Wedding Photographer Harrogate. Welcome to Ian Choi Photography.
As a wedding photographer in Harrogate, I focus on capturing candid moments and cherished interactions. I’m Ian — a photographer, videographer, and dad of two. A good story deserves to be seen — and heard.
My approach is entirely unobtrusive. I believe the best photos happen when you forget the camera is even there. I blend into the background like a guest, capturing the honest, fleeting moments of your day without creating any pressure or "posed" awkwardness. My goal is to ensure a relaxed environment where you can simply be yourselves.
I was fortunate to be invited by Sony Hong Kong as a photographer to showcase their revolutionary first full-frame mirrorless camera at an event. This experience deepened my commitment to technical excellence and high-end detail, which I now bring to every wedding through my expert retouching and cinematic style.
At the end of the day, it’s not about me directing your day — it’s about me documenting your story, exactly as it unfolds.

STORIES I'VE TOLD
These aren’t just photos — they’re pieces of time I’ve held onto. Moments that spoke to me, and hopefully, speak to you too.
MY APPROACH
I'm not just here to take a few nice pictures. Every shoot matters to me — whether it's a big wedding or a quiet portrait session.
From the planning to the shoot, and every bit of editing after, I’m hands-on with every step. Because to me, every image isn’t just a photo — it’s a moment, a memory, a feeling you’ll want to hold onto.
I guide when needed, step back when I should, and always make sure you feel comfortable in front of the lens. Whether you're after natural candids or a bit of editorial flair, I’ve got you.
You’re trusting me with something precious — and I’ll give it everything I’ve got.
Why I charge what I charge — and why it’s worth it
I know choosing a photographer is a big decision — and I never take that lightly.
What you’re investing in isn’t just a gallery of images. It’s presence. It’s trust. It’s a pair of eyes that notice the quiet, meaningful moments — and hold onto them for you.
From our first message to the final delivery, I’m here to offer more than a service.
Being featured by the BBC was both an honour — and a quiet reminder.
Recently, I had the privilege of speaking to BBC News about my thoughts and experience photographing cherry blossoms in Harrogate.
But to me, it wasn’t just about the exposure — it was a chance to speak about something I’ve always believed in:
Telling stories through photographs.
