There are some weddings that stay with you forever, and this intimate destination wedding of Neil & Sharon in Cyprus was one of them.
As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing love stories in incredible places, but there was something truly special about this day. Travelling to Cyprus to document the celebration of two souls deeply in love, surrounded by their closest friends and family, was nothing short of magical.
From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this wasn’t just a wedding, it was an experience crafted with heart. Every detail, from the handwritten vows to the cosy dinner that would have fed an army a hundred times over, reflected the couple’s journey and their deep connection to the people around them.
Their decision to have an intimate destination wedding in Cyprus meant that every guest was there because they truly mattered. There was so much love in the air, and I felt genuinely honoured to be invited into that circle, not just as their photographer—but as someone trusted to preserve these memories forever.
The Beauty of Cyprus as a Backdrop
Cyprus is an absolute gem for weddings. The soft Mediterranean light, the serene coastline, everything about it adds warmth and beauty to the day. And even better, an open top bus, blasting tunes and serving drinks, everyone was in high spirits!
The couple shared their first look on a sun-dappled terrace overlooking the sea. It was peaceful, heartfelt, and uniquely them. I don’t think any of us will forget the way the light wrapped around them, or the way they held each other like there was no one else in the world.
As a photographer, my goal is always to tell a story, not just through posed portraits, but through the real, unscripted moments: the laugh shared during a toast, the tear that slips down a cheek during vows, the quiet joy of holding hands when no one is watching.
This couple’s story was so personal and honest. They were playful, deeply connected, and entirely present with their loved ones. Capturing that intimacy was a joy.
Why Intimate Weddings Like This Are So Powerful
There’s something incredibly powerful about intimate weddings, especially in a place as meaningful and beautiful as Cyprus. Without the pressure of a huge guest list or formalities, the couple had the freedom to be themselves, to slow down, and to savour each moment together.
For me, being able to document those honest, unguarded moments is what makes this work so fulfilling. These are the images that will carry them back to that day, years from now, and remind them of exactly how it felt.
Final Thoughts
Travelling to Cyprus for this wedding wasn’t just a job, it was an experience I’ll always carry with me. I’m so grateful to Neil & Sharon for trusting me with their story, and I hope the images we created together serve as a timeless reminder of the love they celebrated that day.
If you’re planning an intimate destination wedding in Cyprus and looking for a photographer who values connection, emotion, and storytelling I’d be honoured to capture your day, too.
