WPPI 2012: Exciting New Opportunities!

So this is long overdue, but since the incredible event that was WPPI we have been a bit overwhelmed with work and creative ideas!  But here is the recap:

1. Speaking: Going into this year's WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) was very exciting since we were going to have our first speaking opportunity at the Miller's Professional Imaging booth.  While we knew we could handle it, we were pretty freaking nervous.  But it went great!

Speaking!!!

Part of speaking for Millers was doing a video for them that will be on their website.  We had a blast stumbling around in front of the camera, trying to appear as cool as possible!

Sorry for the poor quality iphone photos!

Maybe a ballerina in a past life?

Look for our movie soon at www.millerslab.com!

2. Creative Shoot: Kevin set up a creative shoot on the strip one of the nights we were down there and took some incredibly lovely photos of gorgeous models Madison and Jasmine.

3. New Friends!:  We had an amazing time hanging out at the Miller's party with some pretty bad ass photographers we greatly admire including Damon Tucci, JB Sallee, Jill Helenga, and Jaime Shultz.  Later that night, the fabulous Andrew Gawdun and I somehow ended up in the room of Jesh De Rox, of Beloved Photography, where we heard a private concert.  Pretty cool.  Pretty cool.

Not to mention, some new friends and people/blogs/websites/vendors we are dying to work with and learn from!  Just a couple:

A new friend and fellow destination wedding photographer I met in class.

One of our weddings will appear on this prestigious blog soon!

Possible new sponsor!

4. Our Work on Display: Millers and Lumiquest had some of our albums and products on display this year, which we loved!  It was so fun seeing some of our albums and designs shared with the public!

From WPPI this year, we were able to take away new ideas to make our business stronger and our relationships with our clients better.  It's the event of the year for us as photographers, and we HIGHLY recommend it to any new photogs out there!
