Amazing experience for me and my partner. Mike was the best, he walked us through the whole process and translated for us. He helped take a lot of behind the scenes photos and videos which was above and beyond. We were laughing and having fun throughout the whole shoot. Staff were very funny and lovely to work with. If you want a great prewedding shoot experience then definitely choose this.

Please follow their advice and eat before the shoot. It is a 4 hour long shoot plus 2 hours of hair and makeup prep beforehand.
But we didn't really notice because time flew by. Honestly, one of the best experiences.

This wedding photography experience was truly enjoyable and left me with many unforgettable memories.
From the very first preparations, I felt the dedication of the team. The makeup artist carefully understood my desired style and then adjusted the makeup according to my face shape and overall appearance, achieving a natural and attractive effect without over-dramatization. The styling process was also thorough; they checked every detail, which made me feel very relaxed.
During the wedding dress fitting, the assistant was incredibly kind, patiently helping me adjust the skirt and other details. The whole process was stress-free and made me feel relaxed and well-groomed.
The atmosphere on the day of the shoot was wonderful. At first, I was worried that I would not be photogenic and might look stiff, but the photographer was very professional and skillful in managing our poses and facial expressions, gradually helping us to get into the right mood. The whole shoot was enjoyable and flew by; time seemed to fly by.
The biggest surprise was seeing the final photos. Each one was of high quality, with great lighting and atmosphere. They weren’t just beautiful; they truly captured the emotions and feelings of the day.
Overall, it wasn’t just a series of wedding photos; it was a complete and comfortable experience.

At first I thought that wedding photoshoots could be a bit formulaic or tiring, but this completely changed my mind.
From the first translation and communication, I felt their dedication; every need was taken seriously, which allowed us to feel more at ease entrusting this important matter to them.
The atmosphere on the day of the shoot was very natural. The photographer did not put any pressure on us; instead, he gently guided us to our own rhythm. Many times I even forgot that I was being photographed; my smiles and communication seemed very sincere.
When I saw the finished photos, I was truly moved. It was not just about beauty; each photo was full of emotion and warmth, as if it perfectly preserved the feelings of that day.
If I had to describe it, this series of photos is more like a memory that can be viewed over and over again.

We had an amazing pre-wedding photoshoot in Korea! The photographer, makeup artist, and staff were all very professional, and the photos turned out beautifully. Mike was incredibly helpful from my first enquiry and even picked us up from our hotel in Myeongdong. Highly recommend!!
If you are thinking about getting wedding photos done in Korea, Chungdam Studio is the place to go.
Booking: I emailed a few months ahead of time and the studio was able to accommodate us for the short time we were in Korea. (They're also super responsive on Instagram!) I put down a deposit for our date to secure our reservation and that was all I needed. Chungdam is unique in that they have a studio at Yongma Land so you can take fun carousel photos at what used to be an amusement park, and night scenes too, if you choose. Multiple packages exist based on what you want.
Looks: So many dresses to choose from, and they'll recommend you choose one ballgown style, one slim style, one vintage style, and a color dress (multiple pastel and black dress options). I loved that hair accessories (tiaras, headbands, etc.), earrings, and shoes were all available in lots of styles. My fiance had multiple suit colors to choose from and showed up with only socks and his own shoes because they had the rest. You're totally able to bring your own props or clothing for any of the looks if you prefer. The hair and makeup stylists on site switch up your hair for the different dresses and can cater to your preferences for how you'd like your hair and makeup done. My makeup artist expertly prepped my skin before applying super natural looking base makeup and lashes that didn't look fake and actually felt comfortable.
Experience: They are true professionals. Everyone on the team was so friendly even though we didn't speak Korean. Mike was our translator for the entire day and also helped take so many behind the scenes photos and videos on my personal phone. It was actually hailing when we took photos on the rooftop and they kindly gave us hand warmers and wrapped me in a blanket between shots. Our photographer expertly told us exactly how to pose so for awkward couples like us, the photos came out looking natural and STUNNING.
Overall: I am so excited for the photos and album to arrive and would recommend Chungdam Studio to anyone who is interested in getting pre-wedding photos in Korea. Chungdam Studio is transparent, communicative, and very good at what they do. We're so happy we decided to go with them!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a pre-wedding photoshoot in Korea, and I can honestly say it was a dream come true. From start to finish, I can feel incredibly blessed to have had such a talented team by my side.
The team was not only professional but also incredibly supportive. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which allowed us to enjoy the moment fully.
Even with the cold, the experience was magical. I am so grateful to the entire team for making our pre-wedding shoot unforgettable. Thank you Chungdam studio again and looking forward to see the photos.

I highly recommend it, professional, fast and organized. The pictures were very beautiful, the ideas were creative and the staff were very friendly.
Mike and team were super helpful throughout the whole process from booking to the end of the photoshoot. We had a super nice bridal assistant who made sure I was warm and comfortable. The photographer also taught us poses and made sure we look natural. They were all so patient with us. It was super fun!
After doing extensive research on Korea pre-wedding photos from Hong Kong, I am so glad that we chose Chungdam Studio as our final decision. My boyfriend and I directly made the reservation with Gisub, the studio's contact person. He was always super friendly and patient in answering all my questions. We just finished the photo shoot last week, and it was a wonderful experience. The environment of both chungdam studio and Yongma studio are nice, and I was super like the night scene’s Merry Go Round
The whole team, including the photographer, MUA, dress helper, and Gisub, was extremely amazing and kind. They were professional, provided lots of useful advice, and gave us great posture guidance with lots of laughter. This really reduced our nervousness and made the day more enjoyable.
The weather was very cold on the day of the shoot, and I especially want to thank the dress helper, 이모. She took great care of me—whenever the filming stopped, she immediately helped me by covering me with a blanket.
Although we spent the whole day shooting, we didn’t feel too tired or overwhelmed. We truly enjoyed this wonderful day. I absolutely want to thank the entire team at Chungdam Studio for making it so memorable

My husband and I highly recommend The Chungdam Studio! We flew from the USA and heard great things about pre-wedding photography in Korea and after shooting at The Chungdam Studio we understand why. The entire team that we had was very skilled, extremely detail oriented, and had great energy/humor to keep us smiling through the shoot! We also appreciated the variety of backgrounds from modern to traditional! Thank you again to the entire Chungdam Studio team!
