My fiance came across Ufuk’s website through Google while browsing for photographers in Cappadocia. Ufuk responded to us and gave us lovely suggestions for our photoshoot. Having never been to Turkey, Ufuk’s professionalism and detailed explanation in responding to our queries have gave us a lot of confidence and excitement prior to the photoshoot.
Upon arriving there, we met up a day before the photoshoot to discuss the photoshoot locations and itinerary for the day. Being a pair of camera-shy couple, Ufuk was very patient and made us felt comfortable throughout the day. My fiance has arranged for a surprise proposal and Ufuk accomodated to the surprise and it turned out beautifully. I completely did not see it coming!
He took us around through all the photoshoot locations with a comfortable pace and breaks along the way. One of our highlights of our trip to Cappadocia is definitely the photoshoot with Ufuk. His friendly and easy going personality made us feel comfortable and after a long photoshoot day, we had a lovely time having dinner together.
We were very delighted on how the photos turned out capturing all the beautiful moments together. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending Ufuk to anybody who wants creative photographs and to just have a good time.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I’m really happy to hear that you had a great time during your photoshoot in Cappadocia.
I’m really happy that the surprise proposal went well—it was such a special moment to capture! Having dinner together afterward was fun!
I’m touched by your kind words about the photos and the experience overall. It was truly a pleasure working with you both. Thanks a lot for the recommendation—I’d be honored to capture more memories for you or anyone else in the future.
We had the pleasure of working with Ufuk for our son’s baptism in Istanbul last year and ee couldn’t have been more impressed. Despite being sick, he showed up with a big smile on his face and maintained his professionalism throughout the entire event.
The photos he captured were absolutely stunning and really captured the essence of the day. From the candid moments to the posed family shots, every image was beautifully composed and truly captured the joy of the occasion.
Not only was his work top-notch, but it was also incredibly easy to reach and communicate with him from the very beginning. He was always prompt in responding to emails and phone calls, making the planning process a breeze.
On top of all that, his kindness and warm demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the final product and it truly showed in the photos.
I would highly recommend this photographer to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and kind individual to capture their special moments. Thank you for everything!
Your message brought so much joy to my day! I really appreciate your kind words. Your son’s baptism was a special and wonderful event, and I’m happy I could capture those precious moments for you.
Despite not feeling my best because of food poisoning a day before, your warm welcome and the joy of the occasion kept me smiling throughout. It’s fantastic to hear that you love the photos and that they captured the true essence of the day.
Being part of the entire process, from planning to delivering the final photos, was a genuine pleasure. Your recommendation means a lot to me. If there’s ever another special moment you want to capture, I’d be honored to be there.
Thank you a million for your kindness and for letting me share in your memories!
Ufuk accompanied us during our whole wedding day, from early morning, working nonstop all the way into the next day. Whenever we look back at the photos Ufuk took during this time, they feel alive and real. This is absolutely priceless and truly all we could ever ask for. We’ll be grateful to have worked with Ufuk for the rest of our lives.
He is very creative in his art while keeping the “documentary style” which doesn’t interfere with the reality of each moment. He was everywhere we couldn’t be and this was a great gift for us, that we could see later the whole experience of our wedding beyond our own individual ones. He’s also confident, relaxed and never makes you feel forced into anything. Having had a quite international wedding, we appreciated how he was a good communicator with people of all ages and cultures. We couldn’t recommend him more and would happily work with him again in the future.
Your message means a lot! I’m really glad I could be there for your whole wedding day, capturing all those special moments. Thanks a bunch for your kind words. Wishing you both loads of happiness and many more great moments!
Hi Ufuk! We were so excited with the pictures! They look amazing! Thanks so much again for making our day very special. No words can express out appreciation.
Ufuk was a wonderful photographer for our wedding. He captured the beautiful beach setting and the candid moments between family throughout getting ready and the evening reception.
He even assisted my husband getting ready which was so thoughtful.
We had our wedding in North Cyprus and nothing was too much effort for Ufuk. He came along to the salon to take some photos, met my family and created some beautiful photos of the monastery where we held our reception.
He speaks perfect English and was very professional. He’s also a very kind person and everyone at the wedding complimented on how lovely he was.
Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories Ufuk.
Your message made my day! I’m so happy I could be your wedding photographer in North Cyprus. It was a blast capturing all those special moments, and helping out with the getting ready part was a pleasure!
Your wedding locations were amazing—the beach, the monastery—all so picturesque. And I’m really touched by your kind words about my work and how everyone at the wedding felt about me.
If you ever want more photos or just want to say hi, I’m here. Wishing you both a super happy life together. Thanks a bunch for letting me be part of your big day!
We traveled to Turkiye to have our pre-wedding photoshoot. The usual norm in the Philippines is to bring your own photographer – but we did not want to do that. I saw hundreds of photographers in Cappadocia but we are so happy to have ended up with Ufuk.
He answered all my queries promptly before our arrival in Turkiye. He was patient with us during the photoshoot, and helped us with poses too. But what I liked the most is that the places he brought us to are the same places you would go to had you booked a tour – the difference being that he brought us to different angles of the same view as the tours, only with little to no people getting in the way of the view.
Ufuk speaks very good english, so communicating with him was not a problem at all. Thank you for making our photoshoot something worth remembering. 🙂
Your message made me so happy! I really appreciate your kind words. Being part of your pre-wedding photoshoot in Turkey was a fantastic experience.
I’m thrilled that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the shoot. Making sure my clients have a great time is super important to me. I’m also glad you liked the locations I picked—I always try to choose spots that are special and not too crowded.
Thank you for trusting me to capture such an important moment for you. It means a lot. If you ever come back to Turkey or need anything else, feel free to reach out. Wishing you both all the happiness as you get ready for your big day!
Choosing Ufuk for our outdoor Cappadocia photoshoot was an absolute dream come true. His ability to capture the breathtaking landscapes and intimate moments of our special day was truly remarkable. With his guidance and expertise, every photo turned out to be a work of art, perfectly encapsulating the beauty and romance of Cappadocia. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Ufuk to anyone looking for an exceptional outdoor wedding photographer.
Your words just made my day! I’m beyond thrilled to hear that you’re so happy with the photos. It was an absolute blast capturing those moments for you. Cappadocia’s magic definitely played a big part I know:)
If you ever need more photos or just want to catch up, I’m here. Thanks a bunch for the kind words and the fantastic adventure in Cappadocia!
My wife and I traveled from Ethiopia to Turkey in April 2023 to have our pre-wedding photos taken in Cappadocia by Ufuk. By the end of the photoshoot, we were absolutely glad to have chosen Ufuk for this experience. Apart from his exceptional creativity and gifted eyes for shooting the most unique and amazing shots, he made us super comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process, which was opposite of what we had initially thought would be stressful and overwhelming. Our pictures came out amazing and we honestly haven’t been able to stop recommending him to whomever we come across that is planning a wedding or engagement in the near future. Furthermore, he was extremely patient and understanding during the post production stage where we gave him feedbacks on additional edits we wanted on the short video and some of the pictures. He accommodated our requests with excellent hospitality until we reached the level of perfection we thought was possible. Thank you for everything Ufuk and we can’t wait to work with you once again for our family shoot in Turkey very soon!!
We had our engagement photos taken by Ufuk and we had a very pleasant experience with him capturing our photos in Izmir, which is a special place for us.
He is very innovative and he has a great eye to capture artistic photos that not many photographers can even imagine taking. He is a quick thinker and a great observer of the surroundings to come up with artistic ideas for photos. He makes very good use of the natural light and what’s available around.
He was also very friendly and easygoing from the beginning to the end, and we felt very easy to work with him. He made the photoshoot a nice and fun experience for us. And the results are just wonderful! We had many beautiful photos turned in quickly!
Thanks Ufuk to make our engagement photoshoot a very pleasant experience, we can’t recommend him enough!
Dearest Ufuk, these images, your work are beyond my wildest dreams. You’ve captured the entire essence of our wedding, and it would have been far less complete without you. We absolutely enjoyed every minute with you and your crew, we are family! Looking forward to celebrating our 1 year together in Istanbul!
Thank you, endlessly.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ufuk as our wedding photographer in Istanbul, Turkey, and we cannot praise him enough. Ufuk went above and beyond to capture the most beautiful and heartfelt moments of our special day.
From the moment we met him, Ufuk made us feel like family. His warm and friendly personality instantly put us at ease, and it felt like we were spending time with a dear friend rather than a hired professional. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our vision and preferences for the wedding photos.
On the day of our wedding, Ufuk seamlessly blended into the background, capturing every candid smile, joyful tear, and meaningful embrace. He had an incredible ability to anticipate and capture the most magical moments, and his attention to detail was remarkable. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, as Ufuk effortlessly navigated through the event, ensuring that every important aspect was captured.
When we received the photos, we were blown away. Ufuk’s talent truly shines through in his work. The images were nothing short of breathtaking, with each frame encapsulating the emotions and essence of our wedding day. The composition, lighting, and overall aesthetic were simply stunning. Ufuk’s creativity and skill brought our memories to life, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
If we ever decide to renew our vows or have another important milestone to capture, there is no doubt in our minds that we would choose Ufuk without hesitation. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion for his craft make him a standout photographer. Not only did he provide us with remarkable photos, but he also created an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever.
Thank you, Ufuk, for going above and beyond, and for making our wedding day feel effortless and special. Your exceptional work and incredible dedication have left us with cherished memories that we will forever hold dear.
Planning your wedding can be a challenging and stressful experience. Choosing Ufuk to photograph ours was one of the easiest decisions my wife India and I made for the special day.
Ufuk had an approachable and professional attitude from the first meeting when we were vetting photographers until we received our photos.
On the wedding day, he was a wonderful friendly and calming presence. He went above and beyond to help us throughout the day and also got on really well with our guests, chatting with them and making sure everyone felt comfortable and at ease.
We now have hundreds of wonderful photos of the couple’s photoshoot we did before the ceremony, family shots and – the most important for India and myself – lively candid moments that perfectly captured emotions of the wedding day that we will always have with us to look back on. The quality of the shots we received – from angles, lighting, to positioning – is something only experienced and talented professionals can pull off.
We very much recommend him to other soon-to-be-wed couples looking for a photographer to catch genuine moments of the event and stylish couple photoshoots.

After spending so much time scouring for the perfect photographer for our wedding on the other side of the world, I found Ufuk as my number one pick and was thrilled that he was available for our dates. He was incredibly professional, friendly, and made the entire process fun with the most stunning photographs! What stood out to me about his work and why I picked him was his creative eye and willingness to experiment to capture shots that absolutely pop and grab you with emotional weight. If you want works of art for your wedding photography, Ufuk couldn’t be a better choice.

My husband and I were going for a trip to Cappadocia and found Ufuk online. We decided and went ahead to do our post-wedding shoot with Ufuk, and we were blown away by his photos!! Truly unique and one of a kind, if you’re looking for something extraordinary don’t look any further and contact Ufuk rightaway.
The experience we had was amazing, he made us feel very relaxed throughout and he goes the extra mile to make the photos turn out according to what we asked for. Probably the best wedding photographer in town!
Thanks again Ufuk for taking these special moments for us that would last a lifetime!

