Alice and George's Cyprus Wedding Photography | St John's Cathedral | Hilton | Nicosia | Cyprus

So my last gig as a destination wedding photographer was flying over to the island of love - sunny Cyprus itself! After chatting with me over a couple of zoom calls, Alice and George decided they wanted a natural wedding photographer for their Cyprus Wedding; one who could blend into the background and get those all important candid shots of the day as it unfolded.

Alice and George grew up in Nicosia and decided to tie the knot at the popular St John’s Cathedral in the heart of the Old Town.

St. John's Cathedral, also known as Agios Ioannis Cathedral, is a historic Greek Orthodox cathedral. It was was built in the 17th century during the Venetian period and is considered one of the finest examples of Byzantine architecture in Cyprus. The cathedral is named after St. John the Theologian, who is the patron saint of the city of Nicosia. It is a large, imposing building with a distinctive dome and two bell towers. The exterior is decorated with intricate carvings and frescoes, while the interior is adorned with beautiful mosaics, frescoes, and icons. One of the most striking features of the cathedral is its wooden iconostasis, which was carved by local craftsmen in the 18th century. It is considered one of the finest examples of Cypriot woodcarving and is adorned with intricate carvings of biblical scenes and saints. Over the centuries, St. John's Cathedral has undergone several renovations and restorations, the most recent of which was completed in the early 2000s. Today, it remains an important religious and cultural landmark in Nicosia. Popular for wedding couples and attracts visitors from around the world.

Their wedding day began with the traditional Groom and Bridal preparations. Here are some of my favourite shots of the Stolisma at both sets of parents houses..

Andrea and Constantinos' Cyprus Wedding Photography | Deftera | Royal Hall, Nicosia

What a lovely couple these two were - and what a great start to 2020! Andrea and Constantinos were full of so much love and warmth for each other, and from the very first moment I turned up to start shooting this was so obvious. Many, many people turned up to both the couples’ allamata - their baby daughter looking gorgeous and their many friends and family. After two very fun and lively preparations, the couple met at the church of Ayios Georgios in Deftera, just outside Nicosia. After a cocktail party joined by literally hundreds of their friends, they partied on well into the night at fashionable city venue Royal Hall in the Old Town. Big thanks to the wonderful TimeFrame Productions who as always are a joy to work with. Here are some highlights from the day.

Theano and Andreas | Aes Ambelis Wedding Photography | Christine Constantine Photography

Theano and Andreas are a popular young couple from Nicosia. They approached me some time before the wedding to be their wedding photographer and I got on well with them and understood what they wanted from their photographer from the start. After an intimate and beautiful hilltop wedding ceremony they partied the night away at the stunning Aes Ambelis Winery.

The winery was founded in 1992, and has since produced wines of unique character and premium quality. Aes Ambelis is located on the slopes of Kalo Chorio Orinis in the Nicosia district, 28 km southwest of the capital. The winery is on two-levels and includes modern winemaking facilities, an underground cellar for barrel and bottle aging, as well as a tasting and reception hall. The wedding receptions I’ve photographed have always been in the summer and outside on the large terrace - overlooking the hills of that region.
