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.
