February 18-22, 2011, I attended the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International convention (WPPI) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. This was my second year at WPPI, and I was very excited to meet up with my good friends and WPPI roommates Krista Powell and Kellie Carter and dive in to all the incredible classes, talented speakers, and learning opportunities it has to offer.
Our first adventure after a day and a half of classes, was a mystery photoshoot sponsored by Anthony Vazquez of Click Nation. We boarded a coach and were taken to the Graceland Wedding Chapel. We took our seats in the chapel and were let in on the secret, that clients of Anthony's agreed to be his models for a hilariously styled Las Vegas chapel wedding. Anthony instructed us a bit on off camera lighting, and in came Elvis and our models for the night. Everyone laughed hysterically, it really was a surreal moment!
We boarded the coach to drive to the next mystery location, and Anthony Vazquez answered our lighting questions and gave away thousands of dollars in prizes! I think just about everyone on the bus won something, I won a licensed song from Triple Scoop Music. Thanks Anthony and Triple Scoop!
Our next location was the infamous Las Vegas sign on the Southern end of the strip. Kellie and I were just saying that we'd never been to it when we pulled up to it and stopped. Here's a shot of myself, Kellie and Krista - a bit cold, but having a great time with Click Nation!

who doesn't want to be married by Elvis I mean come on that's got to be everyone's dream right to get married by one of the biggest names in music history. Sounds like a plan to me.
