Richmond Wedding Photographer // Lisa & Mark

January 31, 2011

They say that rain on a wedding day is a sign of fantastic fortune. If rain for the week leading up to the wedding day holds true as well, Mark and Lisa will undoubtably have eternal happiness.

We didn’t have perfect weather for their engagement session, so TO THE AIRPORT WE HEADED. We didn’t have a lot of time for their wedding portraits, so beside the airport we headed. Iona Beach is located right next to the Vancouver airport and close to Lisa and Mark’s wedding reception in Richmond, so we felt this theme was our lucky charm with them.

In fact, the airport theme wasn’t inappropriate at all. Lisa and Mark lived apart for some time, and dated online via Skype, which they called Skating. Hardcore Skating, that is.

So, we approached their wet wedding day with our creative juices flowing, and thank these two wonderful people for trusting us with our ideas.

  3. Gemma

    beautiful set! my two favourites are from the getting-ready part of the day.... the one of her looking in the mirror and the one of him putting on his top hat.

  5. Shyann

    beautiful! your details are killer, the shoes on the piano? Awesome! The top hat? Stellar. Love the shot of them with all the negative space too

  7. Nessa K

    Truly, I love them all, but I especially love the top hat on the back of the couch. That photo feels like that static, quiet few minutes that happen before everyone walks out from getting ready. Really brilliant work.

  8. Jaimzh

    I dont know why but im really drawn to the shoes on the piano! Great work though you should be proud

  9. Darko

    There are so many awesome and unique shots here that it feels like the wedding was covered by an army of amazing photographers. Great job.

  10. Leo Druker

    Gorgeous storytelling with these. I love the triple shadow on the wall during the getting ready portion and really - the hat on the couch shot is amazing. Really great work on the portraits, especially the very last kiss.

  11. Amanda - sister to the bride

    I've been waiting and waiting to see these and you have delivered far beyond what I had hoped for! AMAZING and I can't wait to see the rest! You captured so many beautiful moments... I sigh blissfully at your work. Thank you for capturing their day. I'm definitely a fan.

    What an amazing set you guys have here. I particularly enjoy the filler shots which portray feeling and atmosphere so well. This is truly a refreshing take on Wedding photography. I also really liked the YVR shoot. Inspiring.

    Really amazing work. Lisa is such a gorgeous and beamy bride, that smile of hers just radiates! And I love her shoes, simple and elegant and probably much more comfy than heels! Like I said before, beautiful!

    So many great shots. And mirrors. And more mirrors. And mirrors within mirrors. And what is going on the with the swirly candle reflection?? I really don't get it. Amazing stuff.

  26. Wes

    Love your vision guys, great work! Love from Belgium!

  27. Amanda

    @Brian Kraft - I think the swirls under the candles are a reflection on the top of the grand piano... but still not sure why it created swirls... guys???

  28. Linus Moran

    Outstanding & breathtaking work. So creative yet classic, how do you manage it ?

  29. Anna & Derek

    Beautiful! I think you've really nailed the location for rainy day portraits! The open, empty road really works well with the overcast skies.. and looks really beautiful! Great work guys!
