I don't think there will ever be enough positive things I can say about Cengiz and Chantelle and the INCREDIBLE job they were able to for me in regards to my amazing secret Paris proposal. I'll start off by telling you that I was planning a very elaborate proposal in Paris from the United States. What I had in mind included a photoshoot at 10 different locations in Paris, a surprise proposal on a private yacht, a carriage ride, intricate love notes, a decorated hotel suite with violinist, surprise brunch, multiple unique props and decorations, and much more. I say this because this all started out as a wild fantasy that I thought would be absolutely impossible, especially from all the way here in the United States. This is where Chantelle comes in. From the first conversation I had with her, she was magnificent, professional, and a miracle worker. She found me the perfect suite in less than 24 hours, when I had been looking unsuccessfully for almost a month. She is worth every single euro and is a MUST for any proposal you may be planning. She pays for herself multiple times over with her shining personality, her passion, and her incredible ideas. Moreover, once Chantelle and I created a vision, a timeline, and a budget together she started finding all the best vendors for discounted prices! Over the period of one month, Chantelle and I were in constant communication. She was always so excited to hear from me and extremely timely in responding to my emails and calls - even with the time zone difference. It is obvious that she had just as much passion about my proposal as I did and was fully invested in making this the most special day for both me and my now fiancé. The day of the event is when Chantelle really shines! The day before she sent out a fully detailed timeline to me and everyone on the team. Everything was executed FLAWLESSLY - a proposal event that started from 4AM and ended at around 1 AM went off without a hitch and it was easily the best day of our lives. We cannot thank Chantelle enough. You cannot talk about Chantelle without talking about Cengiz - they make the most unbelievable team. Cengiz was just as passionate about the proposal as Chantelle and I were, and I was able to talk to him through email and on the phone multiple times. Cengiz is not just your ordinary photographer - he is the whole package. He made recommendations on every aspect of the proposal, gave fantastic advise on how to get the best photos when proposing, and made the day so incredibly fun and easy. He has such a great energy about him and a personality that puts even the most nervous man who is about to propose at ease. Me and my fiancé are far from models and we have never done photoshoots before, but Cengiz made it so incredibly stress free with his charm and patience. He moved seamlessly from place to place, staying late during both the morning and evening shoot FREE OF CHARGE to make sure that all of the shots that we wanted were captured. He is a true gentleman and if you are want someone who is going to be as serious about your proposal as you are and will treat it with the utmost respect and care - he is your man. We just received our UNEDITED photos and they look BREATHTAKING and we cannot wait to see what the edited photos will look like. I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you thank you! You have made me and more importantly my fiancé the happiest people on this planet. I thank you for your passion, your commitment, your hard work, patience, and enthusiasm. You are special people who really take pride in helping create some of the happiest memories in people's lives. At the end of the day, if you truly want the most special proposal captured in an extraordinary way do not hesitate to hire Cengiz and Chantelle. I promise, you will not be disappointed! read more

You can save yourself reading more reviews and just go ahead and book this company. You don't have to read this one, since it will tell you it was the best decision. But if you care to, read on! I planned a trip with my girlfriend (now fiancé) to Paris, and knew I wanted to propose to her there. Ultimately wanted a photographer to capture the moment, but was completely new to the whole thing. Never booked a photographer before, never really planned a vacation before, never done any sort of international transaction before - but knew that I wanted that moment captured professionally and other location photos too. I searched around online and kept running across this one, and spent many hours reading reviews, scrolling galleries, requesting quotes, etc. After all the research I felt that this studio was the best fit for what I was looking for. I inquired about date availability and from that moment, it was such a seamless and easy process. I was matched up by a team member to Cengiz, who would ultimately be one of the best highlights of our trip. The company and Cengiz were a pleasure to email back and forth, carefully planning how I was going to propose and how to setup everything. Cengiz was so helpful in recommendations, working with me on the proposal setup, and made me feel so confident I had made a wise decision. We reached Paris and Cengiz was again very helpful and confirmed the time, place, and plans. The proposal was truly a fairy tale and so magical, and I am immensely grateful I had someone as artistically present and professional as Cengiz to capture it all. Cengiz was so warm and welcoming from the first words we exchanged in person, and made us feel immensely comfortable and fluid in our photo session. He made us feel like friends - instead of people who had just hired him to point a camera. The three of us shared in the joy of the moment, and the whole session was so fun and easy. Cengiz will forever be an integral part of that special moment in our history. We received the gallery of unedited photos very quickly, and my fiancé and I were blown away. We emotionally looked through all the photos, which even unedited were spectacular. Cengiz had made sure we got great shots and was helpful in keeping others out of them, and did so in a very kind and respectful manner. There isn't any other people in our photos which span across 5 locations, making it truly look and feel like we had our own personal Paris. We raved the whole trip and after about how Cengiz was so amazing and his team was so prompt and helpful. Despite research and all, I did take a small leap of faith with this studio based off reviews and look, so I hope this will encourage anyone in the market for a Paris photographer to stop searching and book this company - especially if Cengiz is available for your date! It was worth EVERY cent. I cannot stress enough how amazing, easy and comfortable this studio made this whole process. Thank you Cengiz and the entire team - words can not express my gratitude, my admiration, and sincere love for your work. read more

