Pre-wedding Photo Session –
STUDIO H
Welcome
Hello! We’re STUDIO H, Korean photographers based in Melbourne.
We create pre-wedding photo sessions that feel natural, intimate, and timeless, focusing on the quiet moments that truly reflect who you are as a couple.
From the initial consultation to the shoot, editing, and final retouching, everything is handled in-house.
We do not outsource to external photographers or editors, allowing us to maintain a consistent visual style and full creative control throughout the entire process.
Why Outdoor Pre-wedding Photos
After photographing many couples in a controlled studio setting, we found ourselves wanting to explore something more emotional and atmospheric.
That curiosity led us to introduce outdoor pre-wedding sessions in Melbourne.
These sessions are about capturing your connection in the city’s ever-changing moods. From fresh, green daylight to softer, overcast skies that feel calm, intimate, and quietly sentimental. We embrace Melbourne’s natural light and surroundings while staying true to our warm, natural style.
For couples considering an outdoor pre-wedding session, please keep in mind:
If you have a specific location or route in mind, planning ahead is recommended, as conditions and movement can vary by area.
If you’d like to combine different moods or locations within one shoot, we offer a flexible combined package designed to make the most of your time together.
Tag us on Instagram (@studioh.cbd) to receive one extra retouched photo as a small thank-you.
