Derya, we can't thank you enough for your contribution to our wedding. You and your team truly went above and beyond to ensure you captured every moment.

You have an amazing combination of professionalism and creativity. You and your team fit naturally into the whole wedding and were flexible enough to go with the flow.

Since we wanted natural photos and videos on our wedding day, we started a deep research and at the end of the day, we reached at you and you impressed us immediately. When we met, there was harmony that we felt like love at first sight. In the meeting the questions you asked about us, our relationship and how we met was impressive. This is very important because if you can understand each other with the team it affects your photos and videos, really good work can be done. And so it happened, without any stress and without realizing it, we had a romantic comedy-like wedding movie and amazing photographs. You and your teammates are very friendly and professional people. Most importantly, you all really love your job and do it very well. We would like to thank you and your team.
