Casale Panayiotis is in the spa village of Kalopanayiotis in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. The traditional architecture and stone work is stunning. I captured my beautiful bride and groom getting dressed for their wedding here, before we travelled over to Marasthesea Winery for the wedding ceremony, the traditional Cypriot stolisma and a celebration party bringing together people from all over the world, celebrating the Cypriot, South African and Canadian heritages.

Bridal Preparations at Casale Pananyiotis

Anna wore a beautiful vintage wedding dress.

Groom Preparations at Casale Pananyiotis

As Rob was also getting ready here, I was able to capture some of him getting ready also. I love being able to do this and capture the groom getting ready also.

Wedding at Marathasa Winery – a vineyard in Troodos Mountains

You can see Marathasa Winery from the balcony of Casale Panayiotis.

Anna and her bridesmaids took a vintage car up to the winery for the wedding ceremony.

A Cypriot wedding Stolisma

The Stolisma or Allamata is a part of Greek Cypriot wedding traditions where friends and family help the bride and groom to get ready. Anna encorporated this slightly different as part of her wedding day which was so beautiful. She had her stolisma after the wedding ceremony. Her groom, and the wider circle of friends and family were all able to enjoy it. It was in the most gorgeous evening light at Marathasa winery. A perfect location!

Couple Portraits

Anna and Rob love photographs. They both have an artistic eye. We wanted to have a variety of images of them from the day. Many candid images from “in the moment”. But also a variety from through the day. We wanted to ensure that they didn’t spend a lot of time away from their guests. And so had a number of short 5 minute bursts, that reflected different times, locations, emotions and light within the day.
