Mosque Nikah in Turkey by Ufuk Sarisen
If you are looking for a friendly, patient, and well-organized photographer, we can definitely recommend Ufuk. From start to finish, he was always available for questions and open to ideas, making an effort to include our wishes. It was important to him that we felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience.
The organization was smooth, from the nikkah to the final photos. Through him, we got to see a different and very nice side of Istanbul. The photo locations were well chosen, and he was also open to incorporating other spots we had in mind.
We spent around six hours together, which sadly passed by very quick. Payment was simple and stress-free. The final photos turned out very beautiful, and we are happy with the results.
A reliable photographer who makes the whole experience easy, fun and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Thank you soo much again Ufuk!
Dear Melissa and Javid, thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending those six hours with you and showing you some of my favorite corners of Istanbul. I’m so happy to hear that you felt comfortable and that you love the final photos. Seeing the joy of your Nikkah through my lens was a privilege. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
I had my nikkah at the Blue Mosque in October 2025 and went through Ufuk. From start to finish Ufuk was professional, had great communication and did a fantastic job organising. Being from the UK I was a little nervous about arranging an event like this abroad however Ufuk made the process seamless. I definitely recommend his services as me and my wife were very happy.
Thank you, Junaid! It was a pleasure working with you. I always strive to make the international planning process as smooth as possible, and I’m happy to hear that my communication and organization met your expectations. The Blue Mosque provided a stunning backdrop for your Nikkah, and I’m glad you have beautiful memories to look back on. Best wishes to you both!”
Ufuk did an amazing job arranging our Nikah at the Blue Mosque and photographing it. Being from the US, we had no idea where to start on finding a place, and he managed it all for us so all we had to do was just show up. He communicated very well beforehand and I felt confident that he would give us exactly what we wanted. The photographs turned out beautiful and he spent the whole day with us walking through the city and finding unique and beautiful backgrounds. The pictures felt very natural and he captured such special moments! The photos came back very high quality and in a timely fashion. We could not have been happier! I would highly recommend him!
Dear Allison, thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was such a pleasure hosting you both here in Istanbul. I know how overwhelming it can be to plan a Nikah from the US, so I’m thrilled that I could take that weight off your shoulders. I truly enjoyed our walk through the city finding those unique spots together, your natural energy made for such beautiful photos. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!