The best team you could ever find. ADAGION/KISS-ME-IN-PARIS is the dream team for anyone who wants the very best in planning a proposal in Paris and having that plan executed with laser accuracy and professionalism. Cengiz and Chantelle is the power team. The former a world class photographer and the latter a perfectionist proposal planner and organiser. My proposal started when I was in Malaysia planning over the phone, emails and WhatsApp. Despite the time difference, we were able to hatch together a plan for an epic proposal surprise. Arriving in Paris, I was not at all worried. I felt safe and I felt I was in good hands. All I had to do was to focus on my then girlfriend (now fiancé) and have a good time. Even when we massively changed big details of the plan a day before the set date, Chantelle and team were totally in control and took immediate action to make sure I was happy and that I was truly comfortable with the plan. Rarely you will find a team that would be able to cope with major changes last minute this perfectly. They prioritised me and Jane and they made sure nothing was left to chance when it came to my peace of mind and preferences. On the day of the shoot, Cengiz and Brad played their part so well, you would agree they probably have an acting career on the side. The surprise proposal was executed flawlessly and throughout the rest of the photo shoot, Cengiz and Brad knew everything they needed to create the most comfortable and beautiful photographs and motion picture even at 1 degree Celsius. They made sure nothing of ours was stolen and they had everything under total control. Cengiz's mastery over the entire process is exceptional and deserves recognition and special mention. He is a true master of his craft. Yet he manoeuvred around with such humility and friendliness. I now know why everyone wants Cengiz as their point man in a photo shoot. I will be very tempted to engage his services again for my pre-wedding photoshoot and work with him in even greater detail. That's how much I trust him now. I have seen the pre-edited photos. They blew me away. Instant classic. ADAGION/KMIP you are extraordinary. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Kevin and Jane. read more

5 stars and more for the extremely talented photographer, photo-whisperer with perfectly framed shots, Cengiz! Huge thanks to him, his team, Pierre, and Kiss Me In Paris ("KMIP"). Planning a SURPRISE sunrise proposal in the city of love, Paris (albeit a foreign country to me with a language barrier), was daunting but Cengiz and KMIP helped me become super comfortable with planning a truly special proposal. From browsing KMIP's large assortment of proposal ideas to their helpful blogs/videos, I confidently customized a sunrise surprise proposal which fit our style perfectly. Leading up to the big day, Cengiz was in constant, but discrete, communication with me to exceptionally execute the surprise proposal details. Arriving at the Trocadero for the surprise proposal, Cengiz gave me the exact time and location to propose for best results. He even brought an associate, Pierre, to capture additional shots and assist with our belongings! The surprise proposal went exactly as planned and Cengiz amazingly caught all of the emotions in his photos. For the next couple of hours, he brought us to all the great picturesque Paris locations for beautiful photos. Cengiz has a charming personality and made us feel very comfortable and like models! After the shoot finished, to our astonishment, Cengiz uploaded the photos online for viewing within 12 hours! We were in awe with the quality and emotion captured in the photos. A week later, my fiancé is still amazed at how I successfully pulled off a sunrise surprise proposal without her knowing but I can only thank Cengiz and KMIP for that! Overall, given how easy, eloquent and professional it was working with Cengiz and KMIP, I was able to focus on the most important thing, which was asking my girlfriend (now FIANCÉ!!!) to marry me! I cannot recommend Cengiz and KMIP enough; do yourself a favor and contact them for your photo sessions! I live in Chicago, IL and it went so perfectly, that Cengiz will be my first contact for engagement and weddings photos in the US (hope he likes deep-dish pizza) :)! read more

