Lodos
Photographs that tell your day as it was, unstaged.
We are a small studio of two photographers in Cihangir. At weddings we are both there; for outdoor sessions we come at the hour the light is best.

Selected work
We open each wedding's full gallery together when we meet; here are just a few frames.
Our approach
We don't direct poses, we suggest places. While the day runs its own course, we stand in the right corner.
From the getting-ready room to the cake, it is the same two of us. One works close and quiet, the other holds the wide view of the hall, so we catch both your mother's tears and the whole dance floor.

FAQ
Before you ask

No. Every photo goes through light and color correction before delivery; RAW files are kept backed up in our archive for a year.
For Saturdays from May to September, we suggest writing 6-9 months ahead. For weekday ceremonies and outdoor sessions, a few weeks is usually enough.
We reschedule once for free. We can also pick an indoor backup location; we decide together the day before.
We apply at locations that need a permit. The hourly fee is paid directly to the venue and is not added to the package price.
Yes. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately; for weddings in Cappadocia, Bodrum and the Aegean we arrive a day early to walk the venue in its light.
Changing the date is free if the shoot is more than 60 days away. On cancellation, the deposit follows the refund clause in the contract.
