Carly and Ben’s wedding took place at Valley Beth Shalom in Encino. This synagogue is HUGE! The ketubah signing, cocktail hour, wedding ceremony, and reception all took place in different rooms inside of VBS and there was an outdoor garden area for the portraits. My favorite part about Carly and Ben’s wedding was just how much fun they all had together and how much the love between Carly, Ben, their families and friends was evident throughout the day and night.
If you missed their Getty Villa engagement portraits, check them out, too!
I love the old Hollywood glamour feeling of these portraits of Carly taken inside the bride’s prep room.
The gorgeous flowers were arranged by Jackie Combs Floral Design, who always does amazing work.
This next image is worth taking a second to look at in detail. I just love the story it tells when you take the time to really look at it.
Bob Gail Special Events provided the entertainment that kept the crowd dancing.
Mazel tov, Carly and Ben! Many blessings and all the best!
Carly Chohon

I just have to say that these are the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen, and believe me, I have seen A LOT lately! It seems like every week someone else is getting married and posting photos. Honestly, these are GORGEOUS photos. You do fabulous work. I only wish I lived in California so I could recommend you and even use you someday!
