A Magical Spring Day in Seoul - Dressing up in traditional Hanbok and walking through the palace was amazing. Our photographer Jonathon did a wonderful job capturing both serious and funny moments with our family at several locations throughout the palace. We were fortunate that the weather was nice. Overall a fantastic experience that we recommend to anyone visiting Seoul!

Try Something Different! - Visited the place on another tour and returned for traditional pictures in Hanbok with family. We have so many great pictures. Transportation and hanbok rental are taken care of and then you have a professional photographer with you for 2-3 hours. So much better than selfie sticks and trading a camera back and forth with family members. Wife is Korean American and this was a must on her list to do and she was thrilled with results.

Wonderful Experience - Excellent cultural experience. The photos were very professional too. I liked the hanbok choices and the palace was lovely. We saw the changing of the guards and even got to take photos with the well dressed royal guards. Edwina R from Washington DC.

Worth it! - Thought it was a bit pricey at first, but you definitely get what you pay for! The hanbok rental was a bit chaotic, but once you’ve picked out your outfit, it’s smooth sailing from there. Very pleased with the photos. Great way to commemorate your visit to Korea.

Family hanbok taking - Our photographer was Jonathan . He arrived on time to pick us up and ferry us to the hanbok rental shop which was chosen by us. He was very meticulous in taking care of our needs and help us took many beautiful photos of our family. He make sure to fulfil our needs on the kind of photo we wanted. He is great at making conversions and his English language is very good.he give us advice on how to pose to make us look great on the camera. I greatly recommend him for photo taking.

Amazing Hanbok Photoshoot experience! Highly recommend! - Our photographer was Dave and he was fantastic! Picked us up at our AirBnB which was not easy to find, but he did, so right off the bat we were impressed. His van was roomy for our family of 5 and stocked with water bottles for us. He spoke English well so could converse easily with us. He made our 3 teenaged children feel very relaxed and comfortable, so that their true personalities could come out in the photos. Dave not only took photos, but told us a lot of history of the places he took us to. Within a week, we had a file full of beautiful photos, several of which he edited and touched up. I will add, there was a lot of walking around, so this may not be a good experience for elderly or really young children, though maybe there could be accomodations for special circumstances (shorter time, less walking, just take photos in one spot?). For our family with 3 teenagers and 2 parents, walking around for several hours to many different beautiful locations, this was well worth the time and money, and we highly recommend this photoshoot experience. Thank you!

Wonderful Hanbok Photoshoot with Dave - Our photographer Dave is a very nice person who made us feel free to take pictures, allowing us to enjoy the scenery around us and showing us the particularities of the place. My daughter and I loved the photos that were taken and were pleasantly surprised by all the help Dave gave us. We definitely recommend Dave for this immersive experience with the place through the photos, it's an incredible memory of our trip!

Hanbok Photoshoot Tour in Seoul with Jonathan - A big thank you to Jonathan for taking such great pictures of my mum and I while providing an informative tour. He arrived early and was super friendly right from the beginning to make us feel comfortable. Jonathan knew the history of the palace well, and all the "secret" locations around that would make for great photos whilst not having a crowd. He also made sure that my mum was okay while we were walking around, and kept a bottle of water for us throughout the whole tour. I am usually quite camera shy but you won't need to worry about that, Jonathan will make you feel comfortable and even give tips on how to pose! He speaks great english and is a great conversationalist, super considerate too! Highly recommend him to everyone!

Hanbok Photoshoot with Jay - Our first impression when meeting Jay was his punctuality. We also love the fact that he arrange a small Hanbok rental shop that is well known for its cleanliness standard instead of a bigger shop with a questionable cleanliness. We had a great time with Jay as he is kind and friendly. Not only did he answer ‘every silly question,’ he did so with humility. That humility and respect will go a long way in the eyes of your customer 😃
