An Old Hollywood wedding at La Quinta Resort
This Saturday I headed down to Palm Desert to the beautiful La Quinta Resort to photograph the wedding of Meredith and Ryan. The inspiration for their day was Old Hollywood meets gourmet BBQ. Meredith looked every bit the part of a 1940’s actress in her flowing white dress adorned with sparkling jewels. The bridesmaid’s complimented Meredith perfectly in classic black dresses and 1940’s style hair. Ryan was quite the handsome groom with his tailored suit and horseshoe cufflinks (A popular Irish wedding tradition is to give horseshoes as wedding gifts…good job Meredith!). The grounds were elegantly decorated with tables draped in black and white linens, porcelain vases filled with yellow lilis, and tables named after famous Hollywood couples. They even had a vintage photobooth as well as classic Hollywood movies projected on the side of the hacienda for all of their guests to watch. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception filled with family and friends who toasted, danced, and even sang, to celebrate Meredith and Ryan’s marriage. It was such a great time and we wish you both a happy and healthy new life together!
Here are a few of our Red Loft Studios favorites.
The ceremony was held at St. Francis Church.
WE Entertainment was on hand to film the wedding for a show that will be airing in a few months.
Here are some details from the day….
Doris Day and Rock Hudson greeted guests at one of the tables.

The most important part of the details was left out, who was the designer of the gown that the bride Meredith was wearing? It’s absolutely stunning! Congrats!
