Documenting love of all kinds

YOUR WEDDING IS MORE THAN JUST AN EVENT —

it’s a celebration of your story, shared with the people who matter most.

I’m here to capture that story as it happens. The big moments? Of course, but the quiet magic too—the way your partner reaches for your hand instinctively, wrapping your arms around your childhood best friend, and the intimate pauses that deserve just as much space.

No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just real, joyful, artistic imagery that reflects not only the way your day unfolded, but the way it felt.

I specialize in emotive, storytelling-driven photography that feels as alive as the moments themselves.

i’m Aileen

Pronounced AY-LEAN, “A” like how you say it in the alphabet, and “lean” like lean cut of meat

I’m a wedding photographer based in Vancouver, BC with a focus on weddings that are intimate in size but never in presence.

From the moment we connect, my priority is to make you feel comfortable, welcomed, and free to be yourself. Think of me as part photographer, part hype-person, part calm-in-the-chaos. I’ll guide when needed, blend in when it matters, and move with the rhythm of the day, making sure you feel nothing but present.

All you need to do is soak it in, let go of the little things, and trust that I’ll be right there beside you, capturing every moment. 

What are you WANTING to capture?

Love Notes

  • "Aileen excelled at capturing genuine little moments throughout the wedding day,"

    “She went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were comfortable on the day of. We didn’t have to overthink any poses or nothing was overly artificial – Aileen excelled at capturing genuine little moments throughout the wedding day. The photographs were absolutely gorgeous, fully encapsulating the warm, rich color tones of the wedding décor, and she had an incredible eye for capturing the small details of the wedding that only we (as the planners) knew about! When the full set of photos was delivered, we were blown away by the consistency of quality.
    TLDR: Book Aileen Choi for your special event photography. You won’t regret it!”

  • "Aileen is so thoughtful, she goes above and beyond for her clients!"

    My wife and I loved working with Aileen! We are so happy with how our engagement AND wedding photos turned out! Upon contacting and meeting with Aileen, we knew that we made the right choice hiring her as our photographer. She was very easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable about every questions we had! She made us feel comfortable and made us look like pros in front of the camera. Not only is she a master of her craft, she really made as feel at ease during our sessions and felt as she was our friend taking our photos! I also wanted to add that Aileen helped me plan my surprise proposal during our engagement session. (Back story, I never bought my wife a ring, and I wanted to surprise her with one during our engagement shoot). Aileen is so thoughtful, she goes above and beyond for her clients! SHE is the photographer you are looking for!”

  • “Aileen is everything you could ask for in a wedding photographer and then some."

    “She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and a really solid hang. Our number one wish for a photographer was to have photos that, if we saw them in a gallery, we would think they were incredible photos before registering they were of a wedding - well, she delivered beyond what we could have hoped for. She really captured the feel of our day and we are so grateful to have photos that so quickly take us back to all those amazing moments.

    On top of being a truly wonderful human and taking stellar photos, my husband and I are rather camera-shy and Aileen managed to work the miracle of not only making us comfortable, but actually somehow getting us to have fun, even during portraits.

    Put simply, Aileen is the best of the best and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!!”
