Pictage Partner Conference 2009!

As soon as we returned from Europe we turned right back around and headed to New Orleans for the Pictage Partner Conference!  It was well worth the trip.  If you are a photographer and haven’t checked out Pictage or been to the conference before, I highly suggest you try to make it next year.  We’re stoked because it will be in New Orleans again:)  There were tons of great speakers, including Phil!   Phil spoke in the Photographers Lounge which was designed to be a more intimate setting instead of a large conference room.  To our surprise, we had a huge turn out.  Thanks to everyone who came out!   It was awesome to meet so many great new people and we look forward to staying in touch over the next year and seeing how your SEO progresses!

Thanks to the oh so wonderful McLellans who took some shots for us!

Nashville Wedding Photography – Ryan & Jessica

We were so stinkin’ excited when we met with Ryan & Jessica and they said that they had booked the Hutton Hotel for their wedding.  This super new swanky hotel in downtown Nashville is so fun with so many great places to shoot.  We decided to make this post chock full of images from our time with the bride & groom (well, and an additional detail shot)  Yes, and for the record that second shot was taken in a girls bathroom in the Hutton!  Hey, whatever works:)

Jessica and Ryan know how to work it and made our job easy.  Enjoy!

London, Paris, Rome. Oh my!

Well we did it!  We made it through our trip to Europe.  The trip as a whole was far beyond what I think either of us expected.  We visited London, Paris, the Loire Valley, Avignon, Venice, Florence, and Rome.  We even had a few hours in Geneva, Switzerland.  Obviously there will be a far more detailed posts with tons of photos and info but for now we just wanted to say hi to our readers before we leave in the morning for New Orleans.  Yep, we had all of 2 nights in our own bed before heading back out of town but this trip should be well worth it.  We are off to Pictage Partnercon in New Orleans.  Phil will be speaking Tuesday, from 3:20pm – 4:20pm so if you plan on attending stop by and say hi.  We will leave you with one quick photo we grabbed from the hundreds thousands we took.
