Some weddings just stick with you, and this one at Minthis Resort will stay in my heart for a long time. It was a celebration of love, elegance, and so much joy, with family and friends flying in from across the globe to make the day even more special. From the emotional ceremony under a dreamy chuppah to an unforgettable party that had everyone on their feet, it was one of those weddings where everything came together perfectly.
A Dress That Let Simplicity Shine
The bride’s gown was an absolute reflection of her vision for the day. She chose it from Princess Dreams in Berlin, and it was simple, elegant, and timeless—completely free of lace, glitter, or any over-the-top details. It was understated in the best way, letting her natural beauty and the elegance of the day take centre stage.
The Perfect Venue for a Timeless Day
Minthis Resort was the ideal location for Micha and his bride’s vision of a “classic and elegant, timeless” wedding. With its Tuscan vibes and sweeping views, the venue offered an effortless blend of sophistication and natural beauty. It was their wedding planner who suggested it, and from the moment they saw it, they knew it was the one.
The couple specifically didn’t want a beach wedding, and Minthis gave them the elegance they were after while still feeling warm and inviting.
The Dream Team Behind It All
A huge shoutout has to go to their wedding planners, Overseas Weddings. From the start, they worked tirelessly to ensure every detail reflected Micha and his bride’s vision for the day. Whether it was finding the perfect venue, coordinating with vendors, or creating that jaw-dropping floral design, they truly brought the couple’s dream wedding to life.
One thing I really appreciated about them was how calm and organized they were. There’s always so much happening behind the scenes at a wedding, but the planners handled it all seamlessly, making the day feel effortless for the couple and their guests. They were the glue that held everything together, and their hard work showed in every single detail.
A Ceremony Full of Heart
The ceremony was an emotional highlight for everyone. They exchanged vows under the most stunning chuppah, covered in white flowers that caught the golden light of sunset. The aisle was lined with candles and white rose petals, creating a romantic glow that set the mood perfectly.
I’ll never forget the looks on their faces during the vows—it was one of those raw, emotional moments that make you feel so lucky to be there capturing it all. You could feel the love in the air, and yes, there were definitely some happy tears all around.
Why They Chose Me as Their Photographer
When I asked the bride how they chose me, her words completely made my day. She found me on Instagram and said she instantly knew I was “the best photographer in all of Cyprus.” She loved my aesthetic and the way I capture candid moments, describing my style as “like a Vogue photoshoot.”
Honestly, hearing that made me so happy because I strive to create images that not only tell a story but also feel timeless and stylish. Being able to document this incredible day was such an honor.
A Day to Remember Forever
This wedding was so much more than beautiful—it was joyful, emotional, and so full of love. Micha and his bride poured their hearts into every detail, and the result was a celebration that felt effortlessly perfect.
I feel so lucky to have been a part of this incredible day, capturing all the big moments and the little ones in between. If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding in Cyprus, let this be your sign—when love and planning come together like this, it’s pure magic.
Advice from the Bride
When I asked the bride if she had any advice for future couples, she didn’t hesitate: “Get a wedding planner!” She said it made the whole process so much easier and stress-free. Her other advice? Don’t skimp on the things that matter most to you.
“Spend extra on the DJ, the flowers, and the photographer if you can,” she said. “Those things make such a huge difference, and you won’t regret it.”
Timeless white reception
Let’s talk about the reception—it was breathtaking. The all-white floral arrangements popped against the elegant décor, creating a look that felt fresh, luxurious, and timeless. I overheard so many guests commenting on how stunning everything looked. The bride told me their planners encouraged them to invest a little more into flowers, and wow, was it worth it!
Their First Dance
Micha and his bride chose “Until I Found You” by Stephen Sanchez for their first dance, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Micha explained that he loved how it sounded like an old classic but was still modern and fresh. Watching them on the dance floor, surrounded by their closest friends and family, was such a beautiful moment.
The party
The party was next-level fun. Micha and his bride flew in DJ Adidor all the way from Israel, and he absolutely brought the house down. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last, and I couldn’t stop snapping pictures of everyone having the time of their lives. There’s something magical about a dance floor full of love and laughter—it’s those moments that truly make a wedding unforgettable.
The photo booth
A huge hit! Guests kept sneaking off for hilarious group shots with props, and the results were fantastic. It added such a playful touch to the night, and people were still laughing about it the next day.
