WPPI 2009

Last week I joined tens of thousands of photographers at the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) Convention in Las Vegas. This is hands down one of the biggest photography conventions in the country and anyone who is anyone in the business is sure to attend. It's 6 days worth of networking, talking shop, learning about new trends, finding inspiration, re-connecting with friends, making new friends, and my favorite....partying! I've been wanting to go for the longest time and this year the stars finally aligned in my favor. It was a little overwhelming and definitely exhausting, but it was well worth it. Hopefully this will become a yearly tradition.

The above picture was taken at the photobooth at the Bludomain party at the Hard Rock Casino. Hands down the best party at WPPI. Fun times!

Thanks again to the Vegas Entourage for such an awesome time.

Emily & Jeff Wedding

Back in September I had the pleasure of second shooting Emily and Jeff's wedding with Kelli Nicole Saunders. The wedding took place at Hans Fahden Vineyards in Calistoga. The venue was gorgeous and the ceremony took place in the middle of a cave. Normally, shooting in a dark cave is a photographer's nightmare, but the intimate setting and candlelight made for some stunning images. Emily and Jeff were a really fun and exciting couple to work with. They are from one of my favorite places in the world, Denver. Virtually every guest at their wedding was from Colorado so it was really special to have them all visit the California wine country. Here's a few images from the day. Thanks again Kelli, it was great working with you!
