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..
