beach love

they melt my heart... 

when we had our first meeting with damla and volkan in new york at ace hotel, i knew that this wedding is going to be special.  the picture of their wedding in their mind was so clear that i could see what i was going to experience! and i did.. starting from the first day! a day before their amazing wedding (which will be soon on the blog too!) i had the privilege to capture their love at this gorgeous beach of sarıgerme, (which is also one of my favorites in whole turkey) where damla actually grew up too. despite of the rain we managed to enjoy the every bit of the sea, sand and a little sunshine that peeked at us every once in a while.  they do warm my heart and they melt it with their love to each other.. hope you all can feel it the way i do too!

stay tuned for their amazing wedding too!

love in göcek | göcek'de aşk

sedef and utku got married last august on a beautiful summer day in göcek, turkey..i have been waiting to blog post their wedding for so long that now that i am finally launching the new blog, their wedding would be my first publication! 

those who have been to göcek know that it is famous for its gorgeous bays that are perfect for sailing...despite of the regular breeze we always get there, it was a one of these very hot and no breeze extra humid day in göcek. but their joy and love was spread in the  air that everyone was having so much fun starting from morning til the sunrise of the next day! 

as a person of details, i loved every bit of their wedding of course! a-mazing lazzaro gown, chic jewelries, elegant lavender bouquet, gorgeous centerpieces, special wedding gifts, table names and many more...

their energy, and joy made the whole wedding such a great celebration! their beautiful wedding has also been praised on spring-summer 2014 issue of martha stewart weddings turkey. cheers to your life time happiness! <3