It would be hard to put into words how amazing this team is! My fiancé and I have used them twice; in 2017 for her birthday and most recent March of 2018 for a surprise engagement. My now fiancé found them on Instagram and let me tell you, their photo shoots are every bit of fun as they look! We did a morning session on January, so you can imagine how cold is was, our photographer helped us fight through the cold with some amazing pictures. We had such a good experience we decided to book another session on our trip back to Paris. I couldn't pass the opportunity to pop the question! Communication with this team is so easy, which makes the process very easy. We live in the US, about 6 hours of difference and had no issues with communication. At first you'll probably speak with Dexter, he answered all our questions, addressed time, budget, and which photographers are available. This time we booked with Cengiz, he was so much fun to work with. Even when the weather wasn't very helpful! We met at Pont Bir Hakiem (the inception bridge) as we arrived, a storm which I can't find words for started! Not just rain but cold rain and wind!!!! But Cengiz is was positive kept us engaged and focused. At the time I couldn't think of the quote but "Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain." Everything went perfect as the weather was terrible. Needless to say it turned into a perfect session because she said yes! And Cengiz not only shared it with us but caught every moment from the getting on one knee to popping champagne in celebration. Cengiz walks us though all his ideas and poses. I'll finish this essay with this, if you have ANY event. In Paris or not and your thinking of hiring a photographer, kiss in Paris is an amazing choice. Hope this helps. read more

Browsing through the Kiss Me in Paris website, I came across the Moulin Rouge champagne shot. What a fun, whimsical and romantic pose, and the perfect way to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary in Paris! So, with the encouragement of girlfriends, I found a Marilyn Monroe style dress and red stilettos then talked my husband into doing this! I emailed Dexter, KMIP's Studio Manager extraordinaire, who promptly responded with options and was so upbeat and encouraging, I started thinking maybe this could really happen! A few weeks before the shoot, Cengiz, our photographer, introduced himself by email and continued to answer questions and offer suggestions. He was so approachable, enthusiastic and charming in his correspondence, I had a good feeling we had just found the perfect photographer. Our night time shoot began near Sacre Coeur in Montmartre. Cengiz and his lovely assistant, Lina, immediately put us at ease. You knew you were in the hands of a professional so you could just relax and have fun. Cengiz was so talented at improvising and coming up with unexpected fun and flirty creative shots. When it began to rain he moved us under the awning of a cafe. When an ambulance pulled up and parked right in front of us, he was able to shoot around that and get some atmospheric cafe shots with a lovely "Midnight in Paris" feel. And, finally, the highly anticipated Moulin Rouge champagne shot...so...much...fun! Cengiz got the crowd all excited and cheering for us. We felt like movie stars! Did not want the night to end. AMAZING experience. Would love to do it all over again! The photos are incredible. Definitely the highlight of our Paris trip. Cengiz and his wonderful team at KMIP were simply perfect read more

My Fiancé and I were in search of a photographer to do some engagement photos in Paris and decided on Cengiz based upon his portfolio and online reviews. We couldn't be more happy with our decision! I CANNOT say enough good things about Cengiz and his work! We were impressed throughout the entire process. I received a response immediately when I inquired upon booking and had our shoot set up quicker than I could imagine. Cengiz also personally promptly replied to start a correspondence regarding our vision/timeline for the shoot. He also provided recommendations for hair, make-up and props! While I knew that Paris would provide a magical backdrop, I had anxiety going into the shoot as we have never had professional photos done before and I'm a little self-conscious. Cengiz put us at ease right away! In the beginning I was nervous about figuring out poses but Cengiz guided us through the entire shoot and was incredibly helpful and encouraging. Cengiz has a great energy and is very engaging and just downright fun to be around! He also went above and beyond to get us unique pics, such as stopping traffic and standing in the middle of a street!!!!! He is truly a dynamic and unique photographer! En route to one of the locations, Cengiz even called one of his favorite restaurants and made us a reservation to have dinner after the shoot, which my Fiancé and I truly enjoyed! We woke up to an email that our unedited photos had already been uploaded, a turnaround of less than TWELVE hours! I would 110% recommend Cengiz to ANYONE! Book him!!! read more

My girlfriend (now fiancee) and I are both from the US and came to Paris to have a romantic vacation together. I planned to propose to her in Paris months beforehand, and went searching the internet for the best photographer to capture the occasion. I stumbled upon Cengiz and his team by happenstance and have never once regretted my decision to have them photograph such a momentous occasion. Cengiz not only worked with me to plan the timing of the proposal perfectly so that it could be captured, but he actually FOUND the location for me through his connections in Paris, too! At every step of the way, whenever I had come up with some additional detailed request for the proposal (flowers, champagne, chocolates, etc.), Cengiz came to the rescue, always staying in communication with me throughout the months leading up to the event. I booked him for a follow-up photoshoot two days later in Paris for engagement photos and he was extremely professional the whole time and really worked with both my fiancee and I to get photos that we wanted and that looked INCREDIBLE. He even went as far as getting a few photos to us the very next day so that we could use them to announce our engagement! Needless to say, Cengiz is absolutely fantastic, and really went above and beyond to help make such a special occasion memorable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for any special occasion. He is simply the best. read more

