Paphos Wedding Photographer
We are Nick and Aimie Wild — Beziique — an award-winning husband-and-wife team who have spent more than fifteen years photographing weddings across Cyprus, with well over a thousand celebrations behind us and a place on the list of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World in 2018. Paphos is where a great deal of our story unfolds: a coastline of honey-coloured stone, hilltop estates with views that run all the way to the sea, and a quality of evening light that is hard to find anywhere else on the island. If you are a UK couple planning to marry here, this page is for you.
Our approach is documentary and led by emotion. We do not pose you through a checklist of stiff set-ups; we watch, we anticipate, and we photograph the day as it genuinely happens — the nervous laughter before you walk down the aisle, your dad's face, the speeches that go off-script, the dancing that does not stop. Aimie is also a wedding singer, which means we understand the rhythm of a wedding day from the inside and know exactly when the real moments are about to land.
Documentary wedding photography in Paphos
A documentary wedding photographer earns their place by being unobtrusive. Over fifteen years we have learned to read a room, to stay a step ahead of the action, and to let your day breathe rather than directing it. The result is a gallery that feels like your wedding rather than a staged version of it — honest, warm and full of the people you love. When couples look back years later, they tell us it is the in-between moments they treasure most, and those are precisely the frames we are built to catch.
Working as a two-person team is part of why this works. With both of us there, one can be with you while the other is with your partner or your guests, so nothing important slips past. We cover the getting-ready quiet of the morning, the ceremony, the golden-hour portraits and the party, and we do it without ever turning your wedding into a photo shoot. You will barely notice us, which is exactly the point.
Paphos suits this style beautifully. Many of the region's venues are intimate, family-run or set within dramatic natural surroundings, and a documentary eye thrives where there is real atmosphere to draw on. Whether you are eloping with two witnesses or hosting a hundred guests, we shape our coverage to your day. You can see the full breadth of our Cyprus work in our portfolio, which is the best way to understand how we tell a wedding story from first light to last dance.
Paphos venues we love
Paphos and its hinterland hold some of the most photogenic wedding venues in Cyprus, and we know them intimately. Liopetro is a long-standing favourite — a hilltop stone venue near Kouklia with sweeping countryside-to-sea views and warm evening light that seems made for portraits. The Vasilias Nikoklis Inn, a beautifully restored 18th-century coaching inn in the village of Nikoklia, offers a leafy, lantern-lit courtyard that is pure romance after dark.
For couples drawn to dramatic landscapes, Minthis sits high in the hills above Paphos amid pine forest and a historic monastery setting, while Elea Estate pairs a manicured golf resort with wide Mediterranean views. Closer to the harbour, the Almyra brings a contemporary seafront elegance, with the old fort and fishing boats just along the front. Each of these venues photographs differently, and knowing where the light falls and when is half of what we do.
If you are still choosing where to celebrate, our guide to getting married in Paphos walks you through the region, its venues and what makes each one special. And because we have photographed so many of these places across the seasons, we can offer genuinely practical advice on timings — when to schedule your ceremony, where to be for sunset, and how to make the most of the light your venue is known for.
The light and locations of Paphos
Light is everything in photography, and Paphos has it in abundance. The region enjoys long, clear days for much of the year, and its position on the south-west of the island gives you sunsets over the sea rather than behind the hills — a gift for golden-hour portraits. In the late afternoon the warm stone of so many Paphos venues glows, and the soft, low sun flatters every complexion and every dress.
Season matters too. The shoulder months of May–June and September–October are our favourites here: comfortable temperatures, golden light and skies that hold colour late into the evening. High summer brings heat above 32°C, so for July and August weddings we always recommend late-afternoon or sunset ceremonies, both for your guests' comfort and for the loveliest pictures. Winter is the quietest and cheapest time to marry, and on a crisp clear day the light can be extraordinary.
Beyond the venues themselves, Paphos offers a wealth of backdrops within easy reach — the UNESCO-listed harbour and medieval fort, the rock formations of the coastline, olive groves and vineyards inland, and quiet old villages with worn stone walls. We often build a short portrait excursion into the day where it suits the couple, and we are equally happy to keep everything on-site. Either way, we plan around the light rather than fighting it.
Your investment
Wedding photography is the one thing from your day that you keep forever, and we price it as the keepsake it is. Our collections are designed around real Cyprus weddings — from intimate elopements to full-day celebrations with two of us covering every moment — and you can see exactly what is included on our investment page. A Cyprus wedding is typically far more affordable than a comparable celebration in the UK, which means many couples are able to invest properly in the photography that outlasts everything else.
We take a limited number of weddings each year so that every couple gets our full attention, and popular Paphos dates in the shoulder seasons go early. The best next step is simply to get in touch and tell us about your plans. We will check your date, talk through your venue and your vision, and send you everything you need. You can reach us any time via our contact page — we would genuinely love to hear from you.
How soon will we get our wedding photos?
You'll receive a set of sneak-peek images within the first days after your wedding, so you have something beautiful to share while the memories are fresh. Your full, hand-edited gallery is then delivered in approximately 6–10 weeks. Every image is individually edited in our signature documentary style — we never cut corners on the part that lasts a lifetime.
How far is Cyprus to fly from the UK?
Cyprus is roughly a 4.5-hour direct flight from the UK, with regular services into both Paphos (PFO) and Larnaca (LCA) airports. That short-haul distance is one of the reasons Cyprus is so popular for UK destination weddings — it's easy for guests of all ages to join you, with no long-haul jet lag.
When is the best time of year to get married in Cyprus?
The most popular months are May–June and September–October, when temperatures sit around a comfortable 20–26°C and the light is soft and golden — ideal for photography. July and August are the hottest (often 32°C and above), so we recommend later-afternoon and sunset ceremonies in high summer. The shoulder seasons give the best light, while winter is the cheapest and quietest time to marry in Cyprus if you want an intimate, low-cost celebration.
Which Paphos venues have you photographed?
A great many — Paphos is one of our home regions and we know its venues inside out. Among our favourites are Liopetro near Kouklia, the Vasilias Nikoklis Inn at Nikoklia, Minthis up in the hills, Elea Estate and the seafront Almyra, along with countless villas, beaches and village settings across the district. The best way to see the range is to browse our portfolio, where you will find real Paphos weddings photographed across the seasons.
