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.
Over 13+ Years of Photographic Excellence
I have worked as a professional photographer for over thirteen years now. This deep passion drives me to explore many different creative fields. By using various professional techniques, I challenge different photographic subjects. My expertise covers everything from weddings to Airbnb and family portraits. A flexible work schedule allows me to provide consistent service throughout the seasons.
Mastering Light from Interiors to Weddings
The wedding off-season is the peak time for indoor space photography. With rich experience in interior design, I have a key professional advantage. This allows me to control complex indoor wedding lighting smartly. I understand outdoor light and know how to optimize indoor environments. To ensure clarity, I make the main subjects always stand out in any scene. This cross-field technical fusion is a professional feature I truly value.
Cinematic Style and Technical Precision
I am very clear about my aesthetic goals and quality standards. Thirteen years of experience means I have precise control over every shoot. My outdoor shooting skills are also excellent and feel very cinematic. I can perfectly master various weather and complex natural light sources. Choosing my service means choosing a blend of professionalism and passion. Instead of following trends, I focus on creating timeless images for my clients.

Services
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.

I am an official member of the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers (ISPWP),

Membership is granted through a rigorous review process based on portfolio quality, experience, and professional ethics — representing a global mark of trust and artistic excellence in wedding photography.
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.
MY APPROACH
As a wedding photographer in Harrogate, I take a hands-on approach from planning to the final edit. I believe a great image should feel like a genuine memory, not a staged production.
Genuine Memories, Not Staged Scenes
Every great image should feel like a genuine memory. I avoid staged productions in my wedding photography. From planning to the final edit, I take a hands-on approach. This ensures your story remains authentic and true. You deserve photos that reflect your real emotions.
An Unobtrusive Presence
The best photos happen when you forget the camera. My style is entirely unobtrusive during your big day. Blending into the background like a guest is my priority. This allows me to capture honest and fleeting moments. I create a relaxed environment without any "posed" awkwardness. You can simply be yourselves while I document the joy.
Technical Excellence and Cinematic Detail
Sony Hong Kong once invited me to showcase their revolutionary cameras. This prestigious experience deepened my commitment to technical excellence.
