The resulting photos have been praised for sensibly capturing the pristine natural scenery of Jodo, further highlighting the unique appeal of island weddings.

Namhae-gun plans to host its first private eco wedding event on June 14. This event is designed as a small, customized wedding that embraces the natural environment and sentiment of Jodo, and the county is currently recruiting couples to participate.

Selected couples will be provided with a wedding styled using natural materials, as well as a professional wedding photo shoot. Guests will receive a welcome kit featuring Namhae specialties and sentimental goods.

On the day of the ceremony, a small concert and catering program will also be held, offering guests special memories amid the tranquil scenery of Jodo.

An official from Namhae-gun stated, "We will continue to expand differentiated wellness tourism content that leverages the beautiful natural environment of Jodo, contributing to attracting tourists and revitalizing the local economy."
