London Love: Inside Tanyel REVAN & Ediz’s Glamorous Engagement at The Ned
Under the glittering chandeliers of The Ned London, surrounded by couture gowns, champagne, and golden light, Tanyel REVAN & Ediz celebrated not just an engagement, but the start of their forever.”
Every love story has a beginning, but some begin with a little more sparkle. For Tanyel Revan, who first won hearts on Love Island, and her fiancé Ediz, their engagement celebration at The Ned London was nothing short of spectacular.
January 2024 — a month of new beginnings, renewed dreams, and quiet manifestations turning into reality. There was something beautifully poetic about starting the year with a story of love so radiant, it felt cinematic from the first frame. When Tanyel Revan, the radiant star who first captured hearts on Love Island 2023, called me to photograph her engagement celebration, I knew it would be something extraordinary. Tanyel has always had an aura — confident, warm, and effortlessly glamorous — the kind of woman who lights up any room she walks into. From her time on Love Island, she spoke openly about her hopes, her vision for love, and her dream of one day meeting “the one.” And when her fiancé Ediz proposed to her in the breathtaking city of Istanbul, it was as though her long-awaited chapter had finally written itself in gold.
Their engagement celebration took place at The Ned London, one of the capital’s most exclusive members’ clubs — a venue that defines modern luxury with an old-world soul. The Ned, once a grand 1920s bank designed by Sir Edwin “Ned” Lutyens, now stands as an architectural love letter to Art Deco elegance. Beneath its soaring marble columns and ambient golden light, the space feels like stepping back into the glamour of a bygone era. It’s the kind of place where every celebration feels like a scene from a film — where laughter echoes beneath chandeliers and champagne flutes never seem to empty. Over the years, it’s hosted countless glittering soirées and intimate weddings, each one dripping in that same London allure.
But on this night, the room belonged to Tanyel & Ediz. Their love was the theme, their laughter the soundtrack. The evening was brought to life by the meticulous vision of Jevdet Orgen (@jevdetorgen) — Tanyel’s cousin-in-law and a master in the art of luxury event design. I’ve had the joy of knowing Jev for some time, and his attention to detail always astonishes me. He has an intuitive way of turning emotion into environment, creating spaces that feel deeply personal and beautifully refined. For Tanyel and Ediz, he curated an atmosphere that was both romantic and modern — candlelight dancing against mirrored glass, lush florals in soft blush and ivory tones, and touches of gold that glimmered like starlight.
As the night unfolded, every detail felt intentional — a reflection of their journey together. Tanyel looked ethereal, her gown catching the light in all the right ways, a vision of glamour and grace. Ediz, effortlessly poised in his tux, couldn’t take his eyes off her. There’s a quiet magic in photographing a couple who are so clearly intertwined in every glance, every gesture. They made love look easy — natural, honest, and deeply felt.
What I adore most about photographing events like this is that moment of stillness amidst the luxury — the fleeting glance, the shared laugh, the unspoken connection that tells a story words never could. Tanyel and Ediz trusted my vision completely, allowing me to capture their evening not as a posed event, but as a living, breathing story. It’s this creative trust that makes every frame come alive.
The team of suppliers who helped bring the evening together were nothing short of remarkable. Working alongside my dear friend Erin from @yourdayunplugged, who handled content creation with such grace and artistry, was a joy. It’s always inspiring to be surrounded by fellow creatives who share the same passion for storytelling through beauty.
And then, of course, there was The Ned itself — ever the picture of refinement. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels bespoke. The doormen greet you with a warm smile, take your bags, open your car door, and somehow make you feel like royalty before you’ve even stepped inside. Every corridor hums with quiet sophistication; every marble floor seems to hold echoes of London’s most exclusive celebrations. It’s the epitome of high class — where elegance feels effortless and service feels personal.
As guests arrived — glittering in couture, sequins, silk, and satin — it became clear this wasn’t just an engagement party; it was an evening of fashion, love, and celebration. A night of golden laughter and dancing that lingered long after the music faded.
When I look back on that evening, I can still hear the soft hum of conversation, the clink of champagne glasses, the way Tanyel’s laughter filled the room. It was more than just an event — it was the beginning of a new chapter, a story of two souls stepping into forever with style, grace, and love that felt truly timeless.
A night I’ll never forget — and one that reminds me why I fell in love with the art of wedding storytelling in the first place.
