Day and night

Christie and Scott are from Canada, and they are such fun! Scott had us laughing all day long, and Christie always had a ready smile! They are a very laidback couple who married in the beautiful and relaxing setting of Marriott's Shadow Ridge Resort. Christie and Scott are an athletic couple, and they'd have to be, with their professions. Christie is a Mountie (member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) and Scott is a firefighter. Their goal was to have a relaxed, intimate and fun day. To cap off their event, they held a nighttime pool party at the resort. Christie surprised her guests by jumping into the pool with her gown on! She didn't just simply jump in, though. She did a cartwheel into the pool - now that's the way to "take the plunge!"

Our warmest wishes to Scott and Christie!

It was a beautiful day in Rancho Mirage for the wedding of Taryn and Keegan. Our couple came down from the Bay area to marry under the sunny skies at Rancho Las Palmas Resort. The color scheme was chocolate brown, champagne and white. Ultimate Events in Palm Desert designed the classically elegant bouquets and personal flowers. Lisa Acosta of Rancho Las Palmas made sure everything ran smoothly for Taryn and Keegan. The reception was held on the upper terrace under the stars with plenty of candlelight and lanterns to create a romantic ambience.

Our best wishes for happiness to Taryn and Keegan!

The Oh Family: Salton Sea


Time for the Ohs to capture their annual family portraits! Last year, we photographed them at the Parker Palm Springs. This time, the fashionable family was game for shooting their photos at the Salton Sea. These images were captured on 35mm and medium-format film. You can see that An and Mike have a great sense of humor, as well as a great sense of style. Family portraits in offbeat locations with some fun props and a change of wardrobe can make your images more unique and whimsical.

Sparkler send-off for Jim and Kristin

Kristin and Jim were married at the hilltop O'Donnell House in Palm Springs, California. With the assistance of Carla Domen and her fantastic team at GBK Weddings, the event proceeded beautifully. The sun slipped behind the mountains just as the ceremony began, bathing the guests and the lovely couple in soft light and comfortable shade. The color scheme was a vibrant combination of orange and fuchsia, with sheer orange overlays accenting white linens for a clean but colorful effect. The centerpieces incorporated flaming orange parrot tulips and cymbidium orchids submerged in water. The bride's bouquet and groom's boutonniere were composed of orange calla lilies. Live music entertained the guests during the reception, as family and friends dined from a sumptuous buffet.

Congratulations to Jim and Kristin on their new lives together!

Stephanie and Eric: The Mission Inn, Riverside

Wow! September is already here! Where did the summer go?

We wanted to share photos from this beautiful wedding at the historic Mission Inn Hotel and Spa in Riverside, California. Nader and I heavily considered the Mission Inn for our own wedding venue, going so far as to visit two separate times -- the first time with the idea we'd have a wedding with about 200 guests, and the second time trying to figure out if we could downsize our wedding to 20 guests! Crazy times. As much as we loved the history and beautiful architecture, we couldn't make it work for our event.

Stephanie and Eric, however, did make it work beautifully, and it was a gorgeous wedding to behold. Here's the proof. Click on the thumbnails to see the enlarged images.

We wish Stephanie and Eric a very happy and long life together!

Megan and Benjamin: Wedding Trailer

Megan + Benjamin's Sinatra Estate Wedding Trailer from PACIFIC PICTURES on Vimeo.

Several months ago, we wrote about the stylish Palm Springs wedding of Megan and Benjamin. The wedding was held at the former Frank Sinatra estate, Twin Palms, and it was an intimate celebration coordinated by Rochelle Marie's Events by Design. Portraits of the couple were taken at the equally stylish Riviera Resort and Spa while their guests enjoyed cocktails at the estate.

Megan and Benjamin chose Kevin Shaninian and his crew, Ben and Ari, from Pacific Pictures to document their wedding day as a movie. What Pacific Pictures creates is not simply a wedding video; the end result is a cinematic experience that brings to life all of the emotions and details of the day. Kevin has also directed several Bollywood concept movies for couples who want to star in a short film to show at their wedding reception as a surprise. You can view these Bollywood concept films and other work at Pacific Pictures' blog and website.

Enjoy the trailer!

Rami: In The Swing

These are some images we recently captured of our nephew, Rami, while at the park. They were captured on 35mm film (yes, it's still around!).

While we still own and love our digital camera equipment, we've come to prefer photographing weddings and kids with our film cameras. There's just something that, for us, is really compelling about the colors, skin tones and the overall look of film.

There are other reasons we've been switching over to film for and we will be sure to blog more about them in upcoming entires.

By the way, how cute is this little guy (ok, so we're a little biased)?!

For more photos from our afternoon at the park with Rami, please click on the thumbnails below.

Red Lantern Photography featured in The Bride & Bloom, Summer 2009

Cover of The Bride and Bloom Magazine, Summer 2009

Earlier this year, Carol Poon, the editor in chief of the gorgeous magazine, The Bride and Bloom, asked Nader to photograph an eight-page editorial layout for the Summer 2009 issue. The magazine has undergone a new, wider redesign, and I suggest going out and getting a copy (or two) before they're all gone!

