Emelia’s Christening was a wonderful day full of so much smiles, warmth and love! We started the day with the baptism which took place at the ancient Archangelos Michael Church in Nicosia, followed by a lunch at the stunning Patio in the Old Town. I loved the decorations and the absolutely gorgeous Christening cake, lovingly baked and decorated by well known local talent Michalis Kalopesas.
Miri and Alon were keen to have a much more natural approach to their wedding day, photography that didn’t interfere with the day’s events and were there to tell the story of the day as it unfolded. It was a beautiful day from start to finish, with the ceremony and the party being held at the popular beachside venue Galu on the shores of Larnaca. It was a day filled with so much love and joy. A simple exchange of vows and proclamation of love paying respect to their Jewish faith, and in the company of their closest friends and family, it truly was an honour to be part of this very special day.

Natassa and Leonidas are a fun-loving and very popular couple and it was a total joy to shoot their wedding day. It was simply fabulous from start to finish. Natassa looked absolutely radiant, while eliciting a feeling of cool vintage glamour. Leo's style complemented Natassa's perfectly and the couple looked truly meant to be together.
