WeddingMBA

Posted on September 28, 2008

The Wedding Merchant Business Academy last week was everything we hoped it’d be, and more. We learned a ton about the business side of the business of wedding photography.

We stayed in Scottsdale, because a) we got a good deal on a really neat hotel; and b) there are a ton of great places to eat out there. (As we discovered the first night there, many of them are closed on Sunday night.)

Monday we took a mini-holiday; we visited the Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum. It turned out to be an enormous building full of rocks – but what rocks! There was a case full of fulgurites, formed when lightning strikes; there was another case full of small bowls turned from all kinds of minerals, from jade to dinosaur bone. Our next stop was the Arizona Capital Museum, where we saw exhibits on the USS Arizona, the Phoenix Mars Lander, and some of the history behind the New Mexico Territory’s bid for statehood.

The WMBA held an opening gala and pre-registration event on Monday night at the Wyndham Phoenix. By the time we got back from that, we were pretty worn out.
