anyone?
cuz i noticed there was one on Jan 29- Feb 2, but I cant tell if thats THE convention or just a "winter" convention with a bigger one coming in the summer. it sounds like the one this month is THE convention. which would suck cuz I didn't know it was this month and now its too short notice. |

Hi Mark,
Jan29-Feb2 is the winter convention. WEVA is usually in August. In Vegas also. Quote:

The main Expo will be sometime around August. Dates won't be announced till after the Expo in a week.
WEVA has teamed up with a photography association PMA to offer the winter Expo. It's cheaper, but the Vendor room is more geared towards the PMA offerings than WEVA. I"m not sure any of the major manufacturers are going to be there for us. The seminar list looks strong though. Otherwise, look for the August Expo. |

smart move by WEVA to align with photo expo. The cross pollination will benefit everyone.

Brian - I don't think the learning is all one way. But in general photographers have a much better handle on why most brides prefer photo over video.

A photograph is immediate and perpetual -- it needs no special method to be displayed and it is always there to see. On the other hand, video is an event, with a beginning, a middle and an end. It's not always on display -- it doesn't hang on a wall all the time (at least, not yet it doesn't). That's why a photograph has more initial appeal, because it's always there to be seen. Photography and videography are two different things, they do not compete against each other for the bride's dollars. It's not the job of the wedding videographer to compete against photography but rather to augment it and compliment it. The wedding videographer needs to sell the bride on the idea of doing a video in addition to photography, not instead of it. Sorry for going off topic but I couldn't let that go. |

let me rephrase that -
replace "most brides prefer photo over video". with "most brides hire a photographer and not a videographer" |

Generally speaking - from a customer's point of view, a wedding photographer's products are valued higher than a videographer's.
