Gigi Goknur Olguner is a true artist!
I recommend Eleven Hearts Studios to anyone who wants quality and modern photos of their wedding. The owner and the main photographer Gigi is a true artist. From the very first moment you get into her studio you surrounded by books, paintings and pictures. She is very talented, professional as well as personable. She was so easy to work with for my wedding. Eleven Hearts Studios understood exactly the pictures that we wanted. The proofs were available online before we returned from our honeymoon. The Album that they created is indescribable! Thank you for such quality work! WE LOVE YOU!

Eleven Hearts Studios will be our first and only recommendation!
Gigi, The photos are amazing and so are you! Thank you for everything you've done for us! We are so lucky to have you. Your unobtrusive style resulted in many pictures that we didn't even realize that were taken. Your hard work, patience and expertise were excellent. From the moment we got into your studio, we knew that you were perfect for us and you certainly fulfilled our beliefs. Eleven Hearts Studios will be our first and only recommendation. Can't wait to get together again for our Trash the Dress session. We love you! Best wedding photographer in DC!

Well recommended. I did a portrait session with Eleven Hearts Studios (Gigi) and was very pleased with the results. Very easy and cool to work with; the session felt relaxed and fun. She's also creative and artistic, which her online portfolio(s) is a testament to that. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for any photographic need.

She's also creative and artistic!
Wonderful Engagement Session. My fiance and I love our engagement pictures. We had such a great time working with Goknur. We never felt posed for any of the pictures, it was just natural and fun. We are so excited for Gigi to be a part of our wedding and highly recommend Eleven Hearts Studios to anyone looking for their wedding photographer.

Our Gigi,

We were so lucky and happy to have you join us at our wedding and put so much positive energy into recording it all. The location, weather and my inability to keep a straight face were all challenging and you rolled with all of it like the pro you are. You are such a joy! It was truly a wild pleasure to have you with us in WV. Thank you for making the many sacrifices necessary to allow us your beautiful presence. You are a gem, Goknur doll!

Big Hugs from us,

I didn't get married, but I did have a portrait session with Goknur. A hallmark of a good photographer is versatility, and this she has. Very easy and accommodating to work with, she produced pictures that were unique, with good compositional style and just overall excellent quality. Would recommend without hesitation.

None of our photos felt forced!
 

We are extremely happy with our beautiful wedding photos taken by Eleven Hearts Studios. 
None of our photos felt forced, yet we had a blend of mostly candid and some posed shots.

Gigi is such an artist and she captured every moment, smile and emotion, at the same time being so smooth and unobtrusive. Highly recommended and such a pleasure to work with.

Me and my wife are extremely happy with Eleven Hearts Studios services.

From the first day we have met with Gigi, we knew that we are making a right choice having her as photographer for the biggest event in our life. The wedding went great, what a great memories..., but photographs are even better.

Every image comes out beyond our expectations, full of feelings and emotions. My wife and I would recommend them to anybody looking for a talented and easygoing photographer.

Our wedding day was absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed every minute of it and thanks to Eleven Hearts Studios we have the perfect photos to remember it by.
Goknur was great to work with. She captures our wedding day above and beyond what we expected of a photographer. She was very professional and goes about her work so discretely that we were astonished at some of the moments she managed to capture.
The photo album is elegant, we can't stop looking at it and showing it off.

Amy and Daniel Durham


Eleven Hearts Studios did our wedding photography for us and she was fantastic! Gigi is really effortless to work with, friendly, professional, and helpful from beginning to end.

The pictures are exceptional, exactly what we'd hoped for - natural shots that captured the day as it happened.
Comments from our friends and family have been: 'She captured this moment perfectly', 'the best wedding photos I have ever seen!'
 

We really impressed with her work and will continue great relationship.

Kate and Mike Rivers


Aside from selecting my husband, Eleven Hearts Studios was hands down the best choice we made for our wedding day.
 

If you want photographs that are artistic, photojournalistic and full of life - this photographer is for you! Gigi has not only an artistic, photojournalistic eye, but the ability to capture true emotion at the moment when it's happening. That skill in of itself makes her worth every penny you'll pay. She captures moments that pass so quickly and create amazing images, while she will blend in seamlessly with your event. 

When my family and I viewed the images for the first time we were absolutely speechless!
 

Thank you for amazing service and unforgettable moments captured by you! The BEST photo studio in Washington.

Bride before the ceremony

 

We had an amazing experience with Gigi from Eleven Hearts Studios. She is an incredible photographer and artist and was such a pleasure to work with, I can't image doing it again with anyone else. Not only were the pictures phenomenal, but she was such a joy to work with and made us feel so comfortable the entire time as she captured our perfect day.Thank you so much my friend. We love our photos. 

Dawn and Stephen Bauer


Owner of Eleven Hearts Studios Gigi was amazing. She made our day unforgettable. Everything runs smoothly and we didn't even have to think about whether we look good or not. The outcome was amazing and everybody loved our pictures. These pictures are almost timeless!

Leslie Kaminoff


I actually can't stop looking at the photos, they are so amazing and have been very inefficient at work yesterday! Thank you so much. There are just so many we love, it's hard to choose just a few favorites. They are all just so wonderful and everyone who has seen them has commented on what an amazing photographer you are.

We are both absolutely delighted!

I can't believe how many great moments my wedding had! If it wasn't for the photos, there were memories we had forgotten about due to the motions of the day. Goknur from Eleven Hearts Photography was able to capture the magic our day without being too noticeable. Her professionalism and talent is evident in the final product. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Victor and Katherine Ortiz


We could not have been happier with our experience with Eleven Hearts Photography.
The images came out unique and stunning, Goknur captured every single moment of the day and night. She was supportive and came out with great ideas to make our day even more special. 
Goknur Olguner is a world-class wedding photographer, we love her style and professionalism. Gigi is the best wedding photographer.

Eleven Hearts Studios are the best! 

We booked Goknur of Eleven Hearts Photography after we saw pictures from a friend's wedding.

We couldn't have dreamed of having a better photographer for our special day. Not only she was friendly and sweet and simply awesome, her photographs are gorgeous.

Goknur has the skills to capture unique moments, tell the story of the day and beautify document events as they unfold, she takes a personal interest in her subjects and gets to know them to provide a very personalized finished product. 

We loved our photos and were pleased they captured many wonderful moments at our wedding!
