Atelier Rafael

Atelier Rafael in the heart of Žižkov is a place where wedding stories are captured with respect, sensitivity and technical precision. Josef Rafael, the studio owner and creative photographer with twenty years of experience, specializes in wedding photography and bases his service on a mix of natural reportage and carefully composed portraits. His approach focuses on emotions and authentic moments — the result is a collection of photographs couples enjoy looking through for years to come. Why choose Atelier Rafael? Josef treats every wedding as a unique project: he contacts you in advance, listens to your ideas and proposes a photography style that suits the atmosphere of the day — from candid reportage to dreamy newlywed portraits. His long experience allows him to work unobtrusively during the ceremony and proactively during portrait sessions, creating calm, focused moments for the couple when needed. This balance produces natural images full of feeling alongside meticulously crafted portraits that emphasize light and composition. How does the collaboration work? It begins with a personal or online consultation to review the wedding schedule, key moments and any special requests (newlywed portraits, detail shots, group photos). On the wedding day Josef works discreetly and professionally — aiming to be a companion rather than a disruptive presence. After the wedding, a thorough post‑production process follows: selected images are edited so the final photos feel timeless and faithfully reproduce the mood of the day. In addition to wedding photography, Atelier Rafael also offers portrait sessions — ideal for newlyweds, actor headshots or professional portraits after the wedding. The studio also runs workshops and provides studio rental, broadening the technical possibilities and creative options available during a shoot. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Prague, especially in Žižkov, who combines experience, a keen sense for the decisive moment and a professional approach, Atelier Rafael is a choice for couples who want natural, emotive wedding photography.
