Photography 101 | ISO
As mentioned in my previous Camera Basics post, ISO is one of the sides to the Exposure Triangle. ISO stands for International Standards Organization, which is a bit arbitrary to how you actually think about it. ISO makes the sensor in your camera more or less sensitive to the available light.

DC Catholic Wedding | Billingsley House Manor | Yellow Dresses and Lego Superheroes
This October wedding was full of charm and hidden meanings here and there. If you weren’t paying attention or didn’t ask, you might have missed it. The Groom created his pocket square with a sweet little note.
