A Sunset to Themselves: Bethanie & Jamie at Coral Residence

As the sun dropped over the sea at Coral Residence, Bethanie and Jamie slipped away for a few quiet minutes in the golden light — just the two of them, the rocks, and the last of the day.

A Sunset to Themselves: Bethanie & Jamie at Coral Residence

Golden hour at Coral Residence

Some of our favourite moments of any wedding happen in the quiet stretch after the celebration settles — when the light turns gold, the pace slows, and a couple finally gets a few minutes that belong only to them. For Bethanie and Jamie, that moment came at the water's edge at Coral Residence on 8 June 2026.

As the sun dropped low over the sea, we walked them down to the rocks for golden hour. Bethanie's veil and train swept across the stone; Jamie in soft ivory; the Mediterranean glowing behind them. No crowd, no schedule — just the two of them and the last warm light of their wedding day.

It was a privilege to bring this day together. Marry Me Cyprus handled the planning, styling and dressing throughout, and we're so grateful to Bethanie and Jamie for letting us be part of it. Here's the sunset, more or less as it happened.
