Korea has one of the most vibrant economies in Asia. Despite war with neighboring North Korea and having been entangled, involuntarily, in East-West proxy wars, Korea has become a model nation.

Korea, another name for South Korea, has successfully rebuilt its economy and infrastructure. Industries have been rebuilt, remodeled, improved, and put to good use for the common use of the country’s citizens.

Korea is not just a model for Asia; it has become a model for most countries included in reports of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Korea is now one of the top success stories of the OECD and the country has one of the highest median and per capita income in the world.

That success has opened Korea’s doors to the outside world, while at the same time the country has maintained its old traditional values. That means many Koreans readily travel to the West and bring back ideas and trends. It also means other countries in Asia can get a better glimpse of what Korea has done for itself and imitate its successes.

So it is no mystery that Korean businesses want to learn ...
... and expand. One of those professions is Korean photography.

Korean wedding photography has been one beneficiary. Wedding photography in Korea has always been popular and many photography studio houses have existed for long years.

But the art of Korean pre-wedding photo shoot has changed with the changing customs of the country.

In the old days, Couples would just go to a photo studio for such shots before the wedding. While the studios helped the bride, and maybe the groom, with some logistics such as makeup and attire, it was not a given.

Many Korean families still use Korean wedding photo studios, such as Wish & Co., and many of them have expanded by opening Korean pre-wedding photo shoot studios in other cities in Korea.

But many have also had to rethink the way they run their business. Nowadays, many couples prefer outdoor Korean pre-wedding photo shoots. They prefer to have their pictures taken in romantic or scenic locations in their city, be it the capital Seoul or elsewhere.

Korean wedding photography also has become such a big business that many large wedding halls or luxury hotels –where many such weddings take place these days—have contracted international wedding consultants who have put together Korea wedding package that include all wedding services from food, flowers, and drinks to music and photography.
