Multi-day and destination wedding photographer

A wedding should feel lived in, not produced.

I’m Meral. A former psychologist who photographs weddings across the Netherlands, Europe, and at sea.

You know how couples want beautiful emotional memories, but don’t want to spend their whole wedding posing? That’s where I come in.
Whether you’re planning a multi-day wedding on a private yacht, an intimate destination wedding in Tuscany, Andalusia, or the South of France, or a city celebration in Amsterdam, I’m here as your destination wedding photographer to preserve not just the moments, but the essence of your day.

I’m Meral. Intuitive and quick to read a room, so I blend in while catching the moments that matter.

Before I ever picked up a camera, I spent years as a psychologist learning to read a room, notice what people don’t say, and see what’s really there. That’s still what I do, but now with a camera in my hand.

If you’d rather be at your wedding than be directed through it, we’ll probably get along.

Most of my couples tell me they feel awkward being photographed. By the end of the wedding, almost all of them tell me they forgot I was there.

Testimonial

We chose Meral after seeing her at work at a wedding where we were guests. Her storytelling style of photography really appealed to us. In addition, we immediately felt at ease that day and said to each other: when we get married we want Meral to take our photos. We have said to each other so many times over the past period that we could not have wished for a better photographer. Meral, thank you for everything!

Where I photograph multi-day weddings

I have photographed multi-day celebrations from private yacht weddings at sea to destination wedding weekends across Europe, with a focus on Italy, Spain and Netherlands.

Testimonial

“Fantastic! Really stunning pictures! We are over the moon! Like we walked straight out of a magazine yet still so very us. We never imagined that it’d turn out this way. She captured everything and gave us more than we’d ever expected.”

Jacqueline & Arjan – Intimate wedding in the Netherlands
Wedding guests raise their glasses in a celebratory toast during an outdoor dinner in Tuscany.

Your guests are part of the story. Not just the styling.

The details matter and I’ll get them. But I’m watching for what happens between them: the conversation between you mom and mother-in-law. The friend laughing at something nobody else heard, your grandmother quietly taking it all in.
That’s where the wedding actually lives.
