“Youngsik is a quite nice guy and is easy to deal with.
His pricing was pretty economical, but the result of our prenup photos was way more than what we expected.
You wouldn't know unless you tried.
Thank you Youngsik! 😊”

“We organised a much needed family photoshoot with Youngsik, communicating some needs prior and we’re all so happy with the pictures he captured for us. They mean heaps to us and he took great care in delivering. He was easy to work with, made us feel comfortable and was very patient with our little ones. Highly highly would recommend him and would love to book another photoshoot with him if ever we got the chance to in the future. Thanks Youngsik!”

“We saw Youngsik’s photography style on IG and instantly fell in love with it. Immediately booked a session with him when he had the sunflower sessions going. It was our 1st outdoor photography session with our 3 month old baby and Youngsik was really professional and patient! Photos came back excellent and we are definitely going to be booking back with him in future! Highly recommend if you want warm and light hearted pictures to keep as memories or hang on the wall!!!”

"I had 2 sessions with Youngsik, 1 at home and 1 outdoor with our 12month old, and I am soooo obsessed with his work! The way he uses lighting is so beautiful and he knows exactly where the best spot is for the time of the day and captures the most beautiful moments! Needless to say his price is very reasonable for the quality of the outcome, his time&professionalism. We will be working with him again at every chance. Thank you Youngsik!"
