Laura Beach Hotel Wedding Photography, Paphos
The Laura Beach & Splash Resort at Chlorakas, just north of Paphos town, is a relaxed, family-run beachfront resort that suits UK couples who want their whole celebration in one welcoming place. With ceremony options on the sand and an easy-going Cypriot warmth, it's a natural fit for the documentary, emotion-led photography we've shot across more than a thousand weddings. If you're planning a wedding here, this page shows how we cover the day and what to expect — and you can read our wider advice on getting married in Paphos as you plan.
About the venue
The Laura Beach Hotel sits on the coast at Chlorakas, just north of Paphos town. It's a family-run resort with a friendly, unfussy feel — exactly the kind of venue that suits couples who don't want a polished hotel-brand experience but do want everything in one place.
Ceremonies can take place on the beach in front of the hotel or on the pool terrace, with the reception usually held in the open-air dining area overlooking the sea. The team here is hands-on and the food is generous in the best Cypriot tradition.
For UK couples flying in, the all-in-one nature of the resort makes the logistics simple — guests stay, celebrate and unwind without ever needing to travel between locations. If a beach setting is high on your list, it's worth comparing the Laura Beach with the other Cyprus beach wedding venues we know well, so you can picture which coastline and atmosphere feels most like you.
Why we love the Laura Beach Hotel
Some venues feel staged for photos and some just feel like a good place to spend a day with people you love. The Laura Beach sits firmly in the second category.
We photographed Maryellen and Ben's wedding here and the relaxed pace gave us a gallery full of unguarded, in-between moments — which is normally what people remember most.
That unhurried feel is exactly what our style thrives on. We work quietly in the background, so the laughter at the table, the speeches that catch people off guard and the golden-hour light on the sea all land naturally rather than being posed into existence. If you'd like a sense of the nearby coastline alternatives, the Coral Beach Hotel a little further up the coast offers a similar resort-by-the-sea feel that's worth seeing too, while the more polished Elysium Paphos is another Paphos option to weigh up.
Our approach to Cyprus wedding photography
At Beziique we believe great Cyprus wedding photography goes far beyond technical skill. It is about creating unforgettable experiences and timeless, beautiful pieces of art that capture every moment of your day.
Nick and Aimie have spent more than fifteen years photographing weddings across Cyprus and Ibiza, and were named among the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World in 2018. That experience means we know exactly how the light moves across a Paphos beach through the afternoon, and how to be present for every quiet, important moment without ever getting in the way. You can see the full range of our work in our portfolio, and if you'd like a Paphos specialist's perspective on venues, light and timings, our guide as a Paphos wedding photographer goes into more detail.

Can we have our ceremony on the beach or at our villa?
Yes. A symbolic ceremony or blessing can be held anywhere you like — a beach, a garden, a clifftop, a private villa or a vineyard — because it isn't tied to the legal paperwork. If you want your actual legal wedding outdoors, many licensed venues can host the civil ceremony too; your planner will confirm what's possible at your chosen spot. Either way, Cyprus's beaches and landscapes make a breathtaking backdrop.
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.
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 long do we have to be in Cyprus before the wedding?
You need to be in Cyprus for a minimum of one clear working day before your ceremony. In practice most couples arrive a few days early to settle in and meet their planner. If you are short on time, a Special Licence (which carries an extra fee) lets you marry within roughly three business days of applying. You apply to the local Marriage Officer at the town hall of the district where you are marrying.
