We're Back
Ray and I are back from WPPI where we had an absolutely amazing time meeting new people and learning lots of new things. We can't wait to start making some really positive changes in our business. Every year at WPPI, some of the best wedding photographers in the business donate their time by auctioning off mentoring sessions to benefit Thirst Relief, an organization that provides humanitarian and disaster relief by helping people get access to clean drinking water. Ray and I were lucky enough to the win a mentoring session with the wonderful and incredibly talented Michael and Anna Costa. We got together at the Eiffel Tower restaurant at Paris, and had a great lunch where we learned so much from the Costas. If you're a wedding photographer, you should definitely check out their new photo forum, Photo for the People.
Of course, it wasn't all work and learning at WPPI. There were lots of parties to attend, networking events, and Ray and I dined at lots of new restaurants. Some of our favorites were Cafe Matorano (Philly style Italian), Fix, and Sushi Roku. On our last day in Vegas, Ray and I checked out Dinosaurs 3D at the Luxor, so that's why we're sporting these sassy and haute couture 3D glasses.
