Greg Samborski Photography

Working with Greg was like a dream come true. I know it sounds corny – but it’s true. Soon after Zach and I got engaged, I started envisioning engagement photos set in Korea with traditional Korean scenery and all the elements of the country and culture that we have come to love. My visions were quickly crushed when I realized that the art of “Engagement Photos” was a completely different concept here. I wanted something that captured the relationship that Zach and I have built as well as the place that has come to mean so much to us… not an overpriced day long dress-up session! I was so lucky to find Greg online and after looking over his work I was convinced he was absolutely our best option. You can see his passion for photography in his work, and you can definitely feel it during the shoot. He loves what he does and it makes the experience all the better. Within a few days of my first email to Greg, we had set up a time and place for our session. He was incredibly quick and efficient in all aspects – from finding a time and location to getting us our photos in a timely manner and following up with us after receiving them. Zach and I were both really impressed with all the hard work Greg put into our photos. He scoped out the location and arrived the day of our shoot with multitudes of ideas and locations in the palace. There was never a question of “What do we do next?” Greg was well prepared and we were able to get so many incredible photos from just a 3 hour session. To top it off, his wife made a beautiful bouquet for me that has inspired several ideas for our own wedding flowers. Zach and I are so happy with our photos and we would recommend Greg to anyone looking for a professional, devoted, and affable photographer.

My Husband and I were posted to Seoul for work. Amidst our busy schedules we decided to work with Greg to capture some photographs of our time there. The process was easy and fun! It started with him asking us what type of photos and setting we would like. He then proposed a few sites which would give us the perfect backdrop to create the images we wanted. We even had specific requests to include architecture lines in the photo creations and Greg gave us the most wonderful experience and memories that we have treasured for years now. Recently we had an IT accident and I lost the soft copies of our photos. It has been years but we are grateful that Greg managed to retrieve our photos and sent them back to us in Singapore. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a special experience and creating some wonderful memories through photography to contact Greg!

Greg's the best! Would highly recommend for a photoshoot of any style. Greg is very good at working with client needs, realizing their vision, and exceeding their expectations. Always patient, always smiling, and full of passion, every shoot I've worked on with Greg has gone smoothly!

At first, I was extremely nervous about being shot by a professional photographer. I only found out about the shoot a few days in advance as it was booked as a birthday gift. I did not have a location, theme or vision in mind on top of having a very tight schedule that weekend. In the days leading up to the shoot Greg was very easy to get a hold of when I couldn’t make up my mind about what I was going to do. He was extremely flexible. Not only did he accommodate a last minute date change, he also found the most amazing location and adjusted his schedule to ensure that could get the perfect lighting for the shoot! My nervousness immediately went away when greeted by Greg. His friendly and easy-going attitude made it easy to get comfortable and be natural. For a while I forgot I was even doing a photoshoot. Although Greg was relaxed, he continuously gave great direction and feedback throughout. I didn’t want the shoot to end! Greg made the photos available online almost immediately after the shoot. Every shot was amazing. The hardest part was choosing the ones I liked the most. The photo shoot with Greg has been a major highlight of my time here in Korea. I hope to book another shoot with him in the summer. Thank you, Greg! NT

My husband and I were looking for a photographer who could do our engagement & wedding photo and it was especially a little more challenging for both of us as we wanted to do a hiking engagement photo. Miraculously, we found Greg and he did an AMAZING JOB taking our hiking engagement photo. After one meeting at a coffee shop, he had his planned out the hiking trail (of which he hiked many times before knowing the good photo spots) and we went up the Bukhansan mountain for the photoshoot. Greg was all geared up with his camera, lights and even a Bluetooth speaker! The photos came out amazing and not just us but everyone who saw the pictures LOVED it. AND the wedding photos - I received the wedding photos last night and my my.. All the photos are JUST THE WAY I WANTED and WHAT I DREAMED ABOUT. We wanted to capture all the casual, fun atmosphere that we had during our wedding, having a good time with the people we like and Greg’s photos were EXACTLY THAT! Greg was busy finding the good photo spots and taking photos in various angles and he even made an impromptu photo zone to take pictures! Greg also edited photos a bit to make them look more natural and sometimes also in black & white or in one tone depending on the light settings, which made all the pictures look gorgeous. Once again, such a big big thank you to Greg for the unforgettable and lovely engagement AND the wedding photos!!

Working with Greg was such a pleasure. We hired him to take some photos of us to commemorate our 1st wedding anniversary. We live in another city in Korea and were coming into Seoul just for the weekend. We contacted him last minute, and we were very lucky that he was available to do the photo shoot. We told Greg that we wanted some shots in a traditional Korean setting, but we also wanted a few shots with a cityscape background, and he suggested the perfect location. From the moment he arrived, he put us as ease. My husband really dislikes having his photo taken, but he had a lot of fun during our photoshoot. Gregg suggested playing a game of 'I Spy' while we walked around the palace grounds, and it worked to really get my husband to relax. I've never had so many pictures of my husband laughing and smiling and looking relaxed like that. We had so many beautiful photos, it was hard to narrow it down! Gregg was professional, personable, and fun to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!

Out of all decisions we made for our Korean engagement and wedding, hiring Greg was the best decision we made. Greg was so easy to work with. From our very first meeting, he wanted to get to know us so he could make our photography sessions as memorable and smooth as possible. Greg was always professional, on-time, and positive. When the location for our engagement shoot didn't quite work out, Greg was amazing at improvisation. Both our sessions together were really fun and we spent the whole time bouncing ideas off each other for interesting shots. All our pictures turned out gorgeous. We seriously could not have asked for a better photographer. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!

We hired Greg and his team for our recent annual conference in Seoul, South Korea, to document the opening ceremony and two main social events. I am a photographer myself so I know what a challenge this can be. I was extremely impressed and very happy with the set of images that they produced for each event. The use of light and color and their ability to capture the mood of the delegates is fantastic. We'll be using the images to help promote future events as they did such a great job. I would definitely recommend Greg to anyone organizing corporate events.