Warm regards,
Ufuk
We were recommended Ufuk by a friend for our wedding in London and he was great every step of the way. We had to postpone our wedding date due to covid-19 and he was supportive and understanding throughout the process and he was able to postpone to our new wedding date. We had many chats during the process and he was patient when scheduling a new date. On the day he was attentive and made sure to catch all of the special moments while making us feel completely relaxed and at ease. We were over the moon when we received the pictures, the moments were so perfectly captured. If you want someone who cares about your special day just as much as you, then we would definitely recommend Ufuk Sarisen!
Dear Sitem & Can,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and leaving such a wonderful review. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of your special day and capture those beautiful moments for you. I understand how difficult it has been for many couples during the pandemic, and I’m glad to hear that I was able to support and accommodate your needs during the postponement process. Your satisfaction and happiness are my top priorities and I’m thrilled to hear that you felt relaxed and at ease throughout the day.
I’m so happy that you were pleased with the final results and that the pictures were able to capture those special moments. Thank you so much for your kind words. Hoping to see you again.
Warm regards,
Ufuk
We planned our wedding in Söğütköy, Turkey and found Ufuk’s photography and website fairly quickly and knew he was the best choice for us. Although we loved his style of photography, it were the heartfelt reviews and opinion of Ufuk that really sold him to us. I knew he would care, and I knew he would listen. And he didn’t disappoint us! His communication was always fantastic, clear and personal before the wedding and we trusted him! Although our wedding was not as spectacular and glamorous as lots of the ones on his website, he captured our intimate wedding perfectly and though we are pretty camera shy and don’t really like to pose, caught the moments just right! We love our photos but more importantly we loved having Ufuk with us for the day. We were lucky enough to be in the same hotel for a night a year before in Cyprus when we met up the first time, and even luckier to spend an evening with him in Istanbul a few months after the wedding. He is a true gentleman, a fabulous photographer and should definitely be everyone’s first choice if you want to feel comfortable and cared about on your special day.
Hey Sonya! Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing me as your wedding photographer. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your special day in Söğütköy and capture those intimate moments that you will cherish for a lifetime. I’m thrilled to hear that you felt comfortable and cared about throughout the whole process, from our first communication to the wedding day itself. Your trust in me meant a lot and I’m so glad that I was able to exceed your expectations.
I also loved getting to know you both better during our time in Cyprus and Istanbul. Thank you again for choosing me as your photographer and for sharing your experience with others. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!
We are from Singapore and knew Turkey is awesome with wedding photoshoots taken there. Before we flew, we had a call with Ufuk and he was patient to listen to and understand our needs. He is creative and recommended many sites for the shoot. We enjoyed the shooting experience although it was cold. The only unfortunate thing was the hot-air balloons at Cappadocia did not fly during the 4 days we were there due to the bad weather. Else all were well and the package was worth the money and memorable.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing me as your photographer for your wedding photoshoot in Turkey. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that the package was worth the investment. It was such a pleasure to work with both of you and to help bring your vision to life. I appreciate your trust in me and for allowing me to be a part of such a special moment in your lives. Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing me as your photographer. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
Best regards
It is difficult to put into words just how special an artist Ufuk is. From the moment we seen his work online we knew Ufuk had to be our wedding photographer as he has such a gift for capturing natural moments so beautifully.
From start to finish, Ufuk was amazing. He is professional, warm and kind and a true joy to spend our most important day with. His photographs captured the whole day perfectly, from the boat ride to the venue right up to the late night swimming in the sea, not a single moment was missed. The end results were remarkable and everyone who sees our wedding pictures comments on how unique and magical they are.
Thank you always for your hard work and for helping us capture and remember the best day of our lives, forever. You are one in a million.
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for your kind words! You two are simply amazing people and it was such an honor to be a part of your special day. Knowing that my work was able to capture all those beautiful and natural moments means the world to me.
I’m so happy to hear that I was able to be a positive presence throughout the day. Your wedding was such a memorable and magical experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback with me. I hope that you will cherish these beautiful photographs for many years to come…
Ufuk is an amazing photographer and artist. The pictures he creates are art pieces. He took our honeymoon pictures in Cappadoccia. Our day with him was a nice tour of secret gems in Cappadoccia, creation of amazing pictures, and having lots of fun. I highly recommend the memorable experience with Ufuk to anyone who wants to capture their memories while enjoying the nature and historic sites.
Dear Maryam,
Thank you so much for your kind words about your honeymoon photo session with me in Cappadocia. I’m happy that you enjoyed the tour of some of the secret gems of the area.
It was a pleasure to work with you both and to have the opportunity to capture such special memories for you. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special honeymoon memories.
Our wedding photo session was in Cappadocia, Turkey in June 2022. I never thought it will be an amazing experience and an easily implemented photo session. Ufuk is a great photographer with so many great photography skills. He was really flexible and professional at the same time. We had a great time communicating to him discussing our cultures and he was so nice to the point where he became our reliable contact whenever planning to visit Turkey.
He was very responsive and always in contact with us until the photos were finally delivered to us..
Thank you so much for witnessing the best part of our life, recording it and making the best memories out of it. You are the best!
Thank you so much for your kind words about your wedding photo session in Cappadocia. I’m thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience and that I was able to help you create lasting memories. It was a pleasure working with you both and getting to know you better throughout the process. I’m so glad to hear that you were happy with my work and that I was able to deliver photos that you will cherish forever. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything in the future.
Thank you again for choosing me to be a part of such a special day in your lives.
Ufuk took our family photos in Cappadocia in Turkey.
He is very talented and professional. The communication went excellent throughout and he even helped me with our trip planning in Turkey and had great recommendations.
His English is great , he is reliable, organized , easy going and great with kids.
It was pleasure to meet with him. Look forward to have more photos taken by him in future.
Thanks very much Ufuk for creating beautiful moments in our life.
My husband and I booked a 2 hour travel photography shoot with Ufuk during our visit to Istanbul in May 2022. Despite not being the most camera friendly people, Ufuk made this an extremely fun and easy going experience that we will cherish forever! He shared lots of great information about the sites we visited, but more importantly knew all the great angles and suggested great poses for us. I couldn’t differentiate candid vs posed shots in the final pics because we were having so much during the process. We’re walking away with great memories, beautiful pics and a new friend.
We had our Pre-wedding shot in Cappadocia by Ufuk. It was a great experience that we will never forget! Ufuk is very professional and know exactly where and when to get the perfect pictures. He is also very flexible to make sure to archieve that.
He made us very much at ease which resulted in great photo’s. Even before and after the shoot he was very easy to contact and helped us a lot with our further travels throughout Turkey.
In the end, we are very statisfied with the experience and the resulting photo’s.
I met Ufuk years ago when he started his career and made him promise me that if I ever got married, he was going to come and photographed my wedding. And he did! He captured the best parts of our wedding, our most intimate moments. Ufuk is not only a great photographer but he is also a storyteller. The memories of our wedding from the moment we started getting ready until the moment we were leaving the venue could not be better portrayed. We did not want to have generic wedding photos and he understood our concept and esthetic so well, when we saw his photos we were over the moon. He managed to capture the most intimate moments of our day. We did not even realize he was in the room most of the time. His energy level is unmatchable! He did not stop for a minute! My husband and I are grateful to work with Ufuk. Cok tesekkurler!
Ufuk shot our family photos and I see so many photos and images due to my profession. When I took the images taken by Ufuk I get a feeling like they are taken from a movie scene. So cinematic and powerful. I feel that they’ll be the most memorable things left from those years. Much appreciated and thanks for recoding that day.
Ufuk is truly an outstanding photographer and wonderful person with an ability to capture the true nature of people and events. I’d recommend him to anyone!
Thank you for shooting our wedding and our daughter’s christening. Our experience working with you was fantastic and in your pictures you captured the magic of the two days!!!
I requested for Ufuk’s services for my wife’s 50 birthday celebration in Istanbul, Turkey. He was so accommodating, friendly, patient, creative, and the list goes on and on. He turned out to be more than what I had expected as a photographer and as a person. He was so good with his photography and mannerism that I have already decided to book him for my daughter’s wedding when she is ready, who is only 18 now. There are not enough words to completely describe him and his work. He does not give up until he is satisfied with a shot, makes you very comfortable during the shoots, and also makes it fun which is most important when you are with a photographer 8 hours. Initially I was going to use his services for just a day, but later changed it to 2 and 1/2 days just because we LOVED our experience with him.
He had just flown in from US and still managed to excel. He is the BEST photographer I have ever known. He continued to provide support weeks after the service and never hesitates.
YOU WILL TOTALLY LOVE HIS WORK!
Yes we like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. I am still looking at our family photos (stuck in a building with bad internet reception) but so far they made me cry again 🥲 in a good way.
Happy tears of course!
Karen and I had a wonderful day with you! You are the perfect instructor, your info was perfect and we so enjoyed our time with you. Now that we’re in Muscat we have been using your methods and love the results.
We would love to send you some pics and get your critiques.
Until later,
Steve & Karen Sodikoff
Dear Ufuk! It was such a pleasure to have you as the photographer at our wedding. Being foreigners getting married in Izmir after a year of challenges and postponements, it was so refreshing and comforting sharing this day with you. You managed to capture our most precious moments in a comfortable and unstressful way, which was really important, especially for people like us who don’t normally like to be photographed 🙂 ! We will cherish our wedding photos forever! Thank you for making us and our guests feel so much at ease and enjoy every moment!
Düğüne son 1 ay kala fotoğraf konusunda çok gergindik. Ne ben ne de Goker fotoğraf çekilmeyi asla sevmeyiz ve hiç de fotojenik insanlar değiliz:) o yüzden bizi kasmadan o günü sonrasında bize aynı duygularla yaşatacak birine ihtiyacımız vardı. Araştırma yapınca karşınıza bir sürü kişi geliyor evet ama detaylı inceleyince ve detayları konuşmak için bir araya gelince Ufuk’un o enerjisi ve verdiği güvenle “tamam işte bu” diyorsunuz…
Dugun günü fotoğraflarımız çekiliyor mu anlamadık bile, o kadar doğal ve güzel şeyler çıktı ki. Ayrıca dış çekimde de kendisini Karaburun yollarında çokça yorduk 🙂 asla pes etmedi ve ne istesek kendisi de bizle aynı keyfi alıyormuşcasina yanımızdaydi.
Ufuk, her şey için çok teşekkürler. Unutulmaz günün mimari olduğun için çok mutluyuz.
After getting married at sunrise, my husband and I decided to take photos every year on our anniversary at sunrise. We were visiting Cappadocia for a few days right before our one year wedding anniversary, so we decided to find a local photographer who can kick off our anniversary tradition. I am particularly selective in photographers, so I did extensive research on photographers in the area. I love large landscape shots and was looking for a photographer who could capture the beauty of Cappadocia’s landscape and lighting of the balloons at sunrise. I also have a high standard for artistry and appreciate details with lighting, placement and capturing natural emotions on film. When I saw Ufuk’s photos, it was clear he is an expert photographer and his level of artistry is equivalent to fine art. I knew he would be perfect for our anniversary photos.
Even though we live in the United States, it was so easy to set up a call, discuss what we were looking for and coordinate details for our shoot. He gave us plenty of suggestions, and we decided on the balloons at sunrise, Goreme and the surrounding valley and Lake Tuz.
When we arrived in Turkey, he always made himself available for recommendations and practical information and was so helpful it was as if we already had a friend in town. When we approached our photo shoot day, we were disappointed we not expecting good weather, but Ufuk was always positive and gave us many options so we could plan around weather. He also was able to make himself available on a second day in case the balloons did not fly on our photo shoot day.
We were able to take photos at all the places we planned. We had amazing weather and caught a spectacular sunset at Lake Tuz. Balloons at sunrise were canceled on our photo shoot day, but we were able to shoot on the following morning. It was pretty cloudy even on our balloon day, but we have no doubt our photos will turn out amazing.
Aside from being an expert photographer, Ufuk is just a great person. He is so humble, considerate and kind. We loved spending the day with him, and every person we crossed paths with, even strangers, enjoyed interacting with him. This made our day out with him even more enjoyable, and it felt like we were hanging out with a friend who happens to capture your day with fine art photography. We had such a great day and experience with him, and we will remember Cappadocia not just from beautiful photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives but also from the friendship with Ufuk we started on that day.
Ufuk and Gokhan were amazing throughout the whole process. Me and my wife could not of been happier with the pictures and video.
You could tell Ufuk is very passionate about photography and he has an eye for amazing shots. We have done other photoshoots before and this was definitely on a different level. His expertise makes you feel very comfortable from the beginning and makes the photoshoot feel very natural.
We had sent him some sample pictures of the style and effects we were looking for and he definitely went out of his way to accomplish that for us and even made it better. Ufuk is gifted photographer and one of the best we ever worked with. Thank yall so much for such a great time with our pre-wedding photos.
Ufuk did a pre-wedding photoshoot in Istanbul for my wife and I. We left everything to him in terms of locations and ideas. He picked stunning locations and coordinated the shoot exceptionally well. Despite rain on a very cold day we powered through the shoot. Ufuk and team added the warmth that resulted in some very beautiful photos.
He also helped us coordinate a make-up artist and van for the day to take us around from location to location and gave us a lot of flexibility.
All in all we had a very satisfying and wonderful experience. The photos speak for themselves and we are very happy with the end result.
When we sat down to choose a photographer for our special day, we reviewed portfolios by dozens of photographers. But when we encountered Ufuk’s work, we simply fell in love with his exceptional art – by how much passion, emotions, color, life and energy his photographs exude. We could not wait to call him that same evening and ask if he could be our wedding photographer.
From the minute we spoke to Ufuk on the phone, we realized how kind, caring and exceptionally generous he was. We were amazed by how attentive he was to every detail in the conversation, by how honest and transparent he was about cost and technical needs, and by how genuinely excited he was by our special day.
In the run-up to our wedding, Ufuk always felt like he was right next to us, even though we were not even in the same country. He was always available to discuss anything, anytime. He helped with wedding preparation tips, ideas, and advice. We did not worry for a second that anything might go wrong.
Ufuk and his wonderful team arrived to Lebanon two full days ahead of our wedding to familiarize themselves with the context and venue, and we instantly felt how prepared and on top of things they were.
On the day of the wedding, Ufuk and his team were the first to show up and spread their wonderful good vibes. Even our guests were struck by how kind and passionate they were. We loved Ufuk and his team so much that we felt they were not only our wedding photographers but also friends and part of our wedding festivities. Yet, Ufuk and his team remained professional at all times and attentive to capture each and every detail of our wedding. Their pictures brilliantly captured each individual’s emotions, expressions, reactions, and state of mind – the photos are unbelievably true to who our friends are and what they represent to us.
Our wedding was not only a deeply special and personal moment for us, but also an event of public impact as it was one of Lebanon’s first ever civil marriages. The wedding was covered by both the local and international press and, thanks to Ufuk and his team, we could not have had better photos to be proud of and share.
We are truly grateful to Ufuk and his team for going above and beyond whatever may have been expected of them before, during, and after our wedding. Thanks to them, we not only have the best photos that have ever been taken of us as couple, but also the best photos of us with our friends and family. They will continue to make us laugh, cry and relive our wedding forever.
Photos are instrumental in keeping our happiest memories alive forever and they let us relive those happy moments again and again. With that in the forefront of our minds, we spent a lot of time doing our research to find the best photographer for our wedding. When we came across Ufuk’s work, we knew instantly that he had something very special to offer. Thankfully, he was available on our wedding date, and we booked him right then. We clearly made the right decision.
In the few months leading up to our wedding, Ufuk spent the time to understand our expectations and also to share helpful tips about overall wedding prep. We knew right then that we made the right choice and he put our minds at ease. We stayed in touch via email and over the phone to get to know each other, and it felt like we were friends before even meeting.
On the morning of our wedding day, we met Ufuk and his team at the venue in Istanbul, and he was ready to start shooting, given all of the prep done in advance in getting to know us. Ufuk and his team were very warm and welcoming, and they captured some of the best moments of the day with their cameras right from the beginning.
Ufuk’s work goes beyond just photo-taking. He captures the essence of the moment, those singular expressions we didn’t even know existed. Now those moments have been captured, and are so beautifully ours forever to remember. Thank you Ufuk for making it happen. We would not hesitate for a moment to work with you again on another special day for our family and friends!
When I started organizing my wedding back in 2018, Ufuk’s website was one of the first things I landed on and booked. I always told my husband there are four important things in a perfect wedding; the food & alcohol, the music, the people and most importantly the photographer to capture it all. And INDEED HE DID. Receiving the pictures after our wedding made us relive it all again. The moments captured, the angles taken and simply the style of shooting took us back in time, made us cry and laugh at the same time, as well as gave us a picture or actually a thousand ones that portray the love and happiness that was all around us this day. We cannot begin to thank you for the service that you have provided us and as we have told you a million times before, you are the best decision we have made for our wedding.
Now going into a bit more details, Ufuk is a genuine and humble person and the team around him are also a reflection of that. We loved the fact that he offered us more than we asked, and stayed with us until DAWN. In addition, having held our wedding in Turkey and we do not speak any turkish, Ufuk was extremely helpful in helping us with suppliers that do not really speak our language. At the end, we didn’t feel that Ufuk was someone that we hired but someone who has become a true friend.
We cannot but wish you the best in your professional journey because you have provided us with the best.
Lots of love,
Rateb & Tala
How do I start…
In the Summer of 2019, when I decided to go to Turkey and Cappadoccia with my sixteen year old daughter Isabella, in a trip of a lifetime, my first thought was: “Where I am going to find a photographer that can capture the love that I feel for her and the magical moments that I knew we were going to be part of in this trip?
Late at night, days before my trip I search for “best photographers in Turkey” several photographers came out and then I found Ufuk photographs!
The beauty, originality, colors, terrains and faces captured by his cámara took me there, without even left my bed at my house in Miami!
I knew he was the one that I wanted to take the pictures of my beautiful daughter and me, a fifty two year old mom who wanted to be immortalized before I get more wrinkles 😉 so my daughter can say one day “My mom was beautiful”
And he did just that and more…!!!!
He made that experience since sunrise until sunset an unforgettable one. We enjoyed every moment. He was so sweet, gentle and so professional and also risky at times, to take the best photo shoot! We not only found a great photographer!!! we found a good friend and a person that definitely will be a very special part of this experience. My daughter even want her wedding pictures one day to be taken by Ufuk!!
I highly recommended Ufuk to anyone who need to take a special moment and unforgettable one.
Thank you Ufuk from the bottom of our hearts ?
Ufuk is simply AMAZING! He really is more than a photographer. From the beginning through to the end he was always very friendly and positive. He knew what he was doing and offered endless support,advice and guidance. On the wedding day itself we felt in safe hands and it was like having a friend there with you ! There experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your lives ! As we already expected , we received wonderful photos and couldn’t be more happier with the results. He is seriously talented and genuinely loves what he does ! If you’re thinking about booking him for your wedding , DO IT!!! You won’t be disappointed ! He has captured memories we will cherish forever ♥️ ?? Thank you so much!! ??
When I first saw Ufuk’s profile on Instagram I knew i wanted him as my photographer for my wedding. Not only does he have an eye for photography, his personality and warmth made us feel very comfortable. He is innovative, real and prompt which is why we chose to work with him. Thank you for a great experience Ufuk, keep rocking it!
Overall, we were extremely happy working with Ufuk and felt fortunate to have him capturing our special moment.
From the very beginning, he was very dedicated and passionate about his job. He helped us to plan for everything (what to do on the day, where to stay, how to travel from the airport, etc.). On the day, he took us around various locations in Cappadocia and went an extra mile to ensure that the photos would be good. Also, he was incredibly friendly and easy going, making sure we have fun and comfortable in front of the camera. Ultimately, the photos we received could not have been better.

