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!

I know, I know… I have the best job in the world. I get to travel to gorgeous beaches and photograph some really awesome people. I’m definitely not complaining. So anyway, that’s exactly what I did last week. I traveled to Jamaica and I photographed the wedding of Margo and Jerome. They happen to be the coolest people on earth and I’m not just saying that since they flew us to Jamaica! Margo and Jerome are two people who were made for each other. Katie and I kept commenting how sweet they were together and how sweet they were to us. We felt like family from the second we arrived. Margo and Jerome celebrated their nuptials at one of the premiere hotels in Jamaica, The Rockhouse. This boutique hotel sits atop rocky cliffs which overlook the crystal blue waters of Pristine Cove in the city of Negril. It was the perfect setting for Margo and Jerome’s romantic wedding getaway. I have so many photos I want to share of this beautiful couple so check out some of our Red Loft Studios favorites.

JUNE 26th- Pre-Wedding Photo Shoot

We took some photos around the town of Negril on the day we arrived. What a blast!

And some entertainment from Negril’s very own Sexy Rexy!

JUNE 27th- The Wedding Day

The wedding day started very unconventionally with Margo and Jerome getting ready together in their room. I absolutely loved it! There’s nothing sweeter than sharing in the anticipation together.

Margo looked stunning in her Monique Lhuillier dress.

Jerome worked the handsome groom angle in a tan suit that matched perfectly with Margo’s dress.

The walls of the Rockhouse were perfect for photographs.

The ceremony was held on the wood hewn terrace.

JUNE 30- Post wedding exploring

After several days of laying by the pool, relaxing, and going to the spa, Katie and I headed out on a group excursion with Margo, Jerome and some of the guests.  With the help of Robert from Kenny Tours, we saw some of what the island has to offer; The Mayfield Falls, The Black River, the Appleton Rum Distillery, and my personal favorite, The Pelican bar.

The group…

Congratulations Margo and Jerome and thank you for including us in your magnificent Jamaican wedding.

This past weekend Kristi, Mike and I headed to Baker Beach to finish their engagement shoot. We missed the boat last time due to the fog in the bay, but Friday was gorgeous! It was absolutely perfect weather, well it was a little chilly and Kristi was quite the sport in her dress! They brought Morey out once again… he definitely has grown in these past monts, but still as rambunctious as ever! I can’t wait for their wedding THIS Friday at the Chateau St Jean in Sonoma. See you guys soon!

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!).

Last week I met up with Heather and Kevin in Manhattan Beach for their engagement session. They live in the area so it was the perfect spot to capture their personalities. We walked around a bit and got some shots of the cute little beach store fronts and some of the cool beach architecture. And Heather and Kevin were pros…. I mean seriously, look how cute they are together. Adorable! The photo ops seemed endless. I could’ve shot all day but we needed to wrap it up and head to the Hermosa Beach pier for sunset. We braved the wind and it was worth it for that amazing orange sky.

So I guess we didn’t break any records, but it was still a hot one out there today. My poor clients John and Caitlin braved the heat and hung out with me for the afternoon while I took their engagement photos. They were good sports and we had a lot of fun shooting around Pasadena. Caitlin is quite the ham and her giggling is infectious. I was cracking up the whole time and I think John, who is less of a ham but still great in front of the camera, caught a bit of the laughing bug too. We stopped at the place where Caitlin and John met for the first time. Actually it’s the place they re-met, since they have actually known each other since middle school but didn’t start dating until years after high school. It was fun seeing their old stomping grounds and just getting to know them better. They are so sweet and so in love with each other. You can’t help but smile when you see them together! Congrats you two.

This is actually the restaurant (well it used to be) where they ran into each other again after all those years.
