SoCal Inspired Photoshoot | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer Becca Rillo

Becca December 27, 2011

For the SoCal bride who dreams of a white wedding, this one's for you!

Couples whose weddings occur around the holidays often feel limited in their décor and design options to colors such as forest green and burgundy, and things that shine, jingle or have evergreen foliage. Our goal was to set these love-birds free into the world of styling options available to them, giving a nod to the holiday season, but setting their wedding apart. We hoped to inspire couples to think outside the box (a wrapped Christmas present of course!) and give a SoCal style holiday wedding a try. Through this shoot, we hoped to create a wedding for a couple who wants to embrace all the goodness and warmth this season has to offer but is unique, modern, fresh and fun!

Having a January wedding? Just take out the Christmas presents and voila! You're left with the stunning, winter-wonderland wedding that you've always dreamed of..

The exact gown that our lovely bride is modeling is available for purchase here!

Lukas & Susannah | French Inspired Shoot on Style Me Pretty | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer Becca Rillo

Becca November 1, 2011

Oh my goodness! This was one of the most beautiful, inspiring photo shoots that I've even been a part of. I'm so thankful to my models for the day, Lukas and Suzy (who are totally amazing photographers, too!) because they filled in for me 2 days before the shoot when my original models dropped out. Well... OBVIOUSLY I couldn't be happier about the last minutes switch up because they were just perfect. **love you guys**

See what Archive Vintage Rentals had to say about the shoot!

Jeff & Holly | Dodger Stadium Wedding | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer Becca Rillo

Becca September 27, 2011

Holly is such a sweet, all-around perfect person. She is one of the most talented photographers I know and she is madly in love with Jeff! Now, I don't know too much about Jeff.. (he's more on the shy side) but I know that he loves Holly like you would not believe! Take that kind of unconditional love, throw in a ridiculous passion for the Dodgers, sprinkle in some fabulous vendors, Vera Wang and oh.. I don't know.. DODGER STADIUM?! The outcome is nothing short of amazing.

Styled Shoot | The Princess & the Pea | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer Becca Rillo

Becca March 28, 2011

Whew! Well, I'm sure you all have noticed some big changes around the blog. Specifically..everything! I finally figured out what I was doing and put together an official website (which you can find if you click my logo at the top of the page) and I couldn't be happier with it! New branding, new colors, new look, new website.. I'm glad to be starting out fresh. Now I just have to go through and re-watermark all of my photos on here, but that's just too much work for my tired eyes at the moment..

So here we go: The moment you all have been waiting for.. The Princess & the Pea! I have had the opportunity to work with an insanely talented group of girls in the past couple of months. We have had so much fun brainstorming, plotting and exchanging late-night e-mails! I'm glad to know these girls and you can find them all listed at the bottom of the photos.

When I originally thought of this idea I wasn't exactly sure how it was all going to come together. I considered picking up old mattresses from Craigslist or even pulling the mattress off of my own bed! However, at the last moment I decided to go with air-mattresses that I borrowed from friends! So although it was incredibly unstable, it looked fantastic. When I think of fairy tales I think of bright colors, so that was the main inspiration for the overall aesthetic of this shoot. We wrapped the mattresses with antique chenille bedspreads and threw in some bobbley yarn for good measure! Obviously since I love vintage, we though in a vintage twist with rentals but kept it bright and modern with fun florals! I can't get over how much I love the purple pokey flowers that are in the bouquet.

Our models, Hope and John, are happily engaged and will be tying the knot in October! Hope was such a gorgeous model as she posed on the unstable pile of mattresses, and John just made us laugh the whole time. We loved working with both of them and wish them all of the happiness in the world!
