About

Earths Island Photography is a wedding photography business located in Pahoa, Hawaii. I love working with light, love, and awesome people. My goal is to capture that special vibe that makes couples uniquely them. I’m a super fan of a rich cloudy Kona sunset, or a pastel Kalapana Sunrise. I also never shy away from shooting through a rain storm. You can count on me to be early, prepared and excited to support you through this monumental moment in your life. I can support you through aquiring permits and choosing the best location for your ceremony. I specialize in sunset beach elopements. I am brand new to WeddingWire but not to Weddings. I have had the honor of photographing over 100 weddings and 1,000s of couples. I have taught photography to students around the world, and although I have been shooting for over 15 years, my passion for photography only continues to grow. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Please note, much of the work in my portfolio were photographed at events planned by preferred vendor, Kona Wedding Officiant.

Terra- The best of the best!!

Terra photographed our wedding on Kukio Beach on December 13, 2024, and I can’t stop telling everyone how amazing she was! We had a medical emergency at the start of the wedding, and Terra so kind and empathetic. The medical emergency caused a delay in the ceremony, and Terra went above and beyond by staying beyond the scheduled time to capture additional photos of us. She also walked in the ocean to get the perfect picture angle! She is passionate about what she does, and she made us feel so comfortable! She are absolutely the kind of person I would want to be friends with in every day life! I highly recommend Terra!

The absolute best wedding photographer

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!

Truly magical!


Everything about our wedding day was truly magical- and Terra captured it all just beautifully! We were so comfortable and relaxed with her, and she just made everything feel so seamless and fun! She is kind and such a joy to work with! Terra was even able to work us in for a full family photo shoot the day before our wedding, so it was wonderful getting to know her a little before our big day. Our experience working with her, and her pictures, are truly beautiful. Mahalo Terra!

Best experience

We went thru a company that was unprepared. Terra saved our wedding. She was on point with communicating. She picked a lovely destination for us last minute 2 days before we were planning on getting married. The photography was amazing. She captured or day with breath taking photos. Wouldn’t change a thing. We both highly recommend Terra. Thank you so much Terra! You made our experience perfect!
