Andrea and Philip met at university, whilst studying really hard in Starbucks. When we heard about this, we surprised the couple with a little Starbucks shoot in a corner of the hotel; we supplied the cups, etc. These are the little things we do to make a day special. The couple loved getting a moment alone!
Philip thought Andrea was hot (his words, not ours!), whilst Andrea thought Philip was nice, and noticed that he spoke out for people, trying to include everyone.
So the couple met in Belfast, but Andreas’ roots are in Cyprus, which is where they married. We love a wedding with a local flavour.

September is a fabulous month to marry in Cyprus,it was hot, but not too hot. Our photography and videography team spent the whole day with the couple, capturing every moment.

Andrea followed local tradition and walked down the Aisle to the wedding ceremony on her own. The couple decided to have a wedding celebrant, and th wedding was so personalised and wonderful.
The ceremony completed by the newlyweds being crowned King and Queen of their home, with the placing of ribbon joined Stefana (crowns) on their heads. The ribbon symbolising unity and the everlasting bind between a Bride and Groom.
After placing the Stefana, the Koumpara (Maid of honour) performed the Kapnistiri ritual, using a Censer to bless the wedding with smoke.
After a sunset shoot, Andrea and Philip joined the wedding guests for the evening reception, overlooking the sea, in the lovely Rondaval venue, found just by the beach within the resort.
A firework display rounded the day off,with the couple viewing on the beach.
