Another blog post made easy by an amazing note from a most amazing couple…(and one of the most fun bridal parties of the year!)
“Dear Cadi (like brangelina or tomkat) cat + adi = cadi
I just want to say many thanks for making us laugh and feel at ease, thank you for controlling the chaos that goes on during a wedding, thank you for the witty banter, thank you for holding my lipstick, thank you for keeping the energy up and thank you most of all for sharing our wedding day with us! I can’t wait to see all the fun photos, too bad we didn’t have a video camera to capture the stench someone left for us in the Langham elevator or the shock on our faces when we found the condom shooting in Old Town! That was something special…ahh…the memories! We had so much fun with you both! Love you guys.”
Love you, too!! Our new tag line? Next Exit brings you farts and condoms on your wedding day and memories that last a lifetime. What do you think!?

Stefanie and Shane
Posted on November 16, 2008
I emailed Stefanie about a week ago to let her know that her blog post was ready and to send me over a list of her vendors, but I still haven’t heard back! Wonder if she’s on her honeymoon…sipping wine in Paris, or margaritas in Mexico or pina coladas in Hawaii… (you can tell where my mind is right now!)
I will update the blog post as soon as I get something from her, but in the meantime, her are a few of her gorgeous images from her delightful wedding at La Palapa in Belmont Shores, Long Beach. Isn’t she stunning? And, Shane, you are pretty stunning yourself.

Promotion of the Month: Portrait Days
Posted on November 9, 2008
Here’s our plan: We’ll spend the day romping in the park or building sand castles under the pier. We’ll take a slew of pictures and send them to your cousins back east. We’ll revel in the fact that while they are freezing their fannies off, we are still eating Pinkberry and wearing flip-flops.
Just in time for the holidays, these special sessions cost only $200 (normally $350) and include a $50 product credit.
The following days are now available:
• Saturday 11/15 (Santa Monica Beach)
• Sunday 11/16 (Park in Pacific Palisades)
Please email Cat today to book your session. Mention “Portrait Days Promo” to receive the promolicious price.

Posted on November 7, 2008
We’re doing things a little backwards these days… Clients are actually receiving their proofs before we blog the wedding! Hey, we figure it’s more important for us to keep up with your entire wedding set as apposed to a couple of blogtastic images on here. All in good time, we promise!
Here is a sweet note Lauren emailed me along with her list of vendors…“We’re back and your husband is a genius, which I’m sure you know and it might be boring to hear. But seriously, like, whoa. Everyone has raved about the photos and even the producer-types have been all, “Angles! Lighting! Skillz!” regarding the photography. “ =) Don’t worry, I won’t let it get to his head~!
Lauren and John are one of our nicest couples of the year and we love that Lauren added some beautiful additions to Clara’s library…
Wedding Coordination: lovely ladies, Jill Hawkins and Inger Miller at Miller Hawkins Productions “they held our hands through the whole thing and also made sure that we actually got to eat at our own wedding, which was nice!”
Flowers, Lighting and Linens: Lisa Cardella at Ixora Florist in Pasadena
Jamaica’s Cakes “Ganache worth stealing things for…”
First Congregational Church of Los Angeles
Hair and Makeup: Katie Betian

Ann and Jack
Posted on November 6, 2008
I know that Ann and Jack have been patiently waiting their turn for a blog post. Adi and Stephanie photographed this fabulous wedding at the Valley Hunt Club. The flowers were done by Ashley Kline of Kendis & Co. Chris at Starr House did the bride’s hair and Madelyn at The Gates did the makeup. Both studios are located in San Marino. The bride wanted me to mention that the most important vendor was the USC Bookstore, where she purchased her Beat Ohio State button. And, beat them, they did.
Every time I look at this set of pictures, I smile. How can you not? The bride is so obviously full of joy…and it is infectious!
