love by the bosphorus

it was a very lovely may day.. not too hot not too cold perfect weather! conditions were just great so was the wedding! ayça and utku are just a great couple that i am so utterly glad that i met them. funny story, ayça's cousin tugba was one of my first brides when i started working as a wedding photographer almost 4 years ago. we found out that later we agree upon working together.. now i am shooting her wedding. and i am so glad i did. their energy and elegance and the effort that they put in their wedding was a reflection of their personalities and love towards each other for sure. the selection of the great venue, hekim bası salih efendi yalısı, has made the wedding cosy and gorgeous at the same time. all the details of the wedding was their creation. and i believe they deserve a big credit for their brilliant job! from the decorations, to food, from the music to the bouquet, everything was flawless.. and when i saw their invitation was from beyond talented y65 by selen özakhun, i knew that it will be the right choice to reflect the theme of their wedding.  ayça you have become a gorgeous bride and utku you are very lucky to have her as your bride! you guys warm my heart! i wish you two a life time happiness and love!

such a beautiful spring day to get marry ♥

we did an engagement session with dilahan and sinan last november yet again with a great weather for a november day.. it was last month, april 5th, that was their wedding day finally. they are such a special couple for me. they are truly in love and complete each other in so many ways. it is also amazing how basically we grow up together with dilahan without knowing each other but surrounded with almost the same people. her energy filling up every room she walks in and sinan's love for her is just amazing.. i loved the every little intimate details of the wedding too. their morning celebration with the loved ones, dilahan's dress for the morning was her mom's wedding gown tailored again for her and her vintage style just caught my heart right away! they both deserve the best of everything. thank you guys again for making me apart of your special day! it was such an honor to photograph you both and was utterly excited when i saw our engagement session photos in your lovely house! wish you a life time happiness filled with love! love you both! ♥

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
