When we ask ourselves “What is the most important moment in my life”, the answer of “my wedding day” is generally early in the list. The trust of a couple in me to photo these moments always excites me. You create the images to stay with you for the next 50-100 years and maybe the images that will pass to your grandchildren. This responsibility brings along the obligation to work hard at wedding day and after and provide wonderful photos to couple. We don’t have the luxury to miss even one single moment. Every month of the day is very precious whether it is important or not. Therefore I always try to shoot memorable portraits for you as well as trying to compose the story of the day. Hello! I am a wedding photographer who lives in Istanbul and Izmir but free to go everywhere in the world for photo shooting. This flexibility to travel stems from also being a travel and documentary photographer I think. I have worked in photography committee of travel, geography and culture magazine Atlas which is published in Turkey and Europe for a long time and I have photographed and written my themes. I was also the photography editor of Skylife magazine for a period of time. I have made editorial shootings for numerous magazines and newspapers. I think these fields that I came to grips with in past enabled me to look at wedding photography from different angles. I try to convey the reflex of story-telling and other disciplines to wedding photography. [Istanbul Wedding Photographer]

I have always loved the still image. From a young age, I took control of the camera on holidays and family events, and this continued through my teens – earning me the nickname ‘Paparazzi’ among my friends. I have always loved capturing the natural, unposed, unforced moments, when people are at their most comfortable. This candid, reportage style of photography continues in my work; I love to evoke emotion in the viewer and make them look twice at the finished image. I like to work quietly around the fringes of the scene, capturing precious moments without the subject realising. So I spend the majority of shoots in a ghost-like fashion, only making my voice heard for the occasional family composition. I hope to make my shoots as much fun for the client as possible, just giving occasional direction and letting the natural laughter, love, and smiles just happen. Capturing images that stand the test of time. I have been featured in blogs and magazines and look forward to the wedding stories to come in the future! [Surrey Wedding Photographer]

After my personal experience as a bride, telling in pictures about this wonderful moment in the life of a couple who believes in love, mutual trust, and complicity has become my personal "mission". So I ventured into this difficult and complex world, but I immediately understood that wedding photography is an artistically vast, complete and always stimulating field. I admit that I love marriages so much because they bring out the best in people, they are rich with various emotions and the surprise is always around the corner. For this reason, above all, I love the authenticity of moments because magic happens just when you are simply yourself, together with the most important people in your life: real moments that come to life in a completely natural way. People who love me think that I'm cheerful, ironic, genuine and sincere. It's vital for me to spend my free time with the people I love, chat with friends about everything and anything until the most unlikely hours; I love the warm colours of nature in autumn and the summer light; my favourite colour is blue in all its shades. I am passionate about films and TV series that, in addition to entertaining and telling beautiful stories, can teach a lot about photography. Even if I don't have a favourite genre, I listen to a lot of music, a passion that is part of me since I can remember. [Trieste Wedding Photographer]

A lifelong passion, Shane O’Neill’s photography is as much a pleasure as it is a business.

Linda is a wedding documentary photographer from Sofia, Bulgaria. She loves to tell the story of the wedding day in a lighthearted manner and with a lot of positive energy. Being the granddaughter of one of Bulgaria's greatest photojournalists, Linda developed her passion for photography about 10 years ago with the beginning of the digital photography era. She finds inspiration in street and portrait photography and also in her grandfather's albums. She loves to hunt emotions of all kinds and collect them with the help of her camera. Linda is fluent in English and Portuguese and is available to travel around the world. [Sofia Wedding Photographer]

I’m really incredibly lucky that my mom continued my grandfather’s tradition, and carefully captured our family moments through the lens all these years. I’m happy to look at these old photos when I was quite young, and my favorites are the ones we’re all in together. I am sure that your children will appreciate just that. When they are 20, 30, 40 years old, they will be grateful to you for investing in memories that will stay with them forever! The first person in the family to do photography was my grandfather. People still remember how they met him, loaded with photographic equipment, all over Pomurje. During his tenure, he spent countless films, thus stopping the time of countless events and views. He chased through the lens everything from innocent childish views to a landscape that changes over the years just as we humans change. The photographic baton in the family was taken over by my mother. As a child, she observed my grandfather at work, who was then employed at the Fotolik Celje company in Ljutomer. Her love of photography took her to Ljubljana, where she attended a school for photographers. She chose her studio because she always wanted to create on her own and did not want to be hindered by anyone. He says it’s in photography like in life. Experience, knowledge and wisdom are important. During the weekends, I went with my mom to take photos. When I saw the enthusiasm of the customers for the product, which also included my photos, I received confirmation that my decision was the right one. The desire to meet new people, socialize with them, and match their stories into the lens became even stronger. After finishing high school, I continued my education at the Vocational College of Photography in Sežana, where I graduated in wedding photography. I like to get to know people and their characters through the lens, as it seems to me that the camera really catches every sparkle in my eyes and that genuine expression on my face.

I'm a Croatian photographer living in south Sweden. I have a master's degree in art photography. Besides wedding photography, most of my career has concentrated on lifestyle, fashion, and food photography for magazines and other commercial work for different brands. I have also worked a lot on my artistic career and have had more than 10 solo exhibitions in different galleries and museums. I love wedding photography for its honesty in capturing the emotional moments and events during such an important day. I have been shooting weddings for around ten years now and have a lot of experience with all different kinds of weddings from the intimate ones to the very big ones. I love nature hikes and I love to travel all over the world so no place is too far for me and I'm always looking for an excuse to take the next big or small trip. [Lund Wedding Photographer]

Now that we have a little distance from the wedding, we feel like it all went perfectly and the photographs captured it so well! We feel really thankful.

Hi Ufuk, Evrim and I would like to thank you for being a part of our wedding. What a fantastic day it was! There are so many natural shots. You really captured the magic of the day and night without missing a beat, and without us even knowing it. The photos arrived in USBs which were packaged beautifully. It was so nice to go through all of them. They brought back many emotions. Thanks so much once again. We’ll cherish the photos forever! - Meltem

You were a god sent to our wedding. You and your team were nothing but amazing and that’s how everyone in my family and my husband’s feel like. You are so friendly, so precise and professional that we worried about nothing. More than anything else you were so reliable the whole time that gave us the assurance we needed. You made everything really feel better and less stressful and you delivered beautiful shots at the end. Working with you is so easy. Thank you so much!
