Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a specific vision of what types of images you want from your wedding day, look at the top-ranked United Arab Emirates wedding photographers who have earned Artistic Guild awards for portrait and detail images.
Q: How can couples find top-ranked United Arab Emirates wedding photographers?
A: The WPJA created the original wedding photographer ranking systems. Our innovative system is based on contest winning points, meaning that the United Arab Emirates photographers you see at the top of your search results page have recently won the most — and the most recent — contest awards. Our contests judge photographers based on their creativity, style, composure, and ability to capture the heart of any couple's story on their wedding day.
Q: How can couples find reviews of United Arab Emirates wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements. Instead, we elevated our listings with the use of Client Letters, which represent the actual words and feelings of the clients who booked those United Arab Emirates wedding photographers for their own wedding.

Derya, we can't thank you enough for your contribution to our wedding. You and your team truly went above and beyond to ensure you captured every moment. It meant so much that you helped us capture the evening before with all our traditions. At every step of the process you helped us stay calm and natural. You have an amazing combination of professionalism and creativity. You and your team fit naturally into the whole wedding and were flexible enough to go with the flow. The end result was breathtaking. Both the photos and the video were stunning and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for capturing these memories we'll cherish always.

After the proposal we found ourselves in a very busy preparation schedule and we didn’t know where to start. But first of all we wanted to find the right person who capture our special day. We were so lucky because a good friend of us, who is a wedding planner, recommended you. Also we heard your name from another couple of friend who worked with you and we heard so many good things about you. Lastly when we went to the venue and the venue owners passed your name we knew we would be together on our wedding day:) After our first meeting you were so easy going and friendly, we trusted you fully. And when the big day arrived, you and the team worked so flawless and smooth, we are grateful! Every time we look at the photos and the wedding film, we say “We’re so glad that we got to work with you.” We thank you and your team dear Derya, for your amazing job you did for us and for your warmth and help. We love you!

Since we wanted natural photos and videos on our wedding day, we started a deep research and at the end of the day, we reached at you and you impressed us immediately. When we met, there was harmony that we felt like love at first sight. In the meeting the questions you asked about us, our relationship and how we met was impressive. This is very important because if you can understand each other with the team it affects your photos and videos, really good work can be done. And so it happened, without any stress and without realizing it, we had a romantic comedy-like wedding movie and amazing photographs. You and your teammates are very friendly and professional people. Most importantly, you all really love your job and do it very well. We would like to thank you and your team.
