Cyprus Weddings – Joanne & Carl

What a fantastic day and what a great couple!! We had a lovely time at this wedding. The Athena Beach Hotel in Paphos was it’s normal fantastic… There is something about his hotel that is just right for my style of photography. I like it a lot!
The Wedding Gazebo faces out on to a lovely beach and a sparkling sea. They have got the gazebo situated so it is out the way of the main part of the hotel so there is a certain degree of privacy. However you do get the odd passer by stopping for a nose, but we just ignore them. They are kept at arms length anyway. : ) Once the ceremony was complete we did the normal groups shots, followed by some romantic photography with just the two of them. We didn’t spend too long doing this because it was so HOT! So we decided to head up to the wedding champagne reception area. For me, this is the part of the day I am in my element. The wedding champagne reception area is laid out in such a way where I am able to hide a little easier and therefore capture the guests unaware. My main focus normally would be photographing people deep in conversation…laughing, or just a look of concentration. Something along these lines. I love this hotel for this!
One thing I really enjoyed about this day was the guests. They were so friendly and easy going. Just my kind of people! Also, there wasn’t any fear of being photographed. Everyone was happy for me to be pointing my camera at them. This makes my job so much easier and in the end it makes for a much nicer photo album if people are ok with me being there.
The sunset photography from this day was lovely. Paphos is one of the best places in Cyprus for sunsets! Depending on the time of year, the sunsets over the sea. (not on this day) This makes for some extremely romantic scenery and stunning photography. This is why people come to Cyprus to get married. Take a look at the photos below for the proof…
