I am really glad Yelp led us to you Sheri! We had our venue picked and then Sheri emailed us last minute to tell us of last minute changes. It was really nice of her to do actually. Kona's state fair was being held near our original venue and I am glad we changed because I think it would be too distracting for the kids! The new location was so picturesque..wow! There was 8 adults and 13 toddlers. It was a a big group. Hannah was our photographer and sick and all she was a professional. She was so patient with the 6 couples, 2 grandmas, and 13 toddlers. We just received our pictures and I am really happy with them. Thank you to the Kelilina group! Hope to book when we return!

I am not exaggerating one bit. My husband and I aren't the best in front of the camera. We are what some may say camera shy. Sarah broke us out of that shell and captured some miraculous photos capturing the beauty of Hawaii and the love my husband and I have for each other. She even got a few photos of my husband with this look that he is giving me, and I cry because it's a look I've never seen him give to me before. It's a look that shows how much he truly loves me. I would 100% recommend for others to chose Kelilina Photography to capture special moments and don't forget to ask for Sarah she's incredible! You wont be disappointed!

Tetiana is great - she beautifully captured us and our family, was very professional during, and was timely and communicative afterwards. she texted us a small selection of pictures later that evening, that we were able to share until the rest of the album was finished; she said it would take 3-4 weeks for them, but the link to our gallery was provided via email only 2 weeks post-nuptials. she is on instagram as @tetiana__me_photography - and if you happen to be getting hitched in Hawaii, you won't regret working with her.

My husband and I planned our destination wedding remotely and came across Molly Irene Media in our…read moresearch for wedding photographers. She was prompt to respond to our inquiry and it was easy to work with her to secure the date, setup the contract, and discuss what we wanted for our wedding, even from several thousand miles away. We met in person the week of the wedding and walked around the venue to plan which areas would be good to take our group photos on the day of, and also because she wanted to see how the sunlight would be at the time of our ceremony and reception. This preparation and attention to detail came through in the images we got back from our wedding day. On the big day, Molly and her assistant, Lux, were on time and quickly got to work capturing all of the important, as well as the easily overlooked, moments of the day. From the final hour of preparation before walking down the aisle, to standing at the alter, to the dinner & reception, Molly and Lux were never in the way, but rather stealthy captured amazing pictures without distracting from the event itself. Having been to weddings in the past where the sound of the camera distracted from the vows, or the photographer blocked guests from seeing the ceremony or speeches - we were so lucky to have had these moments captured without any distraction - so much so that some friends later commented that they didn't know we had a photographer during parts of the day. And then to the quality of the pictures Molly captured - absolutely stunning and so artistic. Family and friends have continued to comment on just how amazing the pictures turned out. It was truly priceless to have one of the most important days of our life captured in such spectacular beauty. In all, Molly is very organized, timely, and responsive - all attributes that made it easy to work with her as we planned our destination wedding. But most of all, she is incredibly talented. Throughout our wedding day, Molly's calm and confident aura put us at ease, and the pictures that she took are images that we will cherish forever. When a wedding day can quickly speed by, and little details can turn into stressful events, having a photographer that could capture the beauty of the day and make everyone feel calm and happy was truly a gift.

I was able to find Molly in a google search and upon speaking with her via email found her rates to be significantly more reasonable and she was very accommodating in terms of what I had planned. The day of the ceremony, she was very easy-going and creative--even climbing up a nearby tree to capture a few unique shots (the circle of feet in white rubber slippers), most of which have become our favorite shots of the day! For having only met her via email, and worked with her the one day of my wedding, I have been thrilled with my wedding photos ever since! I would gladly use her again for any other photographer-worthy event should I ever be home on the Big Island again!

I am so extremely disappointed with the lack of service by this company. I spent a considerable…read moreamount of time reviewing their floral offerings on their website before finally settling on one design. I specifically chose the design I did because of the floral content as well as the color scheme. I specifically chose one that did NOT have bold colors. I even spoke to the shop the day after I placed the order to confirm delivery time and no mention was made at all about needing to make any changes. This business apparently uses an iPhone for their business phone and employs text messaging. That's not a problem at all however it does demonstrate the ease at which communication regarding changes could have been. Instead they chose to use completely different and cheaper flowers in what they delivered vs what I ordered. I say cheaper because anyone who knows anything knows that mums are cheap and when it comes to Hawaii so are bird of paradise. They grow everywhere. I was told that "some of the flowers were out of season". Which ones? The noticeably missing ORCHIDS? I'm supposed to believe that orchids were "out of season" on a Hawaiian island where orchid leis abound? All I wanted was what I ordered. Nothing more, nothing less. It was intended to be for my sister who was getting married and it cost me $157!! If I wanted the flower type they gave me, I could have ordered a significantly LARGER arrangement for less money!! In the screenshots you can see the shop insisted they would go pick it back up and they would reach out to the bride. I felt this was disruptive but whatever. Well, they NEVER did that. This matters because of how they handled my dispute with PayPal. When I tried to follow up (as seen in the text conversation) they blocked me. I tried calling and it wouldn't even ring it was immediately sent to voicemail. That's what happens when you're blocked. I opened a dispute with PayPal since there was no further way for me to communicate. They first offered me $75 as a partial refund. Unacceptable. I'm not paying even $1 for something I didn't order. It takes time to move through the dispute process so approximately 2 weeks later they did offer a full refund. The catch? They wanted the item returned with a tracking number. What a scam. They knew full well that wasn't possible and would cause the case to be decided in their favor and they get to keep my money. What was I supposed to send them? A box of random dead flowers? Those flowers were long dead and in a Hawaiian landfill somewhere. They could have had their product back had they gone and picked it up like they said. They never even attempted to reach out to her. If I could give them zero stars I would. I'm not one to make negative reviews, I prefer to leave positive reviews because there are never enough of those, especially for small businesses. These people cheated me out of my money and I would never recommend them to anyone. Ever. I think they know how to work the system and have likely done this to people before. Shame on you for taking advantage of anyone in this economy where folks can barely afford groceries. Definitely no mahalo here.
