Some wedding photographs focus only on the couple.
Others capture the entire world surrounding them.
For the creative force behind LEEKYUNGHO PHOTOGRAPHY, the true magic lies in balancing both. With more than fifteen years of experience documenting weddings in Korea and across the globe, the photographer has developed an approach rooted in authenticity, environment, and emotional presence.
“I have been a wedding photographer for 15 years in Korea and launched ‘LeeKyungho Photography’ in 2019 to continue various wedding photography.”
What began as a passion for capturing meaningful moments has grown into a refined artistic practice dedicated to preserving the beauty of weddings exactly as they unfold.
After more than a decade working in the wedding industry, launching LEEKYUNGHO PHOTOGRAPHY in 2019 marked a new chapter — one focused on creative freedom and personalized storytelling.
Fifteen years behind the camera have given Leekyungho a deep understanding of how weddings unfold: the anticipation, the quiet emotions, the moments that pass almost unnoticed but hold lifelong meaning.
At the heart of the work is a simple idea — photography should honor reality rather than reshape it.
When describing his style, Leekyungho focuses on authenticity.
“It focuses on recording beauty as it is without distorting the background and character.”
Rather than manipulating scenes or forcing dramatic staging, he allows the natural environment to play an important role in each image.
His work is particularly known for highlighting scale and atmosphere.
The most confident part is that it captures the grandeur of the background well.
Whether photographing a couple in an expansive landscape, historic architecture, or a quiet urban setting, the surroundings become part of the story — enhancing the emotion rather than competing with it.
Leekyungho relies on professional equipment designed for both speed and precision.
His camera of choice is the Canon EOS R6, a system known for its reliability and exceptional image quality.
This allows him to capture fleeting moments throughout the day while maintaining the clarity and depth required for large-scale compositions and detailed portraits alike.
Post-processing plays an important role in shaping the final image, but always with the goal of enhancing rather than transforming.
“We use a correction method that can be expressed in three dimensions by working on the background and the person separately.”
This technique allows both the environment and the subject to maintain their presence within the frame. The result is imagery with depth, balance, and a subtle sense of realism.
Instead of flattening the photograph, the editing process emphasizes spatial harmony — bringing the viewer deeper into the scene.
For Leekyungho, the most rewarding part of photography isn’t technical.
It’s human.
“Being able to meet new and happy people all the time. Being able to be together in someone's lifelong memory.”
Every wedding brings new personalities, cultures, and emotions. The photographer becomes both an observer and a quiet participant in one of the most meaningful days of a couple’s life.
Knowing that these photographs will remain part of a family’s story for generations adds profound significance to the work.
When working with couples, communication comes first.
We suggest a place and props where customers can hear and bring out what they want as much as possible.
Rather than imposing a rigid structure, Leekyungho listens carefully to each couple’s wishes and helps translate their ideas into visual form.
Location, atmosphere, and subtle styling choices all contribute to building images that feel personal and meaningful.
No two weddings are the same, which is why customization plays a key role in the studio’s approach.
“Of course, I specialize in custom photography.”
Every couple receives a tailored experience designed around their vision, schedule, and location. This flexibility allows Leekyungho to create imagery that reflects not only the event itself but also the personalities and stories behind it.
Looking back on the early days of his career, Leekyungho offers a simple but powerful message to his younger self.
“Have more confidence.”
Confidence, after all, allows photographers to trust their instincts, embrace creativity, and build meaningful connections with clients.
When it comes to preparing for a wedding photoshoot, Leekyungho encourages couples to focus on what truly matters.
“I want you to make my own wedding that can be a happy memory without being conscious of others.”
Rather than worrying about trends or expectations, couples should create a celebration that reflects their own story and values.
Authenticity always translates into stronger, more meaningful photographs.
While Korea remains the foundation of his work, Leekyungho has photographed weddings in many international destinations, including:
Los Angeles
Singapore
Paris
Japan
Manila
Upcoming projects will take him to Rome, Italy — another setting rich in history and visual beauty.
Interestingly, he doesn’t choose a single favorite location.
I don't have any particular favorite places. New places always become my favorite places.
This openness to discovery keeps the work fresh and continuously inspired.
At its core, LEEKYUNGHO PHOTOGRAPHY is about more than beautiful imagery.
It is about presence.
It is about being part of someone’s happiest day and preserving the emotions, the environment, and the people who made it unforgettable.
Through thoughtful composition, respect for authenticity, and a deep appreciation for the stories behind every celebration, Leekyungho continues to create wedding photographs that feel both timeless and deeply personal.
