Have camera bag, will travel.  :-)  I have been all over the map in the last couple of weeks!  A week after getting back from Atlanta, I was on my way to Orlando, FL for the premier Weekend Wedding Retreat at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress presented by Susan Southerland and the Just Marry team as well as the hotel.  I flew in on a Thursday, shot with the Just Marry team on Friday, and Saturday was a jam packed day of shooting, documenting the event all day, speaking to all of the couples about how to choose a wedding photographer who were split into two different groups,  not to mention the 17 "mini" engagement shoots with each couple that attended.  It was a bit like what I imagine speed dating would be like...a total whirlwind! 10 min per couple starting at 3:00, 3:10, 3:20, 3:30, 3:40... and on like that until I had photographed everyone.  I had about 15 min for a quick change of clothes while also making a slideshow to surprise the couples with at the mock wedding reception that was going to finish off the evening.  By the end of the day I think I had taken close to 4,000 photos. It was a crazy fun day for everyone!  I had so much fun with all of the couples and I got really great images of all of them all despite the time constraints.  It was quite a challenge for me and I felt really great about it afterward. :-) Hopefully I will get to photograph some of their weddings too!  The hotel was absolutely amazing and the food was fantastic!  A big thank you to Angela Palacio, catering manager at the Grand Cypress, you were so awesome and so helpful!  I hope I get to come back to shoot weddings with you.  And to the other fantastic vendors involved; Vangie, you were absolutely marvelous!  Jeff, you amazing DJ you, great to meet you also. Thanks for the blackjack lessons... and to everyone else involved, thank you!