What an incredible opportunity to be able to work with Cengiz and Lina! My fiance and I got engaged at a small perfume shop in the Marais, and I thought the photos would be a special way to actually remember the proposal. Cengiz and Lina did a great job being discreet, but also capturing amazing candid photos that we will treasure forever. Moreover, just working with them to set up the proposal was extremely smooth and easy. They were very professional, detailed and just made for a great process. I thought it would be special to take pictures after the proposal as well, which is truly where the magic happened. The team's attention to detail and artistry produces the most surreal images!!! We at first thought the posing would be awkward, but their directions come across so natural and easy -- frankly, it was fun! By the end of the session, we actually wanted to take more photos. Cengiz and Lina are both so kind and fun to be around, and the experience proved to be a truly memorable time celebrating our new engagement!! They provide a very comfortable and upbeat atmosphere, which is key when taking any sorts of photos. We can only hope that we can book them for the wedding. Do not hesitate to book these two - they will capture the most beautiful photos in the most beautiful city in the world!!! Thank you so much, Cengiz and Lina!! read more

My boyfriend (now, fiancé) had planned a sweet getaway in the city of love, Paris. Little did I know that he was planning something else along with it. It was a cold Monday afternoon and he told me to get ready for a nice dinner that he had reserved for us on a boat (his excuse to get me all dolled up for a sweet surprise that was in store). We arrived at Bir Hakeim where a jaw-dropping sight of the Eiffel Tower shadowed over us. He told me we had to wait there for a shuttle bus to pick us up and meanwhile took selfies of me with the background. We walked around the area until he got down on one knee. I knew this day would come but I never imagined it to be in Paris. Tears fell uncontrollably, and after saying "yes", he asked me to turn around and that's when I spotted our photographer capturing every single moment. From the tears falling, to our kiss of promise, every moment was captured and I can forever look back at that moment when nothing else mattered. Cengiz made this special moment even more magical by making it into a Parisian fairytale. We took beautiful photos with stunning views, and even some at a nearby cafe. He listened to all of our thoughts and shared his creative ideas--and with that, this unforgettable moment was captured with breathtaking photography. I'm forever grateful! read more

My husband surprised me with a trip to Paris and a photo shoot with Cengiz for our ten year anniversary. As you can imagine, I was blown away, excited, but also nervous for the actual shoot. I think photo shoots and some photographers can be intimidating. I was worried I wouldn't feel confident, I was afraid I wouldn't know what to do, or that we wouldn't get the shots I wanted. From my first communication with Cengiz via email, he was very responsive and exuded warmth and eagerness. As soon as we stepped out of the car and met him, I was set at ease by his caring and approachable demeanor. And throughout the photo shoot, his confidence gave ME confidence. He has a plan. He knows exactly what shots he wants, where to get them, and how to get them. He was very specific in his direction, explaining step by step, shot by shot, how he wanted my husband and I to pose, smile, etc. I REALLY appreciated his guidance and his expertise. I can't think of one more location or one more picture I would have wanted to do. He made sure we got them all! This was an unforgettable experience, thanks to Cengiz. We would do this again a thousand times over. read more

Engaging Kiss Me In Paris for our pre wedding shoot was an amazing experience. We chanced upon them on the website and decided to engage them for our shoot. The team was quick in responding with our enquires and very informative. We felt that they are very sincere and professional. Cengiz was assigned to us as our photographer. He was punctual and able to have our first shoot with no other photographers around! Before the shoot, he brief us on what to do and the directions he is heading to. During the shoot, we felt that Cengiz is very passionate and knowledgeable about photography. We trust him in his professionalism and let him guide us through. Throughout the shoot, he was very patient and his instructions was very clear. We felt very comfortable and was able to finish up at many locations within the timeframe. He engaged us into small talks and we felt that we are just friends! Talk about efficiency, We were surprise that the raw photos were given to us on that same night! We are now in the process of picking our pictures and it look amazing, we can't wait to see the edited photos! Overall we are very happy to have engage them ! read more

