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

However, when we received the photos from our session just 24 hours later, we were truly amazed. The images showcased us as the happiest and most beautiful family. Let me set the scene on the real image 2 exhausted parents side eyeing each other and their kids running around in the sand. We've lost complete control of them and are actually trying to control 3 children under the age of 5. They are losing their exhausted minds, while our photographer made miracles happen, capturing the essence of our time on the island. The photographer worked wonders, and it was evident that she dedicated hours to editing our photos. We left the beach that day feeling the onlookers rethinking any thoughts of having children but in contrast, our family appeared in the photos as if we were living our best day on the island, radiating joy and warmth. Going in know it's not cheap. Put it in your budget because it's something that you will have FOREVER. Remember that they are very good at what they do. In my case I checked around and it's just a little less than most but better quality and EXCELLENT customer service. Went in just wanting one family photo and I bought all of them on the thumb drive. The pictures were not taken recently but I still have them and I'm going again to have them taken so I'll update again. The reviews are still good so I wanted to add. Still no buyers remorse. Still get compliments on their photos.

I first looked on Yelp for wedding photographers. Dawn came up as 1 of the top 5 photographers in Kailua-Kona. After reading the reviews and going through her portfolio, we decided we needed to have Dawn as our photographer. Christine and I were ecstatic Dawn would be available for our special day on such short notice. She's was responsive and listened to our needs. Dawn was also recommended to us by our wedding planner Maggie. The day of the wedding, Dawn knocked on our hotel room door with a huge smile. She's super approachable and most of all funny. You can tell Dawn is extremely passionate about capturing that special moment. And it shows in almost every picture she takes. When Dawn showed us the completed photos, Christine and I were extremely happy. Dawn exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for an awesome, talented, funny and outgoing photographer, look no further. You won't be disappointed!

We were so excited to work with Alex. We spoke with him multiple times in planning for our wedding…read moreand he seemed to understand our vision. Our initial conversations were in February, in preparation for our December wedding. We were expecting our first child in June and wanted to have everything in place in advance of the birth. Alex assured us we were on his calendar. A few weeks later, he sent a contract that incorrectly named the groom and lacked important details. After many times contacting him to make the changes, we finally got in touch by phone in early May. At the time he was experiencing family challenges, but again assured us we were on his calendar and that he would get a contract to us as soon as he could. In September, now less than 3 months before our wedding and juggling a 3 month old child, we reached out to finalize our contract with him and he has still not responded, even to say he would not be able to complete the contract. We contacted him by phone, email, and text - twice - but to no avail. We felt totally left in a lurch and scrambling to find a replacement so close to "go time". We hope that Alex's family is safe and healthy and wish him the best. He was kind and passionate about his work, and seemed to be a really great human. However, we cannot recommend him as a photographer and in the end feel extremely frustrated by the experience.

You can really tell that he is passionate about his job and his pictures really showcased how artistic he is. He called me about a week before my wedding to learn a little bit about us and what type of backgrounds and poses we preferred. He also gave us some great tips to prepare us for our poses on our wedding day. Alex was very genuine, warm, friendly and made us feel very comfortable when we met him in person on the day of our wedding. He was also very accommodating and went out of his way to fulfill our requests for some of the poses and type of backgrounds we wanted. He took some gorgeous sunset pictures of us that I am absolutely in love with! I received so many compliments from all our friends and family about his beautiful pictures. Also, he kept in touch with us before and after the wedding to give us information and he kept us updated on the status of our photos. He responded very quickly to any questions or concerns via text and email. In addition, he was very prompt to send us all the edited photos. He has beyond exceeded our expectations. The money was definitely worth it for the quality of our photos and the great service. Overall, my husband and I are very happy with all of our wedding pictures. I would definitely recommend Alex Klarc Photography to anyone that wants beautiful pictures and outstanding customer service. Thank you, Alex, for capturing all the special moments on our wedding day!
