As an easygoing professional wedding photographer based in Ceske Budejovice, I capture an authentic reportage of your day. I offer natural, emotional wedding photos and drone footage.
I’m Jan (Honza) Kypet Šmíd — an easygoing professional wedding photographer based in Nove Hrady near Ceske Budejovice. Wedding photography for me is more than a job: it’s a way to preserve atmosphere, emotion and the small moments that otherwise fade away. I specialize in wedding reportage, where being unobtrusive, attentive and ready to capture spontaneous moments — laughter, tears, little details that make the story of the day — is essential. My approach to shooting is relaxed, friendly and professional. I aim to create a comfortable environment so couples and guests feel natural. In practice this means I prefer working with everyday situations, small gestures and authentic emotions rather than stiff poses. I favor a documentary style complemented by gentle portrait moments that arise naturally during a walk or shared quiet time. I also often use a drone to give context to the location and offer a different perspective on the wedding story. I work in a modern and responsible way: I shoot with two reliable camera bodies, back up all data and take every precaution to minimize the risk of technical problems. Communication is important to me — before the wedding I’m happy to talk about your ideas, the places you love and what matters most to you. On the day itself I combine a discreet documentary style with brief, calm guidance when needed so we create strong portrait images without unnecessary stress. I mainly photograph couples from South Bohemia — Ceske Budejovice, Cesky Krumlov and the surrounding area — but I’m happy to travel throughout the Czech Republic (Prague, Brno and beyond). In addition to photography I offer optional video clips filmed alongside the photo coverage; these atmospheric clips often make a beautiful complement to the wedding day’s imagery. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who values natural moments, atmosphere and a personal approach, get in touch — I’d be glad to meet and discuss how to capture your day exactly as it was.