I heard about Kiss Me In Paris from my future father-in-law. He recommended them shortly after I asked to marry his daughter -- and I'm so glad he did! Right from the get-go and my initial email inquiry, the team were informative, responsive, and incredibly impressive. I already had a fairly clear idea of what I wanted -- the team were very helpful and they ensured that my ideas came to life. For the day I was offered a slot with Cengiz as my photographer. He made the whole experience of the shoot so much more enjoyable; and though emotions were running high after the proposal, he expertly coached us through it and calmed both myself and my fiancée down. He really thought of everything, from lighting to locations to posture. The photos came out even better than I expected, and there were so many of them to choose from. I really can't thank him enough -- both for sharing our special moment with us, and for leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend both him and Kiss Me In Paris highly enough. read more

We had an amazing time shooting with Cengiz, and most importantly - the photos were AMAZING! Cengiz and his team were responsive right off the bat at and very flexible to make sure they could cover the dates we were in town - even with a slight initial mix up, he and his team made it right. The resources he provided for the surprise proposal outshined any other photographers I spoke with, were the most detailed, and most importantly, helped make my surprise a success. It was great to have a quick session with him before even leaving the US to review our likes and dislikes from their gallery, understand how to best create a surprise proposal, and exactly how to pose, put me at ease - as I was really nervous in the moment, but could focus on what I knew I had to do, and helped make sure we didn't lose any time with the shoot. The end product was priceless - far and away better than budget Paris photographers. Don't skimp on a once-in-a-lifetime moment - get Cengiz! read more

What a great experience! My husband and I knew we would regret getting a lackluster picture in front of the Eiffel Tower on our first trip to Paris together. Instead, we wanted a really gorgeous couple of pictures that do both us and the monument justice. We found Cengiz and Kiss Me in Paris via their awesome reviews. We were NOT disappointed. They provided all the information weeks ahead of time and we felt very comfortable with the plans for the shoot. They met us at our meeting point and really gave us our money's worth during the shoot. Lina was there to keep people out of our photos (although the morning was pretty calm) and kept things moving for us. Cengiz knows the perfect poses as well as how to make you feel extremely natural in front of the camera. If you're hesitant to spend money on pictures in Paris, I am telling you it's one of the best decisions we made. Now we have the most beautiful photos and the best memory of our trip! Thank you Cengiz and Lina! read more

Absolutely amazing experience! Cengiz and the team are the ultimate professionals. We not only have the best photos but the entire experience was incredible. We were given consultation before the day that included discussions about locations, props, style of photos and who we were as a couple to best maximise the impact of the shoot. During the session Cengiz and Vincent were fantastic, they gave us clear direction that was friendly and precise which turned into some stunning shots. We were a little worried going in about our ability to 'turn it on' for the camera however the energy, expertise and instructions given made all of the difference. The local knowledge that Cengiz has meant that we shot in 3 locations however got to snaps some great spots in transit also which gave us a great variety of photos. It is a financial investment well worth doing, we will have these photos for ever. read more

Cengiz and his associate Lina were both awesome. My wife and I traveled to Paris for our wedding anniversary and were decided to do a photo shoot to celebrate! Cengiz was very accommodating through the whole process of arranging the shoot long distance and available via Skype / Email when we needed him. Once we got to the day of and started shooting, we knew we were in good hands. He gives great direction and feedback during the shoot which makes the photos come out so good. Having the additional associate for the shoot was definitely worth the investment as you get a lot of additional time shooting, peace of mind not worrying about your things, etc. Plus she took some great additional shots as well! We would definitely recommend Cengiz and his team for any event or special occasion you want photographed, and we would use him again in a heartbeat. read more

AMAZING TALENT! Cengiz and Pierre just recently shot my fiance and I in Paris for our engagement pictures and we couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism, talent and enthusiasm. Cengiz made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and was extremely insightful with how to pose and position ourselves to achieve the best pictures. He made sure to capture all the poses and styles we liked with the upmost attention to detail. Cengiz and his team are truly the best of the best. It was such a wonderful experience working with them. We received our photos that very night and were blown away by how beautiful they were. Look no further than Adagion Studios if you want iconic one of kind pictures that speak a thousand words!!! read more

Words cannot describe just how impressed my husband and I both were with Adagion Studio! We were traveling to Paris for our 2 year wedding anniversary and we wanted to have some romantic, non-selfie pictures at The Louvre. Our photographers Cengiz and Anthony exceeded our expectation!. They arrived on time, and used every second of our allotted time to our advantage. They made sure every shot was the best shot! They were both so kind and clearly experts at what they do. If you are not good at taking pictures like myself, they were both so helpful in guiding us every step of the way. We appreciated that they were professional as well as personable. We will definitely use Adagion Studio again for our next special occasion! read more
