I absolutely LOVE what I do! I laugh and smile with you behind the lens until MY cheeks hurt! I pinch myself every day that I get to live out my passion and still have my toes in the sand while I work. On the daily I am excited to be a part of every wedding, elopement, family, maternity – it’s a snippet of time in your lives that I am honored to be part of; every single day I cannot wait to get my camera in hand! I hope your experience with me will be one to remember, and that the photos you receive back will reflect that fun we all had together that day.

Dawn and her staff were an absolute dream to work with! She provided us with EVERYTHING we could have imagined. I 1000% recommend her and you would be so pleased and happy with her!

Karen Loudon Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

I wouldn’t trade my job for anything. It’s a huge honor and privilege to photograph passionate celebrations between families and friends. My clients let me into their personal space and trust me to document with honesty and grace their deepest emotions: their love, their tears, their laughs, and their fears. For this I am grateful beyond words. While weddings are 90 percent of my work, they are not all of my work — and honestly, I think that’s a good thing. Shooting families & children keeps me inspired and allows me to see the world differently, which plays into how I document events

Aloha! I love showing people how beautiful they are through capturing their precious moments.

I am passionate about love and photography, and I put everything into my work. I am married and have two beautiful little boys who are also my passions in life.

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!

I'm Anita, a wedding photographer based out of Big Island, Hawaii. I grew up in Oregon and frequently travel there for my clients! I love telling stories through my camera, and I can't wait to tell yours. From documenting your engagement to signing your wedding license and getting down on the dance floor- I'll be right there with you along for it all. My style is timeless and documentary. My goal is to capture the small authentic moments that made you feel loved.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re so happy with the photos Anita captured from our wedding! She has an amazing eye for candid moments. None of the photos felt staged; they were just so natural and half the time we didn’t realize she was even taking photos. Anita was super easy to work with and blended right into the day. She made everyone feel comfortable and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive. Looking through the photos feels like reliving the whole day, and we couldn’t ask for more. If you want a photographer who gets those real, authentic moments, Anita’s your girl. We’re so grateful for everything she did to make our memories last forever.

Creation Swells Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Kailua Kona, HI

As a child, I fell in love with Hawaii. When the opportunity presented itself in 2015 for me to return to the state permanently, I jumped at the opportunity. I relocated myself and the business to the Big Island, and have been living on the Island of Hawai’i ever since. After serving our nation as an Officer in the Air Force, I went back to school for a Masters in Counseling Psychology and accidentally found a passion for photography. Realizing that I love hearing and seeing the stories that surround us, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Professional Photography and founded Creation Swells Photography.

Knots in the Pines 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Kailua Kona, HI

Hello! I'm an adventure elopement and intimate wedding photographer. We offer photo services for all sorts of small weddings, but specialize in hike-out elopements. I work with my husband, Joe, to make your dream intimate wedding or elopement a reality. I find the perfect locations for my couples and plan a fun adventure with lots of gorgeous photos, while Joe prepares a lovely ceremony (he's a Humanist minister) complete with guitar music (Joe's services are optional). We also offer all-inclusive elopements, complete with flowers, food, booze, cake, and more, so the only planning you have to do is get a wicked cool outfit and show up :)

Selecting Knots in the Pines as our photographer was hands down the BEST decision we made for our big day. I knew immediately meeting Victoria that she was the right match for us because she has such a genuine warmth and kindness about her that makes you feel seen and supported throughout the entire planning process and the day itself. She made sure she really understood who my husband and I are individually and as a couple so she and Joe could bring our vision to life. Having Victoria in our corner made me feel so much more confident planning a Hawaiian elopement from way out of state as someone with no exposure to Hawaii beforehand. She made sure my husband and I were informed on everything we needed to know to make sure the ceremony went off seamlessly and was our #1 supporter who thought of every last detail and helped guide us in the right direction! The process of taking photos with her was completely stress-free because she and Joe felt like old friends by the time of the ceremony. Joe officiated a very tasteful ceremony for us and sang and played music for our first dance. We appreciated the special touches involved in his style and were happy to have a ceremony that both had structure but felt intimate and relaxed. The photos themselves turned out STUNNING and far surpassed any expectations I had. We were overwhelmed by the number of fantastic, frame-worthy shots Victoria captured. To give you an idea, I created a “favorites” album and it literally included 400 photos, which is an insanely good value for their extremely reasonable prices. Our wedding included a variety of locations and Victoria nailed the photography and editing involved with each one. We are classic “awkward photo” people who have no idea how to pose, but with her guidance and vision, we kept hearing that our photos look like something straight out of a magazine and that AI couldn’t create a more beautiful image that Victoria did (in a natural setting with two normal people and a LOT of talent!) Our photos speak for themselves, but I can promise you that booking with them will be a decision you’ll be eternally grateful you made! *Note that some of these photos are screenshots because the resolution of the images was too high for Zola. They’re all crystal clear and high resolution.

Big Island Hawai'i Photographer

Originally from Chicago, I grew up with my mother taking our photos. When I got to be a bit older I started to appreciate those photos and the lifetime memories they captured. I started taking photos for friend's events and gifting my photos at holidays. I was also a middle school teacher for 12 years and also coached the cross country team. I would take photos for the families and eventually blessed to be able to have photography be my full time gig. I love capturing beauty in others that they may not always see in themselves and at once in a lifetime events they can remember; not only the event but the emotions present there.

It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with.

All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day.

From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

From the moment I first spoke with Johnny, I knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. His communication style was always professional yet funny, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - he had incredible ideas and executed them perfectly, capturing all the best moments of our special day. I have a horrible memory, but every time I turned around, he was there, almost as if he could see exactly what I wanted and needed pictures of to remember the day. My now husband *hates* his picture taken, but even our posed photos never looked stiff or awkward thanks to his expertise. Johnny was as sweet as can be and truly did the absolute best work. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding celebration.
