My day would start with myself and my videographer ( If Chosen ) Arriving two and a half hours before your ceremony to capture all your bridal preparations also all the finer details like your shoes, flowers, perfume, favors and not forgetting the most important item your Dress.
We also like to capture if possible is the groom finishing off with those fine details like his tie or cuff links maybe his shoes and button hole.
Other emotional moments we love to capture is when whoever is giving the bride away enters the room and sees the bride for the first time, This is a moment that has even brought a tear to my eye.
It’s now that time for you to be walked down the isle, Bridesmaids, Flowergirls, Pageboys we capture it all.
This is when emotions can run high as I get the groom to turn around and see his stunning bride for the first time, I have seen tears of joy, Bursts of laughter, All sorts of emotions that take seconds to capture but have a lifetime of memories.
A civil ceremony usually only takes around 15 minutes this is when you read your vows to each other.
You will then sign the certificate of marriage with your two witnesses which again is all captured for you to look back on in years to come.
It’s now confetti time.
I will set this up for you so this beautiful moment is captured perfectly with the confetti of your choice.
We will then go onto photographing all your group and family photos this usually takes about 45 minutes depending on the amount of guests. It’s always good to get some fun shots as well at this time.
During the next couple of hours you will cut the cake and relax with a nice cold drink with your family and friends.
At some stage I will be taking you off to a couple of stunning locations to capture yourselves in the beautiful surroundings of Cyprus. We will also take you to breathtaking locations for those unforgettable sunset photographs.
You will be away from your guests for around 1 hour for this, but don’t worry it’s a great time to have a moment to yourselves and reflect on those memorable moments of your day.
We then return to your venue for your reception, It’s time for the speeches, We will capture every emotion during this time and please believe me we have seen them all. Moments to treasure.
My day will finish with capturing your first dance wether it being a practiced routine or two people moving on the spot I am there for that moment.
The timings of everyone’s day is slightly different however I hope this has given you a rough guide to how your special day will run.
Enjoy every moment.
Alex.
