The stunning pictures that you see on these pages were taken in June when we captured society couple Jeffrey and Emily Piak on their first visit to Prague. They were also in the capital of the Czech Republic to preview the new Riders of the Knights high jewellery collection by Louis Vuitton. Naturally, we wanted to find out how they found the experience of being the subjects of a photoshoot in one of Europe’s most historic cities. But by doing so, we unwittingly kicked off the kind of conversation that couples have probably been having since the beginning of time. You know, the kind where one person reminisces about a shared experience, only to realize the other person doesn’t remember things the same way at all.
It all begins quite innocently. “Prague was really beautiful,” Jeffrey tells us. “It felt like a second honeymoon for us. Even having to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to get ready for the shoot was worth it.” He adds, “When we got married, we only got our pictures taken in a photography studio, we didn’t do an outdoor shoot.”
That’s when Emily reminds him: “Yes, we did. Remember, we went to the Botanic Gardens, and my gown got dirty.” The ensuing expression of bewilderment that crosses Jeffrey’s face is mild and brief, but quite genuine. “We went to the Botanic Gardens? Oh, okay.”
Luckily for us, this is a couple who doesn’t sweat the small stuff, and harmony continues to prevail for the rest of the interview. In fact, they are a disarmingly endearing, down-to-earth pair, who don’t do gushy declarations, which makes their professions of affection for each other all the more heartfelt when these do arrive.