Ufuk is an excellent photographer, very professional, communicative and kind. I was looking for a photographer to cover my wedding in Istanbul and as a foreigner, who does not speak Turkish, it was challenging to find someone who would have the same aesthetics, approach to wedding photography and overall have a more international outlook. I came across his profile while searching in the ‘Fearless Photographers’ website and I saw that he is also awarded multiple times for his work. When I saw samples of his work I understood that he is not the typical wedding photographer. His photographs were natural but at the same time artistic instead of the typical, boring and pretentious. Up until the wedding day, our entire communication took place via emails and whats app calls. I was surprised on how easy it was to communicate with him even without meeting once and to coordinate all the details. Although I have never met him, he made me feel secure and I was not stressed at all on the wedding day. Ufuk ended up covering not only the ceremony in Istanbul but a second ceremony in Athens, Greece as well as a couple’s session in the Acropolis and Athens city center. All sessions where very different from one another and Ufuk was able not only to adjust but also to direct. What was surprising is that during the sessions the guests were so impressed by his work ethic that they would come to me or to him directly to ask for his contact details.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the quality of the photographs, work ethic and approach of Ufuk and I would definitely recommend him.
Ufuk is by far one of the best photographers we ever had. We wanted to have a pregnancy photosession in Cappadocia and I was looking for a person, who can both create some artistic photos (and not just a person with a good camera) and also a person which can show us around and be a good companion.
Looking back I can definitely say that Ufuk exceeded our expectations! First of all, we have so many amazing photos, that I can’t even choose which ones to hang on the wall, there are so many amazing ones. Ufuk has a definite taste for good views, interesting angles. What I also liked is that he corrects the poses and adjusted us towards the natural light, so that the amazing shots are not made by accident, but by an experience and professionalism of a photographer. So it’s not up to chance whether you will have great shots, you will DEFINITELY have them, as Ufuk knows his craft in and out and is actively participating in making the magic happen.
Also he know all the hidden gems and great places to take pictures at, with the best views, least crowds. He also explores new places (for example, when we started our day, he said that yesterday he got curious and checked one more unusual location and liked it and wanted to try it with us). So you get really the best views of Cappadocia with Ufuk knowing all the typical great places as well as some others, where no one is coming.
And lastly, it was just a very pleasant day for us, it was very easy to communicate, Ufuk was an interesting person to spend the day with and talk about a lot of topics. So we felt both at ease (which is extremely important!!) and in good and very pleasant company.
I would definitely recommend him as your go-to photographer for your important moments, we have done 10+ different couple photosessions and the result and experience of this one is on top of our list.
Ufuk, wishing you all the best in your creative journey, you are a great professional and a very nice person! And we are happy we got to know you.
Magnificent person, great professional, and a marvelous artist. It’s very hard to find somebody, who combines all three, but Ufuk does.
Fully reliable as a professional, not only captures the feelings but also offers you a vivid represantion of the whole story in an unique, creative way, which definetaly hoöds his signature.
Dear Ufuk, you offered us more than a documentation of our wedding. You gave as smthg that will pass to our descedants and always remind us of what happened that beautiful day.
As a family we are Really happy to get to know to you, and as a photographer myself really amazed of your passion for art.
Always grateful to you. What you do and present goes beyond expectations!
The photos were in Goreme, in the land of beautiful horses and hot air balloons. We met in the early morning and were all grins to start the day. Ufuk’s passion and light-hearted manner instantly put us at ease. He handled the lighting, positioning and managed to set up the shots perfectly! My fiancée and I were at first nervous, yet Ufuk gained our trust with his professionalism and well experienced instructions. Even cracking a joke to allow us to RELAX. Thank god for that!
He knows where all the best places are and has an amazing sense of composition, mood and scene. He captured everything on film. Looking at the photos, we I are teleported back in time & place to that wonderful day. It’s as if we relive every exciting moment again! We are truly blessed to be given such a gift!
If you really are serious about your photography, put your trust in Ufuk. Anyone can take photos, but he captures the moments when you’re in each others arms, and when you’re natural. Naturally in love.
You’ll rarely meet a professional as dedicated, skilled and fun! He’s a good friend to us both. And I’m sure he’ll amaze you. I’ll choose him for more photos in future to renew wedding vows. Until next time, teşekkür ederim!
Ufuk! You are the man. Honestly cannot even express how much gratitude I have. You are the best photographer anyone could ever ask for.
I planned a surprise proposal in Cappadocia and I contacted Ufuk to help. He was always so pleasant and professional. We facetimed to plan and he gave excellent suggestions for places to stay that would capture the picture perfect moment. He was extremely easy to reach and always took time out for us.
For the proposal day, he was there early and ready to go. Everything went perfectly as planned. He captured the moment beautifully and was so helpful throughout the entire process. He even stayed extra to get pictures with the balloons after the proposal.
Afterwards he took us on a tour throughout Cappadocia for all the best photo spots for a photo shoot and we did drone footage as well. He was not only a great photographer but also gave us a great tour.
Ufuk has such a great personality. Immediately from the facetime we felt comfortable. I am nervous in general for photos but Ufuk made it seem so effortless and made us feel such at ease. When he sent the photos he edited and took, they were better than I could have ever imagined. It brought tears to my eyes how beautiful they were.
Ufuk was not just our photographer. He became our friend to the end. I am thankful for your service and am definitely going to hire Ufuk for future shoots. I 1000% recommend Ufuk!
Simply we could not be more pleased with our wedding photos.Ufuk has a great eye on detail. He is a very talented photographer. From early morning till next day early morning he captured our best moments with passion. I still have goosebumps every time I look at our photos even after many months.. Each of them represent an intense emotion. He totally achieved to reflect our character and energy into photos. No need for many words Ufuk you really are a very good photographer and we are so glad to have you together with us in our special day. Thank you for documenting our emotions as memories… Lots of Love .. Cagda & Mudit
We have a great experience with Ufuk and David in Turkey. All of my feelings can be expressed as a “PASS”, Passion, Awesome, Surprise, Splendid.
1. PASSION, Ufuk showed his 100% passion and profession in wedding shooting. We both feel we are so lucky in terms of inviting him to be our photographer.
2. AWESOME, when we showed our pre-wedding pictures to family and friends, all of them are like those photos very much. They all have a great impression on these awesome photos.
3. SUEPEISE. During the shooting trip, sometimes we don’t have the best environment for pictures. Ufuk always surprisingly make imperfect become perfect, and always have plan B also. Therefore we don’t have any bad memory in that trip.
4. SPLENDID. Ufuk is really good at using the splendid view as background in wedding photos. Unlike Korean competitor, his photos express a harmony between nature and human, instead of focusing on people.
Thanks to Turkey and Ufuk, we could have such wonderful photos. We appreciate his work very much!
Ufuk has a great personality and we felt very comfortable with him taking our wedding photos. His style let’s us be natural and for the most part, we can be ourselves while he takes our photos. He knows some secret locations and it was great because some of those photos turned out to be some of the best in the whole album. He also treated us to some Turkish tea while we were on break and even taught me where to go in Istanbul for a great panoramic shot of the city. He is very friendly and kind and you will no doubt have a great time with him!
Ufuk is also very professional as he responded to my emails very quickly. No matter the question, he had an answer so I was confident on who I was dealing with. I had messaged other people too while looking for a photographer and Ufuk was the best out of all of them. We also received our photos a bit earlier than expected and that was a plus.
We did our wedding photos in Cappadocia and went for package 2 and we would highly recommend you to also rent a car. Goreme itself has a lot of nice views but it is a bit limited. You would definitely need a car to go around Cappadocia to get some of the best shots and more variety. Ufuk’s knowledge of the area is fantastic as he’s done this dozens of times so you would feel safe in the hands of a professional.
It was great having you take our wedding photos and thank you so much! All the best!
We got married almost like two years ago, and l just had a chance to look at all of our photos. How talented you are Ufuk! Its now 10.30 pm and l have been looking to our photos since 6.00pm with a big smile on my face. Thanks for the amazing photos again! You didn’t miss even a second, l felt like I was in our wedding again. THANK YOU 🙂
We first met with Ufuk at the wedding of Birsen and Rainer in Baden Baden, Germany in 2016. He was so close and warm. It was a feeling like we know each other since years. We kept in touch after Baden Baden. We didn’t know at that time that we would marry each other but we knew if we would marry one day Ufuk will be our wedding photographer. When we decided to marry, we contacted him directly and he said yes and made us very happy. That was the best decision ever.
December 2017, when we choosed our wedding destination Turkey we visited Ufuk and his family and had a great time with them. He and his wife were a great support while we planned our wedding in Cesme. We checked some venues and decided to marry at a beach club. We decided to make holiday, wedding and honeymoon in Cesme with our relatives. So about 120 people from Europe came and make holiday with us and that was the most wonderful part of our wedding. As Ufuk write in his notes we got married while we were on holiday with our lovely family and friends.
How would we describe Ufuk?
Ufuk is a wonderful person with a positive energy. He is calm and have a solution for every problem. While he is taking picture, he is giving you a great feeling like you are the most important person on earth. He is so smooth that you can’t see him at your wedding but he is everywhere. Everybody can get in touch with Ufuk and he treat everyone with love and respect. He is seeing things you can’t see. He is catching every emotional moment at your wedding what you can’t see at that time. He is not just a photographer he is a good soul with a big heart. All of our guests got a good vibe from him. We are grateful to had him with us while our wedding day. Thanks a lot. Wish you and your family the best and a healthy long life. We keep in touch. We are looking forward to meet you again as soon as possible.
Ufuk’s experience and passion are remarkable, that’s why we put all our trust in him and he didn’t disappoint us. We couldn’t be happier with the results! We got married in Italy and a week later we had another celebration in Turkey. Ufuk followed both events. During the wedding, he was always ready with his camera and he was very careful to not miss a detail. He captured every single moment and each time we watch the pictures, we live the emotions again and again with the same excitement of the wedding day. His photography is art and his talent in transmitting the feelings through the camera is extraordinary. You can feel and breath the passion of Ufuk in each shoot.
Ufuk is a great photographer and a wonderful person. Friendly, positive, always welcoming and ready to support, he was precious before, during, and after the wedding.
No doubts, we recommend Ufuk to all the couples!
Ufuk, thank you for everything. We are lucky to have found you and have shared with you the most important day(s) of our life!
Ufuk is by far the most outstanding person we could have booked for our wedding. We planned it from across the Atlantic, and he met us in our destination country. He made everything so easy and was so personable and thoughtful. His professionalism and care for us as a couple was unparalleled. He is truly an artist, you can feel the passion in him and his work. His priority was us and our day and he made sure to capture the most magical moments. We were left with a work of art rather than posed, artificial moments. He made us feel comfortable, and we didn’t have to miss any special moments for him to accommodate his vision. If you’re on the fence about booking him, even after seeing what he’s capable of, just go for it and you will be thankful for the rest of your life. We are so thankful for Ufuk, and his team, and how he captured our special day. We will remember this forever, and have the most perfect record of how that day felt.
We really feel like we made a friend in Ufuk. His heart is so deep and invested in his work and the people around him. He is so kind and felt like family in our intimate wedding.
Me and My Husband got married at Help Beach, Fethiye in September 2018, both being creative and having a lot of friends who are photographers we had very high expectations. Having spoke to Ufuk and viewing his work we definitely knew that we wanted him as our photographer for our wedding. He was efficiant throughout the whole process. On our wedding day Ufuk done an pre wedding photoshoot with us in the morning and made me us feel very comfortable from the start, he was happy to go with an ideas that we had as well initiating ideas himself. During our actual wedding Ufuk was constantly taking photos capturing all the different things that was going on, we now have our wedding photos back and our incredibly happy with the images, they are definitely helping us relive our wedding day! Thanks you so much Ufuk!
Hi Ufuk! Sorry for the delay in writing this testimonial!
Dear readers, I engaged Ufuk has my pre-wedding photographer sometime in Mar / April 2018 following a recommendation from a friend whom engaged his services back in 2015. I must say that this is one of the best decisions of my life.
I took my wedding shots in Cappadocia, the most magical place on Earth. I have been in contact with Ufuk for several weeks prior to the wedding shoot. He is very professional, responsive and patient in answering all our questions, since it will be the first time I’m going to Turkey (and for a very important photoshoot as well).
I finally went to Cappadocia and met Ufuk. From the moment I met, I knew that this guy knows his job – and he knows it well. He knows all the best spots around Cappadocia for the perfect photo, and he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that we get the best photos, as this is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
We were supposed to shoot on Tuesday morning, unfortunately it rained and we couldn’t get the chance to shoot with the hot air balloons. Nevertheless Ufuk devised an alternate plan and got us a night shoot instead. The photos turned out amazing. Ufuk also extended his stay to Wednesday so that we could get a chance to take photos with the hot air balloons. I’m forever grateful that he is willing to do that for us – those photos have been immortalised and have received many exceptional feedback from friends, families and even strangers – praising Ufuk’s amazing photography skills.
I’m also pleased to know that some of the photos he took for us have won amazing photography awards!
Aside to that, Ufuk is a really pleasant guy, very friendly, professional and just damn cool. I miss Cappadocia a lot, and would like to go back there soon. Hope to see you again some day Ufuk!!
Ufuk is the best! He was one of the best decision we made with regards to our wedding. He is professional, efficient and very friendly. He is creative and talented and you can trust his vision. The photos are awesome and he was everywhere on that day to capture every moment. It was a pleasure to meet and work with him and his team. They really know what you really want for wedding. I cannot imagine a wedding without him and definitelly recommend him to everyone.
Thank you so much ?
Ufuk was the best photographer we could have hoped for. After looking through many lacklustre wedding photographer portfolios, his portfolio was the clear winner, and our photos were every bit as beautiful as the ones that first made us fall in love with his work.
What really attracted us to them was how they didn’t look staged or contrived. Since we are not models, this was important to us. We really wanted beautiful photos of us being happy and having an experience, not trying to play a photographic role.
As for our actual wedding:
He communicated well with us, and sent us a nice list of wedding advice before the wedding, which was helpful.
He was on time and cheerful!
The second and third shooters he chose were pleasant and took great photos, too.
We were a bit disorganized and he went with the flow.
He made us look 1000% more beautiful than we are in real life! (He may try to deny this, but really shouldn’t because it’s true and also his ability to do this is 100% why you should hire him.)
My Mom thought he was really nice.
Our only wish we had had a little more time to spend talking to him. It would have been nice to chat more on a more relaxed day.
If you have the opportunity for Ufuk take your wedding photos you will leave from the entire experience more than just photos. In our search we looked at the galleries of over 70 photographers for our wedding and Ufuk was our finalist! His style captures life at its best.
Ufuk made our wedding day one of the most incredible and memorable days of our lives. He travelled to Santorini 3 days in advance to scope out all of the locations for photos and even found the remote and private place for us to say our vows.
He was more than full service as he drove us around, providing great conversation along the way. The best part was that his acrobatic photography positions made us laugh the whole time. Anything to get the best shot!
He is a remarkable person and takes so much pride in his work!
His passion was evident even in the reveal of the final product as he wanted to share the moment with us via Skype. He wanted to experience our joy when we finally got to see the photos.
He was able to capture so much emotion from us, which were then able to share with our friends and family that weren’t able to join.
He will truly change your life for the better. I could never imagine a better person to experience you special day with as he added so much joy and happiness to our wedding!
Tanıştığımız ilk günden itibaren pozitif enerjisi ve güler yüzüyle bizi rahatlatan, doğal halinizin en güzel anlarını siz farketmeden yakalayan muhteşem bir yetenek! Düğün günü kapıyı açar açmaz kocaman gülüşüyle karşılıyor insanı. Dost kahkahalar eşliğinde her anı en güzel haliyle ölümsüzleştiriyor. Düğüne katılan herkesle ilgilenip sanki düğün sahibiymişcesine bir samimiyet kurduğunuz, en özel günümüzde bizimle birlikte heyecanımızı paylaştığınız ve muhteşem fotoğraflarınız için çook teşekkür ederiz.
Ufuk…How to just express our gratitude to this great man.
He gave us not only the most beautiful photos you can ever imagine but a great experience overall.
He is a warm person who is so easy to communicate with from the beginning. He rented a car for our photo shoot and after all he showed us the most beautiful sceneries of Cappadocia.
He is just not typical photographer. He let you be yourself and he will catch the moments. He has great ideas that he shares unobtrusively.
Thank you for magical moments and photos!
Ufuk you are an amazing photographer! Your positive energy, attitude and level of professional is unseen!!
We knew our precious moments were safe with you from the start.
The wedding day is only one day but you made us relive all the emotions again with our photographers. We both actually cried and laughed looking when we first saw them. Thank you so much! You will forever be in our fairytale story!
20.02 2018; Proposal and Pre-wedding shoot ; Cappadocia, Turkey.
Ufuk, the photographer
Ufuk is very dedicated and passionate about his job. You can easily tell by the effort that he puts in. In our case, he flew on day earlier to Cappadocia to scout for the places for the proposeal and also photo shooting. Not also mention, that he amount of effort he had prepared earlier (secretly planning the proposal with my then bf and now fiance), booking the hotels, rented the car and keeping in touch with us before the shooting day. Our day started earlier and Ufuk drove us around to the best scene for photo shoot. By noon time, we were tired our selves but Ufuk still going on and even set up the drone for our last location. No doubt on the level of dedication and professionalism that Ufuk has portrayed. Ultimately, the videos and photos that he had presented was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t be more happy with the results.
Ufuk, the person.
It was easy to work with Ufuk. There’s not much requirements or strict instructions but he was able to capture the moment and delivered high quality photos and videos.
It was a pleasure working with him. Even before we meeting him in person, we already felt comfortable chatting with him over skype. He has a great personality. He is understanding, caring and patience.
We will definitely work with Ufuk in the future. We felt comfortable with him and very satisfied with his work.
To Ufuk,
Looking forward to our next project 🙂 Thank you very much for everything.
David&Zeynep August 18-20 Villa Pliniana, Lake Como, Italy
Ufuk was one of the best decisions we made with regards to our wedding. His photographs were wonderful and really captured the feel of the entire weekend.
He was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Professional, efficient, friendly and, most importantly, took the most fabulous photographs of our wedding. He stayed up taking pictures with us and our friends until 5am, we highly recommend him to everyone. Thank you Ufuk. We love your work!
I could write an essay here, but i will keep this short and sweet. A bad photographer for my wife and i is that awkward stranger that sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the guests, demands cheesey stiff poses “say cheeeese!”…ufuk is none of this. From the moment we spoke on skype whilst planning, to arriving at the wedding with his bow tie, he was amazing. He was acommodating, natural, and just awesome at his job. The photos are incredible…we can look back after many years and still remember the best day of our lives, proudly. Thanks Ufuk!
Every couple want to have their important day pictured as good as possible and Ufuk is the amazing artist to do it. Him and his team are extremely professional with the kindest of personalities. In that day everyone is already stressed out and a personality like Ufuk’s just smoothes out the whole day. Then it’s just left to the couple to be themselves and enjoy the day as Ufuk and his team finds the best ways to picture you.
We were amazed how the pictures came out and extremely grateful that we got to have him for our wedding day. Every couple should also consider getting the wedding albums, it’s extremely well made and worth every penny.
If we were to re-live that day, we would again hire him. Thank you Ufuk!
It is so hard to find a wedding photographer! They are the person who you will rely on to immortalize such an important day. But let me tell you with the highest confidence that Ufuk is the person to trust.
We loved having him as our photographer. He is professional, reliable and tremendously detail oriented. We are absolutely over the moon with the brilliant photos. We really couldn’t be happier! and everyone cannot stop raving about how wonderful our pictures came out.
He is an amazing photographer and most importantly a great person to be around. All the wedding stress we had, simply disappeared when Ufuk arrived. I recommend him to everyone as he really showed high professionalism and extremely positive attitude throughout our special day. Thank you Ufuk!!!!
Being a wedding photographer myself I can easily assure you that Ufuk is a true professional. Regardless of the event, he brings his complete kit making him ready all types of shots. Strobe shots are his speciality and he is making interesting portrays even in 12:00 am disgusting daylight. He is very motivated all the time and not much time concerned. I do really appreciate his struggle to take the best picture.
Wishing him the best of luck…
Bonus: He is tall which is a good thing for party shots.
It was a great day shooting with Ufuk in Palermo. He is so talented, creative and professional and is able to help you relax and feel comfortable to trust in his vision. When my friends saw the pictures they were so impressed, I cannot recommend him highly enough. On top of it all he is just a really nice easy going guy and it was a pleasure to meet him!
Hi Ufuk,
Evrim and I would like to thank you and Fatih 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!
Ufuk and his team really understood they understand what we had imagined, absolutely beautiful. We have awesome photos. And he has an amazing talent for capturing moments. He and their team can understand that what you really want for wedding. Thank you for everything.
We have amazing memoris thanks to you.
It was such a lovely photoshoot session with Ufuk. We met at sunrise in Cappadocia, Turkey. We quickly got acquianted as none of us really knew where to go and driving on ice and snow is certainly challenging in Turkey. The photoshoot turned into a mini adventure with Ufuk bright, kind and creative personality. Ufuk was able to capature the moments beautifully and went out of his comfort zone for this shoot, especially in the freezing cold! We were able to correspond even on different continents and time zones and meet on the day of.
The photos captured are beautiful work, we are both very satisfied.
Keep up the good job and thank you for this special shooting.
Ufuk is an excellent photographer, we are so glad that we have found Ufuk to take our pre-wedding photos in Turkey during our travel. His photos are great in style and we have a lovely day with him for the photo shooting.
Excellent communications and awesome photos, I will definitely recommend Ufuk to everyone!!
Ufuk has such an amazing talent for capturing ‘moments’ which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was – it’s the natural fun and excitement that is so important to be documented. Ufuk’s ability not to miss a moment is incredible, and his energy and passion comes across in the photos. He is able to blend in so well that your guests and literally will not realise they’re being photographed. We could not recommend Ufuk more
My husband and I are very picky when it comes to film and photography. Take it from an artist and a filmmaker: Ufuk is a pro and you can trust his skills. We are so happy that he provided what he promised. He managed to capture the essence of our small but fantastic spring wedding in Cyprus. We are ever so grateful to him and we do recommend his service.
Me and Korel could not be happier with our wedding photos and video! You and your team really did capture such amazing memories and we will look back on these moments in years to come. Everyone who has watched our video cannot believe how professional it is… like something from a movie! It really is everything I had dreamed of and more. Not only do we have all the photos to look back on but the photo albums you have put together was the icing on the cake. Something that I would never have thought of doing myself but they really are amazing. Thank you so much to you and your team Ufuk!!! We would happily recommend you to anyone.
From the moment we saw Ufuk’s portfolio, we wanted him to take our wedding photos. Although he was not immediately available, he confirmed soon after that he could work with us and offered to have a skype meeting to discuss the wedding details and our requirements. Shortly before the wedding, he also sent some useful tips and details that would help him deliver great photos on the day. Ufuk is very professional and has great personality which reflected throughout the wedding day. He made us comfortable during the shooting which made the whole process easy and fun for us. As expected, we were amazed with the photos when we received them. We would certainly recommend Ufuk to any couple around the world as you would not be disappointed. Thank you very much Ufuk!
We were searching for the ultimat photographer for our wedding ceremony. We were looking for the one photographer that could make our memories deathless, but in the most natural way. We wanted a photographer that could capture:
1) natural moments in an artistic way, but without editing the photographs too much
2) fantastic smiles and laughs
3) funny dance moves
4) the joy in our, and our friends and families eyes
5) the touchy feelings in our body language
6) us posing without making us uncomfortable in the situation
7) our story and culture, that is pretty mixed
Ufuk Sarisen did ALL of this and BEYOND what we would imagine! He is a warm, humble and trustworthy human being, and a fantastic photographer!
We are unbelievably thankful!
Thank you for coming, even though it was a traumatic coup attempt in Turkey, that made your trip to Cyprus chaotic and harsh! We will NEVER forget it!
We see a friend in you now, and we want you to know that you are welcome to Norway any time!
Well, I could easily start and finish by explaining how great Ufuk, as a photography artist, is, but I do not think it would be fair to him as it would not be sufficient to frame the full picture of Ufuk; he is way beyond that.
My wife and I had several discussions with many prominent wedding photographers in Turkey; photographer was the most critical aspect of our wedding for my lovely wife. We ended up with Ufuk after long conversations and we do not have any regrets at all; he is a true professional, a great artist and he certainly rocks! Humbly, he gained our respect at the very first second of our conversation across Atlantic with his professional approach, humble characters and open hearth. Then when we were in Turkey for wedding preparations and he wanted to meet with us to know us better, check! I guess we had a 2 hours long coffee session in Istanbul, at that point he evolves from a professional photographer to a friend who is attending your wedding to take your photos; you start feeling much comfortable, and that helps during the photo shoots.
On that day, he and his friend flew into my wife’s hometown and rest was smooth and fun. He does not force you to pose in conventional style, he just guides you and than captures those magical moments at the right time and the right place. He is not there, you do not see him and he does not bother you during the wedding, he is a ghost photographer, and you just receive a beautiful set of photographs that will carry most fantastic instances of your day to your future. You will love him.

