James Rubio: Big Island of Hawaii Wedding Photographer »

We met this awesome Australian wedding photographer couple while partying it up at the WPPI convention in Vegas.  Craig mentioned doing a mutual shoot together which sounded like a super sweet idea!  They were great to hang out with and it was fun to be on the other side of the camera for once.  :)  Definitely a highlight of the trip and Red Rock Canyon was so beautiful. 

We’re so happy to have made these new friends.  Be sure to check out their excellent work if you are getting married in Australia!

Such a cute couple.

Want to see the photos they took of *us*?  Check it out at their blog post.  Thanks Craig and Diana!!!

Bev and I will be attending the WPPI Convention at MGM Grand Vegas this year and we leave for Vegas this Saturday!!  We just can’t wait! It will be a week of learning, networking, researching and FUN.  

Things I want to accomplish while there:

• Listen to and meet as many speakers/photographers as I can.  Being on the Big Island  can feel very isolating. It will be such a blessing to be able to meet and learn from all these other great photographers.
• See the latest products from vendors which will help with photography.
• Check out  every album vendor to see in person their albums and choose one to use.  I’d like to upgrade to a more high-end album vendor for my clients.
• Have a lot of quality time with Bev.  This is my highest priority since we’ve both been so busy with weddings recently and hardly have any time for ourselves.

Can’t wait!!!

Update: We just shot two awesome weddings this past weekend and we can’t wait to post some of the highlights.  Please check back soon!
