2016 Be Sage Wedding Professionals Conference in Cabo San Jose, Mexico

November was a great month, we spent a week in Cabo San Jose, Mexico for the Be Sage Wedding Professionals conference, if I had to describe it in one word, I would have to say it was AMAZING!! But of course, I can’t say just ONE word, I have to tell you ALL about it!!  Michelle and Kelly have created this wonderful event that brings people from all over the world together to share knowledge, inspiration and in the safest of environments where you can bring your ideas to the table without fear of judgement and know that everyone has your best interest at heart.  It really is the BEST!

SO Chris and I were photographing the speakers, details and all of the parties – I wanted to share a few with you, to show you how cool it is and  could barely narrow it down to my favorite 500 images! YIKES!!   Ready??  Start scrolling – I’ll add in a few stories here and there, but really – you should book your spot for Be Sage at Hilton Head 2017 so you can experience it next year for yourself! (I’ll be there!!)

The 2016 Conference was at the Secrets Puerto Los Cabos – an all inclusive, ridiculously gorgeous resort with super nice rooms, several pools and my favorite was the endless supply of over flowing champagne!

There were SO many great speakers with GREAT topics and I have a million pages of notes.  I would love to share them all – BUUUUUUUTTT… then this post would never get finished, because there is just not enough time.   Here are the key players from the conference & their instagram names, check out their sites they are dynamo wedding professionals that we can all learn from!
