Merit Royal Wedding Photographer
A beachfront resort in Zephyrus bay, about 10 km west of Kyrenia, with its own sandy beach and pier — ceremony and celebration can both sit right by the water.
Being on the beach means no drive between ceremony, portraits and party: you are in one place all day, so the timeline can be built around the light rather than around transport.
Light
The coast faces north: sea to the north, the Beşparmak ridge to the south. Midday sun comes from straight overhead and it is hard — a white dress blows out, eyes fall into shadow. The useful window is the last ninety minutes before sunset. The season moves the sun too: in summer it sets west-north-west into the sea, in winter west-south-west over land. Seven in the evening in June and in November are not the same photograph.
The pier and the sand give a clean open horizon near sunset — the best backdrop here for couple portraits. The pool and garden side offers tree shade in the middle of the day.
Practical
Capacity, noise and curfew rules, drone permission — those are the venue's own policies and they change. I would rather not invent them: ask the venue directly, send me the answer, and we plan from the same information.
Practical notes