My husband and I held our wedding ceremony in Safranbolu, Turkey. We were very pleased to have chosen Ufuk Sarisen and his team for producing a short film of our wedding. Our wedding photos and cinematic wedding video were stunning. All the photographers did a wonderful job. They were very friendly, professional, creative and fun to work with. We received continuous compliments from our family members and friends about the photos and video. We truly relive those special moments every time we watch the film. We highly recommend Ufuk Sarisen and his great team to future couples.
thank you dear Gozde and Zafer, It was honour for us to work with both of you. I hope see you again. In behalf of me and the team we wish you a cheerful and happy life.
Since 2012, my husband and I have engaged photographers on our vacations to commemorate our trips. When we decided to go to Istanbul in September 2014, we knew it was a city that needed to be captured professionally. Ufuk was a pleasure to work with and the pictures turned out amazing! He captured some great candid moments between my husband and I that still makes me smile every time I look at the pictures. When our travels take us back to Turkey, we will definitely do another photo session with Ufuk. Thanks for the great pictures Ufuk!
and forgot to mention that thanks to Ufuk, our pictures ended up in Cosmopolitan Bride magazine, which is an amazing memory to show our kids in the future 🙂
Ufuk gave us exactly what we envisioned our wedding pictures would look like. We met him first time on the day of the wedding, and immediately warmed up to him. He is kind, friendly, and he really cares about what the couple wants. He is extremely professional, and has fun while taking pictures, which also reflected onto us. We also did a separate day of shooting by the sea, much more relaxed and without pressure and got to know him a little more. That was a lot of fun! He is flexible, interested in trying different styles to fit your desires. Most importantly, he managed to capture our love and happiness in the pictures, with our natural smiles and without the stress of the wedding. Our wedding album, and video look absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. Every time we look at our pictures, or watch our video, we live those amazing moments again, so we cannot thank Ufuk and his team enough for immortalizing our most special day. Come visit us sometime in Madrid, and thanks again for everything.. Kisses, Ozge and Karsten
Ufuk is the name if you want to make your wedding day even more memorable than you could ever imagine. Ufuk really knows what he is doing but perhaps more important than that, he visibly enjoys what he does; he is kind, helpful, positive, accommodating and incredibly easy to work with. The very first moment we came together to discuss the specifics, he felt more like a friend loaded with good advice than a stranger with a packaged protocol; this made it very easy for us to skip all the other options we had at the time and stick with Ufuk all the way. The trick to Ufuk’s work is that he genuinely engages with his clients, puts effort into understanding what their expectations are and gets to know them as much as he can till the big day arrives. Seeing Ufuk and his team around us during the preps took the weight of those moments off our shoulders big time. They work with a distinct type of smoothness and professionalism that deserves admiration. Looking back at all those beautiful pictures takes us back to the minutes and hours we never want to forget, and the memories come with a special kind of air that Ufuk beautifully crafted for us. We recommend no other person than Ufuk if you are looking not only for a photographer but also an artist and a brilliant friend whatever the occasion may be.. Cheers and much love Ufuk, keep rocking it!
wouw what a comment! you really made me happy. Working with special people results to special photos and footages. Thanks for everything. I hope see you again
We were looking for a wedding photographer and videographer for our wedding near Munich in Germany. Our dear friend Kem recommended Ufuk and his team as he had made a great experience with his services already.
We also decided to work with Ufuk and it was the best decision we could make. The work is really professional. He took pictures at the wedding ceremony and the party and a separate shooting in the nature just the two of us. The result is really stunning. Professional work with beautiful pictures and amazing video that caught all important moments and saved them forever!
Thank you so much for being there and working with us
It was one of the best experience in our photo – video life. Being there with you was an amazing experience for us. Thanks for your hospitality and great moments.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Ufuk. He is a very friendly and accommodating person to work with. His professionalism is unwavering. Not only did he captured our happy moments in the best light, he also gave us an introduction into the culture of Turkey. We are very satisfied with his service and the photos turned out to be exceptionally beautiful! His attention to details, lighting, colors and the surrounding is just amazing. We are incredibly lucky to have met Ufuk and his beautiful wife, and this pre-wedding photoshoot has definitely made our trip to Turkey delightful and extra memorable. Teşekkürler!
Planing a wedding is a hard thing to do especially if you are planning get married abroad. We are a couple who lives London but my husband and I are always wanted to get married back at home where we grew up.
And as a couple first thing we wanted to make sure that we have a brilliant wedding photographer. it was so important for us because we knew that the photos will be the only memory we’ll have from our wedding. When we looked back we didn’t want to fell sorry about our wedding photos.
So we did a really long searches and lots of emails with lots of different photographers and when we find Ufuk’s web site I was almost sure we were going to go further with him. But I wanted to make sure his albums are as good as his web site so on Christmas holiday we went to Istanbul and arranged meeting with him at his office.
As soon as we went his office we saw how professional he is. He was very friendly and welcoming. Also very professional and formal which I liked the most about him ( because some photographer we met earlier were a bit too relaxed and informal ) anyway he was listening us carefully and trying to help as much as possible. We were a bit confused in some ways and he was really good for finding a good solutions for our situation.
Photo albums were really good quality as well. Albums pages has got good design and good size.
When we left his office we were definitely sure he was the perfect person for our wedding photos and we can trust him for 100%.
Back at London communication with whim was very easy as well. He was always replying our email with in a short time, we were also able to contact him through Skype and WhatsApp. Couple of days before the wedding day we met with him once more to go through everything.
AND ON OUR WEDDING DAY he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
His team and him self kept every thing under control. They started very early morning until late evening but always positive and understanding. We had a Bosporus tour and went to Prince Islands and believe me in the middle of August walking up to hill with all those equipment it’s not an easy job!! ( especially the guy who was doing a videography I still feel sorry for him 🙂 )
We’ve only seen couple of pictures so far because we had to back to London after honeymoon but we are going to Istanbul in December and CAN’T WAIT TO SEE all photos and the video.
We know they are going to be AMAZING.
We DEFINITELY! DEFINITELY! DEFINITELY! RECOMMEND UFUK AND HIS TEAM TO ALL THOSE COUPLES WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A BRILLIANT PHOTOGRAPHER!!!
waouww what a comment even more then comment I went those days with your words. Thanks a lot dear Umran and Haci. I hope you will be happy with your prints, ı am looking forward to meet you again. And yes you are right he probably lost at least 2 kilograms at the island’s hills:) good for him…
I will forever have great memories of my wedding day of course; however, to have such beautiful photos for my family and future kids to see is something else. And I have UFUK to thank for this outcome.
Simply put, Ufuk and his team are professionals and very personable group of guys. Creative pictures are something you need in wedding occasions – As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words.
I only have to add: Ufuk’s pictures are worth a million words!
I was looking for a photographer for our wedding that was going to take place in Kalkan.I was so lucky to find Ufuk and after talking to him he was willing to fly to Kalkan and be part of our special day. We had the pleasure to work with him and see his talent at our wedding back in 2013. What an experience and what a day. Ufuk was extremely professional and super duper talented. We loved our pictures and we loved working with him. I can’t recommend him enough 🙂
Thank you so much Ufuk it was a pleasure meeting you and working with you!
thanks Simar, it was really great day, I can never forget the villa’s terrace with pool and amazing agean sea view. if you come here again just let me know:) best
I could not have imagined my wedding pictures to look any better than they do now. They are absolutely beautiful and Ufuk and his team really understood and captured what we had imagined. Myself and most of our bridal party do not speak Turkish but he was able to walk us through the whole process in English and made everybody feel comfortable.
The pictures are really a dream come true. Thank you so much for these amazing memories!!!
Our wedding took place at D-Hotel Maris in the beginning of September 2015.
We were searching for a person who could capture our most important moments and can take everything possible from the scenery of this location.
Ufuk’s works presented on his web-page showed that we have the same vision of what should be the end-result.
Well, at the end we are really happy about the fact that we took that decision and invited Ufuk.
I am going to be short:
1. Ufuk is extremely professional, we are 100% satisfied with the result.
2. He and his team are very nice and hard working people.
3. We do definitely recommend him for any type of event.
Dear Pasha+Ksenia, you are the persons know what they want so my work was easy with you. By the way we got the best result. Thanks and hope to see you again…
Ufuk captured my travels to Istanbul for the very first time. We spent the day visiting the major sights to see around town. Ufuk is not only a great photographer but a really nice man. The memories of my time in Istanbul will always remain vivid in my mind because I have wonderful images to remind me of my time there. I plan to work with Ufuk on another photo collaboration sometime in the future. He’s a great photographer who understands how to capture candid moments and gorgeous natural light.
We found Ufuk by an internet search for a “trash-the-dress” photographer.
We,ve been impressed of the pictures shown on this website and fell in love with the chosen locations and scenery.
After some E-Mails and a video call the decission was made. So we’ve met the really nice guy personal in Instanbul for a shooting on Princes’ Islands. He supported every “funny” idea we discussed before and suggested a lot of incredible places and situations for a lot of remarkable memories of our special day. We,ve been on trees, streets, stairs, vehicles, together with children and animals, at the beach and finally in the water! The digital images we received afterwards are great and very professional. It was a wonderful day and a great experience together with Ufuk.
We just wanted to write a comment to express how happy and thankful we are that we chose Ufuk amd his team to do our photography and videography for our destination wedding in Oludeniz. We were recommended Ufuk by a lady who I met on a Facebook group fo our wedding package company. We were a little nervous as we knew we would not meet him until our wedding day. It was the best decision we made for out wedding. Ufuk always kept in communication and reassured us every step of the way.. answering many questions amd talking to us on Skype.
On the wedding day Ufuk and his wonderful team were brilliant. His wife was taking photographs too and I loved her company and calming presence. The whole team were so professional and had everything under control and I had no worries on the day and felt very relaxed.
We have just seen our wedding video and shared with family. It captured every moment and emotion beautifully and brought tears to so many people’s eyes.. Even those that hadn’t been able to make the wedding day. The footage is choreographed beautifully to the music and it has captured not only the whole day into 7 minutes. . But it also reflects ou relationship.. All the laughter. . Smiles.. glances and showing all our sides of being best friends, a bride a mother and a groom And a father . And also our friends and family.
The video and photos are something we are going to truly treasure for the rest of our lives. We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful team to be with us on our wedding day. Ufuk and his team will always hold a special place in our hearts for the service they gave us and I hope one day we can book them for our son’s wedding (no retirement for you guys sorry!)
Thank you again so much Ufuk. You amd yor team are the most talented people I know in your field and I hope we meet again.
Dear Alby, I will try to be with you in your wedding day if I can still take photos (maybe my robots can do it, who knows:).
Dear Amanda and Dean, thanks ytour kind words, you were really special couple and we will never forget you.
Peace…
We all do a lot to arame a perfect wedding to out mind and taste of course… I just learnt this when I was doing all the arrangement for my wedding. It is hard and stressful and takes you through a lot. But all the arrangements aside there is one and only one single decision / selection that you have to make which is the most important one! That’s choosing your photographer and videographer.
Everything from your wedding will be forgotten! The taste of the food, good or bad will be passed! The colour of your flowers, the design, etc., good or bad will be forgotten. But photos and videos are the only thing that you will have for rest of your life as a single piece of memory from the most important day of your life.
We planned our destination wedding in Turkey with absolutely no knowledge from the local places and services. My wife and I looked to find a photographer for a long time and we checked the sample works of many people in Turkey and even some other close countries.
The minute I saw sample works of Ufuk I loved it and I said to my partner that this is what we want.
I can’t explain how satisfied and happy we are with the choice we made.
In the wedding day we couldn’t be happier when we met him and his team. A happy team with great attitude made us so comfortable and natural. Soon he and his team became us and we were so comfortable.
One thing I very much liked about his was the fact that he didn’t try to keep directing us to do fake postures for the sake of fake photos. With a bit of direction he left us be ourselves and record what we were and how we were feeling in every moment.
We just saw 7000 raw photos and we very much liked them.
We can’t wait to see the final wedding photos and we are counting days as we know they are just great.
Thanks again dear Ufuk for being an important part of our big day!

