A look at recent weddings, engagements and stories from our travels as destination wedding photographers in Cyprus, Ibiza and further afield.
Olivia & Ashley's Seafront Wedding at Alassos, Cyprus
There's a stretch of coastline on Paphos's Coral Bay road where the land simply stops at the water's edge. Alassos is built right on that seafront, and it's exactly where Olivia and Ashley chose to marry: a 4pm ceremony with the Mediterranean as a backdrop, and a night that ran under fairy lights until well past midnight.

Poppy & Andrew's Elegant Wedding at Anassa, Cyprus
Some couples come to Anassa for the view. Poppy and Andrew came for the view — and the roots. Andrew is Greek Cypriot, and their September wedding wove his heritage through every part of the day, from a red-ribbon blessing at dawn to a live Cypriot band that didn't let the dancefloor empty until long past midnight. As Cyprus wedding photographers based in Paphos, Anassa is about as good as it gets for us — the jewel in the crown of the island's luxury wedding venues — and set against its whitewashed terraces and the wild Akamas coastline behind them, this was one of our favourite days there yet.

Vasilias Nikoklis Inn — Venue Review, Cyprus Wedding Photography
Vasilias Nikoklis Inn is one of the venues we get asked about most, so we wanted to write a proper review of it rather than another brochure page — what a wedding actually looks and feels like here, seen through the lens of the photographers who turn up at seven in the morning and stay until the last dance. We already have a full venue guide to Vasilias Nikoklis Inn with the practical details; this is the honest version, written after enough weddings here to know its best light, its quirks, and the corners most couples never think to ask about.

Ian and Jade's Glamorous Gold Hedsor House Wedding

Getting Married at Liopetro: A Planning Guide
Marrying at Liopetro is straightforward once you know the shape of the day — where the paperwork happens, when the light is best, and how the schedule usually flows from morning prep to the last dance. This is the practical side of planning a wedding here, from two photographers who've walked that timeline more than 400 times.

Liopetro Wedding Photographer in Kouklia, Cyprus
Liopetro sits in Kouklia, in the Paphos district — the same hillside village Nick and Aimie call home, where we've spent 14 years living and working as a Paphos wedding photographer, shooting weddings across the rest of Cyprus too. It's the venue we return to most: a private estate of old stone and wood, circular sea-view terraces and gardens thick with bougainvillea, and the backdrop to more than 400 of the weddings we've had the honour of photographing.

5 Tips to Calm Your Nerves Before Making a Wedding Speech
As an Ibiza wedding photographer who's stood behind the camera for more speeches than we can count — nervous best men, brides who steal the mic, fathers who can't get through the first line without their voice cracking — this is the advice we actually give the couples we photograph here: five tried-and-tested ways to calm your nerves before you stand up to speak.

Katie & Paul — Minthis Hills, Cyprus
Katie and Paul had their Cyprus wedding at the Minthis Hills Resort in Paphos, set across acres of private gardens and open spaces, with sweeping vistas across the rolling hills and greens of one of Cyprus's premier golf courses. It is a venue we know well as Paphos wedding photographers.

Lauren & Anthony — Engagement Shoot, Virginia Water
Is there anything more romantic than a hand-in-hand walk in the woods with the one you love on an early autumnal morning? Kicking up the golden leaves that crunch underfoot, with a sense of mystery in the air all around you. It is a very magical time of year with amazing light early in the day. Lauren and Anthony chose to have their engagement shoot with us at Virginia Water in Surrey, part of the Windsor Great Park complex.

Hiring an Ibiza Wedding DJ — What Should You Consider?
Ibiza has been the world's most famous island for music since long before it became known for weddings, so when it comes to entertainment, the bar here is set higher than almost anywhere else on earth. We asked Paul Linney of Spectrum Disco — an Ibiza wedding DJ we trust completely — to put together honest, practical advice for choosing entertainment for your day on the island.

Joanna & Andrew — Urban Engagement Shoot, Paphos
The gorgeous island of Cyprus is not all about its beaches and seafronts — there is so much more to this island in the sun. Sometimes it is fun to go urban.

5 Essential Insights for UK Brides Dreaming of a Cyprus Wedding
Have you ever pictured saying "I do" against a backdrop of azure sea and warm Mediterranean light, with your closest people gathered around you and not a grey British sky in sight? You are far from alone. Every year more UK brides swap a damp marquee at home for a sun-soaked celebration in Cyprus — and almost all of them tell us afterwards that it was easier, cheaper and more magical than they ever expected.

