On Saturday I attended a get-together for photographers and videographers called the "Eastern Shore Photog Shootout". The ESPS is a social/networking group started by Rob Nicholson, a wedding photographer from Lewes, Delaware, and incredibly, every photographer in attendance at the event is a wedding photographer (or videographer).
Saturday's event was split between two locations. First, we met at the clubhouse at Baywood Greens. Rob invited his newlywed friends Rob and Melissa to the event, to play our model bride and groom, and everyone had opportunity to take photos and share techniques and posing ideas.
Afterwards, we all went to the Greene Turtle in Lewes for some food and drink, and for the presentation/discussion portion of the day. There were discussions on pricing, search engine optimization, and social networking - all very useful and thought-provoking subject matter.
It was great to meet some really nice people, talk shop, share ideas, and do some networking. I'm really looking forward to the next ESPS get-together!
