Aes Ambelis Winery: A Unique Wedding Reception Venue in Cyprus

Shooting wedding receptions in Aes Ambelis winery is a bit of a dream.

With sweeping views of the surrounding hills and a vineyard to boot - Aes Ambelis is a popular choice for stylish couples who love a magical outdoor setting coupled with a fantastic selection of wines. An awesome and truly unique venue for your wedding photography.

Tiny Moments, Big Feelings: Standout Memories from Weddings 2024

Compiling some of your favourite wedding moments from 2024 was never going to be an easy task. How do you even begin? Literally EVERY single wedding I’ve been a part of has had its incredible moments. I could write an entire book on it: the laughter, the tears, the funny bits, the drop-dead gorgeous aesthetics and all the nuance of the day as a wedding photographer I notice.

But who the hell has got time to read a book? So here goes - SOME of my standout moments of 2024...

The Almost-Dropped Bride

Doing a bridal toss with a petite bride and four strapping lads was surely never going to be a problem. Or was it? But a windy day or perhaps an inability to grasp the basic laws of physics, resulted in an almost dropped bride.

---

The Celebratory Rum Shots

A spontaneous after-wedding photoshoot in Brixton ended with rum shots and a romantic first dance. All at one of their fave bar/restaurants in Brixton Market and courtesy of the owner. Happy days.

---

My Nephew-in-Law’s Walima

Being a part of my nephew-in-law’s wedding day and seeing him marry the most beautiful girl. I’ve known him since he was a little boy, so watching them together totally melted my heart.

---

A Cyprus Winery Wedding

The most beautiful couple in the most beautiful location. A trip to Larnaca in Cyprus followed by a photoshoot and their wedding reception at the STUNNING Aes Ambelis Winery up in the hills near Kalo Chorio, Cyprus. A twelve hour extravaganza of the most awesome friends and family you could possibly imagine. Want to see more? Check out all the happiness and the incredible views HERE.

Favourite Dressed Couple of 2024?

I think quite possible MY FAVE Bride and Groom outfit combo. And it was tough. Trust me.

---

Biggest Lump-In-The-Throat-Moment-at-a-Wedding

OMG this one had me welling up big time. I see this a lot and its one of my favourite micro-moments from the day. But this, combined with the day’s build up, was on another level. Way too many emotions for this Groom to contain -it was just the most moving thing. Entering the church with one big lump in my throat was not what I envisiged for this day! An incredible day from start to finish.

---

One of my fave ‘awww’ moments

Just LOVED capturing this little exchange between father and daughter as she walked up the aisle.

---

Burgers!

Just loved seeing this couple tucking into their wedding burgers. And what amazing burgers they were. I can totally attest to that.

---

Fave Wedding Venue?

I think this was def a stand out wedding venue. The shabby chic Asylum Chapel in Peckham and a memorable couple (who I also saw at their friends’ wedding later that year - how cool?) to top it all off. Check out the hilarity HERE.

---

The Boris Johnson Lookalike

‘Boris’ was only brought in on the day to mill around the guests. No one expected him to dance with them too. Loved it.

---

Best Wedding Procession

OMG literally the BEST wedding procession I have ever seen. This theatrical duo brought in legendary vintage band Grumpah to lead the way from the church to the reception venue. Literally stopping central London traffic and commuters in their tracks. If there was an Oscar for best wedding procession this would be it.

---

Best Wedding Sign

And who doesn’t like making-a-statement wedding signage? Cue Ritzy Cinema in Brixton. And very aptly just the spot where this awesome couple met for the first time. Memorable day - memorable couple.

---

Funniest Speech

The Bride reading a short extract from a short story she’d written about their dog. I’ve been known to well up with tears during a speech or two, but not crying with laughter. Honestly, one of those you had to be there moments. Bloody brilliant.

Check out their Brunswick House Wedding HERE.

---

Fave Confetti Moment

Loved this “No we’re all gonna hold up roses and shower you with bubbles instead of confetti” moments. So cool. Shot at London's iconic Chelsea Old Town Hall. See more HERE.

---

Standout Dancefloor Action

Arabic drumming and dancing took to the dancefloor to start this party off. SO GOOD. Kept everyone dancing for a long LONG time.

---

Iconic-as Wedding Venue

Getting a chance to shoot in iconic London landmark Tower of London was always gonna be a cool one. But for me personally totally surpassed by this amazing couple and their love for each other. AND their kids. AND their friends. Could def write a whole book about their wedding day. Just AMAZING from start to finish. And the bride’s daughter sang their first dance song. Doesn’t get more special than that.

Standout Bridal Outfit

STAND OUT bridal wear. Nikeen Asar. One of my faves. Just stunning. See more Marylebone Weddings HERE.

---

Best Party Hands Down

ONE OF THE BEST PARTIES EVER. Katerina and Alec’s Wedding. What a total joy from start to finish. Live music AND DJs. SO MUCH FUN.

---

Standout Bridal Party

Now if you’re gonna spend all day out in the wilds of East Sussex, you’re gonna do it with this lot. Not only super-lovely standout couple of the year, but stand out ENTIRE WEDDING PARTY. Just wonderful wonderful people. Had a blast. Pangdean Old Barn Wedding.

---

Standout Dancing

Dancing at its finest was to be had when this Portugese/Scottish couple opted for a Scottish Ceilidh at their recent wedding party. Everyone was encouraged to take part and it was SO much fun. Check out more of the vibe HERE.

A popular choice is The Ivy, and who doesnt LOVE their Glasshouse situated in their fabolous garden? And as a London-based wedding photographer it’s also super easy and convenient for me to get to by public transport.

Beaufort House is also another popular choice of nearby venue in Chelsea, and they have a function room with its own bar upstairs you can hire for your wedding celebrations..