Donna & Byron — Vasilias Nikoklis Inn, Paphos
The Vasilias Nikoklis Inn near Paphos is one of our favourite venues as a Paphos wedding photographer, and one of our favourite locations to photograph destination weddings in Cyprus. It is pretty, intimate and very traditional, with rustic stone walls and pretty gardens — the perfect venue for a romantic wedding.

How to Book Your Destination Wedding in Cyprus
Booking a destination wedding in Cyprus sounds daunting from the sofa in the UK, but it follows a clear, sensible order — and once you know the steps, it all falls into place. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings on the island, Nick and Aimie have watched hundreds of couples go from "where do we even start?" to a signed venue contract and a date in the diary, usually in the space of a few weeks. This guide walks you through the practical sequence: decide how much help you want, secure your venue and date, understand deposits and contracts, and lock in the suppliers who book up fastest — your photographer chief among them.

Alex & Anthony — Vasilias Wedding Photographer, Cyprus
Alex and Anthony were the last couple to marry in our Cyprus destination wedding season of 2016. They got married at the very beautiful Vasilias Nikoklis Inn, which nestles in the sweeping valley of Diarizos, where goats are still herded and are sometimes the only traffic jams in the area. It feels like time itself has held back the hands of the clock when you arrive at this venue.

March Around Edinburgh
After flying in the night before from Paphos, Cyprus, for our destination wedding at Mansfield Traquair, we woke up to the most glorious March spring day. Full sunshine and only a wisp of fluffy clouds in the perfect blue sky. There were puddles on the ground from previous rain, but we had the weather and a full day to explore. What a day to pick to see the fabulous city of Edinburgh in Scotland — it made the city shine.
Read →The A–Z of Planning a Wedding in Cyprus

After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings across the island, we've watched hundreds of couples go from "where do we even start?" to walking down the aisle without a worry in the world. The secret is simply tackling the planning in order, one piece at a time.

Getting Married in Cyprus: The Things to Know
After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings, we've sat with a lot of UK couples at the very start of their Cyprus journey — usually with the same handful of questions buzzing in their heads. Is it actually legal? How long do we have to be there? What paperwork do we need? Will it really save us money compared with marrying at home? This is our plain-English answer to all of it.

Travels — Santorini in June
We seriously love to travel. It is so exciting, and it takes Beziique Destination Wedding Photographers to so many new and exciting places the world over. We love going on an adventure for our couples' special days. This trip we teamed up with James and Ellie from Ground Films for a wedding on the island of Santorini, working as Santorini wedding photographers for the day.

Be Our Guest: Checking Into Ultra-Luxe Napa Suites
As a Cyprus wedding photographer, we spend a lot of time recommending places to stay around the island — for guests, for pre-wedding nights, for honeymoons that don't involve a long-haul flight. Napa Suites, tucked into the hills above Ayia Napa, is the one we've been recommending most since we stayed there ourselves, and we liked it enough to extend our booking twice.

Lauren & Nick — Can Curreu, Ibiza
Think of a perfect blue sky, not a single cloud in sight, and your spirits lift. That is an Ibiza sky. The sunlight on this island has a special warm glow — a light that can be used, with skill, by an Ibiza wedding photographer.

Eloping to Cyprus: The Complete Guide
A vision of sun-kissed weather, breath-taking white cliffs and shimmering, turquoise waters — the beauty of getting married in Cyprus on any scale needs no introduction. But more and more UK couples are skipping the guest list altogether and following their hearts instead. Eloping, once a thing of secret runaways, has become one of the most joyful ways to marry: just the two of you, no seating plan, no speeches, nobody to please but each other, somewhere extraordinary.

Maria & Gav — Galu Seaside, Cyprus
Think of that perfect mid-blue sky, not a single cloud in sight — that is a Cyprus sky. The Galu Seaside is a light, contemporary venue perfect for Cyprus wedding photography.

Getting Married in Cyprus: The Complete Guide for UK Couples
If you are a UK couple dreaming of marrying somewhere warm, beautiful and surprisingly straightforward, Cyprus is hard to beat. We are Nick and Aimie Wild — the husband-and-wife team behind Beziique — and over fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings we have photographed couples saying their vows on Paphos clifftops, in vine-shaded courtyards, on golden Protaras beaches and in candle-lit village tavernas across the island. Cyprus weddings have enough moving parts — legal routes, ceremony styles, regions, seasons, budgets — that we have written a dedicated, much deeper guide for each one, so think of this page as the map rather than the microscope: an honest lay of the land that hands you off to whichever page actually answers your question in full. We are photographers rather than lawyers or planners, so for anything legal we always point you towards your appointed Marriage Officer or a trusted local planner — but after standing beside so many couples through the whole journey, we can save you a great deal of worry about the bits that genuinely matter.

