Carrying on from my last post, I wanted to share another sunrise proposal on Jeju Island. A question I often get with surprise proposals is “How can we make it as private as possible?” The simple answers to this are timing and location. As a general rule, Koreans, especially when on holiday, are not early risers. Case in point, coffee shops in Seoul don’t tend to open before 10am! So, if you’re willing to get up early, peace and solitude […]
This proposal was one of those that all just slotted into place simply and easily. Arron reached out with a rough idea of what he was hoping for, which is always a great place to start. He knew that he wanted a bouquet of flowers, a violinist playing nearby, and somewhere relatively private with some nature around to propose.

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, […]
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 […]
One question I get quite frequently when it comes to planning a proposal photoshoot is “How can I get to a specific location at a specific time and not tip my partner off?” There are quite a few different ways you can go about this. But, most of them require you to be quite deft and leave a lot to chance on the day. One way that can work really well is to broach the idea of doing a couple […]
