WPPI in Las Vegas I

I finally was able to find some time to load some photos and updates from my trip to Vegas. I had such a great time, learning from top of their game photographers and getting to meet some cool people. Here's the first of a couple posts and pictures from the trip! Can't wait till next year to go again! 

I met Marlon at DJ's Freedom and Slumber party earlier this year. He was my roommate at the hotel this year. Cool dude and great photographer and designer! 

I was able to see and chat with DJ and Allie for a bit. He is so busy and was running around all over the place. Luckily I was able to stop both of them for a quick pic!
I also got to sit with him during his session before he went up to speak. He introduced the amazing new software Showit Sites. I hope to build my new site with this software so I'm anxious to get it going.
Another man running around like crazy was my friend Kenny Kim. He was covering pretty much the whole event. You saw him here then he was gone! I've seen him in three cities now: Santa Barbara, NYC, and Vegas. I'll be second shooting with him in April in New Jersey, which I can't wait for! 
This was a treat. I got to hear Denis Reggie himself talk of his experiences shooting the weddings of people like Robert F Kennedy, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I also got to hear       Robert T. Williams talk about his rise to one of the best wedding photographers.  
I got to see and hang out a bit with Paul Rogers. This dude is the man behind all of DJ's amazing videos! He's a great guy and it was cool chilling with him for a bit. See DJ in the background? I think Paul should of been filming him!
