THE VOW

For the wildly in love. Elopement and intimate wedding photography on Hawaiʻi Island, for couples who want to celebrate their own way.

 

The 4×4 Experience

Hawaiʻi Island is home to some of the most remarkable landscapes in the world, many of which lie beyond the more familiar destinations.

The 4x4 Experience offers access to remote locations, rugged volcanic terrain, and dramatic coastal landscapes that provide an extraordinary setting for your photographs.

With transportation available in my 4x4 vehicle, each experience is tailored to your vision, combining my knowledge of the island with an editorial approach to photography. Whether you're celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or simply looking for something beyond the traditional Big Island portrait experience, the possibilities extend far beyond the shoreline.

Portrait Experiences

Portrait photography is about more than beautiful surroundings. It's about capturing the individuality, personality, and genuine connection of the people in front of my camera.

From couples and engagements to maternity, families, and individual portraits, each experience is tailored to the people I'm photographing. My approach combines an editorial perspective with natural direction, creating a balance of sophisticated portraits and candid photographs that feel effortless and genuine.

Hawaiʻi Island offers an extraordinary variety of settings, from dramatic volcanic coastlines and black lava fields to lush tropical landscapes. Together, we'll select a location that complements your style and brings something distinctive to your photographs.

Specializing in elopement and intimate wedding photography on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, I combine an editorial perspective with a natural, unobtrusive approach, documenting the atmosphere, genuine emotion, and unscripted moments that make your celebration distinctly yours.

The Good Part


Great photography begins with a great experience. I bring a balance of creative direction, attention to detail, and a relaxed, personable approach to every photography experience.

You can expect thoughtful guidance without feeling overly posed, room for spontaneity, and an experience that feels as enjoyable as the photographs themselves.

Whether we're photographing along Hawaiʻi Island's dramatic coastline, heading off-road, or celebrating an intimate wedding, my approach remains the same: exceptional photography, genuine connection, and an experience that's entirely your own.

KIND WORDS


  • Working with Loryn was the least stressful part of our trip planning process!

    Within 2 weeks we needed to change flights, accommodations, and trip itinerary for our 10 year wedding anniversary trip. We also wanted some pictures to commemorate this wedding milestone! Loryn got back to us right away with her availability during our visit to the Big Island. She stayed in contact with us about location options, weather and timing. We adjusted our timing with her slightly to have the smallest chance of rain. She immediately made us feel at ease as soon as we met her. She gave great input for posing and made my husband feel very comfortable even though he doesn't love getting pictures done. She was the best "hype woman" for us both and it was so fun to work with her. There was a sprinkling of rain during our shoot and Loryn found a spot for us to take cover and stay dry. She went above on beyond on spending extra time taking pictures and giving us more edited photos back than we expected! She also gave great local recommendations for where to eat and drink. We were so happy with all the photos she took and how quickly she was able to get them back to us. If you are on the Big Island and looking for professional pictures, look no further than Loryn!

  • We were BLOWN away by the photos we got from Loryn!

    My husband and I were visiting the Big Island and we got our photos done by Kismet Photography, and we are SO happy we did!! They're some of the very best photos we've ever had taken of us! Loryn made us feel so comfortable and it was SO FUN!! My husband doesn't really like to have his photos taken, but he said afterwards how fun it was!! I was so thankful! Loryn captured us in so many beautiful candids that really show how we interact together naturally! Oh and her edits are so beautiful and our jaw dropped when we saw them!! Thank you Loryn, you're the BEST!!!

  • Loryn is a genuinely sweet soul.

    She absolutely made my family and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She is professional, kind, and very down to earth. My family and I loved having her as our photographer, and if we could hire her again, we definitely would. It was a little trip to Kona for my husband’s work, so I decided to Google photographers in the area. Luckily, Loryn was the only one available for the time and date we needed. It was like she was meant to be our photographer. We are very appreciative for Loryn, and we loved how she was very calm, and already had the vision of where to shoot our photos. It was the perfect location, the perfect sunrise, the perfect day with Loryn. She is absolutely a gem!

  • Loryn is one of the kindest most genuine people we have ever met.

    She is passionate not only about her work, but she is passionate about serving her clients in a way that is true and natural to who they are and who she is. Loryn was such a delight to work with. Her abilities to connect with my husband and I made the entire process so special and one we will forever cherish. We can truly say meeting Loryn was a part of our Hawaii experience that touched our lives forever.

  • Loryn is a fantastic photographer.

    She has a natural ability to connect which helps bring the best out of her clients. She is professional at coaching clients to make them look and feel their best. The attention to detail in the editing shows in the final results. Loryn will always be my first choice for all future professional photography needs!

  • I am beyond thankful for Loryn and her ability to not only make us feel comfortable and happy, but the quality of her photos as well.

    The undeniable talent she possess behind the camera is only bolstered by the unapologetic passion she puts on full display for any and everyone she works with. Both me and my husband couldn’t have been happier with our engagement photos. Having grown up with a mother who made her living as a photographer, we constantly had to pose for the camera…needless to say, it go old fast and I must admit that even now I’ve come to dread taking any kind of photos; but not with Loryn. She address my concerns and made sure to progress in a way that didn’t feel controlled or inauthentic. That was an amazing feeling- and now I look forward to booking Loryn for any and all important life events in the future. I cannot wait to see how to she continues to grow and expand on her passion for the art!