Marco & Anastassia — Liopetro, Cyprus
Once again we were welcomed back by Makis and Ifigenia to their beautiful venue in the village of Kouklia. This place is special to us as we live very close by and have become great friends with all the staff. A circular terrace overlooks the sea, which twinkles in the sunlight. Surrounding the venue are the ancient ruins of kings. A small chapel remains, and the wedding ceremony was held here in traditional style. This is a gorgeous venue for sure — and truly Cypriot.

How to Plan Your Cyprus Wedding: A Step-by-Step Guide
Planning a wedding in another country can feel daunting at first — the paperwork, the suppliers you have never met, the worry of organising it all from a kitchen table in the UK. The good news is that a Cyprus wedding is one of the most straightforward destination weddings a British couple can choose. The island has welcomed UK couples for decades, the legal process is well-trodden, and the people who work in weddings here do it beautifully, day in and day out. We are Nick and Aimie Wild of Beziique, and over fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings we have watched the same sequence play out hundreds of times — so this guide walks you through it in the order things actually happen, not the order a checklist might suggest.

How Much Does a Wedding in Cyprus Cost?
It's the question almost every UK couple asks first, usually before they've even settled on a venue or a date: how much is this actually going to cost? After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings photographed across Cyprus, we've sat with hundreds of couples as they pieced their budgets together — and the honest answer is that a Cyprus wedding can be done beautifully at almost any level, from an intimate elopement for two to a three-day celebration with a hundred guests by the sea.

Claire & Nuwan — Amalfi Cathedral & Hotel Santa Caterina, Italy
We have been so excited to share this wedding with you. This is the very first time we, as Beziique Destination Wedding Photographers, have ventured to Italy to shoot a wedding. Italy is a beautiful country and we felt honoured to be invited to shoot the wedding of Claire and Nuwan. We arrived a few days early to explore the area before the wedding — look out soon for a full blog on our travels to Rome too.

Ruby and Angelos — Cypriot Wedding, Nicosia
This is a traditional Cypriot wedding, photographed over two days in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Read →The Best Time to Get Married in Cyprus
Choosing when to marry in Cyprus is one of the first big decisions you'll make, and it shapes almost everything that follows — the temperature on the day, the quality of the light in your photographs, how much your venue and suppliers will cost, and whether your guests are dancing under warm evening skies or wrapped up against a winter breeze. The good news is that there's no truly bad time to marry on this island. Cyprus enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and we've photographed beautiful weddings in every single month. After fifteen years and well over a thousand weddings here, what we can offer you is something more useful than "it's always sunny": an honest, season-by-season picture of what each part of the year actually feels like.

Kaye and Matt — Minthis Hills, Cyprus
Minthis Hills has it all for Cyprus wedding photography. The venue sits on its own world-class golf course and grounds in a peaceful location near Paphos, combining traditional values and influences with the best in modern touches. As a Paphos wedding photographer, it's relaxing and refreshing — a place that makes your heart beat, and where we're getting married too.

Cyprus Wedding Photography: The Complete Guide
After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings across this island, we can tell you exactly why couples fall for Cyprus the moment they step off the plane — and why it photographs so beautifully. The light is generous, the landscapes shift from ochre cliffs to turquoise sea within a single drive, and there is a slow, golden quality to the evenings that makes people relax in front of a camera without even noticing. This guide is everything we wish every couple knew before they booked: the styles you can choose from, how the famous Cyprus light actually behaves through the day and across the seasons, what good photography really costs, and how to find a photographer whose work you'll still love in thirty years.

Cyprus Marriage Requirements for UK Couples
After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings photographed across the island, we've watched a great many couples worry about exactly one thing in the run-up to their Cyprus wedding: the paperwork. Will the documents be accepted? Have we left it too late, or arranged something too early? The reassuring truth is that Cyprus is one of the most straightforward countries in Europe for UK couples to marry in legally — far simpler than the bureaucracy many people imagine. This is the definitive, deep-dive page: precisely what UK couples need to marry legally in Cyprus, the documents you must bring, where apostilles and the affidavit of single status fit in, how residency and the notice period actually work, and what happens with witnesses and the ceremony itself. We've checked it carefully against current guidance, but we'd still always recommend confirming the live detail with your wedding planner or the local Marriage Officer before you travel, because small administrative points can and do shift — think of this as the map; they provide the up-to-the-minute road signs. For the wider picture beyond the paperwork, our guide to getting married in Cyprus for UK couples is the place to start.

