Introduction
With over 18 years of professional experience, I am a seasoned photographer dedicated to capturing the essence of moments through my lens. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of practicing photography in various countries, and my work has been recognized and rewarded on multiple occasions, as showcased on my website. My photographs have been published in prestigious international publications and newspapers, adding to my extensive portfolio of captivating imagery. I take great pride in the recognition I have received for my craft and the ability to tell powerful visual stories. Currently based in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, I bring my passion and expertise to this vibrant community. Over the past 6 years, I have become deeply acquainted with the beauty of North Carolina, its landscapes, and its diverse residents. This connection is reflected in the exceptional reviews I have received from clients on platforms like Thumbtack and Google, with over 140 reviews and counting. While my primary focus lies in storytelling wedding photography, my background as a photojournalist adds a unique perspective to my work. I seamlessly blend elements of photojournalism and lifestyle photography, resulting in a captivating fusion of candid moments and artistic compositions. Beyond capturing striking images, I am skilled in the art of post-processing and editing. With meticulous attention to detail, I enhance each photograph to bring out its full potential and deliver images that truly resonate. Photography is not just my profession; it is my lifelong passion. I approach each project with enthusiasm, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. My goal is to provide you with timeless images that evoke genuine emotions and encapsulate your individual story. Thank you for considering me as your photographer. It would be my honor to be a part of your special moments, preserving them through my lens and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

I hired Faeinlens to shoot a wedding reception. Ayhan was incredibly professional, got great shots without being obtrusive, blended in with the event seamlessly, was happy to let me direct him on a few of the shots (even though he did not need any direction he was very accomodating!) and most importantly the bride is thrilled with the photos Ayhan delivered. Ayhan is a pleasure to work with and when a bride is thrilled with the photos you know he is a talent! I will work with Ayhan again!

I hired Ayhan to take photos of a surprise 80th birthday party for my grandmother and found him so easy and enjoyable to work with from start to finish. He was very quick to respond to my initial request and confirm availability for my date, which was great because I was cutting it down to the wire in terms of planning and I needed to know right away if I should look for someone else (which, luckily, I didn’t have to). He showed up on time at our location that was out in the country and took great photos that my family will cherish forever. I know in the photography industry there are much more exciting events to be hired for (such as weddings, etc.) but Ayhan put just as much care into capturing this special event for my family as he would for something like that, and it really meant a lot to us. He also made the finished photos available very quickly and they turned out great. I absolutely would hire him again for any other event in the area!

Ayhan is incredible! Despite our wedding taking place outdoors in very hot weather, he remained professional and passionate throughout. I didn’t have a clear idea or vision for our wedding photos, but Ayhan provided so many helpful suggestions for us and our guests. He truly maximized the potential of the setting and brought his creative ideas to life. His editing skills are equally impressive, perfectly matching the photos to the desired vibe. If you’re still searching for a photographer for your big day, I wholeheartedly recommend Ayhan—he’s the one! We’re more than grateful to have had him, and we can’t wait to have him at our baby shower in the future!

Ayhan was so wonderful! He captured the baby shower and ceremony perfectly. It was a lot of rituals that he was not aware of, but was so attentive and able to keep up. I absolutely recommend you use his services for your next event.
