the ceremony itself. That's why they take great care of the photos and very often they search for unforgettable locations. Why specifically Prague?

The Lovers in Prague series

The South Korean romance film from 2005 Lovers in Prague (Lovers in Prague) has been an absolute hit for twenty years now.In it, Prague is depicted as a remarkably romantic place. Just like how Paris is depicted here. That's why a large part of the future spouses in Prague come from South Korea.

And when you encounter couples where the bride has red dresses, it's most likely going to be the Chinese. The color red there symbolizes happiness, so red dresses in the morning sun in the empty streets are left to quickly grab a camera. After all, brides often change their dresses during photoshoots. The location changes as well, so it can be a matter of a few days, a few sunny mornings.

Premarital couples from China are also attracted to Karlův most (Charles Bridge) or Old Town Square early in the morning. Couples often come from Hong Kong or Taiwan as well. In Hong Kong, the popularity of Prague was also increased by the song Prague Square by artists Jolin Tsai and Jay Chou.

And yes, Paris and London are also similarly popular.

"Most of the clients who manage to travel for wedding photographs are 'clerical, middle-class, young, educated couples who like to chase exotic things and fashion.'

said Han for the website latimes.com, manager of a Chinese company that deals with wedding travel around Europe.

The series absolutely failed here

A popular series in South Korea has on our CSFD only 38% and the audience criticizes poor Czech dubbing, terrible Czech extras and overall for our citizens, the series seems too strained. The original version, which had better sound, and of course a more authentic atmosphere, is rated better.

Otherwise, Koreans have an incredibly adorable perception of Prague - the Old Town Square, Prague Castle, the panorama of Prague Castle, the panorama of the Old Town, luxury apartments and Korean restaurants.

Of course, there are also domesticated Koreans who live, work, and help the main characters here.

writes Mononoke on the movie database.

And this romantic perception is what attracts Asian newlyweds. But let's not only be critical. The audience sometimes appreciates good humor, detachment, and especially beautiful shots and exteriors. By the way, Czech actors also appear in the series, for example Jan Révai.

Having photos from Prague is prestigious

When newlyweds show their wide family beautiful photographs from Prague, it is simply a symbol of incredible prestige.

And also an unforgettable experience.
