Imagine stepping into a scene straight out of a Korean drama, dressed in vibrant hanbok, surrounded by the regal architecture of Gyeongbokgung Palace. This photoshoot experience is designed to help you look and feel your best, with Natasha guiding you through every pose and expression. The experience lasts about an hour, which includes dressing in traditional attire at one of the area’s top hanbok shops. The location at Gyeongbokgung Station Exit 4 is conveniently central, and the session explores the palace’s most photogenic spots.

What Makes This Photoshoot Special?

The key feature here is personalization. Before the shoot, Natasha communicates with clients to understand their preferred themes and styles, ensuring the photos reflect your family’s personality. She provides styling guides tailored to your vibe, which can range from elegant, romantic shots to fun, candid moments. Her fashion design background adds a layer of expertise in helping everyone look their absolute best.

Another standout is the multilingual guide aspect. Whether you speak English, Indonesian, or Korean, Natasha’s fluency ensures smooth communication, making the whole process comfortable and stress-free. She also offers the option to record Reels, TikTok videos, or Shorts, turning your photos into dynamic, shareable memories.

The Itinerary: More Than Just Photos

The session begins at Gyeongbokgung Station Exit 4, where Natasha meets your group. After a quick styling consultation and wardrobe fitting, you’re ready to explore the palace grounds. The photoshoot takes place amid the palace’s iconic architecture, including the grand gates, traditional buildings, and scenic courtyards.

What really sets this experience apart is Natasha’s eye for detail. She offers pose and expression coaching, ensuring your photos look natural yet polished. We loved the way she mixes fun and elegance to keep everyone engaged, especially with children. As Alexandra noted, Natasha “worked extremely well with my 4 children (aged 1-10 years) and showed us around,” making the session not only beautiful but also enjoyable.

The Final Product and Extras

Your package includes 50 professionally color-graded photos, with 5 images receiving extra retouching. This level of editing means your photos will look vibrant and polished, perfect for framing or sharing online. The option for video recordings is available upon request, ideal if you want a dynamic keepsake or social media content.

While the session’s cost is $400 for up to 8 people, it’s important to recognize what this includes. The price covers the photoshoot, styling, coaching, and editing, but not venue entry tickets, which you’ll need to purchase separately if required. Plus, hanbok rental fees start from 15,000 KRW, which adds to the overall investment.
