Lexar Lab Tests

One of the questions I am asked is about Lexar media. As many of you will know I have been a Lexar Elite photographer for a few years, I use ONLY Lexar media to record my images. So the question “Does using Lexar really make a difference with all the brands available these days?” For me the answer is simple, YES IT DOES. Lexar has never let me down in all the years I have been shooting digital. This fact alone makes my clients feel comfortable and secure that their precious moments were not trusted to some no brand inexpensive media. Lexar have always gone above and beyond producing quality media for the professional photographer, check out their lab test below and you will see what I mean.

In answer to your second question? I have been shooting with Lexar digital media for over a decade now. My first CF card was 320MB 12x and that was fast back then and Yes is still works.

Grace and Kit

The Mountain Terrace was transformed into a magical garden for the wedding of Grace and Kit.
Sprigs of lavender and mint enhanced romantic artistic florals, designed by Cherries flowers. Grace dressed in Amy Kuschel was a pure vision, the perfect gown.
Judge Ellis preformed the service for his son Kit and his bride, adding that personal touch only a father could. The wonderful sounds of Jazz provided by Nova Jazz Band feat. Lisa, filled the Mountain Terrace as it slipped into a twinkle wonderland.
We would like to thank all at the terrace for such a great day and Jessica for keeping everything on schedule.
