We loved gugwa studios! The setup was very flexible and we had this big monitor in front of us so we could see ourselves posing. We also had privacy while shooting so it made us more comfortable and enabled us to enjoy our moment to the fullest. They had very cute props and a range of chairs for us to use freely. The staff were also very nice, helpful, and welcoming. We will definitely come back many times in the future. Thank you gugwa studios!!!

Gugwa is a beautiful photo studio and Soo captures amazing photos while making everyone feel super comfortable. Our family photos turned out great for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

We went to Gugwa for the first time today as a family to take self-service photos and had such a fun experience! With two little kids, we were able to take such sweet photos and the process was so simple and made easy for users. We definitely want to come again!!! So worth it and a great affordable way to capture memories.

It was sooooo fun, we were able to take our own pictures and vibe. It was a fun experience and they have props as well. Very interactive and good for solo and groups! Will be back again

We will definitely be coming back to this place to take photos again in the future. For my wife’s birthday, we took family photos and it was a really good experience. The owner was great and there are so many options of how to take photos.

We randomly found Gugwa's account on Instagram, and I'm so glad we went. It was such a fun experience. Soo provided us with instructions on how to use the equipment and which props to use. He even suggested what pose to take. My friends and I did the self-portraits. There was a big screen for us to see our poses. Furthermore, there were also partitions that provided privacy. I highly recommend that everyone try it out.

We recently went to gugwa studio for our kids 1st photoshoot ! And I would say we found the best photographer in town! Soo was super nice n patience! My baby girl wasn’t feeling good that day so she cried entire time lol so he wanted us to reschedule for another time just to shoot some good pics of her! I was very happy with the results! Him and his team are the BEST! Thank you SOO n of course I would 1000% recommended it!-NaNa-

Absolutely delighted with the passport photo I got here! It turned out so well, and I'm equally confident that their other photos would be just as great. The displayed photos speak volumes about the photographer's impressive skills. Highly recommend this place!

Soo did a fantastic job with the photo, and he is such a nice man and interesting to talk with. He is a real artist with the camera, with an amazing range. We looked through a lot of his portfolio shots and they are stunning in the way he manages to capture people's personalities and portray them naturally. If you have children, I would recommend you don't even consider any other photographer. He has a way of connecting with children and bringing out the most wonderful expressions. Soo has my highest possible enthusiastic recommendation. You will be thrilled with what he is able to do for you.

We loved the friendly manager and the clean and comfortable atmosphere of the studio. He worked well with our boys and helped us to capture a very special time for my family. In particular, my mother wanted to take pictures with her daughters-in-law in hanboks(Korean traditional outfit), and since they also have men's hanboks, it was even more meaningful for her to be able to take pictures with her husband in hanboks as well as with her daughters-in-law. I really appreciated his attention to detail, spending more time than the allotted time and explaining things in detail, and I hope that many other people will be able to make many happy memories in this beautiful and charming studio as much as my family did. Thank you very much once again :)

The best self portrait studio in Chicago area !!! I know that self portrait studios are very popular in South Korea. Such a great concept! I was so happy when I find out that there is one in Glenview. Amazing camera quality, great setup and customer service!
