Protaras Wedding Photography – Grecian Park Hotel – Nicola & Lawrence

The wedding of Nicola & Lawrence was a gorgeous Northern Irish wedding which saw all the men dressed in traditional Kilts, Sporrans and Gillie shirts. There was a lovely atmosphere which is perfect for my style of wedding photography. The ceremony itself took place in a quaint Greek Orthodox Church named Ayios Constantinos (Dherynia) and certainly left me with a challenge as far as the light was concerned. With the bright sun pouring in directly behind and behind, to the couple’s right, it did not afford me the ideal conditions for producing great wedding photography. However, with a bit of fiddling with the camera settings and a little post production work on the computer afterwards, I believe, the unfavourable lighting conditions turned out to be the opposite and helped create some, lovely, dramatic imagery. It was my first time at this church and I would love to go back. It was beautiful!
The rest of the evening was spent at the Grecian Park Hotel in the Cliff Bar which overlooks the stunning Konnos Bay. The sun was setting and the light became very dim which presented a host of new challenges to overcome. I thrive on this and love working with available light and these low light conditions were fantastic! I managed to create several images just by candle light alone, which for me, have a spectacular atmosphere and a glowing warm feel to them. This is one of my specialities and something I look forward to as a wedding photographer.
The Grecian Park Hotel put on a fantastic wedding for Nicola & Lawrence, and I look froward to visiting there many more times this year and in the future.

Paphos Wedding Photography – Alexander the Great Hotel – Stacy & Christopher

This was my first wedding of 2011, which will be my last full season in Cyprus. As from 2012, I will only be in Cyprus for selected periods of time. Please see here for more information.
Stacy & Christopher were married on Monday 4th April, at the Alexander the Great Hotel in Paphos, Cyprus. It was a low key, but a very warm and personal wedding. There was just 7 people (including the Stacy & Christopher) at the wedding. Normally, to hear of such a small wedding party would fill me with apprehension as it is a lot harder to blend into the background and do my job well. I stand out much more and people are more aware of me. However, at their wedding, I was mainly ignored and they all got on with enjoying themselves regardless of what I was doing. This was exactly what I needed from them and it worked fantastically! I was able to stand back and just watch the day unfold. There was also good communication between us as well, with fun and jokes all day. It was a great atmosphere! This was a lovely for me as I was able to grab the photos I needed and have a great laugh too. We are a perfect combination I think…and it was made all the more special by the full, traditional Scottish wedding attire, complete with the lack of underpants!
The weather in Paphos was a little ominous to say the least as it was threatening rain all week. On the day, it was bright and cloudy but the rain held off just for them. As a consequence, the light was lovely and soft and the clouds were very dramatic. It was visually stunning and wonderful to work with. Please feel free to leave any feedback as I would love to hear from you.

Paphos Wedding Photography – Elysium Hotel – Rebecca & Daniel

The day began at the lovely Elysium Hotel where we photographed Rebecca and Daniel in their final preparations before there big moment. I must say I was suitably impressed with their room. They had a personal swimming pool!! I didn’t know they existed at the Elysium…. Very nice!
We soon departed for the St George’s Chapel for another lovely service. The guests were accepting of me and extremely easy going, so I had no trouble getting the shots I needed to make sure Rebecca & Daniel have the wedding photos they were dreaming of. Once the service was finished we had a quick photo session on the beach and on to a stunning location a short drive out of Paphos called Vasilias Nikolias Inn in the sleepy village of Nikolias. The sun was just setting and bathed the reception area in golden sunshine. Absolutely beautiful!

Paphos Weding Photography – St Georges Chapel – Rebecca & Matthew

This was my first wedding of 2010 and there is always some slight feelings of apprehension when I do my first wedding of the year. However, this wedding went extremely well and all worries go out the window as soon the door opens to the hotel room. Rebecca was great fun and didn’t seem worried at all about the events that were about to take place. There was a good atmosphere in the room when we arrived and this continued on throughout the day. Not everyone was comfortable with me being there but there was enough going on to keep everyone entertained so I could go on with my work and capture emotion of the day perfectly. Overall I was very happy with the outcome of the days photography and there are definitely some images that will make it to my portfolio. I can’t ask more than that…
