Michael and Zohar recently got married and I had the pleasure of being a part of their big day. I have known both Michael and Zohar for many years and I felt honored when they asked me to take their wedding photos. Personally, I wouldn’t have had it any other way! They are both hard working medical students and they had family and friends join them from all over the world to help them celebrate. It was so heartwarming to see the amount of people who’s lives have been touched by Michael and Zohar. Separately they are amazing, but together they are awesome! You can tell how in love these two are when they look at each other. During the ceremony Michael could barely hold back his tears. It was the sweetest thing! (That was too much for me to bear, and so my tears stared flowing too!) The reception was filled with just as much emotion as family and friends read their toasts and a video was played of guests from afar wishing the couple congratulations. We wish you the best Michael and Zohar!

Jasmeen and Brad’s wedding in Long Beach was a ton of fun! It was at Jasmeen’s aunt’s house and the home was FULL of Jasmeen and Brad’s family and friends. Jasmeen and Brad are teachers who live in Senegal West Africa so along with the local guests, people flew in from North Carolina and even West Africa!! Needless to say, that meant that the guests were ready to party! The dance floor was packed, the food was amazing, and the music was an awesome mix of African, hip hop, blue grass, and country. What an amazing way to celebrate such a beautiful couple! And they truly are an amazing couple. They are so in love and it shows in the way the two interact with each other. They are also the most gracious hosts and I was treated like a guests from the moment I got there. I ate some pretty great food and laughed and cried with the rest of the bunch. I’m so happy for Jasmeen and Brad and know that they will have an incredible life together.

Here are some of our Red Loft Studios favorites.

The ceremony was held on the front lawn under a beautiful old tree.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of being a part of Lucy and Tom’s wedding weekend. The party started on Friday night at the Jonathan Club in Malibu. That fabulous party was followed by their ceremony on Saturday at St. Monica’s Church in Santa Monica and a reception at the Los Angeles Country Club. It was a beautiful couple of days and the guests had a blast. Lucy and Tom were so relaxed and fun and it was so nice to see them laughing and joking around with everyone. They really were enjoying every aspect of their wedding. Lucy and Tom are so sweet and I had a ton of fun being a part of their day. I wish you guys the best of luck!

A Bat Mitzvah is a special time in girl’s life when she is officially seen as an adult member of her community. Its a beautiful religious ceremony followed by an amazing party. Recently, I had the pleasure of taking part in Sloane’s Bat Mitzvah at Cafe La Boheme in West Hollywood. Sloane was so impressive as she read from the Torah, sang the blessings and gave a heartfelt speech about service to one’s community. She is such a mature and beautiful person. You could really feel the love in the room for such a special girl.

After the ceremony friend and family were treated to a beyond fabulous party. The already decadent cafe was adorned with candelabras, a hip lounge set up and fun and games for the kids. It was as if the famed Moulin Rouge was transported from Paris just for Sloane. Everyone had a blast indulging in treats and dancing the night away. What an amazing event!

Congratulations to Sloane and her family on this wonderful rite of passage.

I recently photographed the wedding of Ashley and Matt at Shutters in Santa Monica. It was such a great wedding to be a part of. Both the bride and groom were so relaxed and calm. It really set the tone for a fantastic day. Ashley had the most gorgeous dress with the cutest silver flower embellishment. Matt was just as dashing in his classic black suite and personalized cufflinks. The day could not have been any more perfect either. The sky was a beautiful blue and the weather was the most even keeled I’d seen it in weeks. Ashley and Matt were brave enough to hit the Santa Monica pier and walk around with all of the tourists. It was hilarious to see everyone taking photos of them! They were such good sports and I really love the playful photos of the two of them on the boardwalk. They are naturals in front of the camera and they swore to me that they weren’t! Congratulations you guys and thanks for having me as a part of your day!

I recently had the pleasure of being a part of Adam’s 13th birthday celebration…his Bar Mitzvah. The Bernstein family holds a place in our heart since a few years ago Katie photographed older brother Corey’s Bar Mitzvah. They have such an amazing family and it is a joy to be around them. Adam is quite extraordinary for a 13 year. He is extremely gifted in the arts. Not only did his singing during the Bar Mitzvah blow me away, but so did his dancing at the party after the ceremony. I also found out that he is a well known actor. He has appeared in several hollywood arenas including numerous Burger King commercials and he even appeared in one of my favorite movies, “Funny People”. So you’d probably think he was a spoiled brat, right? Well, he’s just the opposite. He is kind, thoughtful, loving, charming, gracious, and above all he loves his family. He was very appreciative of the hard work his family had put into such a beautiful event. I have to admit that I cried during the ceremony when Adam’s parents spoke about what a wonderful son he was. It made me think of my own son and how one day I hope he would feel just as loved as Adam is! Mazeltov Adam!

After the ceremony, everyone headed to The Mark for some good food, good music, and of course fantastic dancing!
