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!

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.

A little behind-the-scenes action with Alex!

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!

Nate & Molly: Married! | Santa Clarita, California | Los Angeles Wedding Photographer Becca Rillo

Becca October 11, 2010

I'm an Etsy Whore. I'll just put that out there to start with, I am obsessed with Etsy. Homemade, totally creative headbands, decorations, home goods, wedding stuff. Everything :) If I had unlimited funds to decorate my home, I would decorate everything with Etsy stuff, well.. that and Anthropologie, but that's another blog post all together. This wedding was super cute! With a "Lovebirds" themed wedding, you seriously can't go wrong. Emilee Sutherland is the creative mastermind behind Tasteful Tatters and she kicked butt with this wedding. She custom made the bride's veil and coordinated all of the other decorations with a wonderful team of family and friends. Poor thing, I thought her feet were going to fall off at the end of the night from all of the running back and forth. But she was invaluable to Nate + Molly, and I don't even think that they fully realize everything that she did for them. The night couldn't have happened without her. Seriously, if you need a coordinator or if you need help styling your wedding, get in touch with Emilee. For reals.

Anyhow, enjoy the photographs of the newly married, Mr. & Mrs. Reynolds!
