So, you’re coming up to that time in your life where you’re thinking, “I’m ready to commit to this person and build a life together”. I’ve been there and I know how much there is to consider when you’re looking to ask for a hand in marriage. Now, add to that the complexities of organsing the perfect location for this when considering making it happen overseas and wanting a beautiful document of it, as well. It’s quite a daunting task.

Thanks for joining me in this final instalment of the year that was 2024. As it usually is, the final quarter of the year was the busiest for us this year, as well. We had some unexpected turns in the weather that made for some of my favourite sessions of the year. I hope you’ll enjoy this post! October – Proposal, Family, and Event Photography October’s first order of business was a flight down to Jeju Island for Nathan’s […]
Today’s proposal story is one of those ones that truly represents Seoul and the need to be flexible with changing conditions. Seoul threw everything it could at us to ensure the lead-up to this was filled with surprises. Living here, I’m quite used to things going sideways at the last minute, but I can imagine that there must have been moments when Cleon was a little worried about the outcome! But, before we get into that, let’s go back to […]
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 […]
This is the final post in my 2022 Year in Review series. The final quarter of this year saw Korea’s border control relax even more and, with that, a massive influx of visitors from abroad. This may be the busiest we have ever been during the final quarter of the year. This will be a long post, so please do get a cup of tea and settle in. Many of these sessions will also become full blogs as 2023 progresses, […]
Welcome back to my annual Year in Review series of blogs. This is a great place to get an overview of all the different work that I do and see a little of Korea in the process. I have been doing these now for several years and previous editions can be seen here. Typically, the first few months of the year are quiet for us as the weather is still cold. Usually, there are a few photoshoots here and there, […]
It seems like forever since I worked with the Venneman family. But with summer winding down and the promise of cooler temperatures on the horizon, I remembered our gorgeous December family photoshoot. This was a whirlwind session to keep all three children on our side as the temperatures approached zero. Michelle and Trevor had reached out earlier in the year and we’d talked about making family pictures as their adoption was finalised. Unfortunately, by the time they had a custody […]
Happy New Year, everyone! In this first post of the year, we’ll take a look at a winter family photography session with the Hirashiki tribe from back in December. As I write this, the Han River is frozen and the temperature is well below zero. Thankfully for this session, the cold hadn’t truly settled in yet and we had quite a nice day with a high of 9°C. Coupled with the beautiful soft light from an overcast sky, it was […]
Today’s family portrait session is another fun post-custody session. This time, we’re joined by the Cadwell Family. Meredith and I had been in touch for a few months when they finally got the call to come and pick up Samuel. It was right at the beginning of winter and right in the middle of the Christmas rush here, but we found a couple of openings that would work and managed to schedule in a session. We met up in a […]
The Feruglio family reached out to me in early 2018 to let me know that they were to visit Korea for the adoption of their son, Jeong. Lisa was enquiring about something that used to be more common than it is now and I was really excited. We would document their first meeting, custody, and have a family session together after custody. Several months later, I got an email saying that the Feruglios had received their travel dates and asking […]
