On Sunday I met up with Jennifer and Brian for their afternoon engagement session in San Diego. We literally just beat the rain! It started to sprinkle for our last few shots. We had such a blast hanging out despite the pending doom of a storm. Jennifer and Brian are so cute together and VERY good looking so it made it that much easier for me to shoot. They definitely have chemistry together and it really shows in how playful they are together. I feel so lucky to have met them and even luckier that I’ll be a part of their big day. I can’t wait to meet all of their family and friends. I’m sure they’re just as sweet as they are!

Congratulations you two!

Here are a few of our Red Loft Studios favorites from the day.

You gotta love Balboa Park. There are great spots everywhere!

Point Loma had some beautiful waters that day!

Woo Hoo….we just beat the rain!

Cute little Madison made her very first Red Loft Studios modeling debut. She is quite possibly one of the most mellow babies I’ve ever seen. I think she secretly has a passion to be in front of the camera. It was amazing how she looked right at the lens and gave me some great smiles. She’s only a few months old so that’s quite impressive! The family and I had so much fun braving the cold to get some beautiful fall shots and then they treated me to some super yummy Cuban food. Ahhh…you can’t get much better than that. Congrats to Charmaine and Hubert on the new addition to the family!

Madison is lucky to have such a cool older brother.

Last Friday I photographed the beautifully embellished winter wedding of Caitlin and John at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. If you love the idea of a white Christmas in California, this wedding would have blown your socks off! Caitlin and John’s vision was exactly what a winter wedding should be; tons of flocked Christmas trees, garland for miles, wintery snowflakes, glimmering crystals, beautifully wrapped presents, exquisite food and extremely content guests. Caitlin was a vision in white and her dress matched the occasion flawlessly. John was resplendent in black, complementing his beautiful bride perfectly! It was apparent where the couple’s style originated once I met both of their families. Let’s just say good looks and style run in the family! I feel so honored to have been a part of Caitlin and John’s wedding and I know they will have a lifelong love story. Congratulations you two!

Today I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Cooke girls again. We usually meet up for a photo shoot once a year and just like in the past, these beauties totally shine in front of the camera. Not only are they the sweetest little things, but they are also full of energy and life. It’s not hard to get a fabulous photo of any of these girls! It was really fun to see each of their individual personalities come out as the shoot progressed. I feel so fortunate to be able to document the lives of such a wonderful family.

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of sharing in the wonderful wedding celebration of Carla and Matt. Friends and family gathered at St. John Fisher church in Palos Verdes for an intimate ceremony and later joined the newlyweds for some serious partying at the Palos Verdes Country Club. It was a gorgeous fall day and we had a blast walking the greens in search for the best photo opportunities. My favorite moments from the day were straight from the heart. Carla’s sister sang an amazing rendition of “Nothing at All” during their first dance and later Carla treated her new husband with a special hula. This is one seriously talented family. The day was so full of love. I am so happy to be part of such a beautiful day. Congratulations Carla and Matt!

I met up with little Jake and Emerson for the second part of their baby photo shoot. We invited their parents along and we had a ton of fun hanging at the Norman P. Murray Senior Center in Mission Viejo. There are trails, pathways and a canyon filled with fall leaves and cool bridges. We made our way through the park and found spots to let the kids play and get some photos. It’s pretty cute seeing these two together and seeing how much they’ve grown since our last shoot. I know these two are going to be best buds when they grow up and although they won’t remember this photo shoot, they’ll have these cute pics to rememeber how funny they were together.
