We contacted Penei and Dard about our wedding with just over a month before we planned to have it... it was a semi-last minute decision to take advantage of being in Hawaii on a family vacation. All of our contact prior to the wedding were via email or phone, and Penei was always quick to respond and helpful in making decisions. Our wedding took place at Kuki'o Beach, a public beach located at the Four Season Resort on the Kona Side of the Big Island. It was a very memorable experience that we and our family enjoyed. We had both Dard and Penei as our ministers, and they preformed a Hawaiian themed ceremony for us. Our pictures were taken by Micheal Sato. We received our (ALL) photos on a DVD in the mail shortly after arriving back to the main land and were able to share them with the family members who were unable to attend at our celebratory dinners that week!

This was our second time booking with Hannah for family photos, and she exceeded our expectations…read moreall over again! From the moment we arrived at the beach right before sunset, her warm attitude and professionalism put the whole family at ease. Hannah is incredibly flexible and accommodating, which makes such a difference when you're wrangling kids and trying to capture something genuine. Hannah has a true gift for working with children. She knew exactly how to engage them, guide them into natural poses, and keep the energy light and fun. This resulted in beautiful photos that genuinely reflect who we are as a family. The sunset beach session was absolutely stunning, and Hannah used every bit of that golden Kona light beautifully. If you're searching for a family photographer on the Big Island, look no further.

The entire process from booking, to planning, and finally executing was so smooth. I was very appreciative of their accommodations to book over 4 months ahead of time and their secrecy to ensure the proposal was a surprise. On the day of the shoot, Israel discreetly informed me of the plan for the photos and how to progress into the engagement. Israel's talent with photography should not be understated. He has a keen eye for framing, using the environment to amplify his subjects, and profound creativity in shot composition to capture memories in the most authentic way. My fiancé and I are extremely grateful for his professionalism, skill, and warm attitude that made us comfortable the entire time. I would STRONGLY recommend working with Pacific Dream Photography in any way that fits your photography needs, but, particularly with Israel who captured our important day better than I imagined.

When Dawn showed us the completed photos, Christine and I were extremely happy. Dawn exceeded our expectations.
