WPPI 2011 MGM VEGAS

Every year around this time we travel out to Vegas tot he MGM for the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International Convention. We take classes, network, check out new products and trends in the industry and get a chance to represent some of the products that sponsor our tour and company such as Albums Inc, Album Epoca, Radiopopper, Bay Photo, Smugmug, and Photoflex.

This year we spent most of our time in the Album Epoca station to help them kickoff the 2011 EVOLUTION line. We are really excited about this as we have been working with them for about a year to produce the new 5:2 albums. They are amazing! We are super excited for all of our brides this year that will have the opportunity to get into one of these!

We got a chance to do some speaking and spend time in each of company’s booth’s that sponsor the Ideal Art Photo Tours and got a few chance to get some images shot of us (for once!!!) and also do some shooting!

We got to spend a lot of time with Micheal Corsentino who is a great friend and talented photographer and editor and we caught Dinner with Laura Beck at the Hard Rock Cafe.

We also got to spent alot of time with other Album Incorporated Photographers such as Bambi Cantrell, Scott Bourne, and Matthew Jordan Smith. Here is a shot of Bambi with my good friend Peter Cardello.

Brian Slawson one of our photographers was able to make the trip this year with Zak Smith and Ryan Bensheimer. We have come to LOVE our incredible customer support team at Albums Inc and here we are with Renee Cardello who is our personal Account Executive.

This year we had the privilege of hosting Federico Casini of Album Epoca who brought Italian World Famous Photographer Flavio Bandiera who like us is also an ALBUM EPOCA Signature Photographer.

All in all it was a GREAT trip. We again want to thank all of our sponsors and everyone who made this possible for us. You are like family to us and we love the time we spend with you!
