sanjana and karan’s story intersects in beautiful istanbul as a mid destination of their love journey between california and india. this intimate, colorful, modern also full of indian traditions wedding was such a great experience for me to go through too! one of the most energetic and full of love wedding i have ever captured. started with a henna day, later with a dreamy welcome cocktail rooftop party at soho hotel with a gorgeous historic istanbul view, ended with a classic and stylish bosphorus wedding celebration party at good old astonishing çırağan palace.

Cunda Ortunc Hotel Destination Wedding

Selin and Berke tied the knot at a very beautiful September day in beautiful Cunda. surrounded with olive trees and deep blue water of the aeagean sea; this two-day event was hands down one of my favorite. Selin and Berke live in New York but they wanted to have this special event in Ayvalik area where it is very special for Selin and her family and they kept the event very minimal with some traditional tastes. The wedding was held in famous Ortunc Hotel. Selin has designed her own jewelry, as part of her brand Selin Kent, along with her husband's cufflinks and shirt buttons. Her dress was a long sleeved beautiful Lihi Hod design. Overall the main goal was to have fun with the loved ones all around the world and they sure did achieve this! if you wanna learn more about the details of this lovely wedding you can find little inteview of Selin about her wedding on famous Coveteur with more of my images! <3

norwegian-turkish wedding by the bosphorus historic adile sultan palace

if you were to ask me how to describe this wedding i would say elegant, emotional and fun. i not only cried during the dinner but also had really fun at the party! on a beautiful june day; dearest anne and burak vowed each other in front of their loved ones at beautiful adile sultan palace that looks over beautiful bosphorus from the above. it has became one of the very special wedding of this past season not only because anne's norwegian roots brought the memories of the wedding of a good friend of mine back in oslo, but also i get to see 3 other couples of mine from past year and we get to enjoy this wedding all together! i really love my job cause constantly i get to witness the most beautiful moments of people's lives. also when the wedding involves touchy speeches it definitely is more sincere and this wedding had a lot of that moment. i am so honored and happy that i get to meet with great hearted anne and burak and be a part of their very special day!

as a health coach and nutritionist anne was also launching her new business natura by anne during her wedding preperations. (by the way check her products they really are good!) she also had special wedding cake made by talented we.eatlove which looked and tasted really good! green and white themed wedding styled by talented aisha weddings and events and anne's dress was from niquie. hope you'll enjoy the details and will inspire you one way or another!

destination wedding in göcek dresort

ofcourse it was a very hot august day but it worth all the sweat that we all had to shred! i met with memnune and chris in previous winter in london and i knew that their wedding is going to be more than just fun, memorable in many ways.. göcek is one of my favorite summer places in whole world and d-resort gocek is another heaven on earth especially for destination weddings. i have always captured amazing memories there and their crew is also very easy and friendly to work with. i have suggested istisnai projeler of bodrum to mem and chris and we all were very pleased at the end to work along together. mem and chris met in singapore chris as a british mem as australian turkish, living in london; they managed to gather everyone in beautiful göcek. it was a very casual beach wedding with lots of british humor in it. it has been one of those memorable weddings for me where i am thankful to meet lovely new people and honor to be a part of this sincere wedding. 

Gorgeous Destination Wedding at Casa Dell'Arte, Bodrum

best time for bodrum is definitely september and this gorgeous wedding was on such a beautiful september day. i met prue and oner in london the first time and we were both excited about their wedding immediately. whole wedding was carefully curated by both of them and it reflected their multicultural backgrounds. 

casa dell'arte being one of my favorite venue in bodrum area, helped to create the mood that prue and oner was seeking. lots of gold and bodrum's symbol of bougainvilleas were used as main items on decorations. as being designers, they designed their own invitations, cake toppers, and even oner designed his own suit. prue on the other hand picked such an elegant carolina herrera gown from browns bridal in london.
