Our Story
The People Behind Your Story
Two storytellers, one shared obsession with how light, place and emotion come together.
Our Philosophy
We believe a wedding film or photograph should feel like a memory, not a performance. Our approach is documentary at heart and cinematic in execution — we observe closely, direct gently, and let the story lead. Every couple, every culture and every celebration we work with shapes how we tell that particular story; nothing here is templated.
Mohammad Tavakoli
Photographer & Filmmaker
Mohammad is an Iranian photographer and filmmaker with more than 20 years of experience across photography, filmmaking and visual storytelling. Over two decades, his work has moved from journalistic image-making to the intimate, cinematic visual language that now defines ISO Wedding. He approaches every wedding the way he would a film set — reading light, anticipating moments, and staying close enough to capture what's real without ever getting in the way of it.
Mahtab Behrayan
Creative Director & Writer
Mahtab is a creative director, writer and idea strategist with a strong narrative and artistic vision. She shapes the story behind every shoot long before a single frame is captured — from the mood and pacing of a wedding film to the words that accompany it. Her background in writing and ideation brings a layer of meaning to the studio's work that goes beyond the visual, turning each project into something closer to a short story than a photo set.
Why ISO Wedding
ISO Wedding began as a focused expression of something Mohammad and Mahtab were already doing through Tavakoli Studio: telling love stories, cinematically, in one of the most visually rich cities in the world. Based in Istanbul, the studio was created specifically for couples — Iranian couples living in or travelling to Turkey, Turkish couples, and international couples — who want their wedding, pre-wedding or couple session told with the same care as a film, not just documented like an event.
A Premium, Story-Driven Approach
From the first message to the final film, every step is built around storytelling rather than templates: a real planning conversation, locations chosen with intention, and a final gallery or film that feels like your story — because it is.
