Church Wedding & Baptism Photographer in Istanbul | Arman Marazyan

I was born in Istanbul on Mother’s Day in 1990.

My interest in stories, people, and meaningful moments eventually led me to photography.

My journey with photography began in 2014. What started as a hobby gradually turned into a deep passion. As I photographed more, I improved—and the more I improved, the more I fell in love with the craft. When this passion merged with the unique sense of calm photography offers, I decided to pursue it professionally.

Today, as a documentary wedding photographer in Istanbul, I have been capturing weddings and intimate family moments with my team since 2017, through photography and film.

My areas of expertise include Documentary Wedding Stories, Church Wedding Photography, Baptism Ceremonies and Engagement & Traditional Ceremonies.

Based in Istanbul, I work with couples and families coming from Turkey and abroad, particularly for Greek Orthodox and Armenian church weddings and baptisms.

When the wedding day ends, the meals served, the songs played, and the excitement of the day slowly fade from memory.

But photographs and films that truly reflect how the day felt can bring those emotions back—even years later.

My approach is not about directing the wedding day, but documenting it as it naturally unfolds.

From the preparation stages to the final moments of the night, I accompany your day discreetly, with full respect for the church rituals and ceremonial flow—capturing genuine emotions, sincere moments, and the entire story surrounding you as a whole.

Experience has taught me one thing:

Every wedding has its own soul, rhythm, and story waiting to be told.

What about your story?

Witnessing it and preserving it through timeless images is a true privilege for me.

If you feel a connection to this approach, I would be happy to hear from you.

Warm regards,

Arman Marazyan
