Can we have our ceremony on the beach or at our villa?

Yes. A symbolic ceremony or blessing can be held anywhere you like — a beach, a garden, a clifftop, a private villa or a vineyard — because it isn't tied to the legal paperwork. If you want your actual legal wedding outdoors, many licensed venues can host the civil ceremony too; your planner will confirm what's possible at your chosen spot. Either way, Cyprus's beaches and landscapes make a breathtaking backdrop.

When is the best time of year to get married in Cyprus?

The most popular months are May–June and September–October, when temperatures sit around a comfortable 20–26°C and the light is soft and golden — ideal for photography. July and August are the hottest (often 32°C and above), so we recommend later-afternoon and sunset ceremonies in high summer. The shoulder seasons give the best light, while winter is the cheapest and quietest time to marry in Cyprus if you want an intimate, low-cost celebration.

How soon will we get our wedding photos?

Your full, hand-edited gallery is delivered in approximately 6–10 weeks. Every image is individually edited in our signature documentary style — we never cut corners on the part that lasts a lifetime.

How long do we have to be in Cyprus before the wedding?

There's no residency period, but you both need to apply in person at the town hall before the wedding. With ordinary notice you can marry at least 15 clear days after applying; a special licence costs more but lets you marry sooner — sometimes the very next working day. Most couples arrive about three working days early so there's time to sort out any paperwork. Our wedding FAQs explain the documents and fees in full.

Almyra Hotel Wedding Photography, Paphos

The Almyra is one of the most stylish contemporary wedding venues in Paphos, a short stroll from the harbour and right on the seafront — and it is a favourite of ours for UK couples who want a relaxed, design-led day by the water. With four pools, sleek gardens and a rooftop ceremony terrace looking out over the Mediterranean, it offers the kind of clean, modern backdrops that photograph beautifully from the first light of the morning to the last dance. As award-winning Paphos wedding photographers, Nick and Aimie have spent fifteen years documenting weddings along this coastline, and the Almyra remains one of the easiest venues to fall in love with. If you are still weighing up where to say your vows, our guide to getting married in Paphos is a good place to start.

About the venue

The Almyra is a modern wedding venue on the coast of Paphos, not far from the harbour. It has four amazing pools to choose from, set in elegant gardens with views over the sparkling azure blue sea.

The ceremony venue can be on a terrace on top of the hotel overlooking the sea, which creates a magical ambience. It is a private, exclusive venue, and the team is highly dedicated to making your wedding day the most special day of your lives. The food in the restaurants is delicious.

A full gym

Our approach to Cyprus wedding photography

At Beziique, we believe that great Cyprus wedding photography goes far beyond technical skill. It is about creating unforgettable experiences and timeless, beautiful pieces of art that capture every moment of your special day.

Our style is documentary and emotional — we follow the day as it unfolds, catching the quiet glances, the laughter and the unguarded moments rather than staging them. At a venue like the Almyra, that means moving easily from the calm of the morning preparations to the rooftop ceremony, then out into the gardens and around the pools for couple portraits as the light softens towards sunset. You can see how that approach translates across different venues in our wedding portfolio, and Aimie, who is also a wedding singer, brings a particular sensitivity to the music and emotion of the day.

If you are comparing seafront hotels in the area, it is worth looking at the nearby Coral Beach Hotel too, which offers a different but equally beautiful coastal setting just outside the town, or the cliff-top Elysium in Paphos for something a little grander. Whichever you choose, we are happy to talk through how each venue shapes the flow of the photography.
