Ok, so the day before our wedding Mum, Peter & I went to take studio pics in our "hanbok"s (traditional Korean outfits) as my hair was going to be a mixture of Korean and Western on our wedding day and mum & I wanted proper traditional pics. It was a bit stressful doing it the day before the wedding but we couldn't do it any sooner 'cause the studio / photographer was busy and the entire outfit didn't arrive till a few days before the wedding.
I don't know how much longer these photos are going to be available but definitely have a look if you can!
I've finally made my selection as to the ones we're going to have printed. Our original agreement with the studio was that they'd take about 20 pics and we'd choose 10 but the photographer got really excited when he saw me and went completely snappy-happy! They uploaded 40 of the pics they thought were best and of them I've chosen 20 - oops! I asked a few people for their opinions asking them to choose between 10 - 20. My sister chose 22 and my mum chose 34! So I think I've done pretty well. :)
The delight of the photographer was in complete contrast to the horror on Peter's face when he saw how much make-up the make-up artist had put on my face. I came out of the car with full make-up, hair done and in my hanbok and he just looked horrified! Poor thing... He had to make a real effort to smile in those pics 'cause every time he looked at my face he kept on getting upset! :)
Past midnight now and have a morning meeting tomorrow regarding the Korean School Yearbook I'm working on so must go to bed.
Let me know what you think of the pics and have a look quick before they disappear as I'll be emailing them tomorrow with my choices so they might take them off once they start working on them. I'll see if they can leave it for about a week or so.
Good night lovelies! :)

PS: Technically speaking, the outer garments I put on later isn't actually "hanbok" as it's ceremonial wear so it's called "hwalot" but everyone tends to call any part / combination of the traditional Korean costume "hanbok". The term "hanbok" definitely isn't as well known as the Japanese "kimono" which is a shame but it's our own fault as Koreans aren't very good at taking pride in and "selling" our own culture, history, and very beautiful country! :)
