Sometimes, everything just falls into place. That was the case with this sunrise proposal on Jeju Island. The light, the temperatures, the early summer timing. It was all just perfect. While it wasn’t Joseph’s initial idea, it worked out more spectacularly than we could have hoped for. Joseph had asked me about Hyeopjae Beach and how that might be as a location. One of Jessica’s favourite groups had recorded a music video there and it seemed like it might be […]
Darren reached out a little over a month before his visit to Korea and luckily I had a couple of his preferred dates available. Since he and Trisha had been to Korea previously and had already visited many of the common areas, he wanted to do something a little different for the proposal. We discussed a couple of his ideas as well as some from my side and then Darren dropped the bomb, they were planning to visit Sokcho as […]
Nami Island can be a spectacular place for a photoshoot in any season, but autumn brings a truly special feeling to the island. It really is the perfect time for a Nami Island proposal. In early autumn as the leaves begin to change, the yellow and bronze hues of gingko and metasequoia trees dominate the avenues. But, late in the season, around a week (maybe two if you’re lucky) later, those are all but gone and only the maple trees […]
When Armin first got in touch, he had seen pictures of the view from the top of Bukchon Hanok Village looking down Bukchon 11th Street and was hoping to have his proposal there. But, I recommended against it as that’s a very specific spot and most of the time, there’s a line waiting to take that specific image. This conversation was actually before the curfew was enforced at Bukchon, so we could still be there when the light was nice, […]
This blog focuses on a beautiful Seongsan Sunrise Peak proposal on Jeju Island. There were several criteria that I needed to hit for what Whee Khim had in mind and a few others that we needed to overcome to make this the perfect day for them. Whee Khim and Cindy would be visiting Jeju Island in autumn, one of the most spectacular times of year to visit the island. While the rest of Korea is slowly turning brown and the […]
In this post, we’ll explore a couple of common challenges with preparing an autumn proposal (or spring, for that matter!) in Seoul to the backdrop of Flavio’s beautiful proposal to Vanessa. We’ll look at location and seasons in Korea and how we overcome the associated challenges. I’d say that four out of five discussions I have with regards to a proposal start with the desire to have a beautiful place, beautiful light, and few people. That’s a tough thing to […]
Travis and I had been speaking for months by the time this day rolled around. He really wanted this to be a special moment for them and we’d planned for a sunset proposal on their trip to Jeju Island. Even from our first few messages, I could tell from the way Travis approached our conversation that this would be an incredibly important moment for the couple. On the day, it was clear that we’d not be getting the bright sun […]
Busan is a really beautiful city to visit in the summer, but it can get really busy. Just before summer, however, you can enjoy a stroll on any of the beaches without too many people around and I highly recommend it. Daryl was quite specific when he reached out, though, that he didn’t want his proposal to be on one of the beaches. He wanted something a little different that they could explore together. So, I gave a few suggestions […]
Jeju Island is an absolute paradise for an autumn proposal photoshoot, but it can come with the challenges of the seasonal change. These include unpredictable weather, and the shifting timing of the seasons. In this post, we’ll explore Si Chuan and Lussandra’s big day and everything that went into it. When we started planning, Si Chuan and I had initially settled on the beautiful silver grass at Saebyeol Oreum as the location for his proposal. But as the summer wrapped […]
Patrick and Lisa were visiting during the hottest and most humid month of the year, August. During these months, there’s nothing quite like the cooling ocean breeze. So, I was happy to hear that they’d been watching “When Life Gives You Tangerines” and wanted a view of the ocean on Jeju for this shoot. Initially, Patrick asked about the Yongmeori Coast on southwest Jeju, but I quickly suggested that it’s not a great place for a proposal. The rocks there […]
