I couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Ben Bulent! From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and brought such an artistic eye to every shot. He captured the energy, emotion, and elegance of our event so beautifully—we’re still in awe of how stunning the photos turned out. Every moment felt authentic and effortlessly timeless. Truly a talent behind the lens! Highly recommend to anyone looking to elevate their event memories with exceptional photography.

Everyone at my party had nothing but good things to say about Ben and his work. Hiring Ben was the best birthday gift to myself. I look forward to working with Ben and Close Up Pictures again.

Bulent was simply amazing & exceptional! He was very supportive, patient & gave us insightful instructions on some elegant poses that made my proposal to my wife an amazing moment. It was raining, and Bulent still showed up & took amazing photos of us! He is simply just the best!
Florian K.
We got such wonderful pictures from Bulent. He is such a calm and easy going person, and we enjoyed having a photographer for our wedding shots that gave us simple instruction on how to pose without it seeming artificial.
I highly recommend Bulent’s work, we are beyond happy with the results!!
