Kelsey and Josh got married today...so it is now safe to unlock Kelsey's bridal session! We had a great time shooting her bridal session...and we just love the way the pictures came out. We can't wait to post their wedding pictures...it will be a few weeks, but stay tuned!
Kimberly and Drew were married last weekend, and we've been waiting to share Kimberly's bridals until after the wedding. Kimberly is incredibly photogenic, and we think her bridals were awesome!...check them out! It will still be a few weeks until we have Kimberly and Drew's wedding pictures up, so be sure to check back!
Sarah and Grant's wedding was a blast! We had a great time shooting with Sarah and Grant for their engagements, so we knew the wedding would be fun. Grant and his groomsment had fun cutting up before the ceremony, and the bridesmaids all looked stunning in their dresses...but none of them held a candle to Sarah in her wedding dress...sorry ladies :) Some of the things we liked the most from this wedding: the yellow rose and note Grant had delivered to Sarah before they saw each other, the brick backdrop on the stage in the sanctuary, the purple stained glass windows in the fellowship hall, the Texas Longhorns garter, a really nice videographer who was fun to work with... we could go on and on. Sarah and Grant, congratulations, and we wish you the best as you start your marriage together. We hope you enjoy the slideshow of some of our favorites above.

Che' and Brandon's wedding was beautiful, classy, fun...and just flat out awesome! We had a great time being a part of this wedding, and were thoroughly entertained by the bridesmaids and groomsmen who are some of the funniest and nicest people we've met! We even booked one of Che's bridesmaids for a wedding next year...so we hope to see many of them again soon! The wedding and reception took place at the Capital City Club in the RSA Tower in Downtown Montgomery. As always, the CCC is a beautiful venue, and this wedding was no exception. Che' and Brandon were married at the foot of the winding staircase and then danced the night away with their friends and family before being sent off in style with a horse drawn carriage. We want to wish Che' and Brandon the very best as they start their new life as one. We also want to say to Brandon, a proud Naval Officer, that we appreciate his service and dedication to the country we all love. We hope you enjoy the slideshow of some of our favorites above. All of Che' and Brandon's wedding pictures are online in their gallery which can be accessed by going to http://www.nexisphotography.com/ and clicking on "Client Proofing" then looking for their gallery.
Each one of these numbers represents a full-stop. So moving from an f/1.4 to an f/1.6 is a full-stop, and moving from an f/8 to an f/9 is also a full stop. Each time you move a full stop the light let in changes significantly. The smaller the f-number the more light is let in, the larger the f-number the less light is let in. In addition to the amount of light being let in, don’t forget about depth of field. The smaller the f-number, the shallower the depth of field, the larger the f-number the deeper the depth of field. You can always stop down the aperture to let in less light, so any lens can be stopped down to f/22. However, going the other direction in order to let more light in is a different story. Most consumer level lenses will have a maximum (widest open) aperture of f/3.5. Professional level lenses typically have a maximum aperture value of f/2.8 or lower and will be much more expensive than consumer lenses. This is why professional photographers can shoot indoors with no flash and still have enough light for a proper exposure. With most consumer level SLR cameras and lenses you'll need a flash to give you enough light in a moderate to dimly lit room.
While you continue to learn, try shooting in aperture priority and experimenting with depth of field. While in aperture priority your camera will select the shutter speed in order to (or try to) properly expose the picture…so all you have to worry about is adjusting your aperture values. In the next tip we’ll talk about shutter speed!

Robbie and Jennifer are a great couple with a great story. They've been together for 7 years, and they finally tied the knot earlier this month. Robbie and Jennifer have a great group of family and friends, and we really enjoyed being a part of their wedding day. Robbie's brothers and groomsmen kept us laughing the entire day...and while the ladies weren't quite as crazy as the guys, they were definitely entertaining. Robbie and Jennifer, congratulations on your wedding and we wish you the very best in your new life together. We hope you enjoy the slideshow of some of our favorites above. All of your pictures are online in your gallery which can be accessed by going to http://www.nexisphotography.com/ and clicking on "Client Proofing" then looking for your gallery. Enjoy!As some of you may already know, we started our "wedding career" in videography. We stopped booking video weddings last year, but Denice and Luis were the last clients who booked us before we made the exclusive transition to photography. For their "cinematic intro" we made a fun and fast paced video introducing the wedding party. Its only about 3 minutes long, so check it out...keep in mind we sampled down the quality quite a bit so that you didn't have to wait forever for it to load...enjoy!

Tawny and Jonathan were married earlier this year in March and we had a great time shooting their wedding. Tawny is "beach girl" and it didn't take much convincing to get her to do a trash the dress session. We took a little "mini-vacation" to Panama City Beach, FL a few weeks ago and had an awesome trash the dress session with her...and we even got Jonathan in for a few pictures. We love trash the dress because it really allows you to get creative and do alot of different things that you wouldn't do for a typical bridal shoot. Editing these sessions are always a task, but alot of fun. Tawny we had a great time at the shoot, and hanging out with you and Jonathan over the weekend. You guys are awesome and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
