Amazing Hanbok Photoshoot!
I booked the hanbok photoshoot with my husband and my mom. Daniel was a knowledgeable and professional photographer that took the lead in finding the absolute best spots for pictures. He is good at directing you but will also let you do your own thing and take the best photos! He had a good mix of candid and posed photos, which was exactly what we wanted. He has a good eye for good angles and the return time for the photos was one day! We were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out. A very talented photographer and we're so glad we booked with Hab Korea for this photoshoot!

Memorable experience
Our photoshoot experience was so memorable and smooth. There were hanbok rental shops all along the streets near Gyeongbokgung palace and exit 4 of the metro station where we met our photographer, Miss Jeon. The earlier the better as shops and the palace can get busier, but the the palace grounds are so beautiful and large that it is easy to find private corners for photos. Miss Jeon was so friendly and comfortable to work with. We appreciated her professionalism and skill.
