Yesterday I had the privilege of hanging out Joe Buissink & Yervant – two of the top wedding photographers in the world. Joe was already named one in 2007 and it still baffles me that Yervant has not made that list. (That is another post in coming).

If you want to master your craft and be excellent at what you do, I believe you have to hang out with the best and be inspired and challenged by them. This Two-View Seminar was just that. I love Joe – every time I hear him talk, even though I am a guy, I just wanna get married right there on the spot. Yervant is such a fun and easy going person. Two of them gave us lot of inspirational tips and wisdom that were filled with laughter and tears.

We even got to observe a live shooting demonstration (thanks to Kelly Campbell – a beautiful model who came to model for us – an entry about her will come soon) and learn some amazing “how-to” photoshop tips from Yervant.

It was a great day to network with fellow photographers from this area as well. Some of the workshop attendees from Vegas Love Story came from far away (Kym from Philly, Jen from Michigan & Morgan from Indiana) to hang out with Dawn & Bob, Yasmin, Vergil, James Kim, Ed Weiland and myself. I love these gatherings because we get to meet new friends and catch up with the old. It also reminds me how blessed we are to be in this business – having fun and doing what we love for our profession.

Here are some images from the day. Putting this collage brought back memories of traveling with Bob & Mike back in Jan – Feb. Good times!!!
