When you start off a relationship like this with your wedding photographer, you have us at hello,,,,
“Hi Cat! It was great meeting you guys. I absolutely adored you both. I knew as soon as we left you were the one. I would love to have you be our photographers!”
Adi and I are real suckers for flattery. xoxo to you both, Sheena and Dan!
So, besides the fact that this wedding was executed with tasteful elegance and charming detail, we made a new friend in the process.

Laurel and Party Saddlerock Ranch Oak Grove Wedding

I know, I know, I say it all the time, but I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it! I lurv Rachel and Joel.
If you grew up going to Jewish sleepaway camp in Southern California, you know Joel Charnick, cause he’s like the Godfather of sleeping bags and campfires and is the proud long time director of JCA Shalom.
His beautiful wife, who he met while studying at the American Jewish University, is one of the officers at Hadassah. What a couple of mensches!

They had one of my favorite weddings of last year at the Saddlerock Ranch Oak Grove in Malibu, so beautifully designed by Wedding Planner Laurel Szetzo at Laurel and Party.
Every detail was planned to perfection and the sunflower theme is just screaming to be picked up by a magazine or wedding blog! What more can I say than it was a magical day up in the hills of Malibu and I loved every second of it.

Malibu Estate Geller Events Wedding

This wedding, held at an exquisite private estate in Malibu, was one of my favorites of last year. Such a perfect team of rockstar vendors! The bride and groom were set up by mutual friends and fell madly in love. You can tell, right?
Although I’m so thrilled to be able to blog some of the beautiful details, candid moments and romantic images of the event, I’m super bummed that I can’t blog any images of the army of A-list celebrities that made up the team of groomsmen that night. Let’s just say, they had me in stitches all day long.
Needless to say, Dorene and Mike’s perfect wedding was beautifully executed by one of Los Angeles’s most incredible team of wedding planners, Geller Events, lead by the incomparable Paige Blatt.

Wilshire Ebell Los Angeles Wedding Photographer

I feel like 2011 was a year of amazing clients for Next Exit Photography. I never know who will walk through my door from day to day during boooking season, but the moment I met Erica and Jerony, I knew that they were a perfect fit for me.
We had an incredible time at their engagement session at the beach and I counted the minutes until their 9-ten-11 wedding.
In the meantime, I was introduced to their wedding planner, Kristeen LaBrot, who has since become one of my closest friends in the industry. So, not only was I lucky enough to get E+J, but I got LaBrot as a new BFF!!

Wilshire Ebell Wedding Photography

Francesca and Eric are one of the sweetest couples we have ever worked with. They are so our people. We love them. Can we be friends?
Oh, the wedding. Yeah. It was amazing. Beautiful. Lovely. Rockinrollin.
And, Eric? He’s kinda famous. Eric Bress is a screenwriter, film director and producer, probably best known for the Final Destination series and The Butterfly Effect. And, he’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
Perfectly planned (and referred by) one of our most wonderful coordinator pals, Uyen Nguyen from Sassy Girl Weddings & Events!
