WPPI Road Trip Like "The Hangover" for Wedding Photographers

OK, I lied. The WPPI Road Trip won’t really be like the “The Hangover“–no tigers in the bathroom, no babies in the closet. But it will be about upcoming weddings; specifically, about how to photograph them.
This is the third annual travelling seminar held by the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI). It kicks off August 8, 2011, in Long Beach, California. Here’s the full location list, with dates:
