Jimmy and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Josh Fletcher with Fletch Photography…read more Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions we made while planning our destination wedding on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, and Josh exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we first connected with him, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely kind. On the day of our wedding (February 5, 2026), he was truly a dream to work with. His personality is so calm, easygoing, and reassuring, which made the entire experience feel effortless and relaxed -- something we appreciated so much during such an emotional and meaningful day. When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. The photos are breathtaking. Josh captured every moment so beautifully -- from our church ceremony, to our traditional Hawaiian sunset ceremony overlooking the ocean where we exchanged our vows, to our reception celebration. He perfectly documented not only the big moments, but also the quiet, emotional, and candid ones that mean so much. It was clear from the beginning that Josh understood our vision, and he delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. His talent truly shines through every single image. If you are getting married on the Big Island and are looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, professional, and wonderful to work with, we wholeheartedly recommend Josh. We are so grateful we found his portfolio while searching for photographers in Hawaiʻi, and these photos are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Mahalo, Josh, for capturing our wedding day so perfectly. We already cannot wait for our return to the Big Island and would love to have you capture our family as it grows. -- Mary & Jimmy Kopanic

You could tell that they genuinely cared about the quality of their work and the satisfaction of their customers.

The experience was great, she made the entire process enjoyable, and we are still getting facebook compliments from everyone who views the pictures on facebook.

I searched several options via…read moregoogle for big island photography and finally chose her because I appreciated the photos on her website, the ease/vibes in communication, and pricing. The steps to book were exactly as listed on the website. The communication was always professional yet kind and comfortable. The photo shoot was far more than I imagined. She helped pick a beautiful setting based on the goals I had. During the session she was thoughtful, engaging, creative and made me feel like a goddess, so beautiful and radiant. The final product brought tears to my eyes. I blame the pregnancy hormones and her incredible skill. I cannot wait for she and her lens to capture more moments of my family to cherish for a lifetime.

We connected immediately on the phone and via email. She responded to emails right away and was able to suggest alternate locations when the weather prevented us from wedding on our first choice beach. The day of the wedding of course emotions were running high but she did an amazing job of calming them and performed a beautiful Hawaiian chant at our ceremony. She was extremely patient and loved all the props that I brought to make our photos unique. She was able to capture the love in our hearts and provide us with pictures we will cherish all our lives. Finally, the photos were ALL incredible. I was fully prepared to alter them as needed as her rates were so reasonable I assumed we would receive rough images. That was NOT THE CASE. Her photos were gorgeous and undoubtedly she did touch up a few. If not I want her to follow me around everyday. I cannot say enough good things about her pictures and professionalism. I wish I lived on the Big Island so I could use her more and trust me when I return I will look her up. With the warmest Aloha thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!
