It is really a great feeling to see Japanese tourists again in Cappadocia. Japan is a very strong civilization in terms of cultural and human values. I think I have a sympathy for the Japanese from my childhood. Of course, the influence of the animes I watched or the Japanese historical heroic movies is very high. In addition, the economic development, hard work and discipline after the Second World War really deserve all kinds of respect. When we reached an agreement with Akiko and Sho for pre-wedding photo shoots, I was both very excited and very happy for these reasons. You can find the rest of the article “Japanese Couple Pre-Wedding Shoot in Cappadocia” under the photos.

Eco Package
Actually, we were in contact with Akiko first. We agreed with them for my eco photo package. This package includes approximately 6 hours of photo togetherness. In the final, 150 photos are delivered digitally in high resolution. Drone photo shooting is also included in this package. I also pick up the couple with my vehicle and take them to the points we determined together throughout the shoot. Akiko made a special request for this shoot. Sho’s parents and brother also wanted to come with us. However, there were 6 of us in total and we couldn’t fit in my car. For this reason, I included our VAN driver Mr Mehmet to the team and his nice VAN vehicle. We had a more comfortable shooting experience with the pleasure of a Mercedes Vito.
There are at least eight different outdoor shooting backgrounds in the eco package. We created a route accordingly. First, we met with our couple at the Cappadocia Caves Hotel where they were staying. When I saw my couple, I understood that really great things were going to happen. I told them right away. Sho’s beauty and Akiko’s handsomeness were legendary. Moreover, their modest and gentle attitudes. When we met with the family in Aydınlı Cave Hotel, it was clear that they had the same characters. When you see such good people in front of you, you really put in extra effort to give the best. I think I did my best to make them happy.
Shooting Starts in Göreme
We were first at the balloon takeoff area in Göreme with these wonderful people who came from Tokyo. At sunrise, we took photos with both the couple and the family while the balloons were in the air. We followed the balloons and came to Love Valley and then to Çavuşin. The shots I took with the drone here really excited me. I flew at angles I had never tried before and I think something new and beautiful emerged. After the breakfast break, Sho put on her red dress that she brought from Japan. The contrast between this dress and the darkness of the caves was especially striking.
In fact, the character of each couple more or less determines what kind of photos will be taken. This couple was definitely very romantic and this was their nature. I am very lucky to have spent time with these wonderful people who represent Japanese culture very well. I wish the whole family and the couple a healthy and happy life.
