Viva Las Vegas

Steve and I were able to attend the second annual DWF convention in Vegas this year! We went last year and were just stunned and overwhelmed with the information we absorbed. We took much of what we learned and developed a series of ideas to elevate Tying the Knot and raise the quality of all aspects of our company. We ended up photographing 56 weddings last year, which meant a lot of the ideas we had spinning had to wait.

Well, not this year. This year we have made a conscious decision to take fewer wedding commisions and to really focus on the aspects of our business that we want to grow. And part of that plan was to participate in the DWF convention.

We had such an incredible time in Vegas. We renewed acquaintances we met last year and made so many new friends! It is such a great experience - you rub shoulders with the very best in our industry and realize that, at the heart of it, we're all doing this for the same reasons.

It is an unbelievable feeling to be part of a greater community. And to be part of a community that embraces the art of what we do as much as the business is even more incredible. In fact, a whole new world of opportunity has opened up for us this year. We have learned the value of believing in yourself - and going after what you want. As a result, we will be offering a series of seminars this fall throughout the US, and possibly Canada. Stay tuned for more of that.
