Romantic wedding photos in Korea

Seoul Capital

Seoul is a city with a perfect combination of traditional cultural beauty with modern and unique architectural works.

Changgyeonggung Palace - one of the 5 palaces of Seoul will be the perfect place for classic wedding photos with the 15th-century palaces, the lush green flower gardens located next to the romantic lake. Choose to capture the most beautiful moments of the two of you at the ancient Victorian-style Daeonsil greenhouse located in the heart of Changgyeonggung Palace. Every day, the sunlight will pass through the glass walls and shine down on the indoor garden with a splendid golden color.

If you want to choose a location that reflects the Seoul lifestyle, take your wedding photos in the beautiful space of Haneul Park (Sky Park). The Seoul Metropolitan Government has transformed the area that was once an unwanted landfill into a lush green park, home to about 85 species of plants and about 30,000 butterflies that have been released into the center of the park since 2000. Holding your partner's hand and walking on the path between the undulating reed fields that wave like waves when the wind blows is definitely a romantic experience that no couple can forget. From the park, you can take wedding photos with a panoramic view of Seoul city as well as the beautiful Han River at sunset.

Leaving Haneul Park, find the most ancient and simple features of Korea in Seochon (West Village) - one of the oldest residential areas in Seoul, once home to royal and noble families during the Joseon Dynasty. Sit with your lover in front of the threshold of an old house, no need to pose elaborately, your photo will definitely still have a beauty of peace and happiness.

Finally, don't miss your wedding photo album with a beautiful night view of Seoul from Namsan TV Tower, located on the mountain of the same name in the heart of Seoul. The winding road up the mountain with lush green trees is enough for couples to capture the most romantic frames. End your wedding photo album in the beautiful capital of Seoul with a photo with the background of the city at night sparkling with lights and the Han River winding in the distance.

Nami Island

Being the setting for many famous Korean dramas such as Winter Sonata, Nami Island is an attractive destination and attracts many tourists from all over the world to visit. In particular, this is also the place where many young Koreans choose to take their wedding photos. The tree-lined road that appeared in the drama Winter Sonata is the ideal place for couples to hold hands and capture happy moments.

Jeju Island

Jeju Island with its romantic coastal roads and golden canola flower fields will definitely be the ideal place for couples to capture the most beautiful wedding photos.

Jeju does not have many high-rise buildings but instead has lush green natural scenery and romance hidden in every corner of the island.

Let's hold hands and walk with your loved one on the beautiful road like in the movies at Seopjikoji Beach - the place at the end of the eastern coastal road of Jeju Island. This place was chosen as the filming location for the movie All-in with the participation of two famous Hallyu actors, Song Hye Kyo and Lee Byung Hun.

In spring, the yellow rapeseed flowers that fill the fields at Seopjikoji create a harmonious color with the red of the earth and the blue of the sky. Stepping up the stairs to the nearby lighthouse, future brides and grooms will have beautiful wedding photos with the beautiful blue of the sky and the vast ocean as a backdrop.

When choosing Jeju as a wedding photography location, every couple certainly wants to own a romantic frame on the island's beautiful beaches. Hyeop-jae Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Jeju with fine white sand, clear blue water, sparkling silver from tiny shells. Hyeop-jae's scenery is also highlighted by black basalt rocks and in the distance is Biyangdo fishing island covered in a lush green color of trees.

Leaving the beautiful roads and beaches of Jeju, go to the Seongup Folk Village to capture in your photo album a very unique feature of this island. Unlike the traditional houses in the capital Seoul, traditional houses in Jeju Island have their own unique features with thatched roofs and walls made of solid volcanic stones. This ancient village was once chosen as the setting for the famous drama Dae Jang Geum.

Besides these romantic places, couples can visit Sangumburi Crater – a symbol of a passionate love story from ancient times; Jeju Racecourse (Let's Run Park) – a picturesque green space that gives couples the feeling of filming a Korean drama; or Jeju Stone Park – a place that contains the culture and its own story about the island.

And the sunset on Jeju Island is always impressive no matter where you look at it. Don't forget to capture the moment of exchanging a sweet kiss in the long sunset of Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, the most beautiful place to watch the sunrise and sunset on Jeju Island.
