Anette Sent on 11/06/2024The best wedding photographer
If you’re looking for a talented, professional and all around amazing photographer, you’ve just found her! Having booked Gozde for the full day package, we couldn’t be happier looking back on our wedding day.
Our experience working with Gozde started with a friendly email exchange followed by a zoom meeting to discuss the plans for the wedding day and any important shots we wanted to make sure were captured. After this initial meeting, we felt in safe hands, and we can now say without doubt that Gozde has exceeded all expectations and gone above and beyond to deliver.
She captures moments in such a beautiful way that looking at the photos you can re-live the memory and recognise the feeling - completely invaluable when looking at hundreds of gorgeous photos from the happiest day of your life!
As the bride, I was nervous about the wedding photos. I’ve never been photogenic (rather the opposite!) and I’ve struggled to look relaxed and natural in very “posed” pictures. With Gozde, everything felt so natural and relaxed. She was 100% involved and captured everything and more, but in such a way that the pictures look natural and never stiff and boring. There is real life and emotion in all our wedding photos, and I couldn’t be more grateful. My biggest request was that the “confetti moment” as we exit the town hall would be prioritised. The beautiful photos Gozde captured not only showed the movement, energy and happiness we experienced in those moments, but somehow also captured all the magic and love. Even the portraits and family group photos have managed to capture all the colourful personalities present.
Another special requests we had, as the groom works in film and TV production, was to get portrait photos of all guests posing with a special clapper board. Gozde approached this challenge with both enthusiasm and professionalism, and the results were just outstanding.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Gozde’s work and give our warmest recommendations. You’ll struggle to pick your favourite photos to print, trust us!Gozde Pekdinc Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day and capture those unforgettable moments. I'm so glad to hear that you felt relaxed and natural during the shoot, and that the photos brought your memories to life. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! -

Gozde was our wedding photographer, but she also captured pre-wedding shoot & hen do. She took time to understand our vision for our big day and was able to accommodate all of our requests regarding editing & picture delivery. We have a lot of beautiful photos to keep as a memory of our day. We would recommend Gozde to any couple looking for a wedding photographer. -

Excellent photographer!
Gozde was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with in the lead up to the day. We loved the look of her work, and she did an equally fantastic job capturing our day. She worked really well with our vidoegraphers and caught all the important moments. The pictures are beautiful!Gozde Pekdinc Photography's reply:
Thank you so much! It was wonderful working with you, and I’m thrilled that you love the photos. Capturing those special moments alongside your videographers was a great experience. Wishing you both all the best! -

Here's a more polished version of your review:
"She was accommodating and available on short notice, which I appreciated. However, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the photographs. The images were the only lasting memories of our special day, and sadly, they did not capture the essence or joy of the event. Out of 500 photos, I struggled to find even 10 that were usable. In fact, our guests took better pictures than the photographer. Despite her efforts to assure satisfaction, it's clear that event photography is not her strong suit. If you're unsure of your ability to deliver quality work, it's better not to take on such important assignments."Gozde Pekdinc Photography's reply:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’d like to clarify some important details regarding your wedding photography experience.
You booked my services just eight hours before your wedding, which left us with very limited time to discuss your preferences or review my portfolio and editing style. For such an important day, it’s crucial to choose a photographer whose style aligns with your vision, and this typically requires reviewing their previous work and discussing expectations in detail.
Unfortunately, I did not receive any specific requests or guidance from you regarding the types of photos or moments that were most important to you. Additionally, while I provided detailed information about the photography package and the contract, you indicated that you were too busy to sign it at that time, which further limited our ability to align on the details.
When I presented the preview album, I made adjustments based on your feedback. However, some of the requests, such as fixing hair and other retouching tasks, were beyond the scope of the basic editing package you selected. These services fall under more extensive retouching, which was clearly outlined in the package details I shared with you.
In the end, I delivered nearly 500 photos, which I believe captured the key moments of your special day. I regret that they did not meet your expectations, but I stand by the quality of the work delivered within the agreed parameters.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of your wedding, and I appreciate your understanding.
Best regards,
Gozde Pekdinc Photography -

I booked Gozde as our wedding photographer after a recommendation on fb and I am so glad I used her. She was charming and sweet, and very professional. She took notes of all my requests which she reminded me about on the day as my brain was overwhelmed at times. Gozde was at my wedding early to capture pictures of me arriving and the photos of the ceremony and wedding guests afterwards were lovely. Overall we had around 400 pictures emailed to us, about 20 the following day and the rest within 2 weeks. They are free and easy to access and download. Price was very reasonable for 2 hours. I would highly recommend Gozde if you are on a budget as she offers great value for money and is a very nice person, so easy to deal with. Thank you so much -

Really couldn't recommend Gozde more strongly. She put everyone at ease on the day and the pics are all fantastic. She's a true professional and we were delighted to work with her. Thanks for everything.
