Surprise Proposal at Secret Garden | Sidiaz Photography, Seoul Couple Photographer
Surprise Proposal Photoshoot at Changdeokgung Palace Secret Garden, Seoul
Lovely engaged couple 💕
Davide travelled all the way from Rome to propose her fiancé in Korea. :)
His first email to me was: "I am writing to you, because I land in Seoul on May 31st at 11 am and I would like to surprise my girlfriend ... and I want to make the proposal in a traditional Korean place, such as a typical temple or a beautiful location.."
We went over lots of location ideas together, however, Davide chose the "Secret Garden" at Changdeokgung Palace due to its uniqueness and beauty~ and I agree that it is indeed a beautiful location. :)
We discussed the suitable time of the shoot while considering the palace closing times (6:00pm).
On the day of the shoot, Davide arrived at the Changdeokgung Palace directly from the airport as there was not much time left to enter the Secret Garden (3:30pm is the last entry). The shoot was planned as Rachel (fiancé) will be with her travel friends while Nancy (tour guide) will be in contact with me (photographer), my videographer, and Davide to update us with any information (see the illustration, hehe). Since, the Secret Garden tour can only happen in groups, Rachel and Davide had to be in the same group, so we kept a cover for him throughout this tour until he proposed. ^^ Rachel would walk 10 steps and we would walk 2 steps to stay as much in the back side of the group. It was kind of an adventure and a top-secret mission to keep Davide hidden 😁
On the signal, Davide quickly walked towards Rachel who was busy with her friends taking selfies... Davide called her, she turned her back, and then...
It was a moment of surprise, disbelief, happiness, and tears..

Such a lovely couple ❤️
This surprise proposal was so much fun to plan from the beginning. I had happy tears in my eyes while capturing their most beautiful moment in life ^^
