Meet Yez Lifestyle Photography
Hi, I’m Mustafa
I grew up in south east of Turkey, from a Kurdish background, after immigrating to Ireland in 1997 and I have lived in Derry since. I named my studio name after the initials of my three beautiful children: Yasmin, Emine and Zara. Yez Lifestyle Photography was established in 2003 and since then I've have had the pleasure of photographing hundreds of weddings and portraits in this beautiful country of Ireland and abroad.
Weddings in Ireland are magical occasions, shared with family and close friends and I love to capture those moments, I have always loved photography. It is such a powerful storytelling medium and to documenting the special bond between bride and groom and the people they share their day with and your unique story, your timeless memories.
My photographic style is inspired by a range of influences, including fashion photography and film. I shoot to aim, classic look, also for a modern look with warm, subtle tones and contrast, and touch of fine art.
Needles to say that my wedding and portrait photography has won numerous awards. Whether it is a family group or a child, I aim to put everyone at ease, and tell your story in clearest and most authentic way and to bring out their distinctive personality.
