Kelly and Brandon, what can we say? We adore you!! From day one, it has been a pleasure working with you and your families.

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.

Langham Pasadena Wedding | Erin and Nick

Adi — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 05:52:15 +0000

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!

The Resort at Pelican Hill Wedding | Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano Wedding

Cat — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 05:58:23 +0000

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!)

Shutters on the Beach Wedding Photography | Jaimee and Bob

Cat — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 02:30:44 +0000

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!

Kristina and Chris were referred by Bree and Brain, old skool Next Exit wedding peeps. (we just finished up shooting their gorgeous “Baby’s First Year” last week!)

As you can see, this couple is all about love for one another. How cute are they! We were so thrilled to work with them and their families.

The wedding was so beautiful, one of two we shot in the last year at the stunning California Club in Downtown LA. Maybe if we ever get caught up with our blog, we’ll actually get to posting some of our winter weddings!
