CYPRUS WEDDING PLANNING TIMELINE: WHEN TO BOOK YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER

Planning a wedding in Cyprus is a dream for many couples. With its Mediterranean charm, sun-drenched coastlines, and historic venues, the island offers a stunning setting for your celebration. But alongside the venue, the dress, and the guest list, one of the most important elements is ensuring your memories are captured in a way that reflects the beauty and emotion of your day.

So when should you book your wedding photographer and videographer in Cyprus?

The short answer: the sooner, the better. But let’s walk through a detailed timeline to help you plan with confidence.

12–18 Months Before the Wedding:  Secure Your

Photographer & Videographer

Once you’ve confirmed your wedding date and venue, your next step should be

to book your photo and video team. Wedding professionals in Cyprus, especially

those with a limited number of weddings per month are often booked far in

advance, particularly during peak season (May to October). By booking early,

you ensure availability and give yourself the advantage of working closely with

your photographer or videographer to plan a personalized approach to your

wedding story.

This early stage is also the best time to:

  • Schedule a consultation or video call

  • Review portfolios and past work

  • Discuss packages, pricing, and delivery timelines

  • Reserve your date with a deposit

 ​

                                                               

 

1 Month Before: Final Schedule and Planning

Approximately 4–6 weeks before the wedding, your photographer and/or videographer will confirm all final details, such as:

  • A complete timeline of the wedding day

  • Locations for preparations, ceremony, and reception

  • A list of any specific group or family photos

  • Any changes or special requests

At this point, everything is carefully organized so that you can enjoy your wedding day without having to worry about logistics or missed moments.

On the Wedding Day: Professional, Discreet Coverage

With everything planned, your team will arrive prepared and on time to capture the day with professionalism and care. From morning preparations to the ceremony, couple portraits, and your evening celebration, every detail and emotion will be documented.

An experienced photographer or videographer won’t just capture what the day looked like, but what it felt like.

After the Wedding: Delivery and Memories

Following the wedding, you can typically expect a sneak peek or preview within a few days, and full delivery of your photos and/or films within a few weeks (based on your agreement). Your final gallery or video will be delivered in high resolution via a secure online link, with options for prints or albums if desired.

Final Thoughts

Booking your photographer and videographer is one of the most meaningful decisions you’ll make during the planning process. These are the professionals who will preserve your memories and turn your day into a visual story you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

9–12 Months Before: Start Planning the Vision

Once you’ve booked your photographer and/or videographer, the next few months are ideal for defining the artistic direction of your wedding coverage. This includes:

  • Sharing inspiration boards or reference videos

  • Discussing the style you prefer (documentary, editorial, cinematic, natural light, etc.)

  • Outlining any specific moments or family traditions you'd like to highlight

  • Deciding whether you’ll include drone coverage, teaser films, or an engagement session

This is also when you may decide to arrange a pre-wedding shoot, which is a wonderful opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera and capture more relaxed moments ahead of the wedding.