The Riviera Resort and Spa in Palm Springs provided the eclectic, colorful backdrop for the shoot. It was a wonderful honor to be asked, and the day of the shoot was so fun! Very different from shooting a wedding in that we were able to take the time to perfect each shot and to have hair, makeup and styling assistance every step of the way. Everyone associated with the production of this spread was professional, fun and supportive.

Something to Hold: in Palm Springs, photographed by Nader Coobtee for The Bride and Bloom Magazine @ The Riviera Resort and Spa

The layout focuses on popular bouquet types with the current trend of short wedding dresses for the bride who wants something a little sassy and unique for her gown. The photo in the opening spread was taken in the Riviera's spectacularly tiled Spa Terre. The gown is by Reva Mivasagar, and it is just one of many amazing dresses (along with all the shoes and accessories) selected by stylist Melinda Tarbell.

Nosegay and cascade bouquets, Riviera lobby and poolside

The Riviera looks fabulous in person and in photos. The wide variety of locations made the Riviera a great location for the shoot. The luminescent lobby with the orange glow is one of my favorite locations at the resort because of the wonderful carved panels along the walls. The Sidebar, with its very cozy, wraparound booths gorgeously lit by sparkling chandeliers, creates an intimate ambience for those seeking a little more privacy.

Dramatic lighting at the Riviera's Sidebar and pool table

The lounge area behind the main lobby is a series of vignetted seating areas featuring different furniture and glittering portraits of fifties' and sixties' era celebrities like Sammy Davis, Jr. and Marilyn Monroe. If you look closely at the portraits, the faces are brought to life with tiny coins.

Red Lantern Photography is a Style Me Pretty Little Black Book vendor, so it was lovely to discover that Abby Larson, Style Me Pretty's founding blogger, and fellow LBB vendor, Lisa Vorce, of Oh, How Charming! Events are also featured in this issue.

It was a joy to be a part of this editorial shoot, and we so appreciate the creative inspiration and expertise of art director, Rose Cefalu; stylist, Melinda Tarbell, and her assistant, Chelsea Ray; makeup and hair artist, Yuji; and model, Heather Burton. Thank you to Tracey Jardin at the Riviera for providing access to the entire resort, and, finally, our sincerest thanks to Carol Poon for this amazing opportunity to be included in The Bride and Bloom.

We'll be posting some additional images from The Bride and Bloom shoot in the near future, so be sure to check our blog.

Courtney and David: Miramonte Resort in Indian Wells

Courtney and David at the Miramonte

It was a sunny Sunday in the desert for Courtney and David's wedding. They live in St. Louis, and they wanted a destination wedding that was casual, elegant, and, most of all, fun! With the expertise of Cathy O'Connell and Dorry Wynham of Celebrations of Joy, Courtney and David enjoyed a custom-tailored celebration at the Miramonte Resort and Spa in the heart of Indian Wells.

Preparing for the day

Courtney's parents have a beautiful home in Rancho La Quinta, and this is where Courtney's family and attendants got ready for the day. The atmosphere was very upbeat, yet relaxed. Samantha Bishop and John Hardin provided makeup and hair expertise for the group. The home's backyard opens onto the golf course, which made a scenic backdrop for our bride's family and group photos.

Floating orchids and hanging lanterns

David, his family and groomsmen prepared for the big day at the Miramonte Resort. David wore a sharp charcoal gray suit instead of the traditional tuxedo, matching the day's theme of casual elegance. The groomsmen wore short-sleeved guayabera-type shirts, each with different boutonnieres that matched their corresponding bridesmaid's bouquets.

Basking in the love at the Miramonte

Arrangements Floral and Party Designs once again provided the gorgeous personal flowers, centerpieces and accents. Courtney and David chose a stunning kelly green and vibrant yellow color palette to define their wedding motif. Samantha Ward at Exquisite Desserts created a white pleated two-tier cake with the couple's initial on a medallion as the cake topper.

The cake and the exuberant grand entrance!

Courtney and David exited at the end of their ceremony to a string version of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida," and they entered their reception to the original version with a lively dance to their favorite song. Once the music picked up tempo after dinner, the guests filled the dance floor. Family and friends of all ages danced under the stars until the end of the evening. The crowd was very energetic and the music was well-mixed. DJ Chris Paul kept everyone happy!

Nader and I wish Courtney and David the happiest of lives together!

Heather and Ryan: The Club at Morningside in Rancho Mirage

Radiant smiles

Heather and Ryan started dating in 2000. Since they had their first date on my birthday that year (October 8), I feel that there was a tiny bit of kismet in their choice of Red Lantern for their wedding photography.

Heather and Ryan captured near sunset

Ryan and his groomsmen got ready at the Riviera Resort but put on their finishing touches at the Morningside men's locker room. Heather got ready at her mother's home, in the company of her bridesmaids. Heather's mom, Lloydette, couldn't have been more hospitable, and thanks to Rosie, too, for her invaluable assistance with the group photos!

