Richard + Sarah

“Forever is not about time but a state of mind where love resides.”

It was truly delightful to capture the vibrance of this couple on film. Despite the initial overcast forecast, the day brightened up beautifully, enhancing the stunning backdrop of Minthis Monastery.

As Richard waited in the rain posed in the rain for dramatic effect, we were all worried that the beautifully planned ceremony in the courtyard of the monastery would have to be held indoor. Thankfully the sky’s opened and light gave us a vibrant scenery for some truly touching vows.

Sarah was full of laughter, infecting everyone around her with her unlimited joy. Not a moment went by without us feeling excited and thankful to have been present for their special day! Watch their film trailer below.

Out of the ordinary

Christina + Michael

Actually out of the ordinary for a Cypriot couple to decide to tie the knot by exchanging vows between them instead with God and religion, forgoing tradition to join heir souls in the way they see fit . Uncommon, quirky call it what you want, whats important is their bond and love, something we had the pleasure of witnessing and capturing.

Michael and Christina had a quiet, contemplative morning without any big gatherings or traditional music, choosing to get ready with their best friends and family. Emotional, laid-back, and beautiful. Michael chose a smart dark blue suit with a dark mauve bowtie, while Christina wore a one-piece velvet white dress and a long veil.

In the dense but small forest of the mountainous part of Limassol, and with the advice of their photographer, our couple decided to glance at each other before anyone arrived for the ceremony. It was heartfelt, emotional, and happy; all positive emotions tumbled in one. A single tear of joy fell from Christina's eye as Michael's face literally lit up as soon as he saw his future wife.

As people started to arrive, the atmosphere became electric with anticipation. Everyone was waiting to see the beautiful bride walk down the aisle, and what a scene it was. Laughs and gasps of joy turned into clapping. Michael, even though he had already seen his future wife, once again clutched his emotions to welcome Christina for the exchange of their vows.

An amazing and refreshingly short ceremony under the trees during sunset planned to perfection.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the gathered friends and family. The air was filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a beautiful journey ahead.

Surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of their loved ones. And so, in that magical moment, amidst the echoes of applause and joy, Michael and Christina stepped into the beginning of their happily ever after, forever bound by the love that had lit up their faces in the quiet forest of Limassol.

madly, deeply taken by you

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived two adventurous souls named Katia and Anton. They were the type of couple who believed in following their hearts and letting their love guide them on their travels.

One fateful day, as they were exploring a distant island known for its beauty and romance, they knew in that very moment that they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. And so, with the island as their witness and love in their hearts, they decided to tie the knot on a whim. It was a beautiful love story, one of those that happen unexpectedly, but with all the magic and wonder of true love. They may have come from another country, but this island will always hold a special place in their hearts as the place where they decided to spend forever together.

Our photo session took place amidst the stunning scenery of Ayian Napa and Protaras, where the sun shone brightly and the air was filled with the sweet scent of salt and sea. We began our journey near an undiscovered beach, where the crystal-clear waters sparkled and the white sandy shore stretched out as far as the eye could see. The couple was surrounded by the natural beauty of the place, the sun rays hitting their skin, the sound of the waves in the background and the love in the air.

As we moved on, we climbed to the top of a hill, where we were met with panoramic views of the Konnos beach. The couple stood at the edge of the hill, overlooking the vast expanse of blue sea and the distant horizon. They could see the little boats in the distance and the seagulls flying by, it was as if the world stood still for them and all that was left was the two of them and the beautiful scenery surrounding them. It was a truly breathtaking experience, one that will forever be etched in their memories and in the beautiful photos we took that day.

The ceremony was a intimate and emotional event, only 4 people were present as the couple exchanged vows in a moving and heartfelt manner. It was a beautiful moment of love, joy and raw emotion.

«Γνωριστήκαμε αρκετά χρόνια πριν από κοινή παρέα και αφού γίναμε φίλοι αρχικά, μετά δημιουργήσαμε σχέση και έκτοτε είμαστε μαζί. Η πρόταση έγινε το 2015 σε ένα ταξίδι που κάναμε οι δυο μας, με την Κοραλία να το καταλαβαίνει τελευταία στιγμή και “ας πούμε” ότι χάλασε την έκπληξη», μοιράστηκε μαζί μας η Κοραλία.

«Για το νυφικό μου εμπιστεύτηκα την Στάλω Θεοδώρου με κλειστά μάτια. Είναι εξαιρετικός άνθρωπος και επαγγελματίας στη δουλειά της. Μου έφτιαξε το νυφικό μου όπως ακριβώς το ονειρευόμουν, τόσο λαμπερό, τόσο κοντά σε μένα και τόσο ανάλαφρο».

«Η συμβουλή μου σε μια μέλλουσα νύφη είναι να μην αγχώνεται και να απολαύσει τον γάμο της στο έπακρο. Και το σημαντικότερο να κάνει την σωστή επιλογή στον Dj γιατί παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στο γλέντι».

Sparkling memories & Serenaded by the Sea

We can't help but reminisce about the beautiful day we had in Paphos with Yiota and Aristotelis. We visited some very scenic locations in the center of the refurbished Paphos center and had many laughs along the way. It was a charming spot, with quaint cobblestone streets and colorful storefronts that really made the place feel special. We took in the views and snapped some photos, enjoying the warm sunshine and peaceful atmosphere.

We came across a stunning hellenistic fountain in the center of the square. We couldn't resist taking some photos of the elegant columns and intricate carvings.

(Click here to view the photos as Gallery)

For the second leg of our little trip, we ventured into the older part of town in search of architecturally themed shots. As time passed, the sun began to set, casting a soft glow over the city. The light was perfect for capturing the beauty and character of the older buildings. We walked through the winding streets, marveling at the unique architecture and taking in the atmosphere of the historic district.

After making our way to Petra tou Romiou, we were eager to take advantage of the golden hour light. As we walked along the beach, we were surprised to find that it was completely empty. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We quickly set up a carpet and some champagne, creating a romantic scene straight out of a novel. The golden light of the setting sun added to the atmosphere, and we were able to capture some truly breathtaking shots.

As nightfall approached, Yiota had one final surprise in store for us. She brought out a bundle of sparklers, their bright light illuminating the darkness. It was the perfect ending to our day, and we were filled with excitement and anticipation as we prepared for the final shoot.

The sparklers danced in their hands, creating a mesmerizing display of light and color.

Serenaded by the Sea

We would like to think that we unequivocally attract couples that need no second thought to fall into their love. Souls that emanate positivity and eros. Whatever the case might be · the constant that keeps entrenching itself in our work doesn't try to mask itself, it just simply exists in our frames. So blessed. Dreamy locations timed to perfection for the ideal light, chosen by Yiota & Aristotelis. Enjoy.

Wild winds and restless waves

It was an amazing day spent with Stef, P, and their closest friends, including their beautiful daughter. The scenery was stunning, with the sun perfectly positioned and the colors popping.

We even had the opportunity to meet another couple who were having their own location shoot. As we looked at each other, we both agreed that there is nothing more beautiful than capturing the love of a couple.

The joy radiating from those closest to us is truly a sight to behold and cherish forever.

A gusty breeze at the sandy shore, Where the waves crash and the seagulls soar, On this windy day at the beach, Nature's beauty is within reach

A day to remember indeed, and we were grateful to be able to capture such beauty.
