Mandy and Chad's Engagement Session - Prattville, AL

We had a really good time shooting with Mandy and Chad...despite the heat wave we seem to be right in the middle of! I don't buy into the global warming religion, but for goodness sakes, its hot out there! Chad told us right when we showed up that he hates taking pictures, and was not looking forward to their engagement session at all. I told him thats because he'd never taken pictures with us before...to which he kinda smirked...but was willing to give it a try. By the end of the session, Chad was at ease and admitted that "it wasn't that bad after all"...success! Mandy was very comfortable in front of a camera...has a beautiful smile and is a very sweet person. We think these two are a great match and we are looking forward to their wedding in just a few short months!

Luis and Denice's Wedding - Millbrook, AL

When two people are in love with each other it is obvious...and we can't think of any couple who appear more in love than Luis and Denice. Even when things got behind they stayed focused and excited about the wedding ceremony and becoming husband and wife. And at the reception, we were very impressed by Luis' removal of the garter. He didn't just walk out to the dance floor, take off the garter then throw it...he was smooth as silk! He took Denice by the hand, guided her into the seat, took his time taking off the garter, then took her hand and helped her out of her seat, hugged her and kissed her. It was impressive to say the least! We couldn't have asked for two nicer people, or two nicer families. Everyone at this wedding had a smile on their face and had a great time. Luis and Denice, you guys are a wonderful couple, and what a great testimony of how a husband and wife ought to love one another. We hope you enjoy the brief slideshow above...and all of your wedding pictures are online in your gallery. You can get to your gallery by going to http://www.nexisphotography.com/ and clicking on "Client Proofing" then looking for your picture. Your wedding video will take a few more weeks, but you are going to LOVE it!

Talk to you guys soon!

Kristina and Jacob's Engagement Session - Prattville, AL

Kristina and Jacob are in love...you can tell it in the way they look at each other, laugh at and with each other, and just the way they interact together. Both of them were up for just about any suggestions we had, and we hit alot of spots on this shoot. Even though it was hot, they braved the heat and humidity, and were fun and upbeat the entire time. We can't wait to see these two tie the knot in a few short months! Kristina and Jacob, we hope you enjoy the slideshow above.

Lakisha and Shawn's Wedding - Huntsville, AL

We really had a good time at Lakisha and Shawn's wedding. These two make a beautiful couple and have been a pleasure to work with all the way from their engagements through the wedding day. There we so many memorable moments from their wedding: Shawn and his groomsmen joking on each other, the "special moment" when they saw each other for the first time, Lakisha busting out the "stanky leg" dance, and the last few quiet portraits at the end of the night. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"...we had a blast, and we wish you guys the best as you start your new lives together. We hope you enjoy the slideshow above, and we've posted just a few of our favorites below. All of your photos are online in your gallery which can be viewed by going to http://www.nexisphotography.com/ and clicking on "Client Proofing."

Amanda's Bridal Session - Downtown Montgomery, AL

Amanda is our soon to be sister-in-law, and her wedding is coming up fast...just over a month to go! With as much rain as we've been having lately, we had a very limited window to do her bridals...but last weekend we took a chance in between rain showers and it worked out! We took Amanda to Downtown Montgomery where a number of buildings are currently being renovated. We loved the "unfinished" backdrops where there was ongoing construction...and some of the spot lighting gave us some great contrast. Amanda even brought her little dog "Tink" along to be a part of the fun! Amanda, you are a beautiful girl and you look amazing in your dress...John is a lucky guy! We can't wait until the big day! Check out the slideshow above, and some of our favorites below. Also, your gallery which contains all of your bridals is up in the client proofing section at http://www.nexisphotography.com/. Enjoy!

Denice's Bridal Session - Montgomery, AL

Denice is one of our brides that booked us early in 2008 when we were still offering photography and videography services, so she will be the last client to receive a wedding video created by Nexis. We are doing a special intro video for her since it is our last wedding video, with her permission we hope to post that intro video on our website in a few months. However, this post is about her bridal portraits. We took Denice out to Shakespeare to take her bridals, and had to get somewhat creative with locations there. It seemed like all of the more commonly used locations were either closed or had too many people around, so we improvised and we think things turned out great! Denice, you are a beautiful bride with a beautiful dress, you are going to knock Luis off his feet! Check out the slideshow above, and you can link to your gallery by going to http://www.nexisphotography.com/ and clicking on "client proofing." We've posted some of our favorite photos below with some captions. We are looking forward to your wedding...its coming up soon!

...amazing dress!

...beautiful bride.

...love the wide angle shot with Denice in front of the theatre door.

...again, we love the dress!

...one of our favorites! People all around us were just staring, and we heard a bunch of people asking each other "how in the world did she get up there!"

...a little girl walked up and gave Denice a flower that she had picked off the ground...it was very sweet.

...love these angles...thanks to one of Denice's bridesmaids for the inspiration.

...love the expression!