Civil Weddings in Cyprus
A civil wedding in Cyprus is the route most UK couples take when they want a marriage that is properly legal — recognised the moment you say "I do", and recognised again the moment you land back home. It is one of the simplest legal weddings you can arrange anywhere in Europe: no residency requirement, a manageable stack of paperwork, a Marriage Officer, two witnesses, and a ceremony conducted in English. We are Nick and Aimie Wild, and as a Cyprus wedding photographer for over fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings, we have photographed civil ceremonies in town halls, in licensed hotel gardens, on terraces overlooking the sea and in the quiet registry rooms where it all becomes official. This page is about the experience itself — what actually happens on the day, who conducts it, and where it can take place — rather than the document list, which we've given its own dedicated page: Cyprus marriage requirements for UK couples.

Is a Cyprus Marriage Legal in the UK?
Short answer: yes. A civil marriage performed in Cyprus is automatically legal in the United Kingdom, from the moment you sign the register, with nothing further for you to do — no re-registration, no waiting period, no Home Office form. We're Nick and Aimie Wild, the husband-and-wife team behind Beziique, and after fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings photographed across Cyprus, this is the single question we're asked most, usually nervously, as if there might be a catch. As a Cyprus wedding photographer rather than a solicitor, nothing here is legal advice, but we know exactly where this worry comes from and how to put it to rest quickly.

Raya and Adhib — Thalassines Beach Villas, Cyprus
Thalassines is a gorgeous Cyprus wedding venue, and we were very lucky to be asked to photograph Raya and Adhib, not just for one wedding but for three over two days. On the first day, we captured their civil ceremony. On the second, their Bengali and Sudanese weddings and the traditional celebrations associated with both.
Read →Beach Weddings in Cyprus
There is a reason so many UK couples picture themselves barefoot on warm sand when they dream of marrying abroad. A beach wedding in Cyprus pairs the simplicity of saying your vows with the sea behind you against a Mediterranean climate that delivers, reliably, the kind of light and warmth that British summers only promise. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings photographed across the island, we have stood on most of these beaches at most times of day as a Cyprus wedding photographer — and we can tell you exactly which ones earn their reputation, how a beach ceremony actually runs, and why the planning matters as much as the place. This guide covers the practical questions first: whether your ceremony on the sand can be the legal one, which beaches and beachfront venues actually suit a wedding rather than just a holiday photo, and how to time the day so the light does the setting justice.

Church and Greek Orthodox Weddings in Cyprus
For many couples, a wedding without a church simply wouldn't feel like a wedding at all. There is something about exchanging your vows beneath an old stone arch, surrounded by candlelight and icons, with a priest's chant rising up into the dome, that no garden or beach can quite replicate. Cyprus, with its deep religious heritage and its hundreds of beautiful chapels and cathedrals, is one of the loveliest places in Europe to marry in a church — and as a Cyprus wedding photographer we have had the privilege of documenting faith-led weddings across the island for more than fifteen years. This guide is for UK couples who want a religious ceremony, or who are weighing up whether a church wedding is right for them: what's actually involved in a Greek Orthodox wedding, some of the most breathtaking historic churches to consider, and how a faith ceremony fits alongside the celebration, the paperwork and the day as a whole.

Kim and Craig — 4x4 Champagne Photo Shoot, Cyprus
At Beziique, Paphos wedding photographers, we don't just do wedding photography. We also do location shoots, trash the dress, underwater shoots and a champagne photo shoot in our 4x4 vehicle.
Read →Symbolic Ceremonies and Blessings in Cyprus
After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings across Cyprus, we can tell you that some of the most moving ceremonies we have ever photographed were not legally binding at all. They were symbolic ceremonies and blessings — the kind a couple builds entirely around their own words, in a place that means something to them, with nobody reading from an official script. If you have been told that a "symbolic ceremony" sounds like a lesser version of a real wedding, let us gently put that idea to rest — for a great many of the couples we work with as a Cyprus wedding photographer, it is the real wedding, emotionally, completely, in every way that matters on the day. This guide explains what a symbolic ceremony actually is, where you are allowed to hold one, how to write vows that don't make you cringe in ten years' time, and how to keep the legal paperwork simple by handling it separately.

Sarah and Joe — Chateau Rigaud, France
There cannot be many places on this planet as amazing and unique as Chateau Rigaud. Set in award-winning vineyards and stunning grounds, this venue is so romantic and beautifully set out. Beziique destination wedding photographers had the pleasure of shooting Sarah and Joe's amazing wedding day at this gorgeous venue, steeped in history and authentic charm.

