I am beyond satisfied and grateful for the help and professionalism that Ness and Seyhan provided. I wanted to capture the very special moment of my proposal, but wasn’t sure how integrating photographers with a surprise would go. With their help, it couldn’t have been smoother and they definitely helped to calm my nerves. Their artistic style and kind encouragement during our shoot made our pictures turn out beautifully. I am extremely happy that I decided to go with these pros and will keep them in mind for future events.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful shoot. They showed us the best locations and really took the stress off of our shoulders. They understood that we would be nervous, so they helped calm us down and direct the shoot. Would highly recommend.

Ness Aral is a visual storyteller! She shot our family's 50th wedding anniversary on a bayside beach, capturing memories with families with children, babies, grandparents and aunts, engaged couples, and teenagers. Though she only met us for 2 hours, she was able to capture the essence of so many of our family sub-units and many generations. Ness is a pro. She showed up early, was warm and engaging, and most importantly made everyone feel at ease in front of the lens. If we were local, we would hire again!
Thank you Ness for your gorgeous work. We will cherish these memories for decades to come.

Ness and her husband gave us the best experience possible they both made our special day so comfortable took the best shots! They were so responsive and our event was last minute but they made it so easy to plan and for myself to incorporate the things I wanted! We would use them every time we are in San Diego! They are special

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each couple and every wedding is different. The story of your love, how you want it to be picturized, size of your wedding, and all details matter in finding the right price for your needs. The most important part of my job is to make you smile when you're looking at your wedding photographs and pricing shouldn't ruin your happiness.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I a professional artist and knowing you helps me draw your wedding context. The more I hear from you, your wedding details, the better I can provide my service.
Typically, I start with getting more information about the wedding details. Then I provide a list of items that I'll be planning to capture during the photography session. Something like, details of getting ready, pre-ceremony, family pictures, party time, etc. This will help you to understand and know what you will get as a result of my photography service.
Once I establish an outline and plan for the wedding day I send the photography contract to make sure both of our rights are well protected.
After all, the only thing that remains is the wedding and to have fun!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Professional Photographer with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Photography.
Starting from the very basics of dark room photography, my four years of college education built and improved my creativity and photography style.