I completely fell in love with Ufuk’s photography from the moment I first saw it on his site as well as with his personality. It was a great pleasure to e-meet Ufuk and to go through the shoot-planning, as he is super professional and makes everything very easy – provides details, answers immediately and leaves no space for any concerns.
The shoot itself was one of the most romantic things I have ever done in my life and it even felt that the pictures themselves come as a bonus 🙂 it was fun, easy, romantic and Ufuk created the process in a way that we were just having fun, enjoying ourselves and were just living our life in front of his camera. The pictures that we received much earlier than we could even expect were incredible and almost made me to believe that Ufuk is a magician as this photography captured everything and more – all emotions, light, beauty of the morning, Istanbul spirit- the moments that you normally don’t even see in a life routine.
Ufuk is a genius photographer and a very gifted person and I am happy in advance for all the couples who will have him on their weddings as we definitely will see Ufuk again at our future events to celebrate life together and have great memories of it captured by a Genius!
Ufuk! We could not be happier with our wedding pictures and video – you did such an amazing job capturing our wedding (and the rest of the day)! The photos and video were both full of so many sweet moments. It’s been really wonderful to be able to re-live that day. You and your team were so much fun to have at the wedding – thanks so much for everything!!
For the international audience- Ufuk is a great artist with a magnificent personality, though we met him first time personally on the wedding day it felt like we have known him forever, thus we were really relaxed and could be ourselves throughout the whole photoshoot =) Thank you Ufuk!!!
Dostum en guzel gunumuzu senin gozunden olumsuzlestirdigimiz icin cok mutluyuz:) Birlikte calismaktan cok birlikte eglenmek gibi oldu bizim icin, yanimizda hem arkadasimiz hem fotografcimizdin, tekrar cok tesekkurler harika fotograflarin icin.
My fiance came across Ufuk’s website through Google while browsing for photographers in Cappadocia. Ufuk responded to us and gave us lovely suggestions for our photoshoot. Having never been to Turkey, Ufuk’s professionalism and detailed explanation in responding to our queries have gave us a lot of confidence and excitement prior to the photoshoot.
Upon arriving there, we met up a day before the photoshoot to discuss the photoshoot locations and itinerary for the day. Being a pair of camera-shy couple, Ufuk was very patient and made us felt comfortable throughout the day. My fiance has arranged for a surprise proposal and Ufuk accomodated to the surprise and it turned out beautifully. I completely did not see it coming!
He took us around through all the photoshoot locations with a comfortable pace and breaks along the way. One of our highlights of our trip to Cappadocia is definitely the photoshoot with Ufuk. His friendly and easy going personality made us feel comfortable and after a long photoshoot day, we had a lovely time having dinner together.
We were very delighted on how the photos turned out capturing all the beautiful moments together. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending Ufuk to anybody who wants creative photographs and to just have a good time.
Hi Emily and Jay,
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I’m really happy to hear that you had a great time during your photoshoot in Cappadocia.
I’m really happy that the surprise proposal went well—it was such a special moment to capture! Having dinner together afterward was fun!
I’m touched by your kind words about the photos and the experience overall. It was truly a pleasure working with you both. Thanks a lot for the recommendation—I’d be honored to capture more memories for you or anyone else in the future.
Wishing you both lots of happiness!
Cheers,
Ufuk
We had the pleasure of working with Ufuk for our son’s baptism in Istanbul last year and ee couldn’t have been more impressed. Despite being sick, he showed up with a big smile on his face and maintained his professionalism throughout the entire event.
The photos he captured were absolutely stunning and really captured the essence of the day. From the candid moments to the posed family shots, every image was beautifully composed and truly captured the joy of the occasion.
Not only was his work top-notch, but it was also incredibly easy to reach and communicate with him from the very beginning. He was always prompt in responding to emails and phone calls, making the planning process a breeze.
On top of all that, his kindness and warm demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the final product and it truly showed in the photos.
I would highly recommend this photographer to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and kind individual to capture their special moments. Thank you for everything!
Hi there,
Your message brought so much joy to my day! I really appreciate your kind words. Your son’s baptism was a special and wonderful event, and I’m happy I could capture those precious moments for you.
Despite not feeling my best because of food poisoning a day before, your warm welcome and the joy of the occasion kept me smiling throughout. It’s fantastic to hear that you love the photos and that they captured the true essence of the day.
Being part of the entire process, from planning to delivering the final photos, was a genuine pleasure. Your recommendation means a lot to me. If there’s ever another special moment you want to capture, I’d be honored to be there.
Thank you a million for your kindness and for letting me share in your memories!
Cheers,
Ufuk
Ufuk accompanied us during our whole wedding day, from early morning, working nonstop all the way into the next day. Whenever we look back at the photos Ufuk took during this time, they feel alive and real. This is absolutely priceless and truly all we could ever ask for. We’ll be grateful to have worked with Ufuk for the rest of our lives.
He is very creative in his art while keeping the “documentary style” which doesn’t interfere with the reality of each moment. He was everywhere we couldn’t be and this was a great gift for us, that we could see later the whole experience of our wedding beyond our own individual ones. He’s also confident, relaxed and never makes you feel forced into anything. Having had a quite international wedding, we appreciated how he was a good communicator with people of all ages and cultures. We couldn’t recommend him more and would happily work with him again in the future.
Hey,
Your message means a lot! I’m really glad I could be there for your whole wedding day, capturing all those special moments. Thanks a bunch for your kind words. Wishing you both loads of happiness and many more great moments!
Cheers,
Ufuk
Hi Ufuk! We were so excited with the pictures! They look amazing! Thanks so much again for making our day very special. No words can express out appreciation.
Rocky & Victoria
thank you!!!
Ufuk was a wonderful photographer for our wedding. He captured the beautiful beach setting and the candid moments between family throughout getting ready and the evening reception.
He even assisted my husband getting ready which was so thoughtful.
We had our wedding in North Cyprus and nothing was too much effort for Ufuk. He came along to the salon to take some photos, met my family and created some beautiful photos of the monastery where we held our reception.
He speaks perfect English and was very professional. He’s also a very kind person and everyone at the wedding complimented on how lovely he was.
Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories Ufuk.
Hey,
Your message made my day! I’m so happy I could be your wedding photographer in North Cyprus. It was a blast capturing all those special moments, and helping out with the getting ready part was a pleasure!
Your wedding locations were amazing—the beach, the monastery—all so picturesque. And I’m really touched by your kind words about my work and how everyone at the wedding felt about me.
If you ever want more photos or just want to say hi, I’m here. Wishing you both a super happy life together. Thanks a bunch for letting me be part of your big day!
Cheers,
Ufuk
We traveled to Turkiye to have our pre-wedding photoshoot. The usual norm in the Philippines is to bring your own photographer – but we did not want to do that. I saw hundreds of photographers in Cappadocia but we are so happy to have ended up with Ufuk.
He answered all my queries promptly before our arrival in Turkiye. He was patient with us during the photoshoot, and helped us with poses too. But what I liked the most is that the places he brought us to are the same places you would go to had you booked a tour – the difference being that he brought us to different angles of the same view as the tours, only with little to no people getting in the way of the view.
Ufuk speaks very good english, so communicating with him was not a problem at all. Thank you for making our photoshoot something worth remembering. 🙂
Hello Denver and Deni,
Your message made me so happy! I really appreciate your kind words. Being part of your pre-wedding photoshoot in Turkey was a fantastic experience.
I’m thrilled that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the shoot. Making sure my clients have a great time is super important to me. I’m also glad you liked the locations I picked—I always try to choose spots that are special and not too crowded.
Thank you for trusting me to capture such an important moment for you. It means a lot. If you ever come back to Turkey or need anything else, feel free to reach out. Wishing you both all the happiness as you get ready for your big day!
Best,
Ufuk
Choosing Ufuk for our outdoor Cappadocia photoshoot was an absolute dream come true. His ability to capture the breathtaking landscapes and intimate moments of our special day was truly remarkable. With his guidance and expertise, every photo turned out to be a work of art, perfectly encapsulating the beauty and romance of Cappadocia. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Ufuk to anyone looking for an exceptional outdoor wedding photographer.
Hey Hector + YQ,
Your words just made my day! I’m beyond thrilled to hear that you’re so happy with the photos. It was an absolute blast capturing those moments for you. Cappadocia’s magic definitely played a big part I know:)
If you ever need more photos or just want to catch up, I’m here. Thanks a bunch for the kind words and the fantastic adventure in Cappadocia!
Cheers,
Ufuk
My wife and I traveled from Ethiopia to Turkey in April 2023 to have our pre-wedding photos taken in Cappadocia by Ufuk. By the end of the photoshoot, we were absolutely glad to have chosen Ufuk for this experience. Apart from his exceptional creativity and gifted eyes for shooting the most unique and amazing shots, he made us super comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process, which was opposite of what we had initially thought would be stressful and overwhelming. Our pictures came out amazing and we honestly haven’t been able to stop recommending him to whomever we come across that is planning a wedding or engagement in the near future. Furthermore, he was extremely patient and understanding during the post production stage where we gave him feedbacks on additional edits we wanted on the short video and some of the pictures. He accommodated our requests with excellent hospitality until we reached the level of perfection we thought was possible. Thank you for everything Ufuk and we can’t wait to work with you once again for our family shoot in Turkey very soon!!
Thank you Ahadu and Selamawit! It was just a pleasure working for you! Hoping to see you again!
We had our engagement photos taken by Ufuk and we had a very pleasant experience with him capturing our photos in Izmir, which is a special place for us.
He is very innovative and he has a great eye to capture artistic photos that not many photographers can even imagine taking. He is a quick thinker and a great observer of the surroundings to come up with artistic ideas for photos. He makes very good use of the natural light and what’s available around.
He was also very friendly and easygoing from the beginning to the end, and we felt very easy to work with him. He made the photoshoot a nice and fun experience for us. And the results are just wonderful! We had many beautiful photos turned in quickly!
Thanks Ufuk to make our engagement photoshoot a very pleasant experience, we can’t recommend him enough!
Dearest Ufuk, these images, your work are beyond my wildest dreams. You’ve captured the entire essence of our wedding, and it would have been far less complete without you. We absolutely enjoyed every minute with you and your crew, we are family! Looking forward to celebrating our 1 year together in Istanbul!
Thank you, endlessly.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ufuk as our wedding photographer in Istanbul, Turkey, and we cannot praise him enough. Ufuk went above and beyond to capture the most beautiful and heartfelt moments of our special day.
From the moment we met him, Ufuk made us feel like family. His warm and friendly personality instantly put us at ease, and it felt like we were spending time with a dear friend rather than a hired professional. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our vision and preferences for the wedding photos.
On the day of our wedding, Ufuk seamlessly blended into the background, capturing every candid smile, joyful tear, and meaningful embrace. He had an incredible ability to anticipate and capture the most magical moments, and his attention to detail was remarkable. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, as Ufuk effortlessly navigated through the event, ensuring that every important aspect was captured.
When we received the photos, we were blown away. Ufuk’s talent truly shines through in his work. The images were nothing short of breathtaking, with each frame encapsulating the emotions and essence of our wedding day. The composition, lighting, and overall aesthetic were simply stunning. Ufuk’s creativity and skill brought our memories to life, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
If we ever decide to renew our vows or have another important milestone to capture, there is no doubt in our minds that we would choose Ufuk without hesitation. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion for his craft make him a standout photographer. Not only did he provide us with remarkable photos, but he also created an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever.
Thank you, Ufuk, for going above and beyond, and for making our wedding day feel effortless and special. Your exceptional work and incredible dedication have left us with cherished memories that we will forever hold dear.
Planning your wedding can be a challenging and stressful experience. Choosing Ufuk to photograph ours was one of the easiest decisions my wife India and I made for the special day.
Ufuk had an approachable and professional attitude from the first meeting when we were vetting photographers until we received our photos.
On the wedding day, he was a wonderful friendly and calming presence. He went above and beyond to help us throughout the day and also got on really well with our guests, chatting with them and making sure everyone felt comfortable and at ease.
We now have hundreds of wonderful photos of the couple’s photoshoot we did before the ceremony, family shots and – the most important for India and myself – lively candid moments that perfectly captured emotions of the wedding day that we will always have with us to look back on. The quality of the shots we received – from angles, lighting, to positioning – is something only experienced and talented professionals can pull off.
We very much recommend him to other soon-to-be-wed couples looking for a photographer to catch genuine moments of the event and stylish couple photoshoots.

After spending so much time scouring for the perfect photographer for our wedding on the other side of the world, I found Ufuk as my number one pick and was thrilled that he was available for our dates. He was incredibly professional, friendly, and made the entire process fun with the most stunning photographs! What stood out to me about his work and why I picked him was his creative eye and willingness to experiment to capture shots that absolutely pop and grab you with emotional weight. If you want works of art for your wedding photography, Ufuk couldn’t be a better choice.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for the beautiful way you captured our wedding photos. Your images bring both of us so much joy. We will never tire of looking at them.

My husband and I were going for a trip to Cappadocia and found Ufuk online. We decided and went ahead to do our post-wedding shoot with Ufuk, and we were blown away by his photos!! Truly unique and one of a kind, if you’re looking for something extraordinary don’t look any further and contact Ufuk rightaway.
The experience we had was amazing, he made us feel very relaxed throughout and he goes the extra mile to make the photos turn out according to what we asked for. Probably the best wedding photographer in town!
Thanks again Ufuk for taking these special moments for us that would last a lifetime!
Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to share your experience with me.

Thank you again for choosing me as your photographer and for your wonderful recommendation. If you ever need photography services in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Warm regards,
Ufuk
We were recommended Ufuk by a friend for our wedding in London and he was great every step of the way. We had to postpone our wedding date due to covid-19 and he was supportive and understanding throughout the process and he was able to postpone to our new wedding date. We had many chats during the process and he was patient when scheduling a new date. On the day he was attentive and made sure to catch all of the special moments while making us feel completely relaxed and at ease. We were over the moon when we received the pictures, the moments were so perfectly captured. If you want someone who cares about your special day just as much as you, then we would definitely recommend Ufuk Sarisen!
Dear Sitem & Can,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and leaving such a wonderful review. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of your special day and capture those beautiful moments for you. I understand how difficult it has been for many couples during the pandemic, and I’m glad to hear that I was able to support and accommodate your needs during the postponement process. Your satisfaction and happiness are my top priorities and I’m thrilled to hear that you felt relaxed and at ease throughout the day.
I’m so happy that you were pleased with the final results and that the pictures were able to capture those special moments. Thank you so much for your kind words. Hoping to see you again.
Warm regards,
Ufuk
We planned our wedding in Söğütköy, Turkey and found Ufuk’s photography and website fairly quickly and knew he was the best choice for us. Although we loved his style of photography, it were the heartfelt reviews and opinion of Ufuk that really sold him to us. I knew he would care, and I knew he would listen. And he didn’t disappoint us! His communication was always fantastic, clear and personal before the wedding and we trusted him! Although our wedding was not as spectacular and glamorous as lots of the ones on his website, he captured our intimate wedding perfectly and though we are pretty camera shy and don’t really like to pose, caught the moments just right! We love our photos but more importantly we loved having Ufuk with us for the day. We were lucky enough to be in the same hotel for a night a year before in Cyprus when we met up the first time, and even luckier to spend an evening with him in Istanbul a few months after the wedding. He is a true gentleman, a fabulous photographer and should definitely be everyone’s first choice if you want to feel comfortable and cared about on your special day.
Hey Sonya! Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing me as your wedding photographer. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of your special day in Söğütköy and capture those intimate moments that you will cherish for a lifetime. I’m thrilled to hear that you felt comfortable and cared about throughout the whole process, from our first communication to the wedding day itself. Your trust in me meant a lot and I’m so glad that I was able to exceed your expectations.
I also loved getting to know you both better during our time in Cyprus and Istanbul. Thank you again for choosing me as your photographer and for sharing your experience with others. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world!
We are from Singapore and knew Turkey is awesome with wedding photoshoots taken there. Before we flew, we had a call with Ufuk and he was patient to listen to and understand our needs. He is creative and recommended many sites for the shoot. We enjoyed the shooting experience although it was cold. The only unfortunate thing was the hot-air balloons at Cappadocia did not fly during the 4 days we were there due to the bad weather. Else all were well and the package was worth the money and memorable.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing me as your photographer for your wedding photoshoot in Turkey. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that the package was worth the investment. It was such a pleasure to work with both of you and to help bring your vision to life. I appreciate your trust in me and for allowing me to be a part of such a special moment in your lives. Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing me as your photographer. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
Best regards
It is difficult to put into words just how special an artist Ufuk is. From the moment we seen his work online we knew Ufuk had to be our wedding photographer as he has such a gift for capturing natural moments so beautifully.
From start to finish, Ufuk was amazing. He is professional, warm and kind and a true joy to spend our most important day with. His photographs captured the whole day perfectly, from the boat ride to the venue right up to the late night swimming in the sea, not a single moment was missed. The end results were remarkable and everyone who sees our wedding pictures comments on how unique and magical they are.
Thank you always for your hard work and for helping us capture and remember the best day of our lives, forever. You are one in a million.
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for your kind words! You two are simply amazing people and it was such an honor to be a part of your special day. Knowing that my work was able to capture all those beautiful and natural moments means the world to me.
I’m so happy to hear that I was able to be a positive presence throughout the day. Your wedding was such a memorable and magical experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback with me. I hope that you will cherish these beautiful photographs for many years to come…
Warmest regards.
Ufuk is an amazing photographer and artist. The pictures he creates are art pieces. He took our honeymoon pictures in Cappadoccia. Our day with him was a nice tour of secret gems in Cappadoccia, creation of amazing pictures, and having lots of fun. I highly recommend the memorable experience with Ufuk to anyone who wants to capture their memories while enjoying the nature and historic sites.
Dear Maryam,
Thank you so much for your kind words about your honeymoon photo session with me in Cappadocia. I’m happy that you enjoyed the tour of some of the secret gems of the area.
It was a pleasure to work with you both and to have the opportunity to capture such special memories for you. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special honeymoon memories.
Best regards,
Our wedding photo session was in Cappadocia, Turkey in June 2022. I never thought it will be an amazing experience and an easily implemented photo session. Ufuk is a great photographer with so many great photography skills. He was really flexible and professional at the same time. We had a great time communicating to him discussing our cultures and he was so nice to the point where he became our reliable contact whenever planning to visit Turkey.
He was very responsive and always in contact with us until the photos were finally delivered to us..
Thank you so much for witnessing the best part of our life, recording it and making the best memories out of it. You are the best!
Dear Dlpak & Hardawan ,
Thank you so much for your kind words about your wedding photo session in Cappadocia. I’m thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience and that I was able to help you create lasting memories. It was a pleasure working with you both and getting to know you better throughout the process. I’m so glad to hear that you were happy with my work and that I was able to deliver photos that you will cherish forever. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything in the future.
Thank you again for choosing me to be a part of such a special day in your lives.
Ufuk took our family photos in Cappadocia in Turkey.
He is very talented and professional. The communication went excellent throughout and he even helped me with our trip planning in Turkey and had great recommendations.
His English is great , he is reliable, organized , easy going and great with kids.
It was pleasure to meet with him. Look forward to have more photos taken by him in future.
Thanks very much Ufuk for creating beautiful moments in our life.
Thank you so much Shabnam! Just my pleasure and will be.
Imaginary photos, unforgettable experience! Thank you for the memories you gifted us!
My husband and I booked a 2 hour travel photography shoot with Ufuk during our visit to Istanbul in May 2022. Despite not being the most camera friendly people, Ufuk made this an extremely fun and easy going experience that we will cherish forever! He shared lots of great information about the sites we visited, but more importantly knew all the great angles and suggested great poses for us. I couldn’t differentiate candid vs posed shots in the final pics because we were having so much during the process. We’re walking away with great memories, beautiful pics and a new friend.
We had our Pre-wedding shot in Cappadocia by Ufuk. It was a great experience that we will never forget! Ufuk is very professional and know exactly where and when to get the perfect pictures. He is also very flexible to make sure to archieve that.
He made us very much at ease which resulted in great photo’s. Even before and after the shoot he was very easy to contact and helped us a lot with our further travels throughout Turkey.
In the end, we are very statisfied with the experience and the resulting photo’s.
Thank you so much Ufuk!
Arjan & Lily
I met Ufuk years ago when he started his career and made him promise me that if I ever got married, he was going to come and photographed my wedding. And he did! He captured the best parts of our wedding, our most intimate moments. Ufuk is not only a great photographer but he is also a storyteller. The memories of our wedding from the moment we started getting ready until the moment we were leaving the venue could not be better portrayed. We did not want to have generic wedding photos and he understood our concept and esthetic so well, when we saw his photos we were over the moon. He managed to capture the most intimate moments of our day. We did not even realize he was in the room most of the time. His energy level is unmatchable! He did not stop for a minute! My husband and I are grateful to work with Ufuk. Cok tesekkurler!
Ufuk shot our family photos and I see so many photos and images due to my profession. When I took the images taken by Ufuk I get a feeling like they are taken from a movie scene. So cinematic and powerful. I feel that they’ll be the most memorable things left from those years. Much appreciated and thanks for recoding that day.
Ufuk is truly an outstanding photographer and wonderful person with an ability to capture the true nature of people and events. I’d recommend him to anyone!
Thank you for shooting our wedding and our daughter’s christening. Our experience working with you was fantastic and in your pictures you captured the magic of the two days!!!
I requested for Ufuk’s services for my wife’s 50 birthday celebration in Istanbul, Turkey. He was so accommodating, friendly, patient, creative, and the list goes on and on. He turned out to be more than what I had expected as a photographer and as a person. He was so good with his photography and mannerism that I have already decided to book him for my daughter’s wedding when she is ready, who is only 18 now. There are not enough words to completely describe him and his work. He does not give up until he is satisfied with a shot, makes you very comfortable during the shoots, and also makes it fun which is most important when you are with a photographer 8 hours. Initially I was going to use his services for just a day, but later changed it to 2 and 1/2 days just because we LOVED our experience with him.
He had just flown in from US and still managed to excel. He is the BEST photographer I have ever known. He continued to provide support weeks after the service and never hesitates.
YOU WILL TOTALLY LOVE HIS WORK!
Great artistic photographer how is ably to adapt him self everywhere to make the best pictures from everybody, everywhere around the world.
Yes we like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. I am still looking at our family photos (stuck in a building with bad internet reception) but so far they made me cry again 🥲 in a good way.
Happy tears of course!
Karen and I had a wonderful day with you! You are the perfect instructor, your info was perfect and we so enjoyed our time with you. Now that we’re in Muscat we have been using your methods and love the results.
We would love to send you some pics and get your critiques.
Until later,
Steve & Karen Sodikoff
Dear Ufuk! It was such a pleasure to have you as the photographer at our wedding. Being foreigners getting married in Izmir after a year of challenges and postponements, it was so refreshing and comforting sharing this day with you. You managed to capture our most precious moments in a comfortable and unstressful way, which was really important, especially for people like us who don’t normally like to be photographed 🙂 ! We will cherish our wedding photos forever! Thank you for making us and our guests feel so much at ease and enjoy every moment!
Düğüne son 1 ay kala fotoğraf konusunda çok gergindik. Ne ben ne de Goker fotoğraf çekilmeyi asla sevmeyiz ve hiç de fotojenik insanlar değiliz:) o yüzden bizi kasmadan o günü sonrasında bize aynı duygularla yaşatacak birine ihtiyacımız vardı. Araştırma yapınca karşınıza bir sürü kişi geliyor evet ama detaylı inceleyince ve detayları konuşmak için bir araya gelince Ufuk’un o enerjisi ve verdiği güvenle “tamam işte bu” diyorsunuz…
Dugun günü fotoğraflarımız çekiliyor mu anlamadık bile, o kadar doğal ve güzel şeyler çıktı ki. Ayrıca dış çekimde de kendisini Karaburun yollarında çokça yorduk 🙂 asla pes etmedi ve ne istesek kendisi de bizle aynı keyfi alıyormuşcasina yanımızdaydi.
Ufuk, her şey için çok teşekkürler. Unutulmaz günün mimari olduğun için çok mutluyuz.
After getting married at sunrise, my husband and I decided to take photos every year on our anniversary at sunrise. We were visiting Cappadocia for a few days right before our one year wedding anniversary, so we decided to find a local photographer who can kick off our anniversary tradition. I am particularly selective in photographers, so I did extensive research on photographers in the area. I love large landscape shots and was looking for a photographer who could capture the beauty of Cappadocia’s landscape and lighting of the balloons at sunrise. I also have a high standard for artistry and appreciate details with lighting, placement and capturing natural emotions on film. When I saw Ufuk’s photos, it was clear he is an expert photographer and his level of artistry is equivalent to fine art. I knew he would be perfect for our anniversary photos.
Even though we live in the United States, it was so easy to set up a call, discuss what we were looking for and coordinate details for our shoot. He gave us plenty of suggestions, and we decided on the balloons at sunrise, Goreme and the surrounding valley and Lake Tuz.
When we arrived in Turkey, he always made himself available for recommendations and practical information and was so helpful it was as if we already had a friend in town. When we approached our photo shoot day, we were disappointed we not expecting good weather, but Ufuk was always positive and gave us many options so we could plan around weather. He also was able to make himself available on a second day in case the balloons did not fly on our photo shoot day.
We were able to take photos at all the places we planned. We had amazing weather and caught a spectacular sunset at Lake Tuz. Balloons at sunrise were canceled on our photo shoot day, but we were able to shoot on the following morning. It was pretty cloudy even on our balloon day, but we have no doubt our photos will turn out amazing.
Aside from being an expert photographer, Ufuk is just a great person. He is so humble, considerate and kind. We loved spending the day with him, and every person we crossed paths with, even strangers, enjoyed interacting with him. This made our day out with him even more enjoyable, and it felt like we were hanging out with a friend who happens to capture your day with fine art photography. We had such a great day and experience with him, and we will remember Cappadocia not just from beautiful photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives but also from the friendship with Ufuk we started on that day.
Ufuk and Gokhan were amazing throughout the whole process. Me and my wife could not of been happier with the pictures and video.
You could tell Ufuk is very passionate about photography and he has an eye for amazing shots. We have done other photoshoots before and this was definitely on a different level. His expertise makes you feel very comfortable from the beginning and makes the photoshoot feel very natural.
We had sent him some sample pictures of the style and effects we were looking for and he definitely went out of his way to accomplish that for us and even made it better. Ufuk is gifted photographer and one of the best we ever worked with. Thank yall so much for such a great time with our pre-wedding photos.
Thank you so much! I own you because you were so good on my pushes for more pictures:) I hope see you soon again.
Ufuk did a pre-wedding photoshoot in Istanbul for my wife and I. We left everything to him in terms of locations and ideas. He picked stunning locations and coordinated the shoot exceptionally well. Despite rain on a very cold day we powered through the shoot. Ufuk and team added the warmth that resulted in some very beautiful photos.
He also helped us coordinate a make-up artist and van for the day to take us around from location to location and gave us a lot of flexibility.
All in all we had a very satisfying and wonderful experience. The photos speak for themselves and we are very happy with the end result.
Taking your photos was a wonderful experience.for me. You were so patient and hard working as models. Thank you for your kind words and cooperation!
When we sat down to choose a photographer for our special day, we reviewed portfolios by dozens of photographers. But when we encountered Ufuk’s work, we simply fell in love with his exceptional art – by how much passion, emotions, color, life and energy his photographs exude. We could not wait to call him that same evening and ask if he could be our wedding photographer.
From the minute we spoke to Ufuk on the phone, we realized how kind, caring and exceptionally generous he was. We were amazed by how attentive he was to every detail in the conversation, by how honest and transparent he was about cost and technical needs, and by how genuinely excited he was by our special day.
In the run-up to our wedding, Ufuk always felt like he was right next to us, even though we were not even in the same country. He was always available to discuss anything, anytime. He helped with wedding preparation tips, ideas, and advice. We did not worry for a second that anything might go wrong.
Ufuk and his wonderful team arrived to Lebanon two full days ahead of our wedding to familiarize themselves with the context and venue, and we instantly felt how prepared and on top of things they were.
On the day of the wedding, Ufuk and his team were the first to show up and spread their wonderful good vibes. Even our guests were struck by how kind and passionate they were. We loved Ufuk and his team so much that we felt they were not only our wedding photographers but also friends and part of our wedding festivities. Yet, Ufuk and his team remained professional at all times and attentive to capture each and every detail of our wedding. Their pictures brilliantly captured each individual’s emotions, expressions, reactions, and state of mind – the photos are unbelievably true to who our friends are and what they represent to us.
Our wedding was not only a deeply special and personal moment for us, but also an event of public impact as it was one of Lebanon’s first ever civil marriages. The wedding was covered by both the local and international press and, thanks to Ufuk and his team, we could not have had better photos to be proud of and share.
We are truly grateful to Ufuk and his team for going above and beyond whatever may have been expected of them before, during, and after our wedding. Thanks to them, we not only have the best photos that have ever been taken of us as couple, but also the best photos of us with our friends and family. They will continue to make us laugh, cry and relive our wedding forever.
Photos are instrumental in keeping our happiest memories alive forever and they let us relive those happy moments again and again. With that in the forefront of our minds, we spent a lot of time doing our research to find the best photographer for our wedding. When we came across Ufuk’s work, we knew instantly that he had something very special to offer. Thankfully, he was available on our wedding date, and we booked him right then. We clearly made the right decision.
In the few months leading up to our wedding, Ufuk spent the time to understand our expectations and also to share helpful tips about overall wedding prep. We knew right then that we made the right choice and he put our minds at ease. We stayed in touch via email and over the phone to get to know each other, and it felt like we were friends before even meeting.
On the morning of our wedding day, we met Ufuk and his team at the venue in Istanbul, and he was ready to start shooting, given all of the prep done in advance in getting to know us. Ufuk and his team were very warm and welcoming, and they captured some of the best moments of the day with their cameras right from the beginning.
Ufuk’s work goes beyond just photo-taking. He captures the essence of the moment, those singular expressions we didn’t even know existed. Now those moments have been captured, and are so beautifully ours forever to remember. Thank you Ufuk for making it happen. We would not hesitate for a moment to work with you again on another special day for our family and friends!
Where do I even begin?
When I started organizing my wedding back in 2018, Ufuk’s website was one of the first things I landed on and booked. I always told my husband there are four important things in a perfect wedding; the food & alcohol, the music, the people and most importantly the photographer to capture it all. And INDEED HE DID. Receiving the pictures after our wedding made us relive it all again. The moments captured, the angles taken and simply the style of shooting took us back in time, made us cry and laugh at the same time, as well as gave us a picture or actually a thousand ones that portray the love and happiness that was all around us this day. We cannot begin to thank you for the service that you have provided us and as we have told you a million times before, you are the best decision we have made for our wedding.
Now going into a bit more details, Ufuk is a genuine and humble person and the team around him are also a reflection of that. We loved the fact that he offered us more than we asked, and stayed with us until DAWN. In addition, having held our wedding in Turkey and we do not speak any turkish, Ufuk was extremely helpful in helping us with suppliers that do not really speak our language. At the end, we didn’t feel that Ufuk was someone that we hired but someone who has become a true friend.
We cannot but wish you the best in your professional journey because you have provided us with the best.
Lots of love,
Rateb & Tala

