Great Photographer! Amazing eye for setting and use of natural light/shadow! She was willing to meet us at our location and brave the risk of rain so we could get the perfect graduation and family photos... complete with teen wardrobe change! Would definitely use again and again!

Loryn is magical! It was amazing to work with her again (my husband and I did a photo shoot with her in 2022 for our 10 year wedding anniversary). We touched base with her to schedule a session when we were back on the Big Island- this time with our kiddos and my mom in tow! She was fantastic with planning and helping selecting timing/location for the photos. She is such a kind and genuine person and puts everyone at ease with her behind the camera. The photos are precious to have memories of this trip together and we will forever treasure her capturing those moments!

Lauren was professional, responsive and fun to work with! She recommended beautiful spots on the beach for our family photoshoot and took gorgeous photos! She was patient working with all three kids and was flexible. I wish we could work with her back home. Would definitely recommend her, she's amazing!

We could not be happier with how our photos turned out. Loryn is an exceptionally talented photographer. We look like models, and YES, we look like ourselves!!! Our experience with Loryn was a breeze from start to finish. From booking our shoot to purchasing all our photos, Loryn was always right there: engaged, responsive, warm, and dependable. She was so easy to reach whenever I had questions. Prior to the shoot, we discussed location details, and Loryn was willing to go the extra mile for us (both literally and figuratively). We were only visiting the big island, but man, do I wish Loryn could be our photographer back home for all our family photoshoots. She is a real gem, and we are so lucky we found her. She's the type of person who can leave a mark in your heart after meeting her just once!

Loryn was awesome right from the start. She was super easy to book with, pick a location, and even helped with suggesting the outfit colors. She went above and beyond during our photo session. It started to rain a bit and we braved the elements, she was always making sure we were comfortable. We had a double rainbow come out during our time on the beach and we tried to maximize our time with that backdrop. She wanted to make sure we did all the combinations of poses that we wanted, made us feel super comfortable and silly, even our teens had fun with it. I would absolutely book with Loryn again.

Loryn went above and beyond! She exceeded our expectations. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable. She was so good with our 9mo old son. The photos she took were stunning! We feel so blessed to have found her on IG. We hope to work with her again in the future!

We were vacationing from CA with my husband, a 2 year old, and I was 28 weeks pregnant. From my first contact with Loryn, it was a quick response and full of all the information I needed. We wanted a mini shoot for family and maternity. She had a few different package. Loryn helped me with colors of our outfits and was so helpful. You can tell just by email how much she loves her job. Loryn sent us the location of our shoot which was truly a hidden gem on the big island. We would have never gotten to experience this if it wasn't for her. The views were the best we had seen. When you meet Loryn you feel like you've known her! She is warm and makes you feel so comfortable. She was so patient with our 2 year old running around and captured our family so well! If I ever am in the same location as her again I will without a doubt be booking again! Anyone traveling to the big island should book a shoot with Loryn for the experience and the priceless keepsakes of these photos.

See all

I had the pleasure of working with Leah for my maternity shoot. 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.

Leah captured the most epic and ethereal photo memories of my precious growing Ohana! She helped…read morewith all facets of the shoot; from location and sunset timing to multiple outfit changes and shoot vibes! With two littles in tow she made us all feel calm and comfortable. My other half and even myself for that matter are not experienced models and can feel a little awkward in front of the camera but with Leah's gentle guidance and sweet reminders about posture or body positioning we felt confident in what we were doing. The photos came out amazing and I'm so happy she was able to capture these special pregnancy moments before we welcomed our third child! 11/10 recommend Leah for any of your photography needs.

There really are no words to explain how talented, professional, and all around awesome Josh & Miho…read moreare but because I feel so strongly that they are worth every single cent you'll spend to work with them I wanted to share my experience in hopes that it will help soon to be brides check another (hugely important vendor) off their list. When selecting the various vendors for our wedding day the top three things I looked for were cost versus value (i.e. do I feel like we'd be getting our money's worth), level of communication and timeliness of follow up, and style (does execution of the service and finished product that the vendor provides match the look and feel of what we wanted from our wedding day). Without a doubt, Fletch Photography nailed all 3. It felt like I either cyber stalked or actually reached out to every wedding photographer on the Big Island. I found that, for the most part everyone (more specifically everyone that is well reviewed) has similar pricing for for the photography packages offered. This definitely did not help in deciding on a photographer but at minimum is safe to say that Fletch's pricing is on par with equally talented photographers. Cost vs value- check. From Miho's initial response to my first email I could tell that communication wouldn't be a problem. The turnaround time for response to numerous emails was never more than a day or two and the tone of each was always warm and friendly. Aside from the pre-wedding emails, the level of day of and post wedding communication was clear and consistent. On my wedding day I never felt like I had to explain or clarify anything with either Josh or Miho. I felt like they just "got" us and were able to read and anticipate those picture perfect moments. Their non-verbal communication is on point as well- they were comfortable, relaxed, and unobtrusive. They put everyone around them at ease and it allowed for natural looking (as opposed to staged) photos. Communication- check. Go to Fletch Photography's website and check out their work. Seriously, I can't even elaborate on style because for us, theirs was so completely perfect and really, it speaks for itself. Style- CHECK! In short, I would HIGHLY recommend Fletch Photograph to anyone and everyone- not only are Josh & Miho professional, talented, and so clearly well reviewed, they are pretty much the nicest damn people you'll ever get the privilege of working with!

