I cannot recommend Dawn Eicher enough as a wedding photographer! From the moment we booked her, she went above and beyond to ensure our special day was captured flawlessly. Our wedding gallery is an absolute dream - I find myself constantly staring at the images, reliving every emotion and moment.
Dawn has an incredible talent for capturing vibrant colors and genuine emotions. Every photo from our ceremony is filled with so much warmth and love, it's like being transported back to that magical moment. She has a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every shot is perfect and truly represents the essence of the day.
One of the things that impressed us most was Dawn's ability to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease, even during the chaos of family portraits. She kept the atmosphere light and fun, even managing to coax a smile out of our little nephew who was overdue for his nap!
But perhaps the most unforgettable part of our experience with Dawn was the sunset photos she took us for after the ceremony. She whisked us away to a secluded beach where we were greeted by the most breathtaking sunset I've ever seen. And as if that wasn't magical enough, three sea turtles made an appearance, turning our photoshoot into something straight out of a fairy tale.
Dawn's passion for her craft is evident in every shot she takes, and her dedication to capturing the beauty and emotion of our special day is truly commendable. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will exceed your expectations and leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime, look no further than Dawn Eicher. She is simply phenomenal! -

Her pictures are hands down the most stunning collection of visual memories we could have imagined. She seemed to magically be everywhere at all times, flawlessly capturing every moment of our ceremony and celebration. When we received our pictures (in record time, no less) we were genuinely blown away. It's been a couple of months and we still have not been able to narrow down the options for ordering our album or prints because every photo looks and feels so perfect.
Her poise is the calm in the storm we all need on our wedding day. She made everything so natural and comfortable, which allowed her to also collect so many fun candid moments. Nothing ever felt awkward, staged or contrived, which seems practically impossible to have pulled off.
Her likeability is off the charts. This matters because your photographer is essentially your shadow on your big day. He/she will be everywhere you are. Our wedding was a very small intimate, family member affair, yet Dawn seamlessly blended right in, from the very first minute, as if we had known her for years. She was funny, warm and just an absolute joy to be around.
We all know wedding expectations are often sky high. Yet Dawn truly soared far past our hopes on every level. -

Engagement Photos December 2020
What first drew me to Dawn is her amazing portfolio of work! She is so talented, I was instantly drawn to the vibrancy of color in her photos and how the vibrant she kept backdrops of Hawaii while still keeping focus on the couples (I mean it’s so important when you choose beautiful a place to take photos right!?! 😊) Not only is Dawn talented, but she is equally professional and goes out of her way to provide the highest level of customer service. We were navigating our trip to Kona through the safe travels program during the pandemic and Dawn was so accommodating from booking and even after the shoot. We got exactly what we had hoped for and more! Thank you Dawn!! -

Dawn is truly the best! It is so important to hire a photographer who is easy going, professional, and punctual. I saw Dawn’s work online and was so impressed. However, she exceeded my expectations! Leading up to my wedding she was incredibly helpful and provided me with information on vendors and locations. Not to mention the final product was stunning! She is truly an artist and I can’t recommend her enough! -

The Best Photographer on the big island
Dawn, i cannot say thank you enough. I relive our wedding daily looking at these photos. You captured everything flawlessly. You made us feel so comfortable and are a sense of calm in such a hectic day. You helped me with every question over a two year wedding process without hesitation. You were a God send to me. I am so thankful I chose you to photograph the best day of our lives. If you are thinking about booking with Dawn please do you will not regret it 10/10. I could go on and on. -

Look no further!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, just stop right here! Dawn is INCREDIBLE. I promise you will not regret working with her. I've been trying to find the right words to describe how amazing she was to work with and I found that words won't do her justice. She was an amazing sounding board when talking through the timeline of the day, and very responsive! On the day of the wedding it felt like we had known each other for a long time already! She made everyone VERY comfortable and was extremely kind. We received our photos back in just a few weeks and they are exquisite. You can relive the emotion of the day through her photos. 3 months later and we still haven't been able to make printing decisions because we love TOO MANY OF them! What a great problem to have. 10/10 recommendation for working with Dawn! She is worth it! -

Meloney B. Sent on 11/04/2022So glad we had Dawn!
Dawn was fantastic! I'd been searching for a photographer who had experience photographing PoC and interracial couples. Our wedding photos are gorgeous! We were so happy with how she captured us. Her style is journalistic photograhy - she captures real moments and gives them an editorialized glow. Images appear vibrant, realistic and sophisticated. On our wedding day, she made us feel at ease in front of the camera, we never felt awkward. 14 days after our wedding we had our full wedding photographs delievered to us - fully edited and curated. That was 750 beautiful images! If you have ideas, communicate them and she will make them happen. Shes a great collaborator; we also had a videography team and the two of them worked so well together. No stepping on each others toes. She is a phenomenal photographer, you will not regret choosing her! -

Dawn did an amazing job with not only taking our pictures but with the whole process! We were very comfortable around her, she listened to us and helped us get an amazing photo on the lava rocks which is better than I could have dreamed of. We also got our wedding photos back very quickly and I am obsessed with them. Very professional and she always got back to me very quickly if i had any questions. She showed up on wedding day ready to go and very prepared. Loved Dawn and highly recommend her!! -

