Northern California Wedding Photographer | Las Vegas WPPI 2011

Northern California, Sacramento, Wedding Photographer, Professional

 

Our first time in Las Vegas and it was for WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) Convention.  I didn’t know what to expect so I just went and absorbed and went along accordingly.  David and I had a great time taking classes, networking, catching up with photographer friends I’ve met in workshops and walking the showroom floors.  Add to that, the sights and sounds (and smells!) of Las Vegas.. it was truly an assault to my senses!

David spotted David Ziser on the showroom floor and he was nice enough to stop shake hands and smile.  David takes his online courses and has learned a lot from this gentleman.

One of the classes I took was from Kenny Kim.  His rapid rise in the industry and not having formal training in photography inspired me to attend his class.  Kenny inspired me and I am eager to learn more by visiting his website and blog.

A shot of our view using my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app.  I know, I know! You’re saying, why the heck does she use an iPhone when she’s got a professional camera?! I’m a photographer and I take a lot of personal pictures with my iPhone.  But to be honest, my Canon 5D is heavy! and if I don’t have to carry it around, I prefer not to, plus I love to train my eye to view my world artistically with a device as simple as an iPhone.  If I’m this good with my iPhone,  imagine what I can do with a Canon 5D! :wink, wink:   The best camera is the one you have with you! (in the words of the great Chase Jarvis)

David and I are not gambler’s in the least, but we were in Vegas so might as well “act” like I was gambling.

David and I.  Love that man… he supports me 100%!

We had a great time and definitely learned a lot.  I’m excited to go to next year’s event, but this time I will be prepared!!

While at the airport waiting for our flight home, I noticed Tommy Shaw of Styx! and you know, I’m totally shy and everything, and asked him if he would oblige me with a photograph with him.
