For Adventurous Souls.

Destination Wedding Photographer

Weddings, to me, are all about documenting the craziness, emotion, and fleeting moments that happen along the way. My role is to tell your story through the lens in an artistic and creative manner. I don’t want it to feel like a photo shoot, it should feel more like your hanging out with one of your mates who just happens to be a Professional Photographer. You’ll know I’m there when you need me and the rest of the time ill be invisible

  • I have booked Mert for my upcoming wedding in Cyprus after seeing his work online. He has been professional and responsive from the moment I enquired. I am based in London and he kindly let me know when he was holidaying in the UK, so that my fiancé and I could meet him and have a pre-wedding shoot. He was friendly and we absolutely loved the photos he took of us. We are very happy with the decision of booking him for our wedding and have no doubt the pictures he will capture will be beautiful.
