Kiss Me in Paris Photographer: Award-Winning Luxury Photography

About Cengiz Ozelsel, Founder

Since founding Kiss Me in Paris Photographer in 2013, Cengiz (pronounced “Jen-gis”) has photographed over 2,000 wedding and engagement sessions across five continents. His work spans intimate couple shoots in Tuscany to grand celebrations in Rio, Istanbul, and Lake Como. His photography has been published by CNN, TF1, the Los Angeles Times, and Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, where he served as contributing editor.

A pioneer of sunrise engagement sessions, Cengiz is recognized for expertly combining all four aspects of modern wedding and event photography: candid photojournalistic shots, polished family formals, striking editorial portraits, and magazine-worthy detail photos. His work has earned awards from Fearless Photographers, WPJA, Junebug Weddings, and 1x.com. Based in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, he understands optimal timing for locations based on light and crowds, creating efficient shooting itineraries that make the most out of client time. His client roster includes first-time brides, A-list celebrities, and royalty like Princess Ameerah Al-Taweel.
