MY JOURNAL

When I met Hendrik and Dorette this quote immediately came to mind. They were warm and welcoming from the first “hello” and their love for life and each other was lovely. The couple are two South African expats who have been living in South Korea for a couple of years but are sadly saying goodbye and so they wanted to celebrate their upcoming anniversary “korean style”.

When Seoyoon contacted me for her pre-wedding photos she knew exactly what she wanted: greenery, romance and beautiful lighting. I’m always thrilled when brides know what they want because then I can design a specific plan to deliver beautiful images just as they imagined. Only this time I was very concerned. It was in the peak of summer with very unpredictable showers and so I recommended that we change her plan a little bit to suit an indoor session. She said “Don’t worry. It will be perfect weather. I know it.” And so our plans for outdoor photos went forth.

On a warm and beautiful Spring day in Damyang, Mike and Sun-young invited their closest family and friends to celebrate their wedding, a day full of love, promises and cocktails. We started the day off getting ready in Gwangju and we jetted of to a very beautiful (albeit busy) Metasequoia Road in Damyang to get a few portraits before the ceremony.
