Besides being a photogenic pair, Krista and John were a true delight on their wedding day. Adi had never met the groom before the big day, but he and John became fast friends due to their mutual love of football. No not that kind, the soccer kind. While Adi is an avid watcher and study of the game, John is a pro. He plays for the Chicago Fire! John was the youngest American to ever sign with a team in the English Premiership after joining club Manchester United in 1997. We won’t hold that part against him (Go Gunners!) And, Krista is just one of the sweetest brides we’ve had the pleasure of working with.
Wedding Planner Kathy Recchia from Save the Date was so organized and kind!! Hope to work with you again very soon!

It’s that time of the year again when we all reflect on the past wedding season and admire all of the exquisite events that we were a part of at Next Exit Photography.
We just completed our SIXTH wedding season. Ah!
Adi, Nicole, Stephanie, Isaac and I are truly blessed to have photographed nearly 70 gorgeous and unforgettable weddings this year. (a few of them we can’t show due to confidentiality agreements, darn!!)
Every single couple has made an impact on our lives…the toasts, the dance, the kiss, the friendships, the first look, the laughter, the tears, and the love. So much love that we get to share with each and every one of our amazing clients.
2009 is going to be another stellar year for us, I know. We will continue to provide our clients with the very best images and the very best service in the wedding photography market.
We already have weddings booked all over Southern California, Cabo San Lucas, Puerta Vallarta, New York and New Jersey! I am so excited for the coming season.
Yes, we still have lots of openings, so make sure to schedule a consultation sooner than later if you are considering booking with our studio.
And, to our portrait clients, we love you, too!
I haven’t done a specific count, but I know that we have had the pleasure and honor of photographing about 100 gorgeous families this year.
(yes, we’re VERY behind on our blog) but we hope to be able to start catching up in the new year when wedding season is a bit slower.
Also, I know that many of you keep emailing me for some Clara pics…I’ll have Adi put toegther a few for the blog very soon. She is so munchkie!

Yay for awesome awards! Next Exit Photography was so excited to receive their most recent accolade from one of their favorite wedding vendor resources, Project Wedding. It’s a place where you (our radistist brides and grooms) can go to review all of your wedding vendors after it’s all over.
Next Exit made the top THREE of all wedding photographers in Southern California due to their amazing client raves. How can we ever thank you????

We’re so thankful for family.
