As the event photographer, you get to see it all. The ANZA ball is always a great party. It brings Seoul’s locals and expats together for a night of Australian and New Zealand entertainment. Not only that, but silent auctions and raffles are held every year to support some of Korea’s most important charities. If you are in town, this is the event of the year and is not to be missed. I’ve had the pleasure of working as the […]
As I sit here writing, it is pouring rain outside as our monsoon season begins. The rising humidity has reached its peak and now is getting an injection from the downpour that opened up a few hours ago. My balcony is ankle deep in water and I feel a longing for the nicer times of the year. So, today we’ll journey back to spring and meet the Wiesner family. Taylor, Jeremy, and their son Parker were here during some […]
The cherry blossoms. Oh! The cherry blossoms. Wyatt contacted me about his proposal earlier this year, and we set out to plan the perfect scene for him to propose to Allison. She would be visiting for a few days in April, and Wyatt was hoping to capture the proposal under the gorgeous cherry blossoms of Seoul’s spring. We met early one Sunday morning under a canopy that would soon be covered with blossoms and got everything planned for the big day. […]
Megan, Tim, and I met a couple of weeks before Conner’s custody for a cup of coffee. We’re all coffee snobs, so getting to know each other over a fine cup and a chat about the ins and outs of life in Korea was great fun. Each custody session I take part in is something I approach with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation. Every family has a unique story that needs to be told, and we have very little time […]
Last year, I shared with you the first meeting between Chandler and his family. A short time later, I was given the opportunity to work with Tara and Brandon again as they returned to take custody of Chandler and bring him home forever. We saw last time how it took Chandler a short time to warm up and become comfortable around his family. This time, it would be an outpouring of love that greeted the family. Chandler leapt straight into […]
Albert reached out in the middle of last year to check on my availability to photograph his proposal and a short e-session afterwards. The lines went dead for a few months, but I heard back from him again in January letting me know that he’d finally got everything sorted and would be in Seoul at the end of February. His preference of date slipped right in between my return from Laos and a family photography session, but we would be […]
It’s that time of year again – Italian Food Festival time! After six years of running this, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Korea have nailed down a great event. This year was one of their best. With great food from all over Italy that’s not normally available in Korea, it was a great chance for their guests to really get a taste of the true Italy. The official festival will start on the 1st of May, so head over to […]
As Korea pre-wedding sessions get more and more popular, I’ve been able to travel to various parts of Korea including Jeju Island and Jeonju for beautiful sessions with a really different flavour from Seoul. Kim and Chris were tossing up between a session in Seoul, or traveling to the gorgeous Hanok Village in Jeonju. In the end, we decided to get a beautiful Hanok stay down in Jeonju and spend a whole day wandering the streets together. Being a weekday, […]
Betsy contacted me after seeing a family session I had done with some friends of hers from her son’s school. Juggling our relative travel schedules was tricky, but we finally managed to get together and organise a session for the beauty of autumn in Seoul. We got one of the last warm days of the year for this session, and Seoul did not disappoint with some spectacular autumn light for us to work in. With loving parents and energetic children to […]
Every year, the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise division of New Zealand’s Seoul mission launch a festival of New Zealand food and beverages called New Zealand Food Connect. Last year it was a huge event with both currently imported products and producers looking for importers in attendance. For two days (both in Seoul and Busan), I worked with NZTE as their event photographer to produce the images they required for their internal reports, next year’s promotion, and concurrent media releases.