Intimate and Micro Weddings in Cyprus
Some of the most moving weddings we have ever photographed had fewer than twenty people in the room. There is a particular kind of magic to a small day in Cyprus — the way a groom's hands shake a little more when there is no big crowd to hide behind, the way a mother's tears come freely because nobody is performing. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings across Cyprus and Ibiza, we can tell you honestly that scale and meaning are not the same thing: a micro wedding does not give you a smaller version of a wedding, it gives you a different, quieter, often deeper version of one. This guide is for UK couples drawn to marrying with just your closest people around you — a small but proper wedding, guests and all, not a two-person elopement (if it's just the pair of you you're picturing, our dedicated guide to eloping in Cyprus is the better read). We are Nick and Aimie Wild, and we photograph small days the way we photograph all of them as a Cyprus wedding photographer — documentary, unhurried, and led by what is really happening rather than what a shot list says should be.

Stephanie and Jack — Vasilias Nikoklis Inn, Cyprus
Love stories are made in sunny Cyprus — the home of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. We love being wedding photographers in Cyprus, and we love this little intimate venue too. Vasilias Nikoklis is full of history, love, warmth and family traditions — the perfect venue for a romantic bohemian wedding.

Vow Renewals in Cyprus
There is something quietly powerful about choosing each other again. A first wedding is full of nerves and logistics and a hundred faces to greet; a vow renewal is different. By the time you come to renew your vows you already know what the words mean, and saying "I still do" carries the weight of everything that has happened in between. Cyprus, with its warm light, slow evenings and unhurried sense of celebration, is one of the most beautiful places in the world to do exactly that. We are Nick and Aimie Wild, the husband-and-wife team behind Beziique, and across more than fifteen years and well over a thousand weddings we have photographed couples on every kind of day. Vow renewals are some of our favourites, because they are pure intention with none of the obligation — nobody renews their vows because they feel they ought to, they do it because they want to. This guide is written specifically for couples who are already married, not planning a first wedding, and walks through why Cyprus suits a renewal so well, how the day actually works, the settings worth considering, and how we photograph it so the feeling lasts long after the flight home.

Adam and Lisa had already married in Cyprus earlier but they wanted something a little more intimate, just for them together, to remember the wonderful time they had on this island. So they booked a trash-the-dress and sunset location shoot with Beziique destination wedding photographers.
Read →Same-Sex Weddings in Cyprus
Cyprus is one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean to marry, and for same-sex couples it offers something almost as valuable as its golden light and warm sea: a genuine, growing welcome from the people and businesses who run its wedding industry. This guide is written to be honest and specific about where things currently stand — legally and culturally — so you can plan with your eyes open, not with hope standing in for fact. We are Nick and Aimie Wild — the husband-and-wife team behind Beziique — and over fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings we have photographed couples of all kinds in exactly the same way: honestly, warmly, and with our eye always on the real emotion of the day. As a Cyprus wedding photographer rather than a lawyer, we have checked the legal detail below carefully against current sources, and we still recommend confirming your own situation with your wedding planner, the local Marriage Officer, or a solicitor before you book — this is exactly the kind of subject where the specifics matter and can change.

The Cyprus Wedding Season, Month by Month
After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings on the island, we've photographed Cyprus in every kind of light — the cool clarity of a February morning, the heat-shimmer of an August afternoon, the long honeyed glow of an October sunset. One of the first questions UK couples ask us is simply, "When should we get married?" The honest answer is that there's no single perfect month; there's only the month that suits the day you have in your head — whether that's barefoot on warm sand, surrounded by spring wildflowers, or wrapped up against a bright, quiet winter sky.

Jaclyn & Steven Moss — Almyra Hotel, Paphos
Over seven years ago Steven didn't show up to their first date, so Jaclyn went to a boxing match — and he turned up there the following night. He apologised, asked her on another date, and the rest is history.

The Best Light and Weather for Cyprus Wedding Photography
After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings photographed across Cyprus, we read this island's light the way a sailor reads the sea. Cyprus is one of the sunniest corners of Europe — comfortably over 300 days of sunshine a year — and that abundance is a gift you still have to know how to use: the same sun that gilds a terrace at six in the evening can flatten faces and force squinting at noon in July. Knowing how the light behaves, hour by hour and month by month, is the difference between photographs that document your day and photographs that feel like it.

Elina & Iain Dewale — Wotton House, Dorking
Elina and Iain met several years ago when Iain lived in North London. Elina was invited to a BBQ by a mutual friend and they were introduced. They didn't become a couple until approximately three years after that first meeting, and were together for almost four years before Iain proposed.

Maryellen + Ben — Laura Beach Hotel, Cyprus
Maryellen knew what she wanted and chased Ben for a good five years before he gave in. They actually knew each other for a couple of years before starting to date in 1998, so by the time they got married they had been "courting" for 19 years with three beautiful kids.

