ABOUT ME
meet your photographer
My family moved to Thailand when I was 12. Going from a standard South Korean public school to a British international school in my early teenage years was a really lonely and painful experience, especially as someone who could not speak English. This is when I started taking photographs of everything I found interesting in Thailand, and shared them on my blog. This gave me an outlet to meet my Korean friends from home and actually have someone to talk to.
Every time I went back to South Korea I took loads of photos of all the moments that meant a lot to me, like the new places I checked out with them or any random details of my hometown; I just really wanted to hold on to each moment of my time in Korea.
Although it was the most painful time I went through, it also brought the best things out into my life. I can now speak English freely, and I started taking photographs, which led me to do this as my full time job. Honestly I find it hard to believe that I get to do this everyday, and capture all the beautiful moments for people and tell the story of their day.
Relationships are an intangible home to many, a valuable home you and your partner created together. I want to capture this meaningful relationship you and your partner built, so that you can feel at home where ever you are just by looking at your photographs. As someone who loves great photos but is not a fan of posing, I worked hard to develop a truly candid wedding photography approach that allows the couples we work with to have fun and feel comfortable.
It’s lovely to meet you, my name is Dayoung. I’ve always appreciated the sentimental value of pictures and how we cherish them more deeply as time passes. Living in different countries and moving a lot growing up, I missed home and struggled to connect with my new place. This is when I started photography, taking pictures of my hometown as a way to remember it and feel comforted when living abroad.
I've been a passionate photographer since the day I discovered my Dads camera and how much joy it could bring people

"We couldn’t be happier with our engagement photo shoot experience with Dayoung! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease, which really shows in the photos. Her warm and friendly personality created such a relaxed atmosphere, and her creative eye ensured every shot was stunning. She truly captured the essence of our relationship in a way that felt natural and authentic. We’ll treasure these photos forever and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond! Thank you Dayoung!"
Alex & matt
"Dayoung shot our engagement photos and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She was super communicative before the session over email and a couple of video calls, which helped us get to know each other and meant that my fiancé and I then felt really comfortable on the day of our shoot. We ended up getting so many gorgeous photos that we cannot wait to use on our wedding website, for our save the dates, and just in general to frame for family and around our home. Thank you so much, Dayoung!"

"Dayoung was fantastic. She has an incredible eye for catching beautiful moments and we knew from our pre-wedding shoot that we had made the best possible choice in choosing her as our photographer. She captured so many moments across our wedding that we'll treasure forever. She is also incredibly easy to chat with and her easy going manner meant we never felt stilted or uncomfortable while having our photos taken. Would recommend her to absolutely everyone!"
