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!

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

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!

Big Island Hawai'i Photographer

  • Serves Kailua Kona, HI

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.

Vic was the best photographer my husband and I have ever worked with!!! We hired her for our wedding and she was so professional and fun to work with. My family, bridal party and guest loved her! Vic had us laughing the entire time and made us feel comfortable with posing and suggested us the best ideas too. After a week or 2 after the wedding we got our photos and they were breathtaking!! Most photos I didn’t realized she captured since she was so quick on her feet. It looks like there was 3 photographers since she got all angles from the ceremony, speeches, and dances. We are so impressed by how amazing she is. We highly recommend her to photograph any event you have and want to make sure everything is captured!

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

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.

Johnny was absolutely wonderful to have as part of our wedding day. From the moment he arrived (early, of course), he brought such a calm, steady energy that instantly made both my husband and me feel comfortable—which is saying something, because neither of us is particularly into posing for photos. The complimentary engagement shoot was such a smart and generous touch. It gave us a chance to loosen up, find our rhythm with him, and honestly made the wedding day feel that much smoother. He gave just the right amount of direction when we needed it—but the real magic was in the candid shots. He caught moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and now we get to relive them with full hearts and full clarity. Johnny didn’t just take pictures. He helped. He quietly supported so many little things that weren’t even his job—and did it all with this clear passion and grounded presence that made him feel like a friend, not just a vendor. If you’re looking for someone who truly sees the day—who captures the energy, the in-between moments, the real stuff—hire Johnny. Don’t wait. He’s the one.