Spring Weddings in Cyprus
There's a short window each year when Cyprus is at its most generous, and we think spring is it. Between March and June the island shrugs off its mild, wet winter and turns properly green — hillsides carpeted in wildflowers early in the season, the air warm without the heavy heat of high summer, and the evenings stretching longer by the week. For UK couples leaving behind a grey, unpredictable spring at home, stepping off the plane into this is a small revelation. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings across Cyprus and Ibiza, we keep coming back to spring as one of the loveliest seasons to marry here.

Fleur + Kazem — Vasilias Nikoklis Inn, Nikokleia
Fleur and Kazem met in 2004 doing street fundraising and had a cheeky snog on a drunken night, but lost touch and didn't go on their first date until 2012. After that it was plain sailing. They had been together five years when they got married.
Read →
Summer Weddings in Cyprus
There's a reason so many UK couples picture summer when they imagine getting married in Cyprus. The island spends June, July and August bathed in long, dependable sunshine — blue skies you can actually plan around, warm seas that stay swimmable late into the evening, and that golden Mediterranean glow that makes everyone look like the best version of themselves. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings photographed across Cyprus, we can tell you that summer here is generous in a way that British summers rarely manage to be: there's no nervous watching of the forecast, no marquee-versus-rain debate, just the near-certainty of a beautiful, warm day.

Autumn Weddings in Cyprus
If you're choosing when to marry in Cyprus, autumn is the season we quietly hope couples will pick. September and October hold on to all the warmth of the Cypriot summer — the sea is still bath-warm, the days are long and bright, the bougainvillea is still in flower — but the fierce midday heat has softened, the school-holiday rush has gone home, and the island settles into a slower, golden rhythm. For UK couples, it's one of the most forgiving and rewarding windows in the whole calendar, and after photographing more than a thousand weddings across the island over fifteen years, it's the time of year we most look forward to working in.

Winter Weddings in Cyprus
Most couples picture a Cyprus wedding in the height of summer — blazing sun, packed beaches and a long line of celebrations stretching across the island. But some of the most beautiful, relaxed and genuinely personal weddings we've ever photographed happened between November and March, when the crowds have gone home and Cyprus quietly becomes one of the mildest corners of Europe. After fifteen years and well over a thousand weddings here, we can tell you that a winter wedding in Cyprus is far from a compromise. For the right couple, it's the best decision they make.

Fiona & Paul's Rustic Vasilias Nikoklis Inn Wedding in Cyprus
Not many couples can call themselves teenage sweethearts, but for Fiona and Paul that is how it all began. "We met at school 15 years ago and have been together ever since," smiles Fiona. "Paul proposed four years ago on a candlelit beach in Mexico. It was very romantic."
Read →Cyprus Wedding Cost Breakdown
When you first start adding up the cost of a wedding abroad, the figure can feel impossible to pin down. Quotes arrive in euros, packages bundle very different things under the same name, and it is genuinely hard to compare one venue against the next. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings on the island, we have stood in the background of almost every kind of Cyprus celebration there is — the two-of-you elopements on a clifftop, the relaxed villa parties for thirty, the full hotel weddings for a hundred and twenty. This guide breaks the day down line by line, so you can see roughly where every euro goes.

Groom Kenton had planned the perfect proposal for Hassiba in Thailand — or so he thought. He organised a romantic dinner for two on a sandbar in the sea. After being seated at the table for a short time, thunder and lightning arrived, causing Kenton to temporarily abandon his plans.

Stephanie & Jamie's Opulent Greek Landmark Hotel London Wedding
Having flown to the tropical shores of Thailand, groom Jamie knew it was the perfect time to propose. "Jamie arranged a three-course dinner on the beach for us," Stephanie reminisces. "It was so romantic."
Read →How Much Does a Cyprus Wedding Photographer Cost?
If you are planning a wedding in Cyprus from the UK, the price of photography is one of the first questions you will ask — and one of the hardest to pin down, because quotes vary so widely. You will see a few hundred pounds advertised at one end and several thousand at the other, often for what looks, on paper, like the same thing. This guide explains what sits behind those numbers: what genuinely drives a Cyprus wedding photographer's price, what should be included in a proper package, and why the difference between a cheap quote and a considered one is almost always the difference between a record of your day and a keepsake you will treasure for the rest of your lives.

Amie & Graeme's Floral Mountain Wedding in Cyprus
"I received a surprise Christmas gift to New York. We flew out there between Christmas and New Year and Graeme proposed under the huge Christmas tree outside the Rockefeller Centre," grins Amie. "He's always known I love Christmas trees and this one was the biggest around. He proposed with a Haribo ring and we went shopping in New York, where I chose my diamond and had it made into a ring."

