A guide for couples flying in

Pre-wedding photos and film in Korea.

What it costs, what you get, and how a day with us works. Written for couples who live abroad and fly in for the shoot.

What it costs

Two ways to do it.

Every package comes with both a film and the photographs. A photographer and a filmmaker work side by side, on the same day, in the same light.

Who brings what

You bring the two of you. We carry the day.

You bring

  • Your outfits and stylingThe styling is yours. We talk through the mood, the wardrobe and any props on a call before the day.
  • One rough dateThat is enough to start. The exact day is settled on a call before you fly.

We bring

  • A photographer and a filmmakerSide by side, so your photographs and your film come out of the same light.
  • Direction in your languageEnglish, Korean and Tagalog. Nothing goes through an interpreter.
  • The places and the timingEvery scene gets a scouted place and a time chosen for its light. You never manage the day. We do, including the bags.
How it works

From the first message to the film.

  1. Send a messageWhatsApp, Instagram, LINE or KakaoTalk. One rough date is enough to start. Dianne reads every message herself and answers within a day. No deposit to start.
  2. A callWe talk about the two of you and which film fits. For a full day, this is the pre-meeting, well before the day.
  3. The planWe choose the places and time each one to its light. For a full day, the conversation becomes a written treatment you read and correct before the shoot.
  4. The dayWe direct in plain English and keep the day moving. You never manage the schedule.
  5. The films and the photographsOur photographer and filmmaker shoot side by side, so the film and the edited photographs come from the same day. A full day also comes with a teaser to send as your save-the-date and a vertical cut for Reels.
When to come

Two short seasons, and the rest of the year.

Cherry blossomSeoul usually blooms in the first half of April. Each tree is at its fullest for about a week.
AutumnThe color peaks from mid-October into November, and the exact days move with the weather.
All yearEvery film on our Stories page has its own season. Blossom and autumn fill first, so a few weeks' notice is worth it for those two.
