The quietest moment of the day is the one that stays.

Obsidia Atelier is a small team photographing weddings, portraits and products in natural light, without getting in the way. Look at the work first, then read the packages; if your date is free, we plan the rest together.

Selected work

Portfolio

The work is sorted by type of shoot, so you reach what you are looking for in one tap. Tap any photograph to see it large.

What makes the difference

How we look

Instead of directing poses, we wait for the moment to arrive by itself. Three habits make that possible.

  1. We read the light first

    We see the venue before the day, ideally at the same hour, and note where the windows and the sun are. On the day, nobody is dragged into the light.

  2. We stay out of the way

    Direction is kept to a few short portraits. For the rest of the day we work among the guests, quietly.

  3. Fewer frames, finished

    We remove near duplicates and edit every photograph by hand. You receive a story that reads from start to finish, not hundreds of options.

Clear scope

Packages

Every package is written the same way: duration, team, delivery and format. The fee comes in a written quote based on date, city and extras.

How it works

Process

Five steps from your first question to delivery day; you know what happens at each one before it starts.

  1. Frame 01

    Date enquiry

    You send the date, city or venue and type of shoot. Same day enquiries are answered in order.

  2. Frame 02

    First meeting

    A short call online or at the studio. We go through the flow of the day and the frames that matter most.

  3. Frame 03

    Contract and consent

    Scope, turnaround and portfolio consent are put in writing. The date is confirmed on signature.

  4. Frame 04

    The day

    We arrive early, check the light once more, then step back and watch the day unfold.

  5. Frame 05

    Selection and delivery

    A preview first, then the private gallery. If you like, we choose the album layout together.

Questions

What couples and brands ask most before deciding.

Why are prices not on the website?

Duration, city, a second photographer and an album all change the total. Every date enquiry gets a written quote with scope and fee; nothing is binding until you approve it.

Is a free day in the calendar reserved for us?

No. The calendar informs, it does not book. A date is held for you once the contract is signed; until then, enquiries for the same day are answered in order.

Will our photos appear in your portfolio?

Only if you agree. The contract has a separate consent for portfolio and social media use, and no frame you have not approved is shared. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Do you shoot outside Istanbul or abroad?

Yes. Travel and accommodation appear as a separate line in the quote. For weddings with international guests we work in English, German and Turkish.

Can we receive the unedited raw files?

Raw files are drafts, so we do not hand them over. Instead every selected frame is edited individually and delivered in high resolution, ready to print.
