Picking our wedding photographer was our number one priority, and going with Kuralay was the best decision we made! From the first time we face-timed, to actually meeting at our engagement pictures, and then finally at our wedding, she was so easy to talk to and work with. Her eye for pictures is truly amazing. We didn’t end up with the best weather for our engagement pictures, but what she was able to come up with was breathtaking. On the day of the wedding she was so helpful! She not only picked all of the best spots for our first look and portraits, but she also kept track of time and got us moving when things were slowing down. We didn’t have the best experience with the venue/day-of coordinator, but it was fine with Kuralay helping come up with time tables and keeping us to them. She had our sneak peek and full albums to us for both engagement and wedding day in such a timely manner. She makes it easy to share with your friends and family. I loved so much about our wedding, but the photos (especially ones she got of my dog!) /having Kuralay with us was one of my favorite parts. I will find any excuse to use her again in the future!

After we decided on our venue and date, I was the most concerned about finding that special photographer who would be able to click with the ineffable preference I had for photographs. I enjoy looking at photo albums of my childhood frequently, so I knew that our wedding photos would truly last a lifetime (and beyond) for us. I scoured the internet to look at various works by numerous photographers, but always ended up being a little disappointed at the styles that all seem to merge into similarities and "what is hip these days." I was looking for bright but deep colors, touch of romance, and the capability to tell a dreamy story of the wedding day. I was about to resign myself to just settling and picking whoever could meet just the basic minimum expectations, when I suddenly landed serendipitously on Kuralay's work. I yelped out loud to my fiance, "I have found her! I found our photographer!"

I nervously set up the first meeting with Kuralay, and as if I needed more reasons to choose her, she won us over with her creativity, kindness, and professionalism. Kuralay showed us numerous samples of her previous work and brought along a beautiful physical photo album. We booked her ASAP, and was excited to work with her. Kuralay helped us out with coming up with ideas and preparing for the engagement session. We are both introverts and can get very nervous in front of a camera. Kuralay was reassuring throughout the entire process, and on the day of the engagement session, she made us feel so comfortable that we sometimes even forgot that we were taking photos! Kuralay was prompt in turning around a sneak peek and the completed gallery for the engagement session. The photos were so beautiful that even before the wedding day, I was successfully able to convince a coworker to also work with Kuralay for her wedding.

Leading up to the wedding, Kuralay continued to be a big help in planning out the wedding day and the photography schedule. If we had questions or were confused, Kuralay helped answer them with her vast knowledge of wedding days. On the day of the wedding, Kuralay arrived promptly and immediately got to work on capturing the day. All of the guests and family remarked all day about how professional and nice Kuralay was. We had prepared a shot list for the family portraits, and Kuralay was very efficient in running through all of those.

We received the complete album of photos this week, and I am still in awe over how amazingly they turned out. Kuralay's work did not disappoint. Every single image was bright but with deep colors, had touch of romance, and told a dreamy story of our wedding day. Now, we can't wait to work with her to craft our own wedding album.

We have absolutely no regrets about choosing Kuralay, and highly, highly recommend her to all newly engaged!

Kuralay was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely organized in her work and has a way of organizing everything the client wants too! We first met at our engagement session. We went to Great Falls where Kuralay found the most amazing setting for our pictures. My husband and I grew up in the pool so it was fitting Kuralay suggested a spot with a beautiful water and rapid filled background, perfect to match our story. The photos turned out to be everything we wanted which only got us more excited for Kuralay to capture our big day! On the wedding day she and the second shooter arrived promptly and throughout the day kept to schedule, getting every shot we wanted. Throughout the night the two photographers got tons of amazing photos without us even noticing they were doing so. Kuralay sent us the full album in an extremely timely manner. The pictures were absolutely amazing and captured the happiness of the day so well! So beautiful!! My husband and I put a lot of effort in picking the best photographer for our wedding since photos have always been so important to us. We were so confident in Kuralays talent and professionalism, all the worries went away! Kuralay was a pleasure to work with, so nice, driven, creative, and personable. We couldn’t have picked a better person to capture the love of our wedding day! Thank you for everything Kuralay!!!