All-Inclusive Cyprus Wedding Packages Explained
If you have started looking into getting married in Cyprus, you will have come across the phrase "all-inclusive wedding package" within about five minutes. Hotels, resorts and planners all advertise them, and on the surface they sound wonderfully simple: one price, one phone call, the whole day taken care of while you sit back and enjoy the sunshine. For a lot of UK couples that is exactly the appeal — you are planning from a few thousand miles away, and the idea of someone else joining the dots is enormously reassuring.

Read →Budget Cyprus Weddings: How to Have a Beautiful Day for Less
A budget Cyprus wedding does not have to feel like a compromise. Some of the most moving days we have photographed in fifteen years and over a thousand weddings have been the smallest and the simplest — a handful of people on a clifftop at sunset, a long table under olive trees, vows exchanged barefoot on warm sand. The island does a great deal of the heavy lifting for you: the light, the sea, the relaxed Mediterranean pace. What follows is an honest guide to spending less without ending up with less, written from the supplier side of the table so you can see where the real savings live and where it genuinely pays to hold your nerve.

Getting Married in Paphos
Of all the places UK couples choose for a Cyprus wedding, Paphos is the one we keep coming back to. It sits on the south-west coast of the island, where the mountains tip down towards the sea, and it carries a particular kind of romance — this is the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, after all, with the foam still breaking over the rocks at Petra tou Romiou just down the coast. For couples it offers a rare combination: a working harbour and old town with real character, a string of beautiful beaches and clifftops, hill villages full of stone and bougainvillea, and an airport (PFO) that you can reach in around four and a half hours from most of the UK. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings photographed across the island, we know this corner of Cyprus intimately, and we'd be glad to share what we've learned.

Laid-back luxury for couples on the beach — that is the vibe that pours through La Escollera Ibiza, and we were stoked when Antonia and Birger chose this seafront setting for their pre-wedding party. Backed by woodland and with dramatic desertscapes, architectural palms and a shoreline that screams boho in your photos, La Escollera Ibiza is a dream venue for Ibiza and Cyprus wedding photographers like us.

Getting Married in Limassol
Of all the places to marry in Cyprus, Limassol is the one that feels most like a proper city break wrapped around a wedding. It is the island's most cosmopolitan town — a long sweep of seafront promenade, a restored old port, marina restaurants, rooftop bars and a genuine after-dark buzz — set against the green foothills of the Troodos mountains just twenty minutes inland. For UK couples who want a destination wedding with plenty for guests to do, polished five-star hotels on the beach, and the option of a vineyard celebration with a view, Limassol is hard to beat.

Antonia & Birger's Ultra-Romantic Atzaro Ibiza Wedding
This venue is the ultimate party space, with the most breath-taking pergola at the end of a water feature that Antonia and Birger smothered with blooms.

Aiko & Erez's Paphos Sea Caves Elopement
Only a few weeks ago, we were high on the bright white clifftops of the Paphos Sea Caves with this gorgeous couple. Aiko and Erez let their hearts run free with a dream intimate wedding, and we had the best time capturing it all as their Cyprus elopement photographer. The sea caves are one of our most-loved elopement spots as wedding photographers in Paphos.

Getting Married in Ayia Napa
Ayia Napa sits on the south-eastern tip of Cyprus, where the Mediterranean turns an almost impossible shade of turquoise and the coastline folds into a string of soft, sheltered sand bays. For UK couples it has long been shorthand for sunshine and good times, and that reputation is well earned — but there is far more to a wedding here than the bars and the nightlife the resort is famous for. Marry in Ayia Napa and you get blue-flag beaches a few minutes from your hotel door, large resorts geared up for hosting big celebrations, and a genuinely festive, holiday atmosphere that puts every one of your guests instantly at ease.

"We were on holiday in Paphos, sitting watching the sunset with a carafe of sangria when Jack popped the question. It was simply stunning and we knew we had to get married in Cyprus," Ellie gushes.
Read →Getting Married in Larnaca
Larnaca is, for many UK couples, the most practical place in Cyprus to get married — and quietly one of the most charming. It is the town you land in: Larnaca (LCA) airport sits right on the edge of the city, so within twenty minutes of stepping off the plane your guests can have their feet up by the sea. That ease shapes everything that follows. Less time in transfers means more time together, a gentler arrival for older relatives and little ones, and a wedding week that starts relaxed rather than frazzled.

Lauren & Josh's Whimsical White Escape to the Chateau Wedding
A chateau is essentially a castle, but in true French romantic style they are ornate and refined and every bit suited to couples today. So when we arrived at Chateau de la Basmaignee for Lauren and Josh's wedding, we knew we were in for a treat. The grounds were totally enchanting — sun-dappled woodland, meandering pathways and the most evocative old stone walls. Gwendoline has created something super special here.