How do I start…
In the Summer of 2019, when I decided to go to Turkey and Cappadoccia with my sixteen year old daughter Isabella, in a trip of a lifetime, my first thought was: “Where I am going to find a photographer that can capture the love that I feel for her and the magical moments that I knew we were going to be part of in this trip?
Late at night, days before my trip I search for “best photographers in Turkey” several photographers came out and then I found Ufuk photographs!
The beauty, originality, colors, terrains and faces captured by his cámara took me there, without even left my bed at my house in Miami!
I knew he was the one that I wanted to take the pictures of my beautiful daughter and me, a fifty two year old mom who wanted to be immortalized before I get more wrinkles 😉 so my daughter can say one day “My mom was beautiful”
And he did just that and more…!!!!
He made that experience since sunrise until sunset an unforgettable one. We enjoyed every moment. He was so sweet, gentle and so professional and also risky at times, to take the best photo shoot! We not only found a great photographer!!! we found a good friend and a person that definitely will be a very special part of this experience. My daughter even want her wedding pictures one day to be taken by Ufuk!!
I highly recommended Ufuk to anyone who need to take a special moment and unforgettable one.
Thank you Ufuk from the bottom of our hearts ?
Isabella and Mylene Myers
Ufuk is simply AMAZING! He really is more than a photographer. From the beginning through to the end he was always very friendly and positive. He knew what he was doing and offered endless support,advice and guidance. On the wedding day itself we felt in safe hands and it was like having a friend there with you ! There experience and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your lives ! As we already expected , we received wonderful photos and couldn’t be more happier with the results. He is seriously talented and genuinely loves what he does ! If you’re thinking about booking him for your wedding , DO IT!!! You won’t be disappointed ! He has captured memories we will cherish forever ♥️ ?? Thank you so much!! ??
Merve & Alper
When I first saw Ufuk’s profile on Instagram I knew i wanted him as my photographer for my wedding. Not only does he have an eye for photography, his personality and warmth made us feel very comfortable. He is innovative, real and prompt which is why we chose to work with him. Thank you for a great experience Ufuk, keep rocking it!
Proposal Photoshoot – Cappadocia
October 7, 2019
Overall, we were extremely happy working with Ufuk and felt fortunate to have him capturing our special moment.
From the very beginning, he was very dedicated and passionate about his job. He helped us to plan for everything (what to do on the day, where to stay, how to travel from the airport, etc.). On the day, he took us around various locations in Cappadocia and went an extra mile to ensure that the photos would be good. Also, he was incredibly friendly and easy going, making sure we have fun and comfortable in front of the camera. Ultimately, the photos we received could not have been better.
Thank you again Ufuk!

