Aloysius and Fiona first met through schoolmates when they were studying at the Institute of Technical Education. When they planned for a holiday in Korea, Aloysius decided that he wanted to propose to Fiona there.
With the help of our photographers, Gayun and Jacob of Brown Sugar, who came up with suggestions for proposal locations after understanding Aloysius’ expectations, he ultimately chose to propose at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP).
Once Aloysius led Fiona to the proposal location, under DDP’s bridge, he passed Fiona the bouquet before getting down on his knees to propose to her.
Gayun and Jacob used the bridge to their advantage, hiding behind the structures to get great shots of the proposal.
After the proposal, Aloysius and Fiona proceeded to hold a photoshoot around the DDP, an ideal photoshoot location with its futuristic architecture and mini gardens located around the plaza.
Aloysius shares that the “photoshoot was great” and that Gayun and Jacob are “friendly” and “professional”, adding that the proposal shoot was a “great first experience for [him and Fiona]”.