Love, Laughter & Happily Ever After — Beziique's Best of 2019
2018 was a pretty epic year for us — and it brought our first international photography award. Then came 2019 — a year of high energy, high romance, high style celebrations that took us to all-new heights as one of the best Cyprus wedding photographer duos, as well as some super cool new destinations too.
Read →Getting Married in Protaras
Protaras sits on the south-eastern tip of Cyprus, where the island folds into a string of small turquoise bays and the headland of Cape Greco drops away into some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. For UK couples, it is one of the most relaxed and genuinely beautiful places on the island to marry — close enough to Larnaca airport for guests to land and be at the beach within the hour, yet far enough from the bustle of Ayia Napa to feel like a proper retreat. Over fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings, we have watched couples fall for Protaras precisely because it does not try too hard: the sea, the light and the warmth of the people do most of the work.
Read →Carly & Jack's Modern & Romantic Anassa Hotel Wedding
September weddings can be some of the best in Cyprus. Blue skies are guaranteed, warm temperatures promise a great experience for your guests, but the intensity of the high summer heat is starting to fade. Sunsets arrive a little earlier, making for breath-taking golden hour photos. And as night falls, the party lights up — we capture it all as your Paphos wedding photographer at the Anassa Hotel.
Read →The Best Beach Wedding Venues in Cyprus
There is a particular kind of magic in marrying with the Mediterranean at your back. The sound of the surf carries under the vows, the light turns to honey as the sun drops toward the water, and there is no need for elaborate styling when the sea is doing all the work. For UK couples dreaming of bare feet on warm sand rather than a marquee in a soggy field, Cyprus is one of the most reliable, beautiful and easy places in Europe to make that dream real.
Read →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.

Small and Intimate Wedding Venues in Cyprus
There is a particular magic to a small wedding in Cyprus. When the guest list shrinks to the people who truly matter — parents, a handful of best friends, the children — the day stops being a production and becomes a gathering. Conversations last longer, the toasts are funnier and more honest, and there is time simply to sit under a fig tree with a glass of wine and let it all sink in. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings across the island, we have come to believe that the most moving days we photograph are often the smallest ones.

Our Favourite Ibiza Wedding Venues to Photograph

Read →Luxury Wedding Venues in Cyprus
Cyprus has quietly become one of the Mediterranean's most rewarding places for a luxury destination wedding — and for UK couples it offers something rare: genuine five-star surroundings, exceptional service and dramatic light, all roughly four and a half hours from home. Over fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings, we have photographed across the island's finest venues, from cliff-edge five-star resorts on the Akamas to private estates folded into the hills above Paphos, where we live and work as Paphos wedding photographers. What follows is our honest, on-the-ground guide to where luxury in Cyprus actually lives — not a list of the most expensive names, but the places that consistently deliver the calibre of day our couples remember for the rest of their lives.

Luke & Abi's Hidden Bar Wedding in Ibiza
Abi and Luke had such a wonderful destination wedding day full of colour, life, love and so much laughter at the Hidden Bar on the Balearic island of Ibiza. The venue was an amazing place tucked away among shady green olive trees, azure blue skies and a view out to the sparkling sea in the distance.
Read →Cyprus Wedding Guest Information and Travel
One of the loveliest things about marrying in Cyprus is that your nearest and dearest get a proper holiday out of it — not just a Saturday afternoon and a long drive home. But a destination wedding does ask a little more of your guests than a wedding down the road, and the kindest thing you can do is take the guesswork out of it for them. After fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings on the island, we have watched countless UK families arrive bleary-eyed at Paphos arrivals and leave a week later wishing they could stay. The difference between a smooth trip and a stressful one almost always comes down to the information they were given in advance.

Jana & Alex's Pre-Wedding Engagement Shoot, UK
Jana and Alex booked us for their pre-wedding engagement shoot over in the UK, to be shot at one of their very favourite places: Dinton Pastures Country Park near Reading in Berkshire. It is a true haven for wildlife and people alike, and holds a special place in this couple's hearts, so we were very happy to create some beautiful images and memories for them here.
Read →How to Choose Your Cyprus Wedding Photographer
When the flowers have wilted, the cake has been eaten and the last guest has flown home, your photographs are what remain. Choosing the right photographer is one of the few wedding decisions you genuinely cannot redo — and when you're marrying abroad, on an island you may only have visited once, the stakes feel higher still. You're trusting someone you've often never met in person to hold the most important day of your life, in a place you don't know, in light you can't predict.
