Winter in Seoul has a quiet, romantic charm of its own with soft golden sunsets, crisp air, and the calm beauty along the Samojeong Pavilion, located by Jidang Pond, and Yeouijeong Pavilion. Yeouido Park is one of the most beautiful and underrated locations for a surprise proposal photoshoot in Seoul, especially during golden hour in winters. I recently captured a beautiful secret winter proposal at Yeouido Park, and the natural emotions, laughter, and sunset light made it truly unforgettable.
If you’re planning to propose in Seoul and looking for the perfect outdoor winter proposal location with professional photography, this blog will walk you through how to get to Yeouido Park, what to expect during your proposal, and how I secretly capture your once-in-a-lifetime moment in true paparazzi style. :)
🌅 What to Expect During a Golden Hour Winter Proposal at Yeouido Park Samojeong Pavilion
A winter sunset at Yeouido is soft, warm, and incredibly cinematic. The sky slowly turns golden, then pink, while the water on the pond reflects all those colors beautifully.
Here’s what your proposal experience usually looks like:
You arrive casually as a couple for a “normal walk.” I stay completely hidden nearby with a long lens, blending into the environment like a tourist or a nature photographer. As you walk toward the pre-planned spot, I quietly prepare. When you kneel and propose, I capture:
The moment of surprise
The laughter, shock, and tears
The natural hugs and joy
The exact second of “YES”
Right after the proposal, I reveal myself and we continue with a romantic couple portrait photoshoot afterwards during the golden sunset time.
What you receive:
Golden hour proposal photos
Romantic engagement portraits
A complete visual love story in one session

❄️ Winter Proposal Tips for Yeouido Park
Winter proposals are magical but need a little preparation. I always advise:
Wear neutral winter coats (beige, black, brown photograph beautifully)
Layer up to stay warm without bulky jackets
Comfortable walking shoes
Avoid carrying large backpacks
Keep gloves off during the proposal moment for natural hand photos
Don’t worry — I remind you of all these details before your shoot day.
