Welcome to the final post in my 2023 Year in Review series. This post covers the months of October, November, and December. These are usually our most predictable in terms of weather but this year things got thrown out of order a little. Our usually short-lived autumn colours came in patches all throughout the final 4 months of the year. Normally, they come and go in the last week of October and the first week of November. The normally bitterly […]
That magical week of the year when we see the cherry blossoms in bloom is a popular one here in Korea. Elroy was one of the super lucky people this year who timed his session absolutely perfectly! With a bed of rapeseed flowers and a canopy of fully-bloomed cherry blossoms, this proposal really could not have gone better! We had been discussing this for quite some time and locked in a date that would work for Elroy and Jean to […]
Welcome to the third blog in my Year in Review series for 2023. This section takes us through the dramatic weather of summer and into the calmer month of September when autumn starts to show its hand. Despite the heat, summer offers beautiful greens that we don’t get at any other time of year and the beginning of autumn can be equally as beautiful as when all the leaves change (but it lasts a lot longer!). July – Family, […]
Welcome back to part 2 of this year’s Year in Review post series. As the weather warmed up, this year really took flight and it was one of the busiest quarters we’ve ever had. I hope you’ll enjoy a peek into some of the sessions from that time. April – Family, Couple, Proposal, Editorial, eCommerce and Event Photography To kick off April, I had a session with the Brady family in the VERY early blooming cherry and plum blossoms. […]
Welcome one and all to my 2023 Year in Review. Carrying on the tradition of previous years, this will be a look at many of my activities as a photographer in Korea this year. In this first quarter, we started slowly as we always do. But, as the world started to defrost, the work began! I hope you’ll enjoy the mix of families, couples, events, and even travel photography in this first quarter. January – Family, Couple, eCommerce, and […]
As the days cool down and the sun rises a little later in the morning, the perfect days for family photos begin in Seoul. September might not quite have the glorious colours of autumn yet, but the trees have begun to show their first signs of change and the light has taken on its autumnal glow. Jade reached out as she and her family were preparing their trip and we agreed on getting out in the early morning for the […]
One word describes Abel and Melissa’s autumn pre-wedding photo session and it is warmth. The warmth the couple have for each other, the warmth of the light, the warmth of the autumnal leaves, and the warmth that crept into the crisp morning air as the sun rose. This really was the perfect morning for a photo shoot in Seoul! Following the wet and humid summer in Korea is the most beautiful season of them all – autumn. This is the […]
This one was a long time coming. Jeff and I had been in touch for several months leading up to this big moment. This was great because it gave us time to discuss several options and allow me to recce them in the leadup. Eventually, we settled on Seopjikoji for the beautiful view of the ocean and Seongsan Sunrise Peak and planned out the day. As with all my proposal sessions, I sent Jeff a detailed guide with photos and […]
The monsoon is here. I’m sitting at my computer now listening to the rain beating on my roof. There is a stack of towels next to the door waiting in case our downpipes can’t handle the volume and we get a little overflow into the hall outside the house. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen! What this situation tells me is that summer is in full swing and it’s about to get really hot here. We don’t do too many family […]
This proposal will be one that sticks with me for a while. Justian reached out with plenty of time leading up to his proposal and we were not only able to book the date and location he wanted, but could get a live music for him as well. Justian’s plan was to have a violinist play one of their favourite songs as he proposed to Vania. She had always wanted to learn the violin, so this was the perfect instrument […]