Aisa G. Sent on 08/24/2022Quintessential Professional and very knowledgeable
Dawn is absolutely fantastic - a quintessential professional. We highly recommend her. Our wedding was at the Royal Kona Resort, and she works very well with the staff there and is extremely knowledgeable about the best photography locations around the resort. We were working on a budget and were only able to have her for two hours. She definitely made the most out of her time there and was able to organize our friends and family to capture great images in a short period of time. She is so warm and friendly and made us feel very comfortable from the beginning. We plan on hiring her again for our one-year anniversary photographs. Thank you, Dawn, for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful. We look forward to seeing her again soon. -

quality, professional, easy, timelines
My fiance and I had never taken professional photos so I did not know what to expect. Dawn instantly broke the ice and connected with us in such a wonderful way that we had no idea by time our shoot was done, we had spent that time taking pictures! It was the best experience I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend doing at least the hour shoot with two locations. The pictures were incredible that we got back. Not to mention, we got them back so quickly and we live on Maui where she did our photos. I am so happy I chose Dawn Eicher Photography and we will choose her time and time again. All around, a perfect experience. I will recommend her to everyone. Mahalo nui loa. -

Dawn was absolutely the best choice we could have made to photograph our wedding. She is incredibly talented. Her photos are jaw droppingly beautiful. Dawn made us feel at ease and helped guide us into positions for gorgeous photos that didn’t feel posed - we got to just be ourselves.
We got married at the Royal Kona Resort and she was ready with suggestions for where to do our 'first look' photos and backup options for others. She was great to communicate with the days/weeks/months leading up to our wedding. We didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day related to our photos. She was right there and captured the magic of our wedding day perfectly. 100% would choose her again, we're so unbelievably happy she decided to photograph our wedding for us!!!! -

Dawn provided THE BEST memories (photos and videos) of our daughters wedding! I have used Dawn in the past and I’m so in love with the pictures she has captured that when my daughter got engaged, Dawn is the first person I booked! She is very talented and I love her work. You will not be disappointed. -

Dawn is an amazing photographer! Her photos are very natural which we love. We did our engagement session with her in early morning with bright sun and she easily worked around any shadows. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire session and we had so much fun. It was truly enjoyable and we will definitely book with her again next time we want pictures in Hawai’i! -

Ashleigh J. Sent on 08/19/2022BOOK NOW! Don't miss out of the best Photographer in Hawaii
Dawn was a life saver for our wedding. After covid postponed our wedding 3 times, our original photographer bailed, leaving us 10 days to find a photographer. Dawn gave up her Mothers Day to be there for us. I wish Dawn was doing wedding photography when we chose our photographer in 2019. When I say life saver I mean it. Not only did she show up on time but she came with the best attitude. Nothing but smiles. She truly understood our desires of having candid photos being the main goal. The pictures came out better than I could have imagined. You can tell when looking at the pictures she has a true talent and passion for this line of work. She is something special. Not only that but she helped with the timeline. When we wanted to relax a bit longer during cocktail hour she notified the chef to delay dinner a bit. I couldn't believe the amount of effort she put in to make our day special. Spare yourself the headache and time and just book Dawn! You will not regret it! -

When it comes to choosing the perfect photographer for your wedding, trust me you will need someone who is not only capable of shooting stunning photos but also capable of enabling you to chill, have fun and be the most natural self for your big day!
Dawn is THE ONE! We were so lucky to have her shooting for our beach wedding on Big Island. From the pre-event communications, to the day of, and to the post-production, Dawn made us feel that we were in good hands throughout (and the final products have proved that we were 😉)! She is very flexible and adaptive, and with her experience and knowledge in shooting for weddings, it was so enjoyable for us and for other of our vendors to work with her! Being an expert with a creative mind, she was humble and happy to build upon our ideas and made sure to capture the moments that we were not able to see.
My parents unfortunately couldn't make it to our wedding due to the pandemic but after I shared the wedding photos that Dawn took for us, my mom said "I felt like I didn't miss a thing because the photographer captured every precious moments!".
Last but not least, Dawn really cares! On the day of, she's like a big sister who wants to make the day as smooth as possible. Beyond her photographer's job, she was also running around making sure my vails was attached correctly (cuz it might fly away by the beach!), and me and my husband stay hydrated, etc. She even helped our videographer carried her bag down to the venue from the bride's prep room.
Dawn made our big day magical and I'm sure she will make yours too! -

Dawn is a must have!
Dawn Eicher was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding at the Royal Kona Resort in Hawaii on November 13, 2021. Dawn was responsive, punctual, professional and just amazingly comfortable to work with. Dawn guided our family for the wedding and reception photos and captured one of the most important life events perfectly. We received our photos in the rime frame as promised.
THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!
The quality and creativity of the photos are excellent. We could not have been happier.
We would highly recommend Dawn for any of your photography needs.
You will not be disappointed. She is absolutely fabulous. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her on this day. ☺️ -

Beautiful Quality Photos
My wife and I chose Dawn to photograph our vow renewal for our 10th anniversary. We weren't sure we were going to use a photographer but I am so glad that we did. The photos are beautiful and we are extremely happy with them. I would highly recommend Dawn for your wedding, vow renewal or any occasion when you visit the Big Island. -
