On Tuesday I made my way to Beverly Hills to the beautiful El Cielo Resturaunt for a bridal shower. The bridal shower was for Sarah and Shervin who’s wedding is later this month. It was a great location to host a bridal shower because it is very intimate. Sarah had a suprise when Shervin showed up with all of the guys to sit and have dinner. Once Shervin arrived the dancing began and everyone hit the dance floor to celebrate the first event in Sarah and Shervin’s wedding month.

We wish you the best Sarah and Shervin!

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

On Saturday I met Vicki and Tom at the Long Beach Aquarium to photograph their wedding. This is a very unique and fun place to shoot. It’s full of vibrant color and of course tons of different aquariums. We had a great time taking advantage of everything there. First we started at Shoreline Park to get some fun shots of the wedding party before we headed to the aquarium for the ceremony. This crowd was so much fun and adventurous and really just up for anything I asked for. It made for an awesome day of shooting. And let’s not forget Vicki and Tom who are just the cutest couple ever. They have such a sweet connection with each other… you know, the kind that can get you all teary eyed. Congratulations you two!

On Saturday I made the drive to wine country in Temecula to photograph Kristen and Danny’s wedding at Oak Meadows. This place is gorgeous! And it was a perfect match that I also had a gorgeous bride and groom there to photograph. And let’s not forget Kristen’s daughter, Chaslyn, who looked like a little princess. She was so darn cute I couldn’t stop taking pictures of her. And I really loved how Chaslyn was included in every little detail of the day. It really was a marriage of a family. I was so touched throughout the day that I shed more than just a few tears. What a beautiful family they’ve created together. I’d wish them all luck but I know they don’t need it so I’ll offer my congratulations instead.

During the ceremony Danny got down on one knee and presented Chaslyn with a necklace.

She was overwhelmed with emotion.

Chaslyn wanted to thank everyone for coming… Too cute!

Stacey and Jason said I do overlooking the Los Angeles valley at the beautiful Bel Air Presbyterian church Saturday amongst family and friends. After the ceremony we cruised down the 101 to downtown L.A.’s Cafe Pinot for a night of dinner and dancing. The skyscrapers and art deco downtown library set the stage for an elegant evening under the stars. Stacey and Jason showcased their swing dancing skills during their first dance. Their guests cheered the two on as they glided around the dance floor. They were so amazing. I am hoping they will teach me a few of their moves. My favorite moment of the event came as Jason gave a heartfelt toast to “the woman of his dreams.” Such a beautiful wedding. Thanks so much to Stacey and Jason for having us share in their special day.

Last Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Gay and Jon’s very intimate wedding at Relais du Soleil in Sonoma. They recently moved back to the United States after spending two years in New Zealand. Friends and family came in from all over, many which hadn’t seen the couple in a long time. It was the sweetest and most relaxing day… Gay started crying while walking down the isle followed by Jon’s tears after the ceremony. Their rings were made out of different types of wood symbolizing the places that have touched their hearts. Including wood indigenous to New Zealand and bamboo to signify their time in Asia. The food was amazing, as one would expect since Gay is a chef. A huge vegetable paella was served followed by a delicious vegan ice cream dessert. What an amazing day shared with all their loved ones. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it! Congratulations Gay and Jon!!

Tammy and I drove up to Malibu on Saturday to photograph the wedding of Meagan and Ryan.
Their wedding took place at the Malibu Nature Preserve and the location had an absolutely gorgeous view. As if being in Malibu wasn’t enough, all of the guests were caravanned to the very top of the nature preserve. It was the perfect amount of sun, breeze and bright, blue sky. It looked like someone had painted a backdrop for them. We couldn’t have asked for a better location.
After the wedding Meagan and Ryan had a great added detail, cigar rollers. It was such a great idea! There’s just certain things you need to celebrate with a cigar and marriage is one of them.

Congratulations you guys! Here are a few of our Red Loft favorites.

Isn’t Tiler adorable?
