Hedley & I are so excited to have been asked again this year to speak at the WPPI Convention happening at the MGM Grand Hotel in Vegas……It is the most amazing Convention for Pro photographers…….and on stage are many of the most famous and best know photographers in the world…..sharing their secrets as to how they became so successful….and helping each other………It is fun, educational and inspiring!!!

Here is a little synopsis on the talk this year………I feel I have gotten it down to connect with the bride…and guide her to helping me make wonderful images for us both……..!!

Title: Connecting the Bride and the Photographer or Getting the Bride and the Photographer on the Same Page

Synopsis: Our workshop is for the Photographer who wants to make the Wedding Day go as smooth and as fun as possible. My many years of experience in wedding, fashion and journalism have given me many insights into how to help the photographer and bride become a team who’s #1 goal is to get the best wedding photographs possible. After all our goal is to get award winning photos. I will also touch on marketing, promoting and making a style for oneself by using many of the tools of the trade.

Nikon, Printroom, Lensbaby, Nik Filters and Hoodman Flash Cards are my sponsors……..

The talk info is:
