JESSICA + RISHI – Kashmir, India

What can I say about these two special friends that are close to my heart? They are two of the most kind, caring and generous people I know. I wouldn’t have missed their wedding in Kashmir, India for the world. The wedding was beautiful, full of rich crisp colours, and the turning of the leaves made an amazing backdrop for their portrait shots. Having the ceremony and celebrations at Rishi’s family’s retreat, Green Acres, made it feel even more welcoming and special. I hope to go back there one day. 

Stay tuned for some more pictures on my travels through India.

“Hug hug, kiss kiss, hug hug, big kiss, little hug, kiss kiss, little kiss.” :P

September 3, 2009 - 11:37 pm Jessica - I love the pic of the bride looking down! You pics are wonderful, really breath taking!

July 20, 2009 - 2:35 pm Deborah Black - Lisa, these are breathtaking.

July 20, 2009 - 12:57 pm Jessica - I am SO blessed that Adam and you were able to be there for our wedding. The photos you took were icing on the cake. You've captured these very special moments that we will cherish forever. Love you! XOXO Jess

July 17, 2009 - 1:34 pm Wyatt - Great pics sister! The hands pic is my fav!

July 16, 2009 - 10:12 pm Adam - Amanda is right, you took a lot of amazing shots...sadly your blog would be huge if you posted them all!! Excellent work!

July 14, 2009 - 12:16 pm Amanda - Out of this entire album I can't figure out which is my favorite. The hands photo is up there though. You did such an amazing job at this wedding Lisa it's hard to pick only one favorite.

HOLA CUBA!

Since the subject of my first post was about a wedding in Cuba, I thought I would continue with an additional Cuba post. 

While waiting for Amy and Damis’ special day to arrive, a group of us took an early morning day trip into the countryside which included our own rented jeeps! – that was one of the main selling features of the package! We all followed our tour guide off the main roads, made stops in small villages, schools and farms to learn about Cuba and their culture. Some of our activities included: a visit to a coffee plantation, horse-back riding, lunch on a hill-top, viewing of a Christopher Columbus landmark, and watching a historical dance ritual for marriage – just to name a few. Needless to say by the time we made it back to the resort that evening we were all happily exhausted and looking forward to a dip in the pool.

Here are a few pictures from that memorable day. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I got kisses from a couple of the marriage show dancers...oooo la laaaa!  ;P

AMY + DAMIS – Playa Costa Verde, Cuba

This past January I was asked to be the photographer for my fiancee’s good friend Amy. When she asked me I was honoured! Not only was I flattered that she asked me but I was ecstatic because the wedding was going to be in Cuba! How exciting! Just as the winter blues set in, a trip away to a bright sunny, sandy beach would be the best fix.

Even with the sunny days and warm weather at our fingertips, the beach and sea still call to me. Here are some pictures I’d like to share from their wedding at beautiful Playa Costa Verde Resort. Needless to say, with a guest list of 90 and a hot looking bride and groom, the week in Cuba was amazing! Thanks for the great time Amy and Damis!
