Surprise Proposal Photoshoot in Seoul

(Albert & Mimi)


Albert contacted me from Spain for his surprise proposal photoshoot two weeks in advance before coming to Korea to propose his Korean girlfriend. :) We discussed the photoshoot date, time, and locations. Albert decided on Han River Yeouido Park because the couple can go for E-land Cruise dinner experience after the shoot ^^



To fix the proposal photoshoot location we discussed various options, however, Albert went an extra mile and scouted this beautiful spot with the lake views and traditional hanok building in the background. We fixed the proposal signal as "Albert gives phone to his girlfriend to show some photos". :)

On the photoshoot day, we shared our live locations and decided to reach the spot before the time to see if the place is not occupied by other people. We can always change the spot but luckily, it was all perfect and there were not many people due to raining all day :P It was a thunderstorm forecast on that day, but we were all prepared to do the proposal shoot as planned. Albert was also worried, but I assured him that the photoshoot in the rain gives more romantic feel :) After the proposal signal, Albert proposed his girlfriend... see the photos below:


At the time of the shoot, we communicated with each other about our location and that we are ready. I was in the far distance when the couple moved towards the location. I was all ready with my camera and taking pictures of the trees for no reason :D However, I was keeping my eye on the couple as I was waiting for the signal. :) Due to rain, it was all pretty and lush green...

Albert's fiancé (Mimi) was so emotional after the surprise proposal (*pictures not added in this blog post). Also, let me just admit that I was also emotional and happy *I always get teary eyes seeing the couple happy ;) I went ahead and greeted the newly engaged couple. When Mimi saw me and realized about all this plan, she was really shocked and started smiling :) hehe ^^See the couple's engagement photos below, they just turned out super lovely! :)

It's definitely one of the best proposal shoot I have ever done with the AMAZING couple Albert & Mimi. They both are so lovely and charming :)

This surprise proposal was so much fun and seeing them happy made me really happy~ ^^

  3. Namsan Park (beautiful in Autumn)

  4. Haneul Sky Park in Spring or Autumn :)