Ufuk is an excellent photographer, very professional, communicative and kind. I was looking for a photographer to cover my wedding in Istanbul and as a foreigner, who does not speak Turkish, it was challenging to find someone who would have the same aesthetics, approach to wedding photography and overall have a more international outlook. I came across his profile while searching in the ‘Fearless Photographers’ website and I saw that he is also awarded multiple times for his work. When I saw samples of his work I understood that he is not the typical wedding photographer. His photographs were natural but at the same time artistic instead of the typical, boring and pretentious. Up until the wedding day, our entire communication took place via emails and whats app calls. I was surprised on how easy it was to communicate with him even without meeting once and to coordinate all the details. Although I have never met him, he made me feel secure and I was not stressed at all on the wedding day. Ufuk ended up covering not only the ceremony in Istanbul but a second ceremony in Athens, Greece as well as a couple’s session in the Acropolis and Athens city center. All sessions where very different from one another and Ufuk was able not only to adjust but also to direct. What was surprising is that during the sessions the guests were so impressed by his work ethic that they would come to me or to him directly to ask for his contact details.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the quality of the photographs, work ethic and approach of Ufuk and I would definitely recommend him.
Ufuk is by far one of the best photographers we ever had. We wanted to have a pregnancy photosession in Cappadocia and I was looking for a person, who can both create some artistic photos (and not just a person with a good camera) and also a person which can show us around and be a good companion.
Looking back I can definitely say that Ufuk exceeded our expectations! First of all, we have so many amazing photos, that I can’t even choose which ones to hang on the wall, there are so many amazing ones. Ufuk has a definite taste for good views, interesting angles. What I also liked is that he corrects the poses and adjusted us towards the natural light, so that the amazing shots are not made by accident, but by an experience and professionalism of a photographer. So it’s not up to chance whether you will have great shots, you will DEFINITELY have them, as Ufuk knows his craft in and out and is actively participating in making the magic happen.
Also he know all the hidden gems and great places to take pictures at, with the best views, least crowds. He also explores new places (for example, when we started our day, he said that yesterday he got curious and checked one more unusual location and liked it and wanted to try it with us). So you get really the best views of Cappadocia with Ufuk knowing all the typical great places as well as some others, where no one is coming.
And lastly, it was just a very pleasant day for us, it was very easy to communicate, Ufuk was an interesting person to spend the day with and talk about a lot of topics. So we felt both at ease (which is extremely important!!) and in good and very pleasant company.
I would definitely recommend him as your go-to photographer for your important moments, we have done 10+ different couple photosessions and the result and experience of this one is on top of our list.
Ufuk, wishing you all the best in your creative journey, you are a great professional and a very nice person! And we are happy we got to know you.
Polina and Asan
Magnificent person, great professional, and a marvelous artist. It’s very hard to find somebody, who combines all three, but Ufuk does.
Fully reliable as a professional, not only captures the feelings but also offers you a vivid represantion of the whole story in an unique, creative way, which definetaly hoöds his signature.
Dear Ufuk, you offered us more than a documentation of our wedding. You gave as smthg that will pass to our descedants and always remind us of what happened that beautiful day.
As a family we are Really happy to get to know to you, and as a photographer myself really amazed of your passion for art.
Always grateful to you. What you do and present goes beyond expectations!
The photos were in Goreme, in the land of beautiful horses and hot air balloons. We met in the early morning and were all grins to start the day. Ufuk’s passion and light-hearted manner instantly put us at ease. He handled the lighting, positioning and managed to set up the shots perfectly! My fiancée and I were at first nervous, yet Ufuk gained our trust with his professionalism and well experienced instructions. Even cracking a joke to allow us to RELAX. Thank god for that!
He knows where all the best places are and has an amazing sense of composition, mood and scene. He captured everything on film. Looking at the photos, we I are teleported back in time & place to that wonderful day. It’s as if we relive every exciting moment again! We are truly blessed to be given such a gift!
If you really are serious about your photography, put your trust in Ufuk. Anyone can take photos, but he captures the moments when you’re in each others arms, and when you’re natural. Naturally in love.
You’ll rarely meet a professional as dedicated, skilled and fun! He’s a good friend to us both. And I’m sure he’ll amaze you. I’ll choose him for more photos in future to renew wedding vows. Until next time, teşekkür ederim!
XO, H&L
Ufuk! You are the man. Honestly cannot even express how much gratitude I have. You are the best photographer anyone could ever ask for.
I planned a surprise proposal in Cappadocia and I contacted Ufuk to help. He was always so pleasant and professional. We facetimed to plan and he gave excellent suggestions for places to stay that would capture the picture perfect moment. He was extremely easy to reach and always took time out for us.
For the proposal day, he was there early and ready to go. Everything went perfectly as planned. He captured the moment beautifully and was so helpful throughout the entire process. He even stayed extra to get pictures with the balloons after the proposal.
Afterwards he took us on a tour throughout Cappadocia for all the best photo spots for a photo shoot and we did drone footage as well. He was not only a great photographer but also gave us a great tour.
Ufuk has such a great personality. Immediately from the facetime we felt comfortable. I am nervous in general for photos but Ufuk made it seem so effortless and made us feel such at ease. When he sent the photos he edited and took, they were better than I could have ever imagined. It brought tears to my eyes how beautiful they were.
Ufuk was not just our photographer. He became our friend to the end. I am thankful for your service and am definitely going to hire Ufuk for future shoots. I 1000% recommend Ufuk!
Thank you my friend for everything!
Simply we could not be more pleased with our wedding photos.Ufuk has a great eye on detail. He is a very talented photographer. From early morning till next day early morning he captured our best moments with passion. I still have goosebumps every time I look at our photos even after many months.. Each of them represent an intense emotion. He totally achieved to reflect our character and energy into photos. No need for many words Ufuk you really are a very good photographer and we are so glad to have you together with us in our special day. Thank you for documenting our emotions as memories… Lots of Love .. Cagda & Mudit
We have a great experience with Ufuk and David in Turkey. All of my feelings can be expressed as a “PASS”, Passion, Awesome, Surprise, Splendid.
1. PASSION, Ufuk showed his 100% passion and profession in wedding shooting. We both feel we are so lucky in terms of inviting him to be our photographer.
2. AWESOME, when we showed our pre-wedding pictures to family and friends, all of them are like those photos very much. They all have a great impression on these awesome photos.
3. SUEPEISE. During the shooting trip, sometimes we don’t have the best environment for pictures. Ufuk always surprisingly make imperfect become perfect, and always have plan B also. Therefore we don’t have any bad memory in that trip.
4. SPLENDID. Ufuk is really good at using the splendid view as background in wedding photos. Unlike Korean competitor, his photos express a harmony between nature and human, instead of focusing on people.
Thanks to Turkey and Ufuk, we could have such wonderful photos. We appreciate his work very much!
Ufuk has a great personality and we felt very comfortable with him taking our wedding photos. His style let’s us be natural and for the most part, we can be ourselves while he takes our photos. He knows some secret locations and it was great because some of those photos turned out to be some of the best in the whole album. He also treated us to some Turkish tea while we were on break and even taught me where to go in Istanbul for a great panoramic shot of the city. He is very friendly and kind and you will no doubt have a great time with him!
Ufuk is also very professional as he responded to my emails very quickly. No matter the question, he had an answer so I was confident on who I was dealing with. I had messaged other people too while looking for a photographer and Ufuk was the best out of all of them. We also received our photos a bit earlier than expected and that was a plus.
We did our wedding photos in Cappadocia and went for package 2 and we would highly recommend you to also rent a car. Goreme itself has a lot of nice views but it is a bit limited. You would definitely need a car to go around Cappadocia to get some of the best shots and more variety. Ufuk’s knowledge of the area is fantastic as he’s done this dozens of times so you would feel safe in the hands of a professional.
It was great having you take our wedding photos and thank you so much! All the best!
#和Ufuk一起的土耳其婚纱旅拍！
我觉得能在土耳其遇到Ufuk真的是一件非常幸运地事情！同时，能被他拍摄婚纱照更是一件让人值得回味一辈子的事情~~
我和老公准备在2019年5月结婚，正好在2月的新年有假期，所以就想请个长假去“浪漫的土耳其”拍婚纱照，但是在国内的婚博会、大众点、微博上找了一圈，中国的新年期间，几乎没有摄影团队愿意去土耳其，不是说土耳其天气不好下雪没法拍，就是我们要出“天价”才肯有团队为组团外拍。。。
既我想出去拍婚纱照，国内渠道没有出路，那就换个思路就去国外的渠道搜索一下~出于这种情况，灵机一动的我，打开VPN上外网，开始搜索土耳其当地的婚纱摄影师，结果出现在google页面上排名第一的就是Ufuk的主页，在看了他的各种婚纱作品之后（同时也在mywed上比对了很多摄影师），我果断的选择跟他联系！我真的非常迫切的想让他帮我们拍摄~我觉得他的婚纱照片不仅是简单的婚纱照，而是一副艺术作品，就像他自己说的，他的作品真的可以传给子孙后代呢！
出乎我意料的是，Ufuk很快就回复了我的邮件（他有和中国夫妇合作的经历，也来过成都拍摄婚礼），同时他竟然很潮流的有wechat！所以我们顺利的通过邮件和wechat对接了价格、拍摄日期、行程等等，确定好一切之后，我们就安心的带着婚纱和西服从北京飞到土耳其~在伊斯坦布尔玩儿了几天之后，飞到卡帕多奇和他见面了！
Ufuk真的是个很好的人，满满一天的行程，从早晨 8点追赶热气球到各种峡谷和山地的拍摄，最后还请我们吃了一顿美味的晚餐！Ufuk他很热情并且充满拍摄的灵感，其实我的老公并不是很懂得肢体表达的人，但是在Ufuk的简单指导下，我们并不尴尬的的拍摄出了特别多自然流露的照片，当然我们是那种很喜欢玩儿闹的夫妇，所以Ufuk抓住这个特点为我们拍摄了很多洋溢着欢乐气氛的照片，我和老公在收到照片之后，简直是爱不释手！我们的父母也非常欣赏他的照片，并且分享给了很多朋友~
我觉得如果你也和我有同样的愿望，比如有在土耳其拍婚纱照的梦想，那么找Ufuk就对了~他会为你一生一次的梦想画上一个非常圆满的句号！
谢谢你哦Ufuk！有机会来北京玩儿！我们也带你在北京逛吃逛吃哦~
We got married almost like two years ago, and l just had a chance to look at all of our photos. How talented you are Ufuk! Its now 10.30 pm and l have been looking to our photos since 6.00pm with a big smile on my face. Thanks for the amazing photos again! You didn’t miss even a second, l felt like I was in our wedding again. THANK YOU 🙂
#ourlovejourney with Ufuk!
We first met with Ufuk at the wedding of Birsen and Rainer in Baden Baden, Germany in 2016. He was so close and warm. It was a feeling like we know each other since years. We kept in touch after Baden Baden. We didn’t know at that time that we would marry each other but we knew if we would marry one day Ufuk will be our wedding photographer. When we decided to marry, we contacted him directly and he said yes and made us very happy. That was the best decision ever.
December 2017, when we choosed our wedding destination Turkey we visited Ufuk and his family and had a great time with them. He and his wife were a great support while we planned our wedding in Cesme. We checked some venues and decided to marry at a beach club. We decided to make holiday, wedding and honeymoon in Cesme with our relatives. So about 120 people from Europe came and make holiday with us and that was the most wonderful part of our wedding. As Ufuk write in his notes we got married while we were on holiday with our lovely family and friends.
How would we describe Ufuk?
Ufuk is a wonderful person with a positive energy. He is calm and have a solution for every problem. While he is taking picture, he is giving you a great feeling like you are the most important person on earth. He is so smooth that you can’t see him at your wedding but he is everywhere. Everybody can get in touch with Ufuk and he treat everyone with love and respect. He is seeing things you can’t see. He is catching every emotional moment at your wedding what you can’t see at that time. He is not just a photographer he is a good soul with a big heart. All of our guests got a good vibe from him. We are grateful to had him with us while our wedding day. Thanks a lot. Wish you and your family the best and a healthy long life. We keep in touch. We are looking forward to meet you again as soon as possible.
Ufuk’s experience and passion are remarkable, that’s why we put all our trust in him and he didn’t disappoint us. We couldn’t be happier with the results! We got married in Italy and a week later we had another celebration in Turkey. Ufuk followed both events. During the wedding, he was always ready with his camera and he was very careful to not miss a detail. He captured every single moment and each time we watch the pictures, we live the emotions again and again with the same excitement of the wedding day. His photography is art and his talent in transmitting the feelings through the camera is extraordinary. You can feel and breath the passion of Ufuk in each shoot.
Ufuk is a great photographer and a wonderful person. Friendly, positive, always welcoming and ready to support, he was precious before, during, and after the wedding.
No doubts, we recommend Ufuk to all the couples!
Ufuk, thank you for everything. We are lucky to have found you and have shared with you the most important day(s) of our life!
Ufuk is by far the most outstanding person we could have booked for our wedding. We planned it from across the Atlantic, and he met us in our destination country. He made everything so easy and was so personable and thoughtful. His professionalism and care for us as a couple was unparalleled. He is truly an artist, you can feel the passion in him and his work. His priority was us and our day and he made sure to capture the most magical moments. We were left with a work of art rather than posed, artificial moments. He made us feel comfortable, and we didn’t have to miss any special moments for him to accommodate his vision. If you’re on the fence about booking him, even after seeing what he’s capable of, just go for it and you will be thankful for the rest of your life. We are so thankful for Ufuk, and his team, and how he captured our special day. We will remember this forever, and have the most perfect record of how that day felt.
We really feel like we made a friend in Ufuk. His heart is so deep and invested in his work and the people around him. He is so kind and felt like family in our intimate wedding.
Many blessings to you Ufuk!
Me and My Husband got married at Help Beach, Fethiye in September 2018, both being creative and having a lot of friends who are photographers we had very high expectations. Having spoke to Ufuk and viewing his work we definitely knew that we wanted him as our photographer for our wedding. He was efficiant throughout the whole process. On our wedding day Ufuk done an pre wedding photoshoot with us in the morning and made me us feel very comfortable from the start, he was happy to go with an ideas that we had as well initiating ideas himself. During our actual wedding Ufuk was constantly taking photos capturing all the different things that was going on, we now have our wedding photos back and our incredibly happy with the images, they are definitely helping us relive our wedding day! Thanks you so much Ufuk!
Hi Ufuk! Sorry for the delay in writing this testimonial!
Dear readers, I engaged Ufuk has my pre-wedding photographer sometime in Mar / April 2018 following a recommendation from a friend whom engaged his services back in 2015. I must say that this is one of the best decisions of my life.
I took my wedding shots in Cappadocia, the most magical place on Earth. I have been in contact with Ufuk for several weeks prior to the wedding shoot. He is very professional, responsive and patient in answering all our questions, since it will be the first time I’m going to Turkey (and for a very important photoshoot as well).
I finally went to Cappadocia and met Ufuk. From the moment I met, I knew that this guy knows his job – and he knows it well. He knows all the best spots around Cappadocia for the perfect photo, and he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that we get the best photos, as this is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
We were supposed to shoot on Tuesday morning, unfortunately it rained and we couldn’t get the chance to shoot with the hot air balloons. Nevertheless Ufuk devised an alternate plan and got us a night shoot instead. The photos turned out amazing. Ufuk also extended his stay to Wednesday so that we could get a chance to take photos with the hot air balloons. I’m forever grateful that he is willing to do that for us – those photos have been immortalised and have received many exceptional feedback from friends, families and even strangers – praising Ufuk’s amazing photography skills.
I’m also pleased to know that some of the photos he took for us have won amazing photography awards!
Aside to that, Ufuk is a really pleasant guy, very friendly, professional and just damn cool. I miss Cappadocia a lot, and would like to go back there soon. Hope to see you again some day Ufuk!!
Ufuk is the best! He was one of the best decision we made with regards to our wedding. He is professional, efficient and very friendly. He is creative and talented and you can trust his vision. The photos are awesome and he was everywhere on that day to capture every moment. It was a pleasure to meet and work with him and his team. They really know what you really want for wedding. I cannot imagine a wedding without him and definitelly recommend him to everyone.
Thank you so much ?

Ufuk was the best photographer we could have hoped for. After looking through many lacklustre wedding photographer portfolios, his portfolio was the clear winner, and our photos were every bit as beautiful as the ones that first made us fall in love with his work.
What really attracted us to them was how they didn’t look staged or contrived. Since we are not models, this was important to us. We really wanted beautiful photos of us being happy and having an experience, not trying to play a photographic role.
As for our actual wedding:
He communicated well with us, and sent us a nice list of wedding advice before the wedding, which was helpful.
He was on time and cheerful!
The second and third shooters he chose were pleasant and took great photos, too.
We were a bit disorganized and he went with the flow.
He made us look 1000% more beautiful than we are in real life! (He may try to deny this, but really shouldn’t because it’s true and also his ability to do this is 100% why you should hire him.)
My Mom thought he was really nice.
Our only wish we had had a little more time to spend talking to him. It would have been nice to chat more on a more relaxed day.
If you have the opportunity for Ufuk take your wedding photos you will leave from the entire experience more than just photos. In our search we looked at the galleries of over 70 photographers for our wedding and Ufuk was our finalist! His style captures life at its best.
Ufuk made our wedding day one of the most incredible and memorable days of our lives. He travelled to Santorini 3 days in advance to scope out all of the locations for photos and even found the remote and private place for us to say our vows.
He was more than full service as he drove us around, providing great conversation along the way. The best part was that his acrobatic photography positions made us laugh the whole time. Anything to get the best shot!
He is a remarkable person and takes so much pride in his work!
His passion was evident even in the reveal of the final product as he wanted to share the moment with us via Skype. He wanted to experience our joy when we finally got to see the photos.
He was able to capture so much emotion from us, which were then able to share with our friends and family that weren’t able to join.
He will truly change your life for the better. I could never imagine a better person to experience you special day with as he added so much joy and happiness to our wedding!
We love you Ufuk and hope to see you again soon!

Tanıştığımız ilk günden itibaren pozitif enerjisi ve güler yüzüyle bizi rahatlatan, doğal halinizin en güzel anlarını siz farketmeden yakalayan muhteşem bir yetenek! Düğün günü kapıyı açar açmaz kocaman gülüşüyle karşılıyor insanı. Dost kahkahalar eşliğinde her anı en güzel haliyle ölümsüzleştiriyor. Düğüne katılan herkesle ilgilenip sanki düğün sahibiymişcesine bir samimiyet kurduğunuz, en özel günümüzde bizimle birlikte heyecanımızı paylaştığınız ve muhteşem fotoğraflarınız için çook teşekkür ederiz.
Ufuk…How to just express our gratitude to this great man.
He gave us not only the most beautiful photos you can ever imagine but a great experience overall.
He is a warm person who is so easy to communicate with from the beginning. He rented a car for our photo shoot and after all he showed us the most beautiful sceneries of Cappadocia.
He is just not typical photographer. He let you be yourself and he will catch the moments. He has great ideas that he shares unobtrusively.
Thank you for magical moments and photos!
Jelena & Goncalo
Ufuk you are an amazing photographer! Your positive energy, attitude and level of professional is unseen!!
We knew our precious moments were safe with you from the start.
The wedding day is only one day but you made us relive all the emotions again with our photographers. We both actually cried and laughed looking when we first saw them. Thank you so much! You will forever be in our fairytale story!
Wishing you the best and see you soon!

20.02 2018; Proposal and Pre-wedding shoot ; Cappadocia, Turkey.
Ufuk, the photographer
Ufuk is very dedicated and passionate about his job. You can easily tell by the effort that he puts in. In our case, he flew on day earlier to Cappadocia to scout for the places for the proposeal and also photo shooting. Not also mention, that he amount of effort he had prepared earlier (secretly planning the proposal with my then bf and now fiance), booking the hotels, rented the car and keeping in touch with us before the shooting day. Our day started earlier and Ufuk drove us around to the best scene for photo shoot. By noon time, we were tired our selves but Ufuk still going on and even set up the drone for our last location. No doubt on the level of dedication and professionalism that Ufuk has portrayed. Ultimately, the videos and photos that he had presented was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t be more happy with the results.
Ufuk, the person.
It was easy to work with Ufuk. There’s not much requirements or strict instructions but he was able to capture the moment and delivered high quality photos and videos.
It was a pleasure working with him. Even before we meeting him in person, we already felt comfortable chatting with him over skype. He has a great personality. He is understanding, caring and patience.
We will definitely work with Ufuk in the future. We felt comfortable with him and very satisfied with his work.
To Ufuk,
Looking forward to our next project 🙂 Thank you very much for everything.
With love,
Angeline & Rahaman

Ufuk was one of the best decisions we made with regards to our wedding. His photographs were wonderful and really captured the feel of the entire weekend.
He was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Professional, efficient, friendly and, most importantly, took the most fabulous photographs of our wedding. He stayed up taking pictures with us and our friends until 5am, we highly recommend him to everyone. Thank you Ufuk. We love your work!
I could write an essay here, but i will keep this short and sweet. A bad photographer for my wife and i is that awkward stranger that sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the guests, demands cheesey stiff poses “say cheeeese!”…ufuk is none of this. From the moment we spoke on skype whilst planning, to arriving at the wedding with his bow tie, he was amazing. He was acommodating, natural, and just awesome at his job. The photos are incredible…we can look back after many years and still remember the best day of our lives, proudly. Thanks Ufuk!
Every couple want to have their important day pictured as good as possible and Ufuk is the amazing artist to do it. Him and his team are extremely professional with the kindest of personalities. In that day everyone is already stressed out and a personality like Ufuk’s just smoothes out the whole day. Then it’s just left to the couple to be themselves and enjoy the day as Ufuk and his team finds the best ways to picture you.
We were amazed how the pictures came out and extremely grateful that we got to have him for our wedding day. Every couple should also consider getting the wedding albums, it’s extremely well made and worth every penny.
If we were to re-live that day, we would again hire him. Thank you Ufuk!
It is so hard to find a wedding photographer! They are the person who you will rely on to immortalize such an important day. But let me tell you with the highest confidence that Ufuk is the person to trust.
We loved having him as our photographer. He is professional, reliable and tremendously detail oriented. We are absolutely over the moon with the brilliant photos. We really couldn’t be happier! and everyone cannot stop raving about how wonderful our pictures came out.
He is an amazing photographer and most importantly a great person to be around. All the wedding stress we had, simply disappeared when Ufuk arrived. I recommend him to everyone as he really showed high professionalism and extremely positive attitude throughout our special day. Thank you Ufuk!!!!
Being a wedding photographer myself I can easily assure you that Ufuk is a true professional. Regardless of the event, he brings his complete kit making him ready all types of shots. Strobe shots are his speciality and he is making interesting portrays even in 12:00 am disgusting daylight. He is very motivated all the time and not much time concerned. I do really appreciate his struggle to take the best picture.
Wishing him the best of luck…
Bonus: He is tall which is a good thing for party shots.
It was a great day shooting with Ufuk in Palermo. He is so talented, creative and professional and is able to help you relax and feel comfortable to trust in his vision. When my friends saw the pictures they were so impressed, I cannot recommend him highly enough. On top of it all he is just a really nice easy going guy and it was a pleasure to meet him!
Hi Ufuk,
Evrim and I would like to thank you and Fatih 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!
Ufuk and his team really understood they understand what we had imagined, absolutely beautiful. We have awesome photos. And he has an amazing talent for capturing moments. He and their team can understand that what you really want for wedding. Thank you for everything.
We have amazing memoris thanks to you.
It was such a lovely photoshoot session with Ufuk. We met at sunrise in Cappadocia, Turkey. We quickly got acquianted as none of us really knew where to go and driving on ice and snow is certainly challenging in Turkey. The photoshoot turned into a mini adventure with Ufuk bright, kind and creative personality. Ufuk was able to capature the moments beautifully and went out of his comfort zone for this shoot, especially in the freezing cold! We were able to correspond even on different continents and time zones and meet on the day of.
The photos captured are beautiful work, we are both very satisfied.
Keep up the good job and thank you for this special shooting.
Emily and Kxi, Canada
Ufuk is an excellent photographer, we are so glad that we have found Ufuk to take our pre-wedding photos in Turkey during our travel. His photos are great in style and we have a lovely day with him for the photo shooting.
Excellent communications and awesome photos, I will definitely recommend Ufuk to everyone!!
Ufuk has such an amazing talent for capturing ‘moments’ which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was – it’s the natural fun and excitement that is so important to be documented. Ufuk’s ability not to miss a moment is incredible, and his energy and passion comes across in the photos. He is able to blend in so well that your guests and literally will not realise they’re being photographed. We could not recommend Ufuk more
My husband and I are very picky when it comes to film and photography. Take it from an artist and a filmmaker: Ufuk is a pro and you can trust his skills. We are so happy that he provided what he promised. He managed to capture the essence of our small but fantastic spring wedding in Cyprus. We are ever so grateful to him and we do recommend his service.
Me and Korel could not be happier with our wedding photos and video! You and your team really did capture such amazing memories and we will look back on these moments in years to come. Everyone who has watched our video cannot believe how professional it is… like something from a movie! It really is everything I had dreamed of and more. Not only do we have all the photos to look back on but the photo albums you have put together was the icing on the cake. Something that I would never have thought of doing myself but they really are amazing. Thank you so much to you and your team Ufuk!!! We would happily recommend you to anyone.
Christina & Korel
From the moment we saw Ufuk’s portfolio, we wanted him to take our wedding photos. Although he was not immediately available, he confirmed soon after that he could work with us and offered to have a skype meeting to discuss the wedding details and our requirements. Shortly before the wedding, he also sent some useful tips and details that would help him deliver great photos on the day. Ufuk is very professional and has great personality which reflected throughout the wedding day. He made us comfortable during the shooting which made the whole process easy and fun for us. As expected, we were amazed with the photos when we received them. We would certainly recommend Ufuk to any couple around the world as you would not be disappointed. Thank you very much Ufuk!
Ayse & Ray
We were searching for the ultimat photographer for our wedding ceremony. We were looking for the one photographer that could make our memories deathless, but in the most natural way. We wanted a photographer that could capture:
1) natural moments in an artistic way, but without editing the photographs too much
2) fantastic smiles and laughs
3) funny dance moves
4) the joy in our, and our friends and families eyes
5) the touchy feelings in our body language
6) us posing without making us uncomfortable in the situation
7) our story and culture, that is pretty mixed
Ufuk Sarisen did ALL of this and BEYOND what we would imagine! He is a warm, humble and trustworthy human being, and a fantastic photographer!
We are unbelievably thankful!
Thank you for coming, even though it was a traumatic coup attempt in Turkey, that made your trip to Cyprus chaotic and harsh! We will NEVER forget it!
We see a friend in you now, and we want you to know that you are welcome to Norway any time!
Warm greetings from
Gül and Said
Well, I could easily start and finish by explaining how great Ufuk, as a photography artist, is, but I do not think it would be fair to him as it would not be sufficient to frame the full picture of Ufuk; he is way beyond that.
My wife and I had several discussions with many prominent wedding photographers in Turkey; photographer was the most critical aspect of our wedding for my lovely wife. We ended up with Ufuk after long conversations and we do not have any regrets at all; he is a true professional, a great artist and he certainly rocks! Humbly, he gained our respect at the very first second of our conversation across Atlantic with his professional approach, humble characters and open hearth. Then when we were in Turkey for wedding preparations and he wanted to meet with us to know us better, check! I guess we had a 2 hours long coffee session in Istanbul, at that point he evolves from a professional photographer to a friend who is attending your wedding to take your photos; you start feeling much comfortable, and that helps during the photo shoots.
On that day, he and his friend flew into my wife’s hometown and rest was smooth and fun. He does not force you to pose in conventional style, he just guides you and than captures those magical moments at the right time and the right place. He is not there, you do not see him and he does not bother you during the wedding, he is a ghost photographer, and you just receive a beautiful set of photographs that will carry most fantastic instances of your day to your future. You will love him.