Cream rose bridal bouquet; ceremony at Morningside

The color scheme was coral pink and cream with touches of light green in the floral arrangements. The wedding cake was simple, but spectacular, in white fondant with pink ribbon and tight, uniform coral pink roses for emphasis. The feel was fresh, light and elegant - perfect for this late spring wedding.

The evening ended with the couple saying farewell to their guests under a shower of sparkler sparks as they were driven to the Riviera to begin their lives together.

Heather and Ryan both have a wonderful sense of humor and kind and generous personalities. Nader and I wish them a long life together, full of laughter and love.

Congratulations!

Sisters: Mira and Tala

Tala and Mira: Close up

When Nader and I got married in 2003, we knew we wanted to include his cousin, Mira, in our ceremony as our flower girl. She was an "old hand" at being a flower girl since she had already been recruited for Nader's sister's wedding 7 months earlier. Her sister, Tala, at the time, was a wee bit too young to make it down the aisle.

Vibrant spring!

Well, flash forward to 2009, and these girls have really grown up! Mira will be entering junior high in the fall and Mira will be a third grader. It's been a joy to be a part of these girls' lives and to watch them mature. Nader captured these photos on a recent visit to LA and I absolutely love the colors in the images! The light is really gorgeous, too.

Sisters forever

Their mom, Mona, has great taste in clothing, and the girls always look cute and stylish, but age-appropriate. Tala's little black shoes are so adorable!

We look forward to seeing Mira and Tala grow into young adults and to continue being a part of their lives.

Megan and Benjamin: Frank Sinatra Estate

Twin palms at Twin Palms; Megan gets ready

From the moment Nader and I met Megan on a site visit a couple months before the wedding, we knew her wedding to Benjamin was going to be a chic and sassy event. (If you follow our blog, you'll recall that we posted shots of their wedding venue a few months ago when we met Megan for the first time.)

Megan has a wonderful sense of style and an effervescent personality with an infectious enthusiasm. To handle all the details of her day, Megan entrusted her wedding planning to Rochelle Saenz of Rochelle Marie's Events by Design. She gave Rochelle a general sense of what her wedding vision was, and Rochelle ran with it, creating a beautiful black and white palette, accented by teal and hot pink. The ceremony and reception were both held at Twin Palms, Frank Sinatra's former estate in Palm Springs.

Dapper tux; Sinatra touches

Benjamin and his groomsmen got ready at the Riviera Resort and Spa, while Megan and her ladies received the royal beauty treatment at the estate. Megan wore a unique strapless, silk taffeta Liancarlo gown with stitched ruffles and a sweetheart neckline with metallic Christian Louboutin wedge heels. The color story for the flowers were white with touches of green. The reception centerpieces were bunches of lush hydrangeas from which an exuberance of phalaenopsis orchids cascaded.

Rochelle and her team transformed the estate carport area by draping the sides with soft fabric and laying a black-and-white dance floor that coordinated with the black and white linens. The focal point of the dance area was a tiered, elegant crystal chandelier. Against the back wall was a comfortable couch for lounging and illuminated cube tables. More illuminated bars and cocktail tables glowing in different colors were scattered throughout the estate.

Megan and Ben; gorgeous white bouquet by Arrangements

Megan and Ben walked up a petal-strewn aisle to say their vows. After the ceremony, the couple took time to take portraits at the Riviera Resort, while their guests enjoyed cocktails around the piano-shaped pool at the Sinatra house. A buffet dinner was held outside beneath the trees and the stars on the opposite side of the home.

We are so fortunate to have such amazing clients as Megan and Benjamin. We wish them the happiest of lives together!

Perfect bouquets: fiery orange and bridal white

For those of you who are planning a wedding with fall colors such as oranges, golds and browns, I would like to share with you the work of Joey Lizotte of Artisan Events. Joey is based in Palm Springs, and he designs floral and event decor for weddings, corporate events and parties of all kinds.

The wedding featured here took place at the lovely Toscana Country Club in Indian Wells. Our happy couple, Mika and Jeff, hail from Canada and they entrusted much of their wedding day details to Mika's mom, Carol. Thanks to Carol's dedicated efforts, Mika, Jeff, and their guests had the time of their lives.

Mika's beloved horse, Huxley, recreated in flowers

Mika is a champion amateur show jumper, and her horse is named Huxley. Since Huxley couldn't join Mika at her wedding, Joey created a floral centerpiece of Huxley for the bride and groom's table. I love the choice of flowers and materials used to create texture and coloring on Huxley! Pavé is one of my favorite floral techniques because of the neat, precise formation it creates (which you can see here on the legs and body of Huxley).

Mika with her fabulous bridesmaids, Brie and Jessica

The fall colors complemented the warm tones found around Toscana. Mika's bouquet was composed of deep orange callas accented with looped bear grass, and her bridesmaids' bouquets were rich gold orchids with dark orange throats. To incorporate an Italian influence into the ceremony, an opera soloist sang "O Mio Babbino Caro" for the bride's processional with her father.

Sculptural, modern centerpieces; Toscana event tent set-up

Joey and his team did a beautiful job in creating a warm, contemporary and elegant feel for Mika and Jeff's special day.
