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.

The packages are a bit more pricer than other photographers on the island BUT well worth it. We had over 200 photos to choose from and picked roughly 50 that I absolutely LOVE especially how i looks since I just had a baby. I swear Logan knew what angles to shoot my face and body since I'm still feeling a bit on the heavier side. If you are staying at the Westin and if you have kids Blinnk is a no brainer since all we had to do is get dress, walk down 5 mins from our Photoshoot time (8am) and the. Just have fun while Logan captured some fun moments Highly recommend Blinnk :)

From the start, he was very responsive with booking the best date/time and location for our family events. He provided a great list of beaches for me to review and choose from. We traveled to Hawaii with our 3yo and one grandmother so wanted to capture this family memory, especially the bond between my daughter and her grandmother. Mark answered all of my questions/concerns and gave me confidence we would capture a special day. He was amazing to work with during the session especially given our NOT easy 3yo who was tough to capture. He documented so many special photographs of our family and they are beautiful. He was brilliant and VERY patient working with our 3yo and cannot thank him enough for this. Pictures were also delivered faster than expected or stated in the contract. ***Major kuddos for his patience with out daughter and family. Overall--EXCELLENT and will book another session if returning to the Big Island. Thank you Mark!

They provided a table full of props that made excellent photo opportunities for our family and friends. Each guest was able to print a copy of their photo strip to keep for themselves and one strip for a wedding scrapbook. Attendants helped our guests put together a scrapbook page with their photos and a message to the bride and groom. The final scrapbook was priceless! It was so much better than the traditional guestbook. Afterwards, we even received a disk drive full of all the photos taken that night. We can't thank Aloha Photobooth enough for the added element of entertainment at our wedding. Dara did a wonderful job keeping in touch with us until our wedding day. She even made a lovely Valentine backdrop that looked great in the photos. I highly recommend Aloha Photobooth for your next event!

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
