Okay, picture this: it’s early December, the smell of hot mulled wine is floating through the air, fairy lights are glowing on every corner, and Prague looks straight out of a Christmas movie. Now imagine you in the middle of all that — smiling, cozy, and holding a cup of hot punch. Sounds magical? Then it’s definitely time to plan your Christmas Family Photoshoot in Prague.
Let me spill all the secrets so your photos look gorgeous, you feel amazing, and the whole thing turns into an actual holiday memory, not just “that one day we took pictures.”
What to Wear for Your Christmas Family Photoshoot in Prague
First rule — keep it simple, but make it pop. Please choose one or two main colors and stick to them. Think red and emerald, navy and burgundy, or golden tones with deep green. The city is already full of colors and lights, so you don’t want to compete with every Christmas tree in sight.
Warmth is your best friend. Skip the off-shoulder gowns and summer shoes — evening dresses in winter markets look a little… well, confusing. Cozy coats, textured scarves, knit sweaters, and elegant gloves photograph beautifully and help you stay comfy.
Don’t be afraid to dress it up a bit — a lovely dress, wool skirt, or chic coat will always look flattering on camera. Add a few accessories like statement earrings or a soft beret. They bring extra charm and dimension to your shots without stealing the show.
For makeup — go a little bolder than usual. Lashes, a bit of glow, and color on your lips make a huge difference in photos.

Where and When to Go for Your Christmas Family Photoshoot in Prague
Of course, everyone knows about the big market on Old Town Square (map). It’s gorgeous and festive — but also packed. If you want something a little calmer (and equally pretty), try one of these:
Wenceslas Square Market (map) – bright, lively, and full of music. The lower part near Mustek station is especially cozy in the evenings.
Peace Square (Náměstí Míru) (map) – my personal favorite. The church backdrop, the scent of cinnamon, and fewer tourists — it’s the perfect mix.
Republic Square (Náměstí Republiky) (map) – close to Palladium shopping mall, so we can sneak in for a quick warm-up if needed.
Kampa Christmas Market (map) – charming and smaller, with Charles Bridge right above. It’s like a fairy tale come to life.
The best time? Early morning, when the stalls are closed but the lights are still glowing softly. Or during sunset and blue hour, when the city turns into a golden sparkle. Just keep in mind — in the evening we’ll have to dance around people, but it’s worth it for that dreamy glow.
The Christmas markets run from November 29 to January 6, so there’s plenty of time to catch the magic.
Bring the Magic with You
Want to make your Christmas Family Photoshoot in Prague even more magical? Bring along a few festive props! Fairy lights on batteries, sparklers, or even a cup of hot punch — these little touches bring warmth and story to your images.
Grab a trdelník (those warm, sweet pastries you smell from a mile away), laugh, cuddle, and just be in the moment. I’ll take care of capturing it all. You can even bring a can of artificial snow — trust me, it looks like real magic on camera.
Play, laugh, twirl — let the Christmas spirit wake up your inner child.
A Few Fun Ideas
Let’s visit a Christmas tree market together and capture the moment you pick your perfect tree. It’s such a cute and authentic idea!
Or maybe we go ice-skating? Prague is full of lovely rinks in winter — when was the last time you skated hand in hand, laughing like crazy? It’s romantic, silly, and totally photogenic.
And for the perfect finish — we can warm up in a cozy decorated studio. Imagine soft lights, a fluffy rug, hot tea, and the two of you under a glowing Christmas tree. That mix of outdoor sparkle and indoor warmth? Pure perfection.
