Emily & Chris's Dream Cyprus Micro Wedding

Minthis Hills, in the hills above Paphos, is one of our favourite luxury Cyprus wedding venues. Surrounded by manicured lawns, this place has got the polished look down, with glamour, views and romance aplenty. With the soft, natural glow of the stone — which turns amber as the afternoon light fades — we always leap at the chance to capture a Cyprus micro wedding here.

Wedding morning

Secreted away in their indulgent suites, the bride and groom prepared on their wedding morning with the help of their A-team. Emily and Chris had only invited their very nearest and dearest to be with them for their Cyprus micro wedding, which meant the atmosphere was all about the love.

Aisle style

The groom looked dapper in a navy three-piece, complete with a classic white rose boutonnière. The bride chose a figure-hugging lace design that stole her heart, flowing into a tulle fishtail skirt for all-out romance and drama. Coupled with her loose curls and blousy, ribbon-tied bouquet, Emily looked every bit the fairy-tale bride.

The courtyard ceremony

The couple tied the knot in the courtyard at Minthis Hills. Picture honey stone walls, dramatic arching doorways and richly toned wood that tells stories spread over hundreds of years. It was totally romantic, dressed with flowers and foliage sweeping around the arch and candles and blooms cascading down the steps. Proof that a Cyprus micro wedding does not mean less of the beauty or the romance.

Planting a tree

After the ceremony, Emily and Chris stole away for a moment just for the two of them. In keeping with tradition at Minthis Hills, they headed out into the picturesque grounds to plant a tree, adding to the forest of love that has been growing there for years.

Couple's portraits

Emily and Chris were incredibly relaxed in front of the camera and soaking up the natural backdrops around them. They laughed, danced, kissed and dipped. You will be surprised how soon you forget we are there as you immerse yourselves in the emotion of your wedding day.

Inside the reception

Back to the luxury of Minthis Hills, where the beautifully glazed, double-height space offers an irresistibly modern location for the party. The couple enjoyed a grand entrance down the stairs and cut their beautiful two-tier cake, before dinner and dancing into the night.

Sunset on the hill

We could not resist the opportunity to capture this epic couple as the sun set, and Emily and Chris were game. From the top of the hill, with gorgeous glowing views for miles around, they twirled, talked, held each other close, cheered, kissed and danced. The happiness just oozes out of these photos.
