Chad & Lucie – Ktima Alassos
The day
Chad and Lucie started the day at Cypria Bay, each with their own suite and their own crowd — family, groomsmen, bridesmaids, two rooms filling up on opposite sides of the same hotel. Two preparations running in parallel is the most useful thing a couple can give a film crew, because you get both halves of the morning rather than choosing one.
We went ahead to Ktima Alassos while the venue was still empty. That hour is worth more than it looks: the flowers are finished, the tables are laid, the light is coming off the sea, and nobody has touched any of it. We put the drone up over the lawn and the cliffs and filmed the whole place as it was meant to be seen, before a hundred people arrived and made it theirs.
Then the bus came up the coast road and the venue filled in about four minutes. Lucie arrived shortly after and was received by her father. [One detail — what he said, what he did, how long they stood there.]
We recorded the ceremony in full, and afterwards the speeches in full too — her father, the best man, and then the two of them. Speeches are the part couples most often ask us to keep complete, and the reason is always the same: they were too busy being in the room to hear what was actually said.
Between the two came the best hour of the day. A saxophonist playing through the cocktails, the children given a corner of their own so their parents could actually relax, and the light dropping over the water while we took Chad and Lucie out to the cliff edge for twenty minutes on their own.
Dinner, the first dance, and then fireworks over the sea. [One moment from the night.]

A full day at Alassos
This is our second wedding at Ktima Alassos, and the difference this time was that the day began somewhere else. Getting ready at a hotel and marrying at a private venue is the most common shape a Cyprus wedding takes, and the thing that decides whether it works on film is simply how much time is built in for the move. We go ahead to the venue while the couple are still getting ready, which means the empty, finished setup gets filmed properly — flowers, tables, drone over the lawn — instead of being caught in gaps between guests later.
Guest transport matters more than couples expect. A coach arriving means a hundred people appear at once rather than trickling in over an hour, so the arrival is a single moment worth covering deliberately, and it needs someone positioned for it. It also means the venue is genuinely empty right up until it isn’t, which is a gift for the setup footage.
The cliff above the beach is the best twenty minutes of the day here and the reason to hold your ceremony in the late afternoon. Alassos faces west over open water with nothing in the way, so the sun goes down into the sea rather than behind a hill. And if you are planning fireworks, tell your videographer at the booking stage rather than on the day — they need a camera placed and exposed for them in advance, and they happen exactly once.
