Marie and Rex’s Kissa Tanto wedding was nothing short of special. They had an intimate beach ceremony in Vancouver, surrounded by their closest friends, family, and their beloved dog, Hector. Their wedding day was all about keeping things relaxed and personal. After the ceremony, they played a quick game of basketball before heading to Chinatown BBQ for a family-style meal.
For their reception, they chose Kissa Tanto, a hidden gem in Vancouver that feels like stepping into a stylish Hong Kong film. With its warm ambient lighting, vintage-inspired decor, and rich colour tones, it creates an atmosphere straight out of a Wong Kar-Wai movie. As a photographer, I was immediately drawn to the cinematic mood of the space, capturing moments that felt effortlessly timeless.
Adding a personal touch, Kissa Tanto crafted a signature his & hers cocktail, alongside an array of vibrant and colourful drinks. Thoughtful details like these made the night even more special, enhancing the intimate and interactive vibe of the celebration.
Why Have a Kissa Tanto Wedding?
If you’re dreaming of a romantic, cozy wedding reception in Vancouver, Kissa Tanto is a perfect choice. Unlike traditional sit-down dinners, the venue’s layout encourages mingling, making the night feel personal and warm. It’s an amazing alternative for couples who want an intimate wedding with a stylish, romantic and vintage aesthetic.
As a wedding photographer, I loved capturing a wedding in such a thoughtfully designed space. One where I could move seamlessly between guests, documenting moments in an unobtrusive way while feeling like a part of the celebration itself.
