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 far is Cyprus to fly from the UK?

Cyprus is roughly a 4.5-hour direct flight from the UK, with regular services into both Paphos (PFO) and Larnaca (LCA) airports. That short-haul distance is one of the reasons Cyprus is so popular for UK destination weddings — it's easy for guests of all ages to join you, with no long-haul jet lag.

Nissi Beach Resort Wedding Photography

Nissi Beach Resort sits on one of the most photographed stretches of coast in Cyprus — the white sand and turquoise water of Nissi Bay in Ayia Napa — which is exactly why so many UK couples choose it for a relaxed, sun-and-sea destination wedding. As Cyprus and Ibiza wedding photographers with 15+ years and more than 1,000 weddings behind us, we know this beach in every light, and we love what it gives a barefoot celebration. If you're planning your day here, browse our recent work in the portfolio and read on for how we photograph weddings at this resort.

About the venue

Nissi Beach Resort sits on one of the most photographed stretches of coast in Cyprus — the white sand and turquoise water of Nissi Bay in Ayia Napa. The resort wraps around the beach itself, with ceremony spots ranging from a wooden jetty over the water to gardens and a clifftop deck.

It's a full-service resort, so the practical side of the day is straightforward: rooms for the wedding party, on-site catering and a beach bar that quietly turns into the after-party. The big draw is the location — that water turns up in every wide shot. If you're budgeting the wider celebration, our Cyprus wedding cost guide breaks down what to expect, and our best time to get married in Cyprus guide helps you pick the season that suits a barefoot beach day.

Why we love Nissi Beach Resort

The light here is unlike anywhere else we shoot in Cyprus. Late afternoon, the sand goes white-gold and the bay glows. For couples who want a barefoot, sun-and-sea wedding without the logistics of a destination beach setup, Nissi is the easy answer.

We've worked here with Naomi & Dale and Sarah & Martin and both weddings felt like the venue did half the work for us.

If you're still weighing up where in Cyprus to marry, our guide to getting married in Ayia Napa sets the wider scene, and Nissi sits comfortably among our favourite Cyprus beach wedding venues. If you're comparing resorts nearby, take a look at Adams Beach Hotel and Olympic Lagoon Resort, both within easy reach of the same coastline. As an Ayia Napa wedding photographer, we cover the whole resort area, so a Nissi ceremony pairs easily with photos along the wider coastline.

Our approach to Cyprus wedding photography

At Beziique we believe 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 day.

Our style is documentary and emotional — we follow the day as it unfolds rather than staging it, then borrow a few quiet minutes at golden hour for the portraits that make the most of Nissi's water and white sand. It's an approach honed over more than a decade and recognised with multiple awards. If you'd like to see how it translates to other coastal celebrations, our beach weddings in Cyprus collection is a good place to start.