My husband and I held our wedding ceremony in Safranbolu, Turkey. We were very pleased to have chosen Ufuk Sarisen and his team for producing a short film of our wedding. Our wedding photos and cinematic wedding video were stunning. All the photographers did a wonderful job. They were very friendly, professional, creative and fun to work with. We received continuous compliments from our family members and friends about the photos and video. We truly relive those special moments every time we watch the film. We highly recommend Ufuk Sarisen and his great team to future couples.
thank you dear Gozde and Zafer, It was honour for us to work with both of you. I hope see you again. In behalf of me and the team we wish you a cheerful and happy life.
Since 2012, my husband and I have engaged photographers on our vacations to commemorate our trips. When we decided to go to Istanbul in September 2014, we knew it was a city that needed to be captured professionally. Ufuk was a pleasure to work with and the pictures turned out amazing! He captured some great candid moments between my husband and I that still makes me smile every time I look at the pictures. When our travels take us back to Turkey, we will definitely do another photo session with Ufuk. Thanks for the great pictures Ufuk!
When you come again, It will be amazing to meet you again. Thanks for the kind words dear Thao&Chad. You are really great and perfect couple.
Videos look great! Nice job 🙂
thanks James:)
and forgot to mention that thanks to Ufuk, our pictures ended up in Cosmopolitan Bride magazine, which is an amazing memory to show our kids in the future 🙂
Ufuk gave us exactly what we envisioned our wedding pictures would look like. We met him first time on the day of the wedding, and immediately warmed up to him. He is kind, friendly, and he really cares about what the couple wants. He is extremely professional, and has fun while taking pictures, which also reflected onto us. We also did a separate day of shooting by the sea, much more relaxed and without pressure and got to know him a little more. That was a lot of fun! He is flexible, interested in trying different styles to fit your desires. Most importantly, he managed to capture our love and happiness in the pictures, with our natural smiles and without the stress of the wedding. Our wedding album, and video look absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. Every time we look at our pictures, or watch our video, we live those amazing moments again, so we cannot thank Ufuk and his team enough for immortalizing our most special day. Come visit us sometime in Madrid, and thanks again for everything.. Kisses, Ozge and Karsten
Ufuk is the name if you want to make your wedding day even more memorable than you could ever imagine. Ufuk really knows what he is doing but perhaps more important than that, he visibly enjoys what he does; he is kind, helpful, positive, accommodating and incredibly easy to work with. The very first moment we came together to discuss the specifics, he felt more like a friend loaded with good advice than a stranger with a packaged protocol; this made it very easy for us to skip all the other options we had at the time and stick with Ufuk all the way. The trick to Ufuk’s work is that he genuinely engages with his clients, puts effort into understanding what their expectations are and gets to know them as much as he can till the big day arrives. Seeing Ufuk and his team around us during the preps took the weight of those moments off our shoulders big time. They work with a distinct type of smoothness and professionalism that deserves admiration. Looking back at all those beautiful pictures takes us back to the minutes and hours we never want to forget, and the memories come with a special kind of air that Ufuk beautifully crafted for us. We recommend no other person than Ufuk if you are looking not only for a photographer but also an artist and a brilliant friend whatever the occasion may be.. Cheers and much love Ufuk, keep rocking it!
wouw what a comment! you really made me happy. Working with special people results to special photos and footages. Thanks for everything. I hope see you again
We were looking for a wedding photographer and videographer for our wedding near Munich in Germany. Our dear friend Kem recommended Ufuk and his team as he had made a great experience with his services already.
We also decided to work with Ufuk and it was the best decision we could make. The work is really professional. He took pictures at the wedding ceremony and the party and a separate shooting in the nature just the two of us. The result is really stunning. Professional work with beautiful pictures and amazing video that caught all important moments and saved them forever!
Thank you so much for being there and working with us
Pili & Chris
It was one of the best experience in our photo – video life. Being there with you was an amazing experience for us. Thanks for your hospitality and great moments.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Ufuk. He is a very friendly and accommodating person to work with. His professionalism is unwavering. Not only did he captured our happy moments in the best light, he also gave us an introduction into the culture of Turkey. We are very satisfied with his service and the photos turned out to be exceptionally beautiful! His attention to details, lighting, colors and the surrounding is just amazing. We are incredibly lucky to have met Ufuk and his beautiful wife, and this pre-wedding photoshoot has definitely made our trip to Turkey delightful and extra memorable. Teşekkürler!

When we come to Singapure be sure that we will knock your door 🙂 thanks for the great words about me. Warm regards.
Planing a wedding is a hard thing to do especially if you are planning get married abroad. We are a couple who lives London but my husband and I are always wanted to get married back at home where we grew up.
And as a couple first thing we wanted to make sure that we have a brilliant wedding photographer. it was so important for us because we knew that the photos will be the only memory we’ll have from our wedding. When we looked back we didn’t want to fell sorry about our wedding photos.
So we did a really long searches and lots of emails with lots of different photographers and when we find Ufuk’s web site I was almost sure we were going to go further with him. But I wanted to make sure his albums are as good as his web site so on Christmas holiday we went to Istanbul and arranged meeting with him at his office.
As soon as we went his office we saw how professional he is. He was very friendly and welcoming. Also very professional and formal which I liked the most about him ( because some photographer we met earlier were a bit too relaxed and informal ) anyway he was listening us carefully and trying to help as much as possible. We were a bit confused in some ways and he was really good for finding a good solutions for our situation.
Photo albums were really good quality as well. Albums pages has got good design and good size.
When we left his office we were definitely sure he was the perfect person for our wedding photos and we can trust him for 100%.
Back at London communication with whim was very easy as well. He was always replying our email with in a short time, we were also able to contact him through Skype and WhatsApp. Couple of days before the wedding day we met with him once more to go through everything.
AND ON OUR WEDDING DAY he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
His team and him self kept every thing under control. They started very early morning until late evening but always positive and understanding. We had a Bosporus tour and went to Prince Islands and believe me in the middle of August walking up to hill with all those equipment it’s not an easy job!! ( especially the guy who was doing a videography I still feel sorry for him 🙂 )
We’ve only seen couple of pictures so far because we had to back to London after honeymoon but we are going to Istanbul in December and CAN’T WAIT TO SEE all photos and the video.
We know they are going to be AMAZING.
We DEFINITELY! DEFINITELY! DEFINITELY! RECOMMEND UFUK AND HIS TEAM TO ALL THOSE COUPLES WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A BRILLIANT PHOTOGRAPHER!!!
Thank you very much !
Ps: looking forward to see you in December!
Lots of love
Umran and Haci
waouww what a comment even more then comment I went those days with your words. Thanks a lot dear Umran and Haci. I hope you will be happy with your prints, ı am looking forward to meet you again. And yes you are right he probably lost at least 2 kilograms at the island’s hills:) good for him…
What an amazing Istanbul, Bosphorus experience!
I will forever have great memories of my wedding day of course; however, to have such beautiful photos for my family and future kids to see is something else. And I have UFUK to thank for this outcome.
Simply put, Ufuk and his team are professionals and very personable group of guys. Creative pictures are something you need in wedding occasions – As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words.
I only have to add: Ufuk’s pictures are worth a million words!
Thank you Ufuk…
Hi Dear Nayef, the day was really amazing and you all know having fun from life. Thanks for the kind words.
sukran…
I was looking for a photographer for our wedding that was going to take place in Kalkan.I was so lucky to find Ufuk and after talking to him he was willing to fly to Kalkan and be part of our special day. We had the pleasure to work with him and see his talent at our wedding back in 2013. What an experience and what a day. Ufuk was extremely professional and super duper talented. We loved our pictures and we loved working with him. I can’t recommend him enough 🙂
Thank you so much Ufuk it was a pleasure meeting you and working with you!
Here is a sneak peak and pictures from our big day http://www.minimecity.com/a-sneak-peek-into-the-owners-wedding/#.Vks3-mSrR1M
Thanks again!
Simar
thanks Simar, it was really great day, I can never forget the villa’s terrace with pool and amazing agean sea view. if you come here again just let me know:) best
I could not have imagined my wedding pictures to look any better than they do now. They are absolutely beautiful and Ufuk and his team really understood and captured what we had imagined. Myself and most of our bridal party do not speak Turkish but he was able to walk us through the whole process in English and made everybody feel comfortable.
The pictures are really a dream come true. Thank you so much for these amazing memories!!!
Thanks dear Clarisse & Kerim, you made me happy with this. The details and everything were stunning at your day.
Our wedding took place at D-Hotel Maris in the beginning of September 2015.
We were searching for a person who could capture our most important moments and can take everything possible from the scenery of this location.
Ufuk’s works presented on his web-page showed that we have the same vision of what should be the end-result.
Well, at the end we are really happy about the fact that we took that decision and invited Ufuk.
I am going to be short:
1. Ufuk is extremely professional, we are 100% satisfied with the result.
2. He and his team are very nice and hard working people.
3. We do definitely recommend him for any type of event.
Ufuk, it was great to meet you! Thank you!

Dear Pasha+Ksenia, you are the persons know what they want so my work was easy with you. By the way we got the best result. Thanks and hope to see you again…
Ufuk captured my travels to Istanbul for the very first time. We spent the day visiting the major sights to see around town. Ufuk is not only a great photographer but a really nice man. The memories of my time in Istanbul will always remain vivid in my mind because I have wonderful images to remind me of my time there. I plan to work with Ufuk on another photo collaboration sometime in the future. He’s a great photographer who understands how to capture candid moments and gorgeous natural light.
Dear Nicole I am looking forward the next shooting with you. come again! best
We found Ufuk by an internet search for a “trash-the-dress” photographer.
We,ve been impressed of the pictures shown on this website and fell in love with the chosen locations and scenery.
After some E-Mails and a video call the decission was made. So we’ve met the really nice guy personal in Instanbul for a shooting on Princes’ Islands. He supported every “funny” idea we discussed before and suggested a lot of incredible places and situations for a lot of remarkable memories of our special day. We,ve been on trees, streets, stairs, vehicles, together with children and animals, at the beach and finally in the water! The digital images we received afterwards are great and very professional. It was a wonderful day and a great experience together with Ufuk.
Thank you dear Jana & Lars, It was one of my best shooting memories. what was a day!!! :=)
I am sure we will see you again.
We just wanted to write a comment to express how happy and thankful we are that we chose Ufuk amd his team to do our photography and videography for our destination wedding in Oludeniz. We were recommended Ufuk by a lady who I met on a Facebook group fo our wedding package company. We were a little nervous as we knew we would not meet him until our wedding day. It was the best decision we made for out wedding. Ufuk always kept in communication and reassured us every step of the way.. answering many questions amd talking to us on Skype.
On the wedding day Ufuk and his wonderful team were brilliant. His wife was taking photographs too and I loved her company and calming presence. The whole team were so professional and had everything under control and I had no worries on the day and felt very relaxed.
We have just seen our wedding video and shared with family. It captured every moment and emotion beautifully and brought tears to so many people’s eyes.. Even those that hadn’t been able to make the wedding day. The footage is choreographed beautifully to the music and it has captured not only the whole day into 7 minutes. . But it also reflects ou relationship.. All the laughter. . Smiles.. glances and showing all our sides of being best friends, a bride a mother and a groom And a father . And also our friends and family.
The video and photos are something we are going to truly treasure for the rest of our lives. We are so lucky to have found such a wonderful team to be with us on our wedding day. Ufuk and his team will always hold a special place in our hearts for the service they gave us and I hope one day we can book them for our son’s wedding (no retirement for you guys sorry!)
Thank you again so much Ufuk. You amd yor team are the most talented people I know in your field and I hope we meet again.
Amanda, Dean and Baby Alby
Dear Alby, I will try to be with you in your wedding day if I can still take photos (maybe my robots can do it, who knows:).
Dear Amanda and Dean, thanks ytour kind words, you were really special couple and we will never forget you.
Peace…
We all do a lot to arame a perfect wedding to out mind and taste of course… I just learnt this when I was doing all the arrangement for my wedding. It is hard and stressful and takes you through a lot. But all the arrangements aside there is one and only one single decision / selection that you have to make which is the most important one! That’s choosing your photographer and videographer.
Everything from your wedding will be forgotten! The taste of the food, good or bad will be passed! The colour of your flowers, the design, etc., good or bad will be forgotten. But photos and videos are the only thing that you will have for rest of your life as a single piece of memory from the most important day of your life.
We planned our destination wedding in Turkey with absolutely no knowledge from the local places and services. My wife and I looked to find a photographer for a long time and we checked the sample works of many people in Turkey and even some other close countries.
The minute I saw sample works of Ufuk I loved it and I said to my partner that this is what we want.
I can’t explain how satisfied and happy we are with the choice we made.
In the wedding day we couldn’t be happier when we met him and his team. A happy team with great attitude made us so comfortable and natural. Soon he and his team became us and we were so comfortable.
One thing I very much liked about his was the fact that he didn’t try to keep directing us to do fake postures for the sake of fake photos. With a bit of direction he left us be ourselves and record what we were and how we were feeling in every moment.
We just saw 7000 raw photos and we very much liked them.
We can’t wait to see the final wedding photos and we are counting days as we know they are just great.
Thanks again dear Ufuk for being an important part of our big day!

I completely fell in love with Ufuk’s photography from the moment I first saw it on his site as well as with his personality. It was a great pleasure to e-meet Ufuk and to go through the shoot-planning, as he is super professional and makes everything very easy – provides details, answers immediately and leaves no space for any concerns.
The shoot itself was one of the most romantic things I have ever done in my life and it even felt that the pictures themselves come as a bonus 🙂 it was fun, easy, romantic and Ufuk created the process in a way that we were just having fun, enjoying ourselves and were just living our life in front of his camera. The pictures that we received much earlier than we could even expect were incredible and almost made me to believe that Ufuk is a magician as this photography captured everything and more – all emotions, light, beauty of the morning, Istanbul spirit- the moments that you normally don’t even see in a life routine.
Ufuk is a genius photographer and a very gifted person and I am happy in advance for all the couples who will have him on their weddings as we definitely will see Ufuk again at our future events to celebrate life together and have great memories of it captured by a Genius!
Thanks Victoria, you were both great models and made me comfortable. thanks
Ufuk! We could not be happier with our wedding pictures and video – you did such an amazing job capturing our wedding (and the rest of the day)! The photos and video were both full of so many sweet moments. It’s been really wonderful to be able to re-live that day. You and your team were so much fun to have at the wedding – thanks so much for everything!!
For the international audience- Ufuk is a great artist with a magnificent personality, though we met him first time personally on the wedding day it felt like we have known him forever, thus we were really relaxed and could be ourselves throughout the whole photoshoot =) Thank you Ufuk!!!
