Entering the showroom floor at WPPI 2016 Expo and Conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV.

This year, our team had the great fortune to be able to travel to the little town of Las Vegas to attend The WPPI Wedding & Portrait Photography Conference+Expo along with around 13,000 of our fellow photographers and media makers. We had a blast exploring the seemingly endless rows of gear, album companies, and demo booths, and we attended seminars by top industry professionals like Sue Bryce, Peter Hurley, Doug Gordon, Clint Mautner, and Roberto Valenzuela to name just a few!

Awesome display by Lensrentals. Most expensive chess set ever?

It was truly a photographer's paradise, being surrounded by like-minded individuals and enough lights, lenses, and backdrops to make your head spin. To cap it all off, we trekked out to a nearby dry lake bed for a fashion style shoot with a local model and came back with some incredible shots! Check out our favorites below:
