  • Wear a plain, light layer underneath — the hanbok goes on over it
  • Flat shoes are best; the palace grounds are gravel
  • We shoot in any weather except heavy rain, when we reschedule at no charge
  • Edited photos arrive by download link the same evening
  • Gyeongbokgung is closed on Tuesdays
