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 for 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 create a classic look with a modern feel. Warm, subtle tones. Clean contrast. A simple approach that lets you relax in front of the camera. You feel comfortable and natural. You get images that feel real, timeless, and personal to you.

My work has received multiple awards over the years. What matters to me most is the experience. I want you and your family to feel at ease. I want to capture your day in the clearest and most authentic way. Your story. Your moments. Your personality.
