The best photographer ever.
Unbelievable experience! He made us feel comfortable and welcome. He provided us with so much more then just beautiful memories through the camera lens. He acted as a guide, enhancing our experience with knowledge of the cities history and architecture. I will contact Umur every single time I return, which i plan to do for the rest of my life.

creative and time efficient
It was a great experience working with Umur in my last trip to Istanbul. He is professional and creative. I got excellent shots and he suggested nice spots in Istanbul. We spent around 1.5 hours, he was very efficient and we didn't loose time looking for places, he knows the right spots for the best shots... Highly recommended.

Wonderful journey !
Umur Dilek made it incredibly easy to book a photographer from a city I've never been to. He does not only recommended a location, but assigned me a very talented photographer with samples of his work in the same location. He also put me into contact with my photographer beforehand, so that when I landed in İstanbul, I could communicate with them up until the big moment! Umur was such a pleasure to work with, and I will recommend İstanbulto anyone who considers a surprise proposal abroad! :)
