Genuine feeling, editorial imagery,
effortless experience,
Forever Framed

Work with ME

I believe that when genuine feeling is met with intention, it becomes something timeless. Not simply a photograph, but something you can return to years from now and still feel.

I want your experience to feel effortless. I guide when needed, create space when needed, and move through your day with quiet intention so you never feel like you're performing for the camera. Instead of focusing only on how your wedding looks, I pay attention to how it feels. The in-between glances, the people who matter most, the moments you never realized were happening.

Through intentional light and guided movement, I create editorial imagery that feels honest, emotional, and deeply personal. As a Korean wedding photographer based in Washington DC, serving couples throughout the DMV and beyond, I create imagery that captures genuine feeling while still feeling elevated, timeless, and true to your story.

Because your wedding photographs should do more than document a day. They should preserve a feeling.

My wife and I cannot recommend Dave and his team highly enough. We first found them on Instagram and immediately fell in love with their photography style, especially how they incorporated the beauty of Washington, DC's monuments and historic landmarks. They photographed both our engagement session and wedding, and the experience was incredible from start to finish. Dave made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and our engagement photos at the Capitol and Jefferson Memorial exceeded every expectation. It felt less like working with a photographer and more like having a trusted friend capture our memories.

When we received our gallery, it felt like reliving the entire day through a beautifully told story.

Dave is an incredibly talented photographer with a remarkable knack for capturing and editing stunning images. Given that a wedding is one of the most significant events in life, I took the time to find the perfect photographer. When I explored his website, I was genuinely impressed by his unique photography style. The results exceeded my expectations, so I decided to print several photos to display around my home. Each time my family experiences a special moment, I reach out to him without hesitation. To date, I've enlisted his services for five sessions, including family portraits and a one-year birthday shoot for my baby. I always come away thrilled with the results. I wholeheartedly recommend him for capturing your life's precious moments.

I find him to be a kind and thoughtful person, which shines through in the warm and beautiful photos he creates.
