On Sunday I got a chance to hangout with Cynthia and Andre to shoot their engagements. We started at El Dorado Park for a woodsy nature feel then we headed to Seal Beach for romantic sunset shots. It was the first time in awhile they had time off together, as you can see in the pictures they couldnt stop kissing, hugging, or holding hands. This couple has known each other since high school and still are crazy about each other. I had so much fun with them I cant wait until their wedding next month in Downtown Los Angeles.

Here are some Red Loft Studios favorites:

Saturday Suemee and Ritsu hosted friends and family at the Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica to celebrate their marriage. The Fairmont’s lush gardens created a relaxed but intimate vibe for the ceremony. Vows were exchanged at sunset and then guests were treated to an amazing night of dinner, dancing and gaming! Suemee and Ritsu brought in so many details, which honored their families’ heritages. Half way through the reception Suemee and Ritsu changed in to traditional Japanese wedding wear and toasted to their guests with sake poured through a koi inspired ice sculpture. Suemee’s beautiful kimono was borrowed from Ritsu mother who wore it in her twenties. My favorite moments of the evening came straight from the heart. As a surprise to Suemee, Ritsu not only learned to play the piano but also to sing is Korean and serenaded Suemee. Not to be outdone by the groom, the groomsmen performed “More Than Words” by Eric Clapton. Later in the evening guests enjoyed mini green tea cheesecakes handmade by Ritsu. The night was just getting started and Suemee had on her second gorgeous wedding gowns when Charity and I waved goodbye. No doubt the newlyweds and their guests continued to eat, drink and merry into the wee hours of the morning. Congratulations to Suemee and Ritsu!!!

Todays the first annual Park[ing] Day LA which was started in San Francisco by the Rebar Group “to rethink the way streets are used, call attention to the need for urban parks, and improve the quality of urban human habitat….at least until the meter runs out!
“-Rebar Group

Our neighbor Andreas from Anthem Magazine was hosting a meter complete with BBQ and Dog Park. Jenny and I decided to head downtown and join in the festivities.

We’re looking forward to having our own Red Loft meter spot next year!

On Sunday I spent the morning with the Christopher family at El Dorado’s Nature Center. It was the perfect backdrop for this adorable family. Little man Tate had so much energy, we chased him around the entire shoot. He had this amazing vintage looking car that he was riding along the path. We first got to know Jen and John a few years ago when we shot their wedding and then got to know them better when Jen’s company JLoop designed our awesome website. It’s always fun to watching our client’s families grow. I had so much fun with this energetic family I can’t wait for next time.

One of our really cool clients Jennifer Breuklander got wind of the fact that we have a daily guilty pleasure…..DAYS OF OUR LIVES! Since Jennifer works on the set, she was able to ask our most favorite man of Salem for an autograph! JOHN BLACK.

Check out how cool he looks on our mantle….chest hair and all. Yeow!
Thanks Jennifer….we love the pic!

Saturday Charity and traveled to Huntington Beach for Suzette and Johnny’s wedding. Both Suzette and Johnny love the ocean and all things beach so what better place for them to celebrate their wedding day than seaside at the Huntington Beach Waterfront Hilton. We had so much fun on the beach with the wedding party. I loved how playful everyone was. Especially Suzette and Johnny who trekked down to the water for some amazing photos. The Mariachi band guided us back to the hotel for a rock’n reception.
