Shutters on the Beach Wedding Photographer | Nicole and Chris

It’s often the case that the people who book Next Exit to photograph their wedding are the kind of people that we (at Next Exit) would want to be friends with. Our job as wedding photographers is made pretty easy (and awesome) by clients like Nicole and Chris. We liked the same movies, the same books, and the same music. They walked into our studio almost 6 months ago and we immediately hit it off.  In the face of a crazy beach wind/sandstorm so uncharacteristic of a Santa Monica wedding day, Nicole and Chris were relaxed and marvelous.  They threw caution to the wind (literally) and walked right out the door, into the fierce weather; along with their remarkable bridal party in tow. Nobody complained—not even for a second. And wouldn’t you have it? The wind died down and the pictures turned out AMAZING. Never known a beautiful smile and giggle quite like Nicole’s. It melted our hearts! See for yourself—
