STUDIO GABRIEL
Cyprus wedding photography & film
PHOTOGRAPHED AS IT HAPPENS
A wedding photography and film studio working across Cyprus — from the zomata at your homes to the last hour of light on the coast. We photograph what is actually happening rather than staging a version of it.
THE FILM AND THE PHOTOGRAPHS
UNPOSED, UNHURRIED, ENTIRELY YOURS
I work as a documentary photographer. The pictures worth having are almost never the ones anyone asked for — the half-second before someone realises they are about to cry, the grandmother watching from the side of the room.

ACROSS THE ISLAND
Nothing arranged, nothing repeated, and nothing you had to pose for.
The zomata at each of your homes. The church. The xeretisi, which takes more of the evening than anyone expects. Then the light goes long and gold, and for twenty minutes the island does the work for us.
From the first light in the room to the last hour on the coast.
A YEAR ON THE ISLAND
