WPPI – Vegas

Around this time every year I head down to Vegas for a bit of work and a ton of inspiration.  Wedding & Portrait Photographers International is one of the most amazing groups of photographers in the world.  This convention and trade brings in people from as far away as Russia, Australia, Hong Kong and of course Utah.  As a matter of fact I have already ran into a few from Utah in just the couple days I have been here.

This week I have already spent 2 days learning from one of the most amazing photographers in the world, Marcus Bell.  His images are so inspiring and his class has helped me understand a few things about my style and myself for that matter.

Another huge part of this convention is the print competition.  Amazingly there are over 3000 entries, 9 of which are mine and I have been fortunate to score well on more then half of them.

In addition to the print competition is one of the largest photographic trade shows in the world.  Every vendor that has anything to do with photography will be there showing off their products to thousands and thousands of photographers.  Each year I attend this trade show with certain things in mind I am looking for, however this year I will be looking booth by booth with an open mind generating as many new ideas I can to offer to our clients.  I am very excited to show some of the things I have already found.

I will be ending my trip to Vegas on Thursday only to return home for a night and then fly back to California for a very fun engagement shoot.

Even though I am not in the studio, Stacey will be and she can more then take care of anything you may need.  If we don’t get back to you right away it is because of this or it’s because Stacey had her baby.  Hopefully she can keep it in until I get back.:)

Engagement & Wedding Albums

Here is Blake & Rachel’s Engagement Album.  I’d say out of about 50 weddings we have booked for 2010 so far, about 30 of our clients are getting an engagement album.  It is a great way to both display your favorite engagement images AND have a guest book.  We leave enough white space around the photos for everyone at your wedding to sign and leave you a little note.  They are 8×8 in size with 20 sides, and run $300.  We have about a million cover options to choose from. (k, I might be exaggerating a little bit)  Unlike other photographers sign-in books, our books are sturdy, thick pages.  They are not normal flimsy paper that will tear after looking through it once.

Kyle & Annie’s wedding album just arrived and it is dang sweet!  They chose a 12×12 storybook album with a cover that’s been pretty popular since I posted Steve & Lindsays album on here a month or 2 ago.

March Wedding Specials

Call us at 801.391.8553 or email us at dezemberphoto@mac.com to setup a time to come in and see us.

3 New invitation designs

Some of you may not know this, but we actually own our very own digital press and we can design and print pretty much any invitation you can dream of.  All for a fraction of the price most invitation companies can.  Over the past couple of months, Stacey and I have been working on a ton of new designs to offer to our clients and here are just a few of those new samples.  As always, all of our invites are printed on linen paper and come with envelopes.

This first one is one of my favorites. One thing yo will notice is that the colors this year are grays, yellows, browns and blues.

This one I drew up on a sketch pad.  I was looking for something elegant and modern.

And here is my all time favorite of all the designs we have available.  It is totally simple.  2 photos total.  One on the front that wraps around to the back and one on the inside that covers both pages.  Then just a simple box on the inside with all the wedding details.

If you are a photographer or reception site and are interested in carrying our invitations just send us an email at bdpstore@me.com and we can get you setup with an account and send you a custom book with samples.

Talmage & Kelsy – Groomal Session

Yesterday I headed up to a secret location in Park City to shoot an incredible session for Talmage & Kelsy.  We first had planned on shooting someplace else and then I found out about this place.  I am so glad that they were able to get us in there because these images are so cool!  Click the play button to view them.

Madolyn, Tanner, and Adalee – Portraits

It’s about that time for these guys bi-yearly pictures!  We were going to try to go up Butterfield Canyon, but it was closed off so we found a random grove of trees to hang out in for some pictures.  These literally took about 15 minutes, then we were all ready to get back to warmth:)
