Baris photographed my son's 1st Birthday at a public venue yesterday. He arrived promptly, was very attentive to our needs and made sure any requested photographs were done as soon as possible; to assure those special moments were captured right away and not forgotten as the party progressed. What impressed me the most with his skills, is his ability to capture candid shots that are so reflective of the moment. I can't tell you how many of the pictures at my son's party were candid / unposed, and came out AMAZING. He is WONDERFUL with children and all of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed his presence at the party. He is an incredible photographer and such an enjoyable person. read more

We had Baris take my child's birthday party, and he accommodated us even though it was Easter Sunday! Baris arrived early to make sure he was ready for the action! He was very professional even before I met him in person - always prompt to answer questions/texts etc. He made sure that all the parents were OK with him taking pictures of everyone - Wow, I don't think anyone's ever asked me that except at schools and the venues that want to use your kids pictures! He is on top of things! He captured some great pictures of the birthday child, of all the attendees and he worked very well within my parameters of no flash while indoors while it was gloomy outside. The man got things done and done right! I had spoken to other 'professional' photographers prior to finding Baris and they were not nearly as talented or professional or speedy in response compared to Baris and some of these guys charge an arm and a leg! I am ready to recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer! read more

It was a pleasure working with Baris. He definitely has a great eye and talented in his artistic photography skills. He communicated to us his photography experiences as well as what he had planned for our shoot. He arrived early (which is a plus with kids) and met us at our location. My son felt at ease working with him as so did the rest of our family. He is very honest, accommodating, and caring to our needs. We started our photo session in the evening and by 9 pm, we received our beautiful photos . That's a plus in my book! I am thankful for his talent and such fast service! We look forward to future pictures with Baris! Thank you so much! read more

Took his services for product photography. I was expecting good quality photos with commercial value since the reviews are really good. I was wrong. Photos taken have no commercial value. Also, when asked for better ones, he was very dismissive and the answers were NO, he can't do it. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY. read more

We are very happy with Baris Akyurt. He came on time, covered all the guests and the decoration, was very friendly with the guests while taking their pictures, and took excellent photos. We didn't have enough lighting in our party hall, which is a challenge for photography. But the photos Baris took have come out absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend Baris! read more

I cannot more highly recommend Baris Akyurt Photography. We hired Baris to photograph our wedding reception, located inside a lowly-lit club. The photos Baris took are all fantastic. The low lighting wasn't a problem for him at all, and, due to his tireless work, we now have gorgeous photos of each couple, each couple with us, each group of friends, and all the family groupings. It's so complete that we'll be able to print out a photo of each guest and send it to them as a thank you. Such a talented and professional photographer! read more

Baris is an excellent photographer and business man. I was consistently impressed throughout the entire process. I flew out to SF to do a photoshoot for my engagement. I asked Baris to assist in picking out photoshoot locations since I am not from the area. Baris, sent the list of locations and they were beautiful. Before the photoshoot, he sent a reminder to confirm. Our locations were all outside, and Baris did his homework to check the weather conditions before going out. On the day of, he arrived early and waited in his car outside of the hotel for us. Boris is super friendly, easy going, and has a positive attitude. We felt very comfortable with him. I even forgot my sunglasses for one of the looks and he let me borrow his. I was shocked that he edited all of the photos (probably 200) and got them back to us the same day. He is very on point. I could not be happier and 100% recommend him. read more

Baris took our annual family pictures this past weekend and was a pleasure to work with. He was unfazed by my son's unwillingness to cooperate for pictures and was so good with him. He miraculously managed to get some great pictures! Baris was very relaxed and even gave us some extra time beyond our scheduled session to try and get some more pictures in. He sent the pictures over right away and we are pleased. We will definitely be working with him again. Highly recommend! read more

Baris is a pro and comes in with his own lighting and is ready to go on schedule. He makes you feel at ease in front of the camera and has an eye for interesting portraits. He picked up very quickly on the kind of shots we were after, and in this case it was for promoting some classical concerts but with modern twists. Turn around is quick, and he is an absolute pleasure to work with! I actually found him by looking through portfolios online and his website photos and blog stood out and really spoke to me - so glad we gave him a try. read more

Baris is outstanding, both as a photographer and a person; and very reasonable! We hired him for our daughter's first birthday party. He reached the venue before us and even helped us out. Great with the baby and does not miss a moment. People at our party were asking for references and he has our highest recommendation! His photos are beautiful. He knows what he is doing so you don't have to chase him to tell when to click. We were busy hosting our event while he made sure every detail of the event is captured! His charges are very reasonable too. I searched a lot and got the best deal with him. I must mention a particular instance which proves he is a thorough professional too. We had also asked him to livestream the event but because our internet was slow, the livestream was hanging. He did not charge us for it despite our insistence! He is amazing and you don't need to search any further. Hire Baris! read more

I got a maternity photoshoot with Baris and I'm really pleased with the results. Baris is a high quality passionate photographer who takes a lot of pride in his work and doesn't charge crazy amounts of money! He put so much effort and thought into shooting each photograph, I was able to trust him that they will all come out quite nice. He is very good at making you feel comfortable, guiding you for different poses, and he has a great eye for framing. He brought with him a good number of lenses and gave the shoot his 100%. He was not worried about getting money - rather he cared more if I was happy with the photographs. In fact he shares all the photographs digitally instead of just 10 or 20. In terms of communication, he is pretty honest and straight forward, easy to talk to and prompt in responding to messages. After the shoot, he delivered all the pics quite quickly - within 2 days! I'd love to work with him again. read more
