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. Her photos are breathtaking, the experience is effortless, and we will absolutely be back for a third session with Hannah!

Tetiana is great - she beautifully captured us and our family, was very professional during, and was timely and communicative afterwards. she texted us a small selection of pictures later that evening, that we were able to share until the rest of the album was finished; she said it would take 3-4 weeks for them, but the link to our gallery was provided via email only 2 weeks post-nuptials. she is on instagram as @tetiana__me_photography - and if you happen to be getting hitched in Hawaii, you won't regret working with her.

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

From the…read morevery beginning, Kris was incredibly responsive, thorough, and thoughtful about getting to know exactly what kinds of photos we wanted. He struck the perfect balance between capturing beautiful candid moments and making sure we got all of the posed and family/group photos that were important to us. We especially loved having some private sunset photos together -- those ended up being some of our favorite pictures from the entire day. Kris also did such a great job making us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. He was friendly, personable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We're so grateful to have such a beautiful collection of photos that capture both the big moments and all the little candid moments of our wedding day.

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.

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!