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

Rhianna is amazing in every way! I don't even know where to begin…read more I met Rhianna when picking out a wedding photographer 3 years ago. She took my wedding photos (through another vendor.) Rhianna happily met up with my husband and I two weeks before the wedding in Santa Barbara to go over photo options and do a complete walkthrough. On our wedding day Rhianna was early and ready to go. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She has such a fun, bubbly energy about her that it made our nerves go away. Her laughter and positivity is contagious! We laughed more with her than anyone else on our wedding day. Our photos from that day are absolutely stunning! Two years after our wedding, I reached out to Rhianna to have her take family photos with our one year old son. We are relocating away from Southern CA and I wanted special beach photos to remember this time in our lives - so these photos had to be perfect! She spent so much quality time with us to get the photos just right. We got our photos on time as expected as well. It was a great experience! Rhianna is extremely talented and great to work with! I would have her take all of my family photos for the rest of my life if possible! She is easy to communicate with, timely, and delivers high quality work. Her pricing is a steal also. Worth every penny! I highly recommend Rhianna for a wedding, family portraits, or any other important event you want to capture. She puts her all into her clients. Rhianna is the best of the best!

We met up and discussed outfits, location, and exactly what it was we wanted. She was so easy to talk to and work with. Not only did she have us laughing but she was completely professional. All we had to do was show up and she did the rest. We got our photos back and were blown away with the results. We got results that not only surpassed her super reasonable rates, but the photos were so incredible as well. She lead us through the entire experience with comfort and ease. It was like hanging out with my best friend for that time. I HIGHLY recommend Rhianna's work to anyone who's looking for not only breath taking photos, but also a relaxed environment where you can be yourself and let your beauty and happiness shine!!! Are there any more fancy descriptive words to throw in here to display me squeeling in happiness right now??!?? :)

THE ABSOLUTE BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER…read more Terra at Earth's Island Photography is an absolute rockstar. We are BEYOND THRILLED with our wedding photos (just look at them! they're incredible!) and on top of it, she was such a joy to work with from start to finish. We spent a lot of time looking at portfolios of different photographers in Hawaii, and Terra was far and above our favorite- and she captured for us exactly the beauty and love that we were so enchanted by in her portfolio. - Terra was so organized and helpful before the event, helping us with a proposed timeline for photos and travel (getting ready photos, ceremony, sunset couple photos, reception, etc), having us draft a list of the group photos we wanted to make sure to take, looking at examples for ideas of the kinds of photos we wanted, suggesting the best beaches for sunset photos, and even recommending places for our last-minute rehearsal dinner. Just everything- and it put us so at ease to have it all sorted. - She is such a kind and sweet human! She is so friendly and lovely, and made our wedding day just that more wonderful by being such a ray of sunshine. She coached us into flattering positions, she was creative and up for any shot, and she waded into the ocean and scrambled over lava rocks to make sure she go the best angles of us on the beach. Just a dream to work with. - What an expert! She knows what she's doing- and it shows. We loved that she had a ton of experience shooting weddings in Hawaii, and the photos she captured for us all day were just top-tier perfection. Her skills with the camera are exceptional, her skills with retouching are exceptional- she is such a highly-skilled photography professional and we could not have asked for better photos. Terra was so supportive, charming, and cheerful, she captured our wedding so beautifully and perfectly, and she delivered an amazing gallery of memories (faster than expected!) I cannot say enough good things about her- she is just amazing. Thank you SO MUCH Terra!

Chelsea is truly incredible and we're so thankful to have found her. She met us at our destination…read morewedding and might as well have been one of our guests. She is bright, bubbly, and super talented. She's able to walk into an unknown space, find the perfect lighting, and photograph the best moments. Chelsea captured so many moments without us even knowing it. Each photo takes us back in time. You can just feel the emotion behind every single photo Chelsea takes. She is very confident with a camera - which we loved. She does not miss a beat. When she says she's got your back, she means it. We trusted her and gave her full creative freedom to come up with shots - and wow what a great decision that was. Our advice? Do everything she suggests! Chelsea did all of this while also making us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. She radiates a super positive energy that somehow makes its way into the picture. You can just tell its there. We're so happy with the overall experience and final product. Highly recommend her service for events near and far. Thank you Chelsea for documenting our big day so perfectly! xoxo

I was planning a destination wedding in Hawaii and she was able to recommend a couple vendors for me even. She will work with you on a payment plan that works for you as well, even though I think her prices are extremely fair for the quality you're getting. She also helped out with our wedding day timeline with some tips on how to make things run smoothly and efficiently. She even had some thoughtful little touches that she added in here and there. I would definitely recommend her to any bride! Such a fantastic experience!!!
