All I can say is WOW! We have had some amazing clients, and many have written us some fantastic reviews and testimonials...but I've got to say this one is up near the top! Kayla and Shane were married in Florida in May of this year and she recently wrote us the following review. This is what makes us love what we do...doing anything we can to make our bride and groom have the wedding of their dreams. To us, that means so much more than just taking pictures...check this out:
"We chose Nexis Photography as the photographers for our wedding based on previous friends that had used them with amazing results. My husband and I first met them at a bridal fair in Prattville, and immediately we felt at ease with them. We had spoken to other photographers at the event but none of them seemed to reach out to us like Matt & Leigh did. My husband, (who has never been one that liked to take pictures) was so excited after meeting them that he would not leave the event without booking them for our upcoming wedding. And I have to say that this was the best decision we could have made in regards to the wedding planning.
We wanted our engagement pictures to be special...as most couples do, but we wanted our pictures to incorporate baseball, since my husband played in college at the time. Matt came up with the idea of having some pictures taken at the Biscuits Stadium downtown, and he even got in contact with the administration and made it happen.
We had the best time ever taking our pictures and we were absolutley amazed at the end product. We had never seen any pictures like these before and we were so proud to show them off.
As amazed at we were at our engagement pictures, we could never have imagined how beautiful our wedding pictures were to turn out. It was a gorgeous Saturday in May (in Florida) so of course it was a little hot. We had made it through the ceremony and were on the way to the reception. Upon arriving to the ceremony I quickly noticed that something was not right with my family...mainly my dad. As it turns out he had to be rushed to the emergency room and ended up missing the entire reception. Needless to say I was an emotional wreck and Leigh stepped right in ushering me away from the crowd, taking me aside and talking to me. She was a shoulder for me to lean on while managing to keep me calm. After I was ready to re-enter the reception I had so much on my mind that the last thing I could think of was the reception agenda (cake cutting, first dances, and etc). But thankfully I didn't have to Matt and Leigh stepped in and quickly got the reception flowing smoothly again. I was so grateful to have them there, because without them I would have been a wreck as well as the reception.
We kept hoping by the end of the reception that my dad would make it back so we could at least have our father-daughter dance. Unfortunately my dad was not able to make it back, but that didn't stop Matt and Leigh. Even though the reception was over they offered to come to the hospital, along with our dj, and take pictures, so that me and my dad could have our first dance. Now I know I can say that not many photographers would have even offered this, especially considering how late it was in the night at an out of town event. This just proves that Matt and Leigh are truly special people. They do things out of the kindness of their heart, and they genuinely care about others...it wasn't about the money to them, it really was about making our wedding day special...and it was apparent that they would go to any length to make this happen.
You can imagine how upset my dad was that he missed the reception, but what we didn't count on was how the pictures would allow him to be a part of every moment of the reception. He was amazed at the story that the pictures told and upon finishing he was in tears. The pictures allowed him to experience the reception, although he was not physically present. For pictures to speak that loudly, you know you must have some amazing and truly gifted photographers.
There are not enough words to express our gratitude towards Matt and Leigh for all that they have done. Our wedding was a very memorable time, but we are especially thankful to have such beautiful keepsakes to remind us of that special day. We are so lucky to have had them as photographers, and now we are even luckier to be able to say that they are our friends. Not only have we been able to see how wonderful they both are from a professional/business aspect, but now we have been able to experience their genuineness and appreciate their character, personalities, and spirit as friends.
Anyone that chooses Nexis Photography will not be disappointed. Not only will you have amazing pictures that will serve as great memories forever, but you will have excellent proficient photographers that will take every effort in ensuring your day is special and is everything you ever dreamed of." - Kayla & Shane Moye

After a little hiatus from weddings due to our little baby Kelsey being born last year, we are back with our first wedding for the year! Marilane and Adam are a wonderful Christian couple that were married last month on a beautiful April afternoon in Birmingham, AL. These two have a wonderful story, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them, and being a part of their special day. We had a great time taking pictures with their family and friends...and the wedding party kept us laughing all day...which we like! Oh and I forgot to mention...Marilane, Adam, and their entire wedding party must be professionals...I don't think anyone blinked during a picture the entire day! After the wedding and a short reception, we followed Marilane and Adam over to Samford for some awesome bride and groom pictures! We absolutely love the way their pictures turned out! Marilane and Adam...you two are a fantastic couple and we know you will have a blessed marriage together. We hope you like the brief slideshow we put together above, and all of your pictures are online in your gallery which can be accessed by going to http://www.nexisphotography.com/, clicking on "Client Proofing" and looking for your gallery.
