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.
Umur Bey had a great experience. took great photos. There are also historic sites and very special restaurants. Choose with confidence.
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. N
Umur did an amazing job. Shooting with him was really enjoyable and the photos turned out beautifully. I’d definitely book him again when I come back to Istanbul. Highly recommend to those who want their memories well captured!

İt was great to explore old streets of İstanbul and we had manyphotos of ourselves capturing calourful and extraordinary moments among the lively neighbourhood with its local shops and cafes. Our host who was very friendly and professional made us feel comfortable.
Thank you very much for your review Esra... Hope to see you again..
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! :)
He’s both photography-oriented and well-known about Istanbul, and we’ve met the beauty we’ve never known before. We took beautiful photos
Umur was amazing - he went above and beyond and his delivery exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended and I won't hesitate to use him again in future contracts. Extremely good communication and effortless to deal with. Thanks so much.
Thank you Pinar for your kind words! Wish you happy year!
