Katie and Joe’s Excellent Wedding

» Andrea

Last Saturday Katherine and I drove up to Malibu to photograph Katie and Joe’s wedding at the beautiful Adamson House. I love this location and was instantly excited when the couple told me they were getting married there. When we arrived, Katie was just putting on her gorgeous Nicole Miller gown. She looked just stunning in it! After a few shots of the bride and groom getting ready for the day, it was time for the exchanging of the rings which was held on the lawn under the old sycamore tree, overlooking the ocean. Friends of the couple performed the service, played the piano as they walked down the aisle and read a poem during the ceremony. During the cocktail hour Katie and Joe’s guests spent some time touring the historic Adamson home while we took a stroll around the property photographing the newly married couple.
The rest of their evening was spent dancing, laughing and enjoying homemade cupcakes. Katherine and I spent the rest of the night making sure we captured just how much fun they were having.

Congratulations to Katie and Joe!

Lindsey and Christopher at Descanso Gardens

» Tammy

On Saturday I headed to Descanso Gardens in La Canada to photograph Lindsey and Christopher’s wedding. This is a beautiful and serene location to exchange vows. The ceremony was held in an open field surrounded by lush trees and a Coy pond. And just a few steps away was a gorgeous Japanese garden complete with foot bridges and winding paths. And let’s not forget how amazing Lindsey looked in her champagne colored dress… breathtaking! And Christopher was GQ’ing it in his suit and tie. I must say that these two are fabulous! And so are their family and friends. This crowd really knows how to have a good time. Once we made it to the reception it was non-stop dancing in between some very comedic toasts. And it didn’t stop there, the after party headed to the Langham hotel in Pasadena where the fun continued. I’m so glad I got to share in this day with them. It was a blast! Congratulations you two.

A walk in the park with the Stratfords

Yesterday afternoon I met with Greg and Miranda and their two adorable daughters Charlotte and Pfeiffer to take some family photos. Charlotte has a ton of energy and was way more interested in the playground than the photos, but I managed to follow her around and sneak a few. Pfeiffer, who is only 10 months, was a cutie pie and allowed me to take some photos of her. She can’t run yet so she was stuck with me! Greg and Miranda were good sports as well and I followed them around while they played with their daughters. It was a lot of fun and the next shoot is at their cool retro 1950′s house! I can’t wait.

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

Sara & Josh Share the Love at the Nixon Library

I think most people will agree that when their mom sets them up on a blind date no good could possible come of it. However this past Saturday Sara and Josh silenced the myth when they tied the knot three years after their mom influenced blind date. The proud mamas were beaming as they watched Sara and Josh exchange personal vows at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. I teared up as Josh vowed to be Sara’s husband and best friend for life. After the ceremony guests roamed the grounds and museum as we played around taking photos. Sara and Josh and their parents orchestrated such a beautiful day. The evening’s highlights were gorgeous flowers from Stems florist, a massive candy buffet (yummy), and an oh so cute cake provided by Jason’s Catering. The guests boogied down late in the evening to the tunes of Invisible Touch. Everyone was having such a great time I didn’t want the night to end. Congratulations to Sara, Josh and their moms on a match well made!

The ceremony took place overlooking the beautiful grounds.

Sara and Josh honored their matchmaking moms with a rose ceremony.


I am a HUGE fan of funky footwear. Sara and the girls donned pink all stars while Josh sported the traditional black. So cute!

The reception was decked out in chocolate brown and pink details. My fav…the adorable cake of course.

And the award for best dressed guests go to…

Ok, so I may be a little biased because Miles is my nephew, but how cute is this kid? I had to share some photos of the little guy. He is such a mellow and happy baby and I just wanna eat him up! MUAH….

Miles is the new addition to the Red Loft baby crew. Check out some of our favorites from the day.

Owen loves his little brother Miles.

So does his mama.

I love those thunder thighs!

Susan and Michael’s day of photos

» Jenny

Today I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Susan and Michael. We wanted to capture the look of vintage/romantic so we headed to UCLA to utilize the archways, columns, long hallways, and expansive garden areas. After grabbing a few shots on campus, we made our way to Union Station to take care of the vintage part of our shoot. It is such a great location because of the building’s history. It was built in 1939 and is known as the “Last of the Great Railway Stations”. All I know is that the lighting in the courtyards is phenomenal and Susan’s skin simply radiated in the photos. Michael didn’t look too shabby himself and he was quite the arm candy for Susan! This is one great looking couple and I love how the photos turned out! Now I can’t wait to see how gorgeous the two of them are on their wedding day.

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