Had an absolutely amazing photography session in Seoul, doing my proposal and vacation shots in Nami Island! Hired Dwi for the session and I was very impressed by her photography skills that captivated both my fiancee and me! Her experience tells it all as she knows the tips and tricks to all the good shot locations and directed us so smoothly and effortlessly in our posing, yet delivered the kind of shots we wanted, which we are very satisfied with it! Most of all, her service was impeccable as she went above and beyond by going the extra mile to host us and offering to drive us to Nami Island! This was not part of the package, but nonetheless she offered to give us a ride as our hotel is nearby to where she stays. We definitely had a fun and enjoyable time of photography session with her, who has become a friend to us! I will 100% highly recommend her for an...-Joe & EvelynView Photographer profile

We had a great time taking photos with Sidra at the Palace. He was very helpful in organizing the photo shoot, where to rent our Hanbok, and which areas had the best lighting.

It was super hot that day, but he was on time and very efficient. We loved our photos and look forward to our next family vacation. We will most definitely hire Local Lens photographers to capture our memories again.-IrishView Photographer profile
