    Kim took us on a sunset photo shoot for our engagement - she's professional, warm, and made us feel so comfortable. She made the night even more special, even brought a Lei for my fiancée. They prepare a nice slideshow of the photos by the next day, making it easy to pick which ones you want to keep. I would highly recommend having photos taken if you're staying at the Fairmont or if you're looking for a photographer in general. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    I visited Hawaii for my first time in May. My travel agent knows that I love having photo shoots, so she advised me that my resort, the Fairmont Orchid, had a photography studio on site. Needless to say, I was elated and booked my session online. The registration process was quick and straightforward. I booked a 45 minute session and met with my photographer/creative director, Loryn Restivo. She was very energetic and embraced my vision for my shoot. I wanted to be a Polynesian king. We walked to a remote part of the beach, and the magic began. It was early in the morning, and the sun provided superb lighting. Loryn took hundreds of shots of me with the perfect natural backdrops, including the ocean, sand, rocks and greenery. She even took some fabulous candid shots, and it seemed as if her camera loved me. Although our session was 45 minutes, it felt like we were stuck in time because of the magic that was occurring. After the shoot, we went back to the studio to schedule my photo-viewing appointment. Two days later, I met with Myca Laufenberg, who was very friendly. The hardest part about this entire experience was trying to select which photos I loved best. There were hundreds of flawless pictures and I loved them all! My photo shoot with Pacific Dream Photography was the highlight of my trip to the Big Island. I highly recommend them, and I'm certain that if you choose them you won't be disappointed. Aloha!

    See all

    Laura was wonderful to work with from the moment I contacted her via her website to check for her…read moreavailability during my family's visit to the Big Island. She was responsive to emails, helped me decide on a photoshoot location, and was on time for the shoot. Do keep in mind any time difference from where you are if that matters to you. My new mom brain scheduled our shoot past our baby's bedtime and didn't realize it until the week of when her calendar was already full (turned out fine). In real life, Laura was just as warm, friendly and understanding. The shoot was relaxed even with a young, unpredictable baby and I was surprised at how much fun we had. Laura provided us with directions on what to do and made us feel at ease. I wasn't sure how our photos would turn out since it was a hot and very humid September day, but Laura worked her magic and the results were so lovely. There were a variety of poses, closeups, and wider angle shots I didn't even know she was capturing. My husband even commented how much better these were than our wedding photos and I totally agreed. I highly recommend Laura if you're searching for a photographer. Her work is top notch, she is fantastic to work with, and her rates are very competitive. I can't wait to return!

Laura was absolutely wonderful to work with from the start. She helped me choose just the right location for the proposal and she helped me plan the surprise perfectly. She arrived at the location just before we did, and she waited in a spot where she could blend in and not give away the surprise. She captured this special moment in our lives perfectly. I am delighted with the beautiful quality and artistry of the pictures of our engagement. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is planning to propose and wants to have incredible memories saved in truly elegant photos. Thank you Life and Light Hawaii.

    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

    A hurricane storm came on the same day of our wedding which we had to reschedule. Josh was not able…read moreto reschedule and did not refund any of our money. So now we're out $750. Also, communication from Josh's end leading up to our wedding was almost nonexistent. Josh took multiple days to respond to texts and sometimes never returned them only until we told our wedding coordinator about the lack of communication.

    Highly recommend this extremely talented duo! We came across @alohazoephotography work on Instagram…read moreand knew we had to book them. Their aesthetic and vibe was exactly what we were looking for and they seemed like genuine people we wanted to adventure with! Planning our wedding on the Big Island from SoCal in less than 6 months was easy breezy with the help of Ryan and Corrine. They were wonderful to work with from start to finish- getting to know us and getting a feel for our dynamic, and hearing us out on our vision. I feel like we bounced ideas off each other and it was a great creative space! Their project management is efficient and their communication is so on the ball. They have it very much together. Our big day and adventure session was captured so beautifully by them. We think a big part of their talent comes from their ability to truly connect with their subjects. Their warmth and excitement for us made us feel so grounded and light and it radiated in the pictures! My family and I are obsessed with our phenomenal photos and the team behind the cameras. Such lovely people. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for getting to work with Ryan and Corrine!

    Since getting married + having kids, we have had our share of professional photography done. I…read morehave loved all our experiences throughout the years and (dare I admit) have become accustom to some pretty high standards. Needless to say, Corinne + Ryan blew it out of the water! From the very moment I contacted Corinne + Ryan, they were very responsive and flexible given our limited time on the island. Typically they specialize in weddings and intimate adventures with couples, however they were excited to take on my request for family photos. We shared/brainstormed ideas regarding location, logistics with kiddos, and capturing my overall "vision." On the day of our shoot, they went as far as scoping out the location an hour beforehand just to make sure everything was good to go. Due to some challenges we faced, they provided other location options to ensure a better outcome. I'm so glad they did!!! Upon meeting them in person they were just as amazing as I thought they'd be. They were great at directing us, made my kids smile, and created the perfect experience for my family and I. Even after the shoot, they continued to communicate timelines and shared some incredible sneak peeks. The images they captured were absolutely stunning!!!! These are photos I will truely cherish forever. The overall experience and finished product were the best!!!! Thank you Corinne + Ryan....you are such special people with amazing talent and I'm forever grateful for your service!!!
