Cansu Şîya Yildiz, wedding photographer

About me

I have been photographing since the age of fourteen. My first digital camera was a gift from my aunt — and ever since, I have been holding on to singular moments, always searching for what lies between them.

As an actress, I learned what it means to stand in front of the camera. What widened that experience was the view from behind it — a different, equally fascinating perspective on the very same scene. To be that close to emotion, to stories, to encounters, through a lens: I have always felt it as a privilege.

Through many journeys and my work in documentary photography, I eventually found my way to weddings — and today I bring both worlds together.

Above all, my work is about making the moment, and its magic, visible.
