Las Vegas convention!!

WOW!!! The country kids go to the big city. We just got back from the WPPI and DWF conventions in Las Vegas. There were two conventions and a trade show going on at the same time and we were able to spend time at each. It was true sensory overload as well as a photographers candy store. How we got out of that city without spending thousands and thousands is beyond both of us. Although admittedly we didn't have time to experience Vegas for all that it has to offer we had a great time. We met other photographers from around the world(literally!!) took classes, attended lectures, bounced ideas of one another, and generally got some really great inspiration for the year to come. For me the highlight of the week came on the last day. Tim and I attended lectures from a few of the most respected wedding photographers in the world. The work they displayed left me speechless and their words reminded me that this whole thing is about people and about the emotion that surrounds a wedding. More than ever I feel honored to be part of each and every wedding and to be given the opportunity to capture the beginning of a new chapter.
