Kelly & Daniel’s wedding was a magical day that was alive and electric. Everyone was energetic and brimming with the party atmosphere. For any wedding photographers in Protaras this would be an ideal situation so I guess I struck lucky on this day. I started in the Grecian Park Hotel’s salon with the ever lovely Mary, who was fixing Kelly’s hair to perfection. From here we made our way to Kelly’s room where all the bride’s maids and the mother of the bride were also getting ready. I busied myself doing the usual shots of the shoes and flowers etc, when Kelly did her grand unveil of THE dress. I have to say, I have never seen quite such a reaction in all my time as a wedding photographer in Cyprus. There were screams, tears and plenty of happiness… it was wonderful to see such emotion and be able to capture it for them. The ceremony itself was beautiful, with glorious sunshine and the Grecian Park’s stunning views over Konnos Bay, it could not have been any more perfect for Kelly & Daniel.
Following the ceremony, they had their reception in the Umi Sushi bar. I love this room for its bright airiness, although, it is certainly a challenge for any photographer….but if you get it right, the photos will look stunning!
The rest of their evening was spent in the Gazebo, outside in the grounds of the hotel, where they ate and had speeches. Both Kelly & Daniel are teachers which possibly had something to do with how amazing the speeches actually were. Just a theory! There were five speakers, each as funny as the one before and each excellently delivered with plenty of emotion to boot. By the end of the day I was shot to pieces with the all the crying going on. What a great day… congratulations Kelly & Daniel!

What a lucky wedding photographer I am to have such a good looking couple! Charlotte & Daniel certainly made my life very easy as they, and their guest, were extremely comfortable with me photographing them. I was able to be largely ignored all day as they got on and enjoyed themselves. For this is perfect and is the ideal situation.
As with all bride’s, Charlotte had gone to a lot of effort to make her wedding day special, but she went the extra mile to ensure her wedding day was unique. With a vintage theme, Charlotte had her bouquet hand made (by her mum I think). When paired with her dress the whole look was absolutely amazing. The detail in the table decorations also echoed this theme but with quirky touches to make their wedding stand out. From the use of scrabble letters for place cards to the use of old coke bottle filled with sand to give that castaway feel. It was original and beautiful.
Their wedding was the day after Victoria and Simon’s wedding. I was so excited about the results I got back from their romantic shoot, I went straight back to see what the locations were like in different light and to try a few more different ideas I had knocking around. Again, Charlotte & Daniel were great. They were able to deliver exactly what I asked from them and did it with a swagger (in the nicest way). I was over the moon with the results, so please feel free to look through the images below. I am sure you will like them also…

The day started for me in Victoria’s hotel room, where she was having the finishing touches to her make-up applied by one of her friends. She looked great! Next on the agenda was the hair. We made our way to the Grecian Park Hotel’s hair salon. Resident hair stylist began doing her usual great job and Victoria’s hair was no exception. Everyone was looking stunning!
Victoria’s Grandad plays golf with my Grandad, which organically led to her finding out about me. It is nice to have a connection before I start work on the day, no matter how tenuous. There was an instant bond with the whole group as they all seemed to be very friendly, calm and relaxed. I was able to snap away quietly in the background all day without phasing the guests in the slightest. The ceremony itself was glorious…with bright sunshine and the jaw dropping views across Konnos Bay. It is certainly one of the nicest views in Cyprus for a couple to get married in front of. Beautiful!
Later on that day, I took Victoria & Simon out for a romantic photoshoot. I have to say, Victoria surprised me how well she took to it. She literally got up there and strutted her stuff coolly and confidently. We tried out several different locations which I normally do not have the chance to do most of the time. I am so glad they were open minded as I was able to experiment a little. I think the results speak for themselves as I was able to shoot a truly wonderful set of wedding photographs that I am sure they will cherish forever.
