Itinerary

15 min

We will start shooting In Sultanahmet Square Fountain. It is in the middle of Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. So we will use these two landmarks as our main backdrops. The biggest church of Eastern Ortadox and biggest mosque of Ottoman.

10 min

Hürrem Sultan Hamam's walls will be another spot.

10 min

Then we will walk to Topkapi Palace entrance and visit the Imperial Gate and Hagia Sophia walls.

10 min

Column of Constantine will be another important landmark that we will visit. It is a Roman monumental column built for Roman emperor Constantine the Great to commemorate the dedication of Constantinople. Built in 328 and it is the oldest Constantinian monument in Istanbul and stood in the centre of the Forum of Constantine. The first shooting in the cistern will be underground and I will use artifical light. It will be off camera lighting and looks natural. The second one will be open air shooting with natural light.

10 min

Fountain of Ahmed III the symbol of  the Tulip period of the 1700s. We will see history from the 6th till 18th century.

30 min

The Galata Bridge is a bridge that spans the Golden Horn in Istanbul. First, we will take a photo shoot with anglers and sea view on this two-storey bridge. Then we will use the lower floor. Both sides of the lower floor have the best views of the city. From here we will be able to watch the magnificent Süleymaniye Mosque. There will be an open-air photo shoot in the entire Eminönü area.

10 min

We will see the classic boats used in public transportation, one of the symbols of Istanbul. Traditional fish boats will also be our next backdrop.

15 min

Our last spot will be seafront at Eminönü. Now we will use the living city as our backgrounds.  There is a wonderful view of Istanbul right next to the ferry pier. Seagulls flying in the background, ships in motion, Golden Horn, Marmara sea, Karaköy, Galata Tower and Galata Bridge will form our background.

Our experience with Ufuk's services

Ufuk is an incredible person first, and a true professional second. I came to Istanbul with very little knowledge about how to organize my nikah ceremony, and from the very first day I met him, he was extremely supportive. He helped me think through everything calmly, guided me on the right budget, and customized the package based on our cultural values and personal wishes. He genuinely cares about what he does. You can feel his dedication in the way he communicates, plans, and works. My partner and I were extremely happy with the photos and his services.

Fantastic family photo shoot (8 people total)

We had a once-in-a-lifetime family reunion with loved ones traveling from 3 continents, ages 6-88 years, in Istanbul and Ufuk took family photos for us in two locations. He was always responsive, kind, and the experience itself was wonderful. We now have beautiful pictures in Ortakoy and Yildiz Park that we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommend working with him.
