WPPI - Epic West Coast Road Trip 2012

Today Leslie and I are leaving, headed out for our second annual 2 week Epic Road trip to the west coast. I'm not saying we are going to make a habit of this, but you may remember last years trip. This time we are going with two of our friends. Four photographers packed into a Prius with 4,000 miles of driving ahead of them. Our journey will take us to the Grand Canyon for two days. Then off to the coast. First in Laguna Beach, California for a couple more days, then up the Pacific Coast Highway to San Francisco, where we will stay in "Japan Town". After a few days in San Fran we head to Las Vegas, Nevada for the largest convention for Wedding Photographers in the United States, WPPI. For the next two weeks we will be shooting, driving, blogging, tweeting, facebooking, eating, and some very little sleeping. Sometimes all at the same time, haha, but also soaking in the wonderfully beautiful country as we travel from one location to the next.

Tuesdays with Eli - Laguna Beach, CA

Okay, so I know that I've missed a few Tuesdays with Eli's, but I'm trying to get back on track and I've got some catching up to do. Here's a couple of my favorite photos from Leslie and I's "Epic West Coast Road Trip" we took back in February. Laguna Beach is probably one of our favorite places to visit. We loved it here. The beaches here are amazing, the weather is fantastic (even in February), and the whole town in filled with art and creatives. Definitely a location I wouldn't mind working in... Let me know if any of you Arkansas Brides want to plan a destination wedding and need a photographer who knows the area, haha. Enjoy!

Epic West Coast Road Trip

For the last couple months Leslie and I have been preparing for one crazy awesome two week road trip out West. Leslie and I are certainly not new to the idea of making long drives. We've both made our fair share of day trips behind the wheel. I think we've made enough tracks on the highway to earn the title "Road Warriors". When we were  dating and living in separate states, if we wanted to see each other we  had to drive. I never really thought to much about it. I just knew that I wanted to see my girl, so I drove.....This drive though, is different. This road trip we make together, not to just get a chance to see each other, but to see each other in new exciting places. To grow together, laugh together, experience together, and spend a whole lot of time together in our little car, haha. Leslie knows that I have always had a love for the West. I've been dying to take her there since we first started dating.The whole trip is a combination of lots of different stops. We're taking two weeks to make this trip and I can tell you it will be non-stop action. We'll leave from Little Rock February 12th. Our first stop is Albuquerque New Mexico, after that we're headed strait for the coast. I will be meeting with a super cool couple that has booked me for their wedding in Temecula, California in May. We actually haven't met each other in person yet, so I'm really excited to finally meet them both! While we're there, we'll shoot their engagement photos in Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach. We'll spend a couple nights there before leaving for Palm Springs. There are so many amazing locations, I wish we could make them all, but we have to pick and choose.
