With creative and comfortable style, husband & wife team, Cat & Adi Benner are two of the most sought after wedding photojournalists in Southern California and around the globe.
Next Exit Photography was privileged to have the honor of photographing Dr. Phil’s big 60th birthday bash on Saturday night at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Our image can be seen on the Entertainment Tonight website. Hopefully, we’ll get to post a few more shots of the awesome event, but in the meantime, enjoy this one of Dr. Phil and Seal, who gave the guests a mesmerizing and memorable live performance!
Kelly and Brandon, what can we say? We adore you!! From day one, it has been a pleasure working with you and your families.
With an all star wedding vendor team like this one, you just couldn’t go wrong. Bravo to you all for this perfect day. We loved being a part of the exciting events.
Lots of hugs and kisses to the Wedding Planner of the Year (did I just say that?) Amber Gustafson. She makes us wanna sing and dance her praises. xxxxx
Always a pleasure to work with Dana Jordan and her professional staff at the Westlake Village Inn. Every time we shoot that location, we find another dozen perfect photo niches.

It was such a pleasure shooting Erin and Nick’s wedding at the Langham in Pasadena. Erin’s dad is the Managing Director of the hotel, so we knew that they would pull out all the stops.
It was a gorgeous, elegant affair.
We simply love the work that Ixora Floral Studio creates. I can’t get enough of it!
A special thanks to Cathy Cheng, Catering Sales Manager at the Langham, for taking such good care of us!

Gianelle and Scott were referred by Samantha and Ian (Next Exit superstars) and were our perfect clients. We loved that they decided to get hitched on a Thursday….So much fun for a weekday!
The Mission in San Juan Capistrano was such a beautiful setting for the ceremony and romantic photos of the newlyweds.
The wedding at Pelican Hill was superb and the decor was out of this world. We loved working with Jackie Sorkin, wedding planner extraordinaire! Say hi to Oprah for me, Jackie!
I always love a couple who does a choreographed dance at the wedding… (just like Adi and I did at our wedding!)

SEO works! Why? Because these two adorable super dodgers fans found us online! We were their first meeting for wedding photography and then Jaimee wrote, “My fiance and I met with other photographers that day, but after we left Next Exit, we knew that Adi had set the bar. And, pretty high, I might add!”
Awe, shucks.
“Knyght Ryder” was the best 80s cover wedding band ever…ever!
We loved working with the coordination and floral team at Stephanie Grace, located just a few minutes from our studio on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.
And, always a pleasure working with the staff at Shutters on the Beach!

For those of you who don’t know, Adi won an international photo competition which garnered him the last page of one of our favorite magazines, Pacific Weddings.
Thank you to all of our friends and clients who voted for us! Isn’t it an amazing photo??
