Behind the Scene: Akrotiri Lake Wedding Editorial

Yesterday I spent time with a photographer friend who told me that she is impatiently waiting to see photos I have done in Cyprus with beautiful Litous wedding dresses.
As I am having a hard time to select only the best photos from that shooting because each one is so gorgeous, I want to share a few behind the scene photos until the final ones come! :)

I have met Cristian and Costas in Bucharest while attending Roberto Valenzuela wedding photography workshop. Since I planned my trip to Cyprus, we started talking about shooting an editorial together, and also, have some fun.

For our shooting location, we chose Akrotiri Salt Lake in Limassol, which is special for its vegetation and low shrubbery. The lake itself is pretty much shallow; the water level over 50 percent of the lake is less than 30 centimeters deep. 

Crina Barbu was our makeup artist for this shooting and she did a wonderful job! Although we never worked together, she managed to do exactly what I had in my mind. Unfortunately, she was not able to spend time with us on a shooting, so I had to play makeup artist when changing lipstick colors. :)

I really need to thank Osan Suzana Shirinian for her help, patience and creativity. Despite a flat tire on her car, she maintained to keep a smile on her face and awesome energy whole day, so I really enjoyed having her on a set.

I want to thank each person who contributed to this shooting in any way. I am so happy I spent time with wonderful people exploring the most beautiful locations and doing a job which means the world to me!
