A small elopement was celebrated with a romantic outdoor photo shoot of the bride and groom outside the wedding hall

After the wedding, we did a little outdoor shoot in front of the hall. Meanwhile, Defne and Ali took off their masks, as the environment was calm.

Defne and Ali are a wonderful couple who got married in Istanbul. There were too many feelings within the family and guests, like fun and emotions because the couple would move to Lausanne, Switzerland, after the wedding. The day started with the preparations at the couple's home. The preparations continued at the hotel where the couple will stay, at the Çırağan Kempinski Hotel. The wedding ceremony was held in Şişli Wedding Hall. Pandemic measures were applied here and the number of guests was kept at about 30 people. At night, the ceremony was held in a tent in Bebeköy Momo Restaurant. Luckily, it was a good wedding under Covid-19 conditions.
