Recently I had the honor of photographing Elizabeth and Kyle’s wedding in Calistoga, California. The whole day was full of family memories that made their wedding very personal. Kyle’s uncle gave their vows at the same church Elizabeth was baptised at. My personal favorite was when Elizabeth walked down the isle to a beautiful string rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin.” I found myself silently singing along. It was beautiful, and as she walked down the isle she was filled with tears! After six years of being together Elizabeth and Kyle celebrated their marriage in style a the Culinary Institute of America. It was a gorgeous setting including a surprise bagpiper for Kyle that led them into the dining hall. Their friends and family danced the night away!

Congratulations you two! Thanks for letting me be a part of your beautiful wedding!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting up with Tony and Christina to shoot their engagement photos in Venice beach at the canals. It was so much fun getting to hang out with the two of them and look at all of the amazing houses. Tony is going to school to be an architect so it was especially fun to hear him talk about all of the amazing architecture on some of these homes. Tony and Christina are so cute together and it makes me smile to be a part of two people getting read to spend the rest of their lives together (I’m such a sap!).

On Friday I met up with Colby, our Red Loft Studios intern for the summer, and her family for a beach portrait session. We love Colby to death and now I know where she gets her awesomeness….from her parents. They are just as sweet and funny as she is. Her brothers are also pretty cool too. I have never seen siblings so nice to each other before. And Colby says her brothers are super loving all the time. Wow! Take it from me, a sister to two brothers and two sisters, that is rare! I feel so honored to have met Colby and her family and to be a part of documenting this time in their lives. Thanks for your hard work Colby and thanks to your family for making me laugh so hard throughout our photo shoot.

Former Red Lofters Brianna and Jason had a baby girl 3 months ago. Little Emerson is a cutie pie for sure and we absolutely needed to capture her in all of her 3 month old glory. Emerson also brought along her older cousin Jake who is 5 months old. Jake is a looker too, and I couldn’t resist taking a ton of pictures of these babies. It’s a funny thing that since I’m now a mommy, I just can’t get enough baby time (even if they aren’t my own). Congratulations to both families. Thanks for letting me be a part of their first photo shoot!

Check out some of my Red Loft favorites of the day.

Last Saturday Eva and I joined Jenni and Carlton at the Summit House in Fullerton for their beautiful wedding. Jenni and Carlton have been sweethearts for years and when they decided to say “I do” they did it with a style all their own. Everyone who knows Jenni and Carlton know that they are HUGE Angels fans so it seems fitting that they incorporate their favorite team in their special day. I love when weddings have unique flavor and these two really incorporated their theme in fun ways. Jenni and Carlton thought of every detail. Only thing missing were the peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Congratulations you two!

Suzette and Johnny, former Red Lofters, were married in 2007 and now add baby Drake to the family. Drake is turning one and so we had the honor of documenting this extremely fun age. We met up at the park and let Drake do his thing. He is just learning to walk so it was fun to see him make his way across the grass to mommy and daddy. Drake is a serious cutie pie and I’m so happy I got to meet him and spend some time getting to know him.

Drake gets some daddy time!

Yummy!

Momma’s little boy.
