Cyprus Weddings – Nikki & Stephen
This was one of my first Cyprus Weddings of 2009 and Nikki & Stephen made it easy for me. I find it is always easier to gain stunning wedding photographs when there is some sort of connection. I found Nikki & Stephen to be friendly and good fun to be around. Their ceremony was lovely and was clear to everyone they were completely wrapped up in each other. Which is great to see! The Nikki, Stephen and their guests were all at ease with me floating around in the background. This makes photographing a wedding very easy. I think the only thing that worked against me on this day was the cloud, but this can make for a different look to the pictures as the light is flat and diffused. When it came to the personal shots, Nikki & Stephen were fantastic! They were game for anything and comfortable in front of the camera. I think you can see for yourself we did pretty well with the Cyprus wedding photography.

Cyprus Weddings – Lynsey & Wayne
Lynsey & Wayne were lovely handsome couple and a delight to work with. As a photographer, you can only wish for people as open to your ideas as they were. I nervously asked them if they wanted to do the sexy photoshoot fully expecting them to them to be horrified. However, they were excited to try something different and we managed to photograph a very successful sunset shoot. An absolute pleasure!

Cyprus Weddings – Emma & Jason
Emma and Jason’s wedding was one of my first in Cyprus and I couldn’t have hoped for a nicer couple. They were married at the Nissi Beach Hotel in Ayia Napa and the weather was sunny as usual. The atmosphere on the day was great. Everyone was happy and stress free, as everyone was there to have a good time and watch a loved one be married. Emma & Jason were an easy couple to photograph. Although I try not to get involved too much with the running of the day, when I did intervene at any point, they were more than happy to help in anyway possible. Their little girl was a little gem aswell. She was a bit overawed by the situation I think, but this helps, as I managed to get some wonderful, thoughtful photographs of her. Bless her!

Cyprus Weddings – Emily & Mark
Another lovely wedding at the Nissi Beach Hotel in Ayia Napa. This time we were at Emily and Mark’s Cyprus wedding. Photography is easy when you have such a good looking couple. They were very patient with me in the build up to the birth of my son and they kept their faith in me, right up until their wedding day. My son was born two days later, so it all worked out in the end. I will always be thankful for this.
What sticks out in my mind from this wedding was the sunset shoot we took them on. The clouds were a dense black everywhere and the sun was ducking below the cloud line on the horizon which gave the most magnificent light. Golden sunshine and a blackish background….very dramatic! I know it’s a bit anorak like, but this really floats my boat. I remember being very excited about it and I think the photos prove I was right to be excited as it was absolutely stunning!
For me, it makes a change to have a bit of cloud. Simple things please simple minds.

Cyprus Weddings – Anne-Marie & Ronan
Anne-Marie & Ronan were a stunning Irish couple who were married at the Nissi Beach Hotel in Ayia Napa. This hotel is the perfect location for Cyprus wedding photography. Fantastic gardens and a gorgeous views over Nissi Bay. You can’t get much better for Cyprus Weddings. I did not attend this wedding for very long but from what I could see, Anne-Marie & Ronan were very much in love and were going to make the most of their special day. This was the first time I have been to a wedding where the groom was barefoot. I thought this was fantastic! I am not saying it is a bad thing, but sometimes I think people take things a bit too seriously, but Ronan definitely did not and I thought it was brilliant. This was a religious ceremony at the Nissi Beach wedding gazebo with a vicar who does not like photographers. He can make things very difficult for me to get the photos I need for the people who have paid for me to be there. During this service, he even put his hand over my lens. This is a no, no! Suffice it to say, he stops me from obtaining the photographs I am paid to get and therefore lessening my service to my customer. I do not like this. I will not rant anymore although I could.
Aside from this, as you can see from the photos, everyone had a great time and we got some lovely photographs.

Cyprus Weddings – Chantelle & Martin
For Chantelle & Martin’s wedding we were at the Nissi Beach Hotel and it was of course a lovely sunny day. I wasn’t with them long enough to be able to get to know them too much. We crammed in a lot in the time we were there, so it was great fun. A real whirlwind for me and then I was gone. I am sure they had an absolute ball though…

Cyprus Weddings – Gemma & Paul
This was a great day with a lovely couple getting married, great weather and brilliant guests. There was a fantastic also, which I think comes across in the photographs I supplied them. This was the first wedding I practiced a new technique for sunset photography. The new technique allows me to carry on shooting after the sun has gone down. So this day was a learning curve for me also, but despite not having the technique mastered, the photographs still worked really well and we were all happy. The mark of a great photographer…. Ha ha!

Cyprus Weddings – Irene & Anton
What can I say about Irene & Anton? Let’s start by saying they were fantastic!! They were a Russian couple but only Irene spoke English, so I was a little apprehensive as I was thinking about how it was all going to work…but they couldn’t have been nicer. What I thought was lovely about them was you really got a sense of the happiness they both had for each other and their young daughter. Also you could feel their excitement of being married in such a lovely location. It was nice to be part of that…definitely.
Their wedding ceremony was at the small church at the Adams Beach Hotel in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. They were both Russian Orthodox but the ceremony was Greek Orthodox. Basically the same thing….but the actual service was in Greek but it was also translated into Russian as they went along. Suffice it to say, I hadn’t got a clue what was going on!! I just pointed my camera when something happened and we won through in the end. After the service, I took them to a place just outside of Ayia Napa…a lovley little beach called Ayia Thekla.
This was a couple that were completely comfortable in front of he camera. Irene told me she was once a model…and this shone through once we started with the posed photography. It was a case of giving her a couple of instructions and off she went. I have never had it so easy! We have kept in regular contact since their wedding and I cannot speak highly enough about them. Simply a lovely couple!

Cyprus Weddings – Katy & John
Another day, another wedding at Nissi Beach Hotel. : ) I am not sure why, but Nissi Beach Hotel seems to be where I prominently shoot most of my weddings. Which is lucky because it happens to one of my favourite hotels on the island. It is very easy to take a nice shot at his hotel as it is in an absolutely stunning location with outstandingly beautiful gardens. The wedding gazebo looks out over Nissi Bay…which I might add is a breathtaking setting. The water is so blue, it doesn’t look real… What better way to get married. With Chris the MC lightening the mood, I don’t know of anyone who has had a bad time here. I certainly have never come away from here with a bad set of photographs. Well…I haven’t ever had that problem anyway…but you know what I mean.
Katy & John were a lovely young couple, cementing what was already a gorgeous young family. It was a great day and I got some great photographs…
