Next stop, Vegas please | Becka & Nate are headed to WPPI!
MCO > LAS
We are very excited to be going to Vegas this week to attend our first WPPI. WPPI is the annual international convention for wedding and portrait photographers and we’re going to be 2 of over 15,000 that descend upon the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. During the day we’ll be visiting some of the platform classes, making the rounds on the tradeshow floor to meet the vendors we’ve been using, hopefully finding some awesome new stuff to offer our clients, eating way too much (so Nate has more stuff to review on his up and coming food blog), getting our own engagement photos shot by Jeff, and meeting as many people as we possibly can. And by night, well… let’s just say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Just kidding, we’ll be good. ;)
Yes I colored and threaded the map myself. And yes I forgot that I had yellow till about halfway through. ;)
Thank you to everyone who left me sweet and encouraging notes here and on Facebook when I opened up a bit to you all. I really didn’t expect the volume of notes you all took the time to write me and it meant more to me than you can know. Thank you.
For all of you who aren’t photographers or who are photographers that aren’t able to go to Vegas this yea we’ll be keeping up with everyone as best we can via Twitter so if you aren’t already, follow Nate here and follow Becka here.
If you’re a photographer and you want to meet up in person in Vegas, just send us a message on twitter or come up and say HI. I’m kind of an introvert so I’ll probably be attached to Nate’s hip most the time. And Nate is an extrovert so he’ll probably be bouncing all over the place at the speed of light. :) We want to meet as many people as humanly possible!
Our schedule so far for Vegas is tradeshow and platforms during the day and at night…
Sunday: Arrive, Photolovecat Happy Hour, Zumanity, J Sandifer Poker Tournament
Monday: Photoshoot with Jeff, WPPI Pool Party
Tuesday: Pictage Party at Studio 54 & PIF Party
Wednesday: TBD
Thursday: leaving early in the morning :)
For clients, readers, and everyone else… thank you in advance for your patience as email and voicemail replies will be delayed until next week.

@Rog We actually just recently got it and we aren’t sure if it works 100% yet. :) We’ll be trying it out soon. If you get photos from yours, be sure to let us know. We’d love to see them!
Hi, I found you through my friend Jeff’s blog and I just had to comment…You’re the only other couple I’ve seen with an Exacta. I’ve got one and it’s broke, so it advances the film in between 50 and 70% each time. It turns out amazing photos though. i can only imagine If I didn’t get ripped off on eBay and it advanced fine. Have you ever posted shots from yours? I will soon. Maybe I’ll drop you a line.
Hey Becka and Nate! I’m so glad we got to meet if only briefly in the back of the classroom :) Hope you guys enjoyed everything…I know for me at least this week is going to be full of prioritizing and implementing all the great things I learned. Not to mention getting caught up on all the awesome photo shoots before, during, and after! haha!
I really hope you share you engagement pics with us! Jeff is so talented and you guys are such a beautiful couple….I know they’re going to be fabulous! Can’t wait to see what you guys bring back from WPPI. travel safe!
