Well, I've just signed with them as they have plenty of indoor scene compare to other shop we saw in SS 2. hopefully the experience will be good. I will keep your guys updated.

anyone took their package mind to share more information here?


some info sharing for those who are interested to go korea for their bridal photo shooting

I was interested to take our bridal photo shooting in korea.
We managed to contact a Taiwanese lady who married a korean who offers help for oversea couple in arrange bridal shot in korea with RM300~rm400 service charge.
However, after some budgeting we found that the minimum amount of $$ needed is too much for us.

cheapest packaged offered from local studio - RM6800 ++ (including make up studio, bridal shop and photo shooting)
Flight- rm1200 per pax from Airasia from KL to Seoul Rm2400
Accommodation -Rm350 per night (Assumed that we will go there for 5 days including honeymoon, Rm1400) - A typical korean bridal photo shooting will need 3 days
Food + shopping (Rm 2000)?? i am sure ...this is not enough
Agent Service charge rm400

In total, minimum rm13k needed
-no grown and suit for couple on actual day so you need to rent/buy your wedding grown/suit in malaysia.

At the end, my gf agreed that maybe we should look for a local bridal shop instead..

Package RM5k (tk out big photo, big album and other small stuff that i cant recall)

1st service review - Overall service for trying the gown is good biggrin.gif . I'm quite impressed with the Korean make up artist help recommend my wife what type of gown suitable for her. They don't have much colour dress wedding dinner because korean style mostly all white and i have no problem with this. We manage to finish choose gown for photo shoot and actually day in 3 hours. Important date like photo shot, flower to set up wedding car, collect and return of gown are pre-agreed and explained by Carmen.
So far there are no unhappy event happen yet. smile.gif

Hello all, back from the photoshot in their local studio.
the good thing is the local make up artist and photographer are kind and helpful. Probably we didn't request give much trouble.
my wife like their make up and her hairdo and i'm quite satisfied with their service during photoshot in the studio. The photographer really did a great job and brief us before he start the photoshot.
When come to choose photo they will recommend the quantity of photo that suitable for the album so basically we didn't add any extra photo.
The con is that they promised us either a korean make up artist or korean photographer will be doing the photoshot but end up both have problem. The make up artist went for surgery and the photographer work permit cannot be renew so coincidence.
After discussion with their manager, We ask for something in return and they are able to fulfill our request.
Basically me and my wife are happy with their service after the photoshot.
Will keep you all updated before the actual day.

Hi All, Back again, Just went to collect the photo album. And they give a different type of photo album instead of what we choose.

Service wise = Lousy, except the camera man and make up artist.

Hi Slingwish,

So sorry to hear this. Sometimes need to keep away all the pre wed bridal fair booth. At least you can enjoy your marriage moment with your loves one.

my wife and I just got our photo album which shot in Korea. the photos are nice but we are reli sad over things that Oriental Kingdom did/promised :

1. no coordination btw Korea & Malaysia. we always scared of poor coordination so we went to Korea studio a day earlier from our photo shoot day. to our surprise, our schedule is not in the morning as promised. we had to reschedule and there goes our 1 day in Korea.. we had to burn some of our visiting tickets that we booked early.

2. guess what? my attire is stated 3 sets of coats. great. but Korean gave me 3 different set of bow ties instead. what a laugh.

3. wife feel very sad for the whole trip. not fun. lol..

4. the lady boss promised us compensation over the phone when we are in Korea.. but to no prevail after writing tonnes of emails and spoke to the Malaysia HQ. they can't do anything, the lady boss always not in Malaysia anymore. fml.

although the service is lousy but we can see there is improvement after new manager came in. take ur own risk but I don't dare to recommend this to anyone. sorry.

I have not even sign up for their prewedding photoshoot but already received bad customer service from them. What's more if I take their offer? Honestly if paying them so much, I expect something better in return. Furthermore if you are taking their packages for photoshooting in Korea? Hey not cheap! Plus limited gowns in their KL studio too (You may check it out their studio office). For those of you (like me) who is looking for prewedding photoshoot in Korea, please check out more before you decide on Korea M Studio. Thank you.
