One dance to rule them all

When your emotional crescendo matches your visual peak. Sometimes we are blessed and privileged to be able to convey the immense love of two people in a series of a few carefully filmed shots. No need for extended randomness.

From island to island

We were supposed to be in Rodos for Alex & Maria’s perfect day.
You know how this story goes : Covid Covid Covid.

Nonetheless the guys found a perfect spot that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Rodos. The best part of it is that the Church’s architect is Maria’s father so theres was an extra layer of meaning to their choice.

Karina Leonenko was the photographer but we couldn’t resist taking this snap.

Being an architect family meant that Maria’s prep was also held at an equally impressive super minimal house which gave us the perfect setting and lighting for our shots. Tiny mini teaser for y’all.

Aftermath 💒

We had another triple header this weekend. Super tiring but super satisfying. When you’re in love with weddings you know what this means. Every couple has their own little story and it’s an absolute joy to get to be part of it.

A worthy atmosphere.

On Saturday we had the honour to be with the Barakat clan who flew from Lebanon for Sarah’s wedding. A totally international crowd with Tom’s family being flown in from the UK, Belgium the USA and Mexico. A very colourful crowd indeed. Also Sarah and Tom had two ceremonies, one in Nicosia and one in Ayia Napa. Yes you have questions more in time 🤓.

The following day (Sunday) we were off to the polar opposite of the beach wedding we were the day before. We were off to the mountainous region of Xiliatos for a super stylish themed Wedding in a vineyard .

I know we say this a-lot but this is why we love Cyprus

We had a super bride that looks absolutely stunning.

Wedding στο χωρκό

Wedding στο χωρκό (sto horko)
We had a truly marvellous wedding day at the village of Moutoulas.

Julieta had her close family flown in from Greece and the USA. They along with Christo’s family embraced local tradition openly bonding their families together. Stories written by the moments, ageing like fine wine in our memories. We got to capture all that and everything in between.

🎼Listening to : Bonobo - Figures

Tradition is king and the way Julieta and her family embraced it was inspiring.
More to come.

Light hitting every right spot. By the grace of god

Bloom (Frozen and in Motion)

A white dress is an emblem of purity, innocence and the unsullied heart a bride yields to her chosen one. Wedding dresses weren’t always white though.

Ancient Athenian brides wore long violet or light reddish robes when getting married. Upon entering, an Athenian bride was given a quince fruit to bite into, like Persephone tasting the pomegranate seeds from the underworld orchards. The earliest recorded instance of a white wedding dress in Western culture is that of the English Princess Philippa at her wedding to the Scandinavian King Eric in 1406.

No matter the colour of your wedding dress one thing is certain - brides are like blooming flowers extending their reach and seducing everyone who gazes upon them.

Cassandra + Christos

Sometimes the simplest of emotions are difficult to explain let alone define. Fortunately there exists an innate manifestation and an unavoidable graceful exposure to ones true self through moving pictures.

It is often sublime - subdued within and reading between the lines of colour, sound and pace becomes an expression of its own. Sometimes though, through it, all is laid bare and we are lucky enough to experience the sealing of an unyielding love and the creation of a bond between two lovers.

Things we meet in our everyday experience are nothing but an imitation of the full reality of forms. The real world is the world of perfect, eternal and immaterial forms, not the one of everyday experience. Works of art deceive and artists are deceivers. “Plato”

Ekaterina being absolutely stunning. More from her elegant beach wedding soon.

All roads lead to the summit

We made it. Had an amazing day with Andreas + Andria (and Mr Lefko) jumping from one part of Troodos to the other and eventually finding what was left of snow on the summit. Cant wait to start colouring and editing the video as well, some very very special scenes shot by our own mrLefko 🎥.

Follow us on @cinesen.film.studio for more sneak peaks from their wedding ❤️!

#groom territory

Dashing, stylish and full of confidence · add a pinch of adventurousness and you’ve moved into proper #groom territory. Declan is gracefully killing it (men can be graceful too 🤵 suave?) .

Memory lane in style

From our Instagram Post

We remembered this little bit of “Cinesen” history (if we may) when we saw that our friend’s @steliosnoir short film entitled ‘Reunion - The Film’ (you can follow on Facebook) is currently wiping the movie festival floors with awards. Strange how from the very first moment he told us that he wanted to direct and was giving us directions while we filmed him and his future wife. Amazing stuff we are supper happy and we are positive that more greatness is to come from him!

All we can say is that we have always tended to attract a certain energy, an energy that only instinctive people exude. For those people everything comes naturally without force. Thats what we love in each and every one of our couples, the ease and confidence of being yourself. Purity.

The “Experts” keep telling us to hide our feelings because it’s bad for our business. What they don’t understand is that feelings are at the core of what we do - if it doesn’t make you feel something then simply put - is nothing. Dare to be #trueauthentic .

Heart of Autumn, revisited.

We are launching this part of our homepage again (the elusive blog 💻) to make it easier for everyone to follow our latest news and announcements. So be sure to check back for updates and to follow our socials.

So as first order of business, we decided to revisit this amazing location shoot with Andreas & Despoina. We are launching our new Color pack entitled ‘Caramel Dreams’ and decided to recolour the ‘Heart of Autumn’ using its palette. So if you’ve watched this one before here is your excuse for a rewatch, if you haven’t watch below. ❤️ stay clasy.

“The heart of autumn must have broken here, and poured its treasure upon the leaves because love is a slow burn.”

The quintessential

A well reasoned reflection on transcendental love. ‘The quintessential’

;Perspectives of love have grown - from the beginning with a love for one’s blood relatives in kinship communities, evolving into a love for friendship in the ancient world, a chivalrous love in the feudal era, and, finally, into the private, intimate relationships of contemporary times. We are lucky enough to be able to peak into this private intimacy every once in a while.’

We had a ton of fun with Andria & Andreas, we already shared a small sneak peak earlier this month (symmetrical Mood-shots if you’re wondering) and will be sharing more, fingers crossed covid won’t stop our location shoot.

Teeny tiny little teaser from IG.
