my love for spring

my love for flowers and gorgeous colors of nature is on its top at this time of year and that puts me in a place where i feel like i am in heaven! i was at a private estate in istanbul and enjoyed this amazing garden! a bit of a fairy tale like; a bit of a movie like setting.. my creativity and imagination reaches its maximum i guess ^_^

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

paris my love..

if one can fall in love with a city, paris is my love that's for sure.. it's just the city it self; we have some sort of different connection.. it is still my dream to be able to wake up to a parisian morning carelessly at one point of my life.. and can spend time only with the city..

paris

a happy place to be..

sarıgerme is one of my best locations in south of turkey.. it is very well preserved with great long coast line.  listening the sound of the waves, feeling the breeze in my hair, taking a long walk on the sand; there i am in my happy place.. 

this time i arrived for a preseason wedding here where it is early spring and i can smell orange blossoms everywhere..

i do ask this question to myself: why am i wasting my time in a big city where you cannot even smell the roses anymore? my soul needs some rest, in this peaceful quite beautiful nature..
